Beautifully said, Joni. WTF covers so many exclaimations. It's purely universal!!! I thought Kim was joking about the most depressing day of the year. That is crazy......and this is why......all three of my girls are faking sick today..........WTF........I am still in my jammies (loser....and not in the good way), DH didn't get going until almost 9 this a.m., and my Uncle's mom died a couple of days ago, and her funeral is today.....on the most depressing day of the year. CREEPY.
I hope y'all are doing ok. I am choosing not to let this crappy day get the best of me. I am going to be POP, I am going to measure and weigh EVERYTHING, and I am going to change my mind to be the person I want to be.
Kim.......where in NY are you? I almost caught a flight to go to my Uncle's mothers wake.......they are in.......um..........ah heck, I can't remember right now. It will come back to me. Ohhhhh, it's Buffalo. I have no clue of the map of NY, but I seriously considered going. I am super close to my Uncle and Aunt, and there won't be much extended family there......as it is so far. But just think........had I made it..........maybe we could have met for lunch or something.........that would have been so fun. K, really now, I am going to go get something done........and maybe even get dressed

Saw this on another thread and it helped me get my mind where it needed to be after an absolutely horrible weekend foodwise! Had a birthday party for my son Saturday, ate my Baked Ziti instead of hotdogs and chili, so far so good, then had "just a bite of a cheeseball" then another bite of a yummy cheese dip, then a mini cupcake, did resist the icecream and chocolate cake so thats something, but I havent had a day like that since I started, not even through the holidays. Was gonna WI this morning but couldnt bring myself to face the scale. I know I didnt totally blow it but I still felt like crap when I went to bed! Monday! New day, new week, baby steps, one day at a time! Hope everybody has a great Monday!
Nicole - Staying in jammies is NOT loserish, it's wonderful!!
I'm about 4 hours from Buffalo (I'm near Albany) BUT - if you had gone there, Kristen could have come down from Toronto, I could have gone west to Buffalo, and we could have had coffee, gotten Kristen stocked up on Carmel lites, and shopped!
I seriously am thinking of quitting. I have 2 good weeks and then 3 bad ones. Last night I sat and thought man I have no good choices when it comes to sweets. The jello/ffcw is getting SOOOOO OLD! Tea is not doing it, I dont like the lites. What am I going to do?
I have these peaks and valleys. The COD has been NO help even after talking with Diane AGAIN! I dont want to quit but it is so freaken hard to get back into it.
This is not meant to be a pity me thing I just dont know what else to do.
Barb - I really like ffwc with my fresh strawberries. Or, what about cinnamon graham crackers with french vanilla ffwc sandwiched between? Occassionally I have 1/2 C. of ff, sf vanilla ice cream with fresh fruit or lite chocolate sauce for 1S, 1F (or not).
Just back from WI and I MADE GOAL!!!!
When i stepped on the scale it was bouncing around 170 and 170.2
So no one was around so I slipped my pants off 169.6
Thanks for all the support and good vibes. Tomorrow is one year to the day that I joined LAWL.
Good for you. You're an inspiration to newbies, like me, who might not have yet bought into the fact that we can be in the same position one day. Hearing about successes like yours helps to make it more a reality for me, and helps to keep me on plan.
Maybe I'll even be brave enough to weigh in tomorrow.
169.6
