It is going to be a scorcher here today! Mericifully it is supposed to drop to 26C tomorrow, Yay! Maybe we can get somemore work done on the yard.

I have to go to work and pick up my daughters final report card today, I am so proud of her! She won honors in Math, Science and Language Arts, for some reson she hates Social Studies so we will have to work on making that more fun.

So dish Ladies, How did all of you with Thursday weigh ins do?

I just bought some Epil Stop, has anyone used it? If so, does it work? I thought I would try it because I am not very hairy and I always forget to do my legs. It claims to keep the hair off for 4-6 weeks, if this is true that would be the Cat's Butt! I usually don't buy into claims like this so I hope it works. If it doesn't I will just hose down my Hubby's back, LOL. He is HAIRY!

Well, the dryer is buzzing so

to all and have a great weekend.

CC,

Did you get any yardwork done today. It has been very hot here. Yeah! But the thunderstorms have been terrible also. We can do without them. We get rain here about everyday it is the pitts. I know some of you need the rain desperately. But we have enough.
I have never heard of that hair removal stuff. I just do it the old fashioned way.LOL Make it a part of the routine while in the shower daily. It is no big deal to me. I know a lot of women hate the shave but not me.

I actually had a good day today. Couldn't get in touch with anyone at the social security board. So I have to deal with that mess on monday I guess.

I got my hair highlighted today. Been waiting to do that. A friend did it for me. She always does it. Then tomorrow we are going to an amusement park for the day. It is supposed to be a great day no rain. I hope they are right. We got rained out last year. We go with johns company. It is family fun day.

Have a great night. I did make it to curves today to.

Hi Ladies
I know I havent been on here for several days. But that is mostly because I am ashamed of my eating since Tues eve. I haven't been able to control myself at all. I am eating everything and anything that I can get my hands on. I just cant seem to stop. I keep thinking I can get back on track. I may have one good meal. Then bamm. I just start picking and eating and cant stop. I got on the scale this morn. It wont be a pretty sight on Tues eve. Unless I can get under control now. Maybe if I can get under control I may end up with a turtle. But at this point there is no way. I am not real sure why I am eating out of control. Some may be stress. Hubby hasnt been feeling real well. And the Dr's are kinda giving us the run around. He has went for a couple of test the last two weeks. But we havent heard anything yet. The one that was last week we are still waiting on the results. Then he had a test this week. So I guess I will wait until Mon. And then try and get hold of someone in the office and see if we can find out anything. I know I shouldn't use that as an excuse to eat. But I guess maybe I am. Well enough about me.

I have missed all you ladies. It has been sooooo hot here. And the humitity has been awful. The other day it was 100%. The computer is in the upstairs of our house. And it gets so hot up here. I just cant hardly stand it. We have central air. But it doesnt cool the upstairs. But I do know that I need to get on here. I do do so much better when I do. I havent been able to stay for our TOPS meeting the last couple of weeks. Hubby hasnt felt like staying. He just wants to weigh in. I hope he feels like staying this coming Tues. They are going to have someone there showing us how to do Yoga. I think that will be neat. Maybe if he doesnt feel like staying he will stay home. Well I better get off here. I am thinking of all you ladies. Even though I havent been on here. You are all special ladies. And I have a place for each of you in my heart. You take care. And I will check in later. Sorry I wrote a book.

Ahhhhhhhhh, Coco, take a deep breath and relax! This will all be ok, really, really, it will. Everybody pigs out now and then. It is normal, but you are right you have to get a grip before you undo all the hard work you have done.

Sounds like stress is eating at you and you are fighting back by eating.

Think of this as an excellent oppotunity to learn something new about yourself and develop a new way of coping rather than eating.

I write when I feel like this (now). Try grabbing a couple of sheets of paper and write and write and write. No one is going to see this other than you, so go for it. Doesn't even matter what you write, the goal is to occupy both your hands and your mind.

Maybe crochet or knitting would work better for you? Walking? Fishing? Doing your nails? You can replace this habit with a new one.

My other secret weapon is califlower, if you must eat, eat a ton of raw califlower. It is so dense it has to be well chewed and it fills you up. Add some fat free red wine dressing and you won't kill you at weigh in time.

That is all I can think of right now, I'm sure there will be other great advice coming.

Hang in there, you CAN do this!
