Hi all
Today I let sugar cravings get the better of me again. I feel like I am recovered enough from the trip to be among the living again, lol. But I have not normalized the emotional eating. Thanks all for the words of advice.
Larry you are amazing with the continued weight loss. "46 pounds since the friday after thanksgiving" That is AMAZING. I have heard of Foxamax. As I recall its a 1 or 2 year protocol. Yes, powerful stuff.
Jen sounds like you are back on track with calories. That's great. AND doing the OMAD plan. That's great. congrats on your PJ bottoms fitting loosely. WTG on that. Sorry that your Mammo got moved to Friday.
Nancylmrn I hope you get the Comcast cable situation sorted out. Glad you are recovering from the snow storm. I heard on the news that the Seattle area is 3 inches shy of the all time snow record for February. Let's hope the rest of the month is either rain or dry. I am so sorry that you experienced this level of abuse in your previous marriage. Thank GOD you were finally able to get out. Abusive marriages leave the woman feeling powerless to leave and make it on their own. the men literally steal their power. Of course this is not just limited to men abusing women. But it was my frame of reference when writing this. So glad you have reclaimed your power and strength. And you met someone who is not what I call a soul stealer.
Ciecie I am in great admiration of your power walks
Emily Congratulations on getting the Marriage License. The pic you are using for Avatar is beautiful. So sorry you were in an emotionally/verbally relationship in the past. Healing from this abuse takes so much time, love and dedication.
Jules so glad your DD is doing well post surgery. You sure have come a long way from once being 300 lbs. Congratulations on being where you are at. What an awesome feeling it must be to realize just how far you have come.
Diana congrats on the new scale. AND being a bit down from where you were before the old scale broke.
GrannyNancy I hope the starbucks Biscotti was delicious. I like the idea of "savor it" I agree with you re pharmaceuticals and lack of regulations. Living in these human bodies means we often have to take RX medication. But I do grimace when I take them. I try to seek alternatives from the naturopath whenever possible.
Momwannabe I think all losses are significant. Regardless of the number. Its always great to be going in the right direction

! Finding motivation is a big deal for me as well. Some people find that cutting out all sugar and going low on the carbs helps with cravings. Others find that way too difficult to even think about doing, lol. I understand how difficult motivation can be. Just keep at it.
Syck congrats on the 2 lb loss. When do you get the result of the exam?
WB Thank you for the beautiful words you wrote to me. I appreciate it. Please know I really wanted to go to Boston to see family. So you saying you hope I go was a positive thing. I would have moved heaven and earth to go. I love my family even though they are often cruel, its great practice for me to be non reactive. And to nurture my mother even though she is incapable of being that for me. I have a lot of work to do around my very cruel brother. But hopefully I can be better in the future. (He is good to his wife though). My goal is to be kind no matter what. And to NOT take anything personally. I do not think I could go there without the support from my Brother's widow who traveled there from the west coast. She is not at all abusive. So we can be of support to each other. Its very complicated. That's for sure. AND it takes quite a while to recover from going there. Sorry if this all is TMI.
I had three meals planned. Then I felt cravings for chocolate. Instead of resisting the cravings, I got in my car and went to get chocolate covered salted caramel balls. But I also got 2 granny smith apples. I did skip the middle meal. But that does not come close to how many carbs I ate with the chocolates and apples.
B Coffee 200
L Boneless skinless chicken breast cut up with vegetables, Coconut aminos, ginger, garlic and "better than bouillon" 300
2 G smith apples 180
Chocolate covered caramel balls 400?
Dinner salad with low fat feta and BHF dressing 280
1360??
Goal for Thursday:
no sugar! But I may end up having Vegan puffs made from Organic Sorghum flour and sunflower oil
But, this was after breakfast and lunch. I need to remember to weigh myself first thing in the morning. Anyway, I just gotta focus and keep going I guess. Do any of you experience unexpected weight gains?
