mompattie, your little angel is making Heaven a very special place! I picture her playing with all the friends, relatives and pets we have lost. God Bless your family
I was just getting over crying from last night, and you guys started me all up again!!
However, I'm also "enjoying" the feeling of amazement about how close you can feel to people that you've never met thanks to forums like these. I really believe in my heart that I'll be giving Pattie a hug in person one day. Hey, it's only a few thousand kms! I'm sure one of us will be "in the neighbourhood" one day! (Or side by each on our cruise pool side loungers! I believe you ordered the massage from "Sven the Whoosh Fairy" right Pattie?[
My scale TRIED to be my friend this morning. I stood on it... it bleeped and googled and did all kinds of things but wouldn't show my weight. So I got off, reset and it did it again-- would not show the weight. I said to my husband "I said I never wanted to see 200 again, so the scale is telling me to GET OFF". I didn't listen, got on, and my 199.8 (butt nekked) was now 201.2 -- with clothes on.
I laughed and said "Well you DID try to tell me scale!" ... shouldn't have stepped on that 3rd time!
With that haircut and no clothes, I'll be back in One-derland, so I'm gonna have to sing my John Mayer song again tomorrow Sheesh.... why? why didn't I listen to the scale and just stay off??

Girl, you know better. It gave you the weight you wanted. Wait a week.
THANK YOU EVERYONE for all the caring words and hugs!!! I'm doing good this year actually, time does heal for sure. We will never ever get "over it" and she forever is in our hearts but that intense pain has eased off. And yes IP43, hugging those kids is a good reminder for us all!! Thanks again everyone! Love you all!
Oh my! Anyone who thinks you "get over" a loss like that has never really experienced loss.
I'm so happy you have your little guy to celebrate his birthday now!
Celebrate and remember. Bittersweet. Enjoy his birthday!
Hugs to Mompattie and everyone else that needs one just 'cause.
I'm at my mom's place in Vancouver right now. I was really tired after traveling last night which is weird because I don't usually get jet lagged. But asleep by 10pm last night and of course up at 6:30 this morning. I never wake up that early even for work, more of a late night late sleeper person. I won't have any problems staying OP today except dinner at my brother's may prove a challenge. They have a hard time remembering what I eat, even though I've been gluten free for years and they still serve me bread! I hear it's roast beef so at least the meat will work and I'll have a few veggies in my purse in case I need something to munch on for the way home.
It's a relief to be in some warmer weather. I hear home is -31 this morning but here it is +2 and foggy. I had a wonderful crisp 45minute walk outside - so nice to not lose a nose after that long outdoors.
Well, here it goes...I'm new to this forum. I don't know if I belong here or not. I did IP last year, and had a very successful loss. I was 100% OP the entire time. Then...the phase off came. I phased off well, but reserved way too much excitement to have my 1st cheat day. It has been a roller coaster ride ever since.
Well, I've just had my last pig out session today...and things have to change. I feel sooooo yucky right now. I'm recommitting to the 100% lifestyle. As you all know, that's the only way to do this. Do you mind if I join your thread? I need the accountability to get me back on track...

Shayla, welcome back to IP. I too am a 100% "wanna-be" too-- don't always make it but sure am trying and have restarted in Jan after getting off track. I love it here because it keeps me motivated and the people are the models of what I need to be doing.
HOWEVER, this is a very positive thread and people here like it here because there is no talk of cheating, or mention of the unmentionable yummies we all know are out there. So come on in, grab a cup of decaf, and join the chat. If you fall off the wagon tho, and want to talk about that, go to the daily post for that, and we all will support you there too. We "wanna be's" need to respect those that are here and talk only about OP stuff on this thread.

Hey my 1st quote!
Thanks so much! I chose this thread because I, like you, don't want to hear about cheats...I need positives to help keep my focus. Sorry that I mentioned it in my 1st post. I'm hoping to make some new friends here! Thanks again!

Welcome to a great thread. It is very positive but also recognizes that we are human and not always perfect. It is a matter of what you are striving for and attitude. Mistakes happen, we get cravings, we have struggles. What is important for weight loss and maintenance is how you respond to these situations in an effort to keep on track. you got at least 1 new friend with me!
