The bread is pumpkin bread and its really good. If you want to try it go to recipeezaar.com and punch in # 169706
L, I am wearing my fattest of fat clothes and they are too tight. I am so stressed about work crap, I hate that job, its like they get off on making you feel badly about yourself. I mean they will say mean, horrible things right to you. I am job hunting......
A, I would tell the doc and let him/her deal with it. That way its off you and you will have less chance of losing the massage person.

I made it through a birthday party last night without gaining a pound YEAH!!!! I didn't lose but I had a feeling I wouldn't because of the added sugar. I've been sugar free for a week & a half .... last nights cake n ice cream was the first full sugar anything since. I'm not really low carbing hard core just cutting out sugar. Still eat bread every now and then. Basically just went to sugar free snacks/ drinks. My plan for tommorrow is to not start snacking on cookies and stuff like that like I normally do.....Boiled egg in the morning that should hold me off until noon. Making a sugar free pudding pie with banana's going to try and stick with that.
T~ I have a recipe for the WW pumpkin bread it's really good. I'm going to stay away from stuff like though.
A~Any calls from anyone? Hope it works out for you :hug:

hi guys!
happy TG eve!:)

T, i too am in my fattest of the fat clothes and am outgrowing them. this sucks!

thanks for the help t:) he knows me so well that im thinking he already said something about it to her. im calling her if she doesnt call me mon cuz i sure as **** am not goin to the appt wed. not knowing whether or not shes there bc ive had enough stress.
whats up l?

enjoy your tg guys! im not lookin fwd to it.....mom sucummed to her sisters house and i hate how she cooks.

whoops dunno how i missed lorras post....

whats up sweetie? thanks. nope no calls hes not supposed to call, but she is. somethin is buggin me....i dunno if its shes not getting it or if she actually does get it and doesnt care bc when i told her that stuff shes like oh ill be fine....i wanna see you having an episode. i dunno. in a way ib dont care if she backs out when she gets told no.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!! I am off to work, I have to be there at 6 am!!! So I was up at 3:30 ish trying to open the Turkey for business!!!! I am tired and dont want to work!!!
Have a great day you two!!!!
T

work t??? that bites!! im sorry:( (((( ))) wanna chuckle? ya know the call im waiting for? well i so bit my tongue tonight bc she happens to be my bro's therapist as well and i over heard a convo bt himself and my uncle and i was just omg.

oh fyi-did i mention i dont think this girl knows her clients? she had no clue as to who my bro was.....i dunnoi if thats a quality i like bc it kinda says she doesnt care.

T~ working on Thanksgiving that really sucks....did you at least get today off? Glad Thanksgiving it all over and done with:D

A~ yeah sounds like it...either that or she has so many she doesn't know who is who anymore. You don't want some one that is over booked either then you may end up with sloppy work and you don't want that either.

I'm happy to report i seen 239 on the scale this morning :carrot: Hope I can keep it up to see the 220's :o

hi guys!

hey l how was your tg? good i hope! thanks for the support as always. i was thinkin the same thing bc the thing is, its not like he goes 1x in awhile... hes there a few times a week on no fault so i mean JC.....if you cant keep track of someone you see that often even in short periods(30 min). i know its sounds stupid, but a person in my situation needs to always have a 'team' of ppl that knows me and exactly what is going on as its happening.

dont matter....instinct tellsme when she finds out she cant go to the chiro(if she doesnt know yet) she will bk out anyway bc i think the real issue w her reguarding that is that she wants to observe me in a high risk situation so she can observe what an episode is actually like. too bad not happening she can take a hike if she so wishes but its not happening bc theres kinda an unwritten rule in that office that i have they all know it too-NO ONE goes in that room except myself and him. thats it. he even reminds them all of it bf he comes in to see me.

good job on the loss! theres so much crud in this house and we didnt have tg!!

have you guys seen deck the halls? me n mom are goin to a late show today and then to dinner.

whats up t?

Yup, I had to drag my big but out of bed and be at work for 6 am!!! only had to work until 9 am, so then home to cook all day!!!
Got my . yesterday so I hope I can blame some fo the weight on that!!!!
How you all doin???
T

A~ thats it put your foot down....You don't want someone who wants you to be uncomfy. I hope you find someone you like soon:hug:
Thanksgiving went okay. Not the best but wasn't the worst either. My sister has a new FRIEND should I say and has only known them for maybe 3 weeks. She wants me to put this PERSON on my cell phone plan. I don't know if that is a good idea or not. That and I have been wanting to upgrade my phone and this person is going to just walk in and get the upgrade I've been wanting. I have a limit so there can't be a huge bill but that will also mean we will need more minutes and I don't want to have to get less minutes because another person is on the plan. Think I should give it time to even see if them two will last KWIM?

T- gee you got to work and cook....thats a bummer i think I would have put DH to work if I had to work and come home to cook

that sucksa t! you need some you time!! hope you get some soon!

hey l! my tg wasnt that bad food wise but then again ive been offp for awhile anyway...workin on changin that. thinkin of gettin the home kit when it comes out on the 10. actually did fairly well today til dinner so that was somethin. youve been sooo helpful and supportive! ion case i havent mentioned it lately....youre awesome!! no update yet-im interested to see if she pulls out and very interested in seeing if she just happens to 'arrive'wed. if she does i have a back up plan ready to launch for my own sake.

((((( ))))

the movie was cute....

l. wouldve, but he worked until 2pm!!! Andrea, I agree w/ l you should be firm. If this person isnt respecting your medical concerns ditch her!!
I know, I have to get movin...any motivational ideas?????
T

Down another half a pound to 238.5 ...haven't seen that in a while:) Down 8.5 pounds.

T~ this time around I started mentally before changing food habits.

Your a sweetie A :hug: How's your day going?

hi guys!

i know T i have to too bc this is justv rid. the lack of activity is making more pain on my musclers(as is the extra weight), nothing fits and every little thing bothers me now(as you guys have seen lately) i went food shopping. i need to go elswhere though bc i need to get decent grapes and some mac apples. they were out and those are my staples fruit wise. yest i made chicken soup for later in the week bf and the day bf i made core meatballs. my planis to stay op as much as possible and enjoy myself at holiday events. i was aiming for tomm but i cant start w/o my fruit. we can do this T... if lorra can we can! shes our inspiration! yay lorra!! go girl!

btw T: you are just as awesome as she is....you know that right? :)

thank you both for all the support. she wants to address my needs but i think the anx thing scares her(im used to it lots of therapists dont wanna get involved bc of it) im hoping she will call so i can try lorra's suggestion about starting with phone communication w him and then giving me time to used to her and then in the future revisit her request.

im strarving im off to an early dinner...(no lunch) cuz i woke late and have been out most of the day.

((((( ))))) guys

i just wanted to share something that im psyched about. i just took a 16 oz ff miracle whip and mixed 1 T canola into it. the fat count is still nil cuz its 14g fat mixed into 32 T but yet i think its enough to make it creamy for my sandwiches and healthier bc of the absence of veggie oil.

just got back. im kinda proud in my own pathetic way. i chose choco milk over soda and ate 1 less potato skin than last weekend and thats all i ate today other than the egg sandwich this morning that was on double wheat and not in any fat. i know cuz i made it myself...hejhe. also had lots of water today.

yest was pretty good too. breakfast and lunch were core-ish(minus the doritoes) and then dinner wasnt great but again chose the milk, chose wheat bun over white no mayo and had small icecream over lg.

whats up guys?

well this is my last day offp... tomm i start! T are you with me?

lorra hows dd comin along?

would we care to place fake bets on will she be there or not? im voting yes even though she isnt supposed to be bc i acted all negative about that and she was supposed to call me when she knew what was happening. i am preoaring myself for my back up plan for my sake and the drs sake.

A~ today you have an appt? I hope shes not there :hug:

Well today I had a slip up. I didn't get but two hours of sleep last night and when I weighed in it showed a gain. It's probably from the lack of sleep or not enough water. So I went and had chips and cookies instead just the orange I had planned. DARN IT.....I cracked. Nothing I can do about it now but to not let it mess up my entire day. Back OP as of right now...time to get out my food chart and planning this weeks foods...i can't wing it this week I can't trust myself to stay OP without it.

hey lorr!:)

((( ))) get some rest sweetie. i do the very same thing. thats my prob! we have too learn to let go and not run to the food over it....hard i know...

thanks. no my appt is wed:)

Hey all, had a little bit of junk today, but went to the gym also. so i did very well!!
t

wow t! youre doin better than me!

i didnt do so well...ww pbj....lf roast sandwich on double fiber wheat, sm bg doritoes, 4 sl. pizza blotted and a 20 oz pepsi. plus dessert prob an mm brownie and maybe a choco milk.

lack of sleep make syou gain???????
t

did pretty good the rest of the evening yesterday. Up a pound and a half though. Lots of water and no sweets and it should be gone in a day or two.

T~ no lack of sleep doesn't make you gain but early morning is your lowest weight and after dinner in the evening is your highest ...if you don't get enough sleep your weight will keep the evening weight....at least thats how it works for me....I went to bed about 7 o`clock last night :lol:

A~ today is your START DAY....you can do it girl :D

hi guys!

T- yea when i dont get enough i start oinkin out.

thanks lorra! yep todays the day! i only kept off 2 lbs from the last time but @ least its something. i will be going momentarily offp tomm night at dinner BUT that is where it will absolutely end!

i ended up skipping the milk and only 1/2 brownie.

Good job Andrea with only half a brownie. I don't think I could do that. My mind would have though you already started might as well eat the whole dang thing...then washed it down with the milk:lol:
You can do this :exercise:

lol lorra... you know what? heres my confession: the reason i couldnt finish it was bc bout 2 hrs prior i scarfed 4 sl pizza and was full. otherwise yeah i woulda, but thanks.

my game plan for tomm is as follows:
core breafast folklowed by a light workout
core lunch
dinner at the restaurant and dessert possibly followed by a swim

I have been doing well, but am still gaining. My mother insists on buying 10 flippin pounds ob real butter and my bf is cooking with it. I am really pi** off I told her I didnt want the butter and now I am up to 210.7 And I have been doing well otherwise even started going to the gym again>
T

Yikes 10 pounds. I don't use that much it would last forever around here. Wrap it up and send it back to momma :lol:

A~How did yesterday go for you? I'm still up the pound & 1/2 but yet again didn't get enough sleep so who knows where my real morning weight is. Not going to go for the cookies this time because of it though. Staying strong :D

thats the ay lorra! good job!!

im doin good goin out to dinner tonight though and have already planned my plan of action so we'll see.
T: lorra right. wrap that stuff up and give it bk to momma:)

ok guys today ois the day..... ive already said 2 prayersb asking god to let her not be there.

A, how did it go???
Tara

hey t! 3 words: she didnt show! thank you god!:) had a rough time w the ajustment though but thats nothin new...thanks 4 askin. i just finished my ww chicken salad and my grapes so i should be in good shape to where i hopefully wont be tempted by apptizers. if i am, i had a thought: ill ask for a plain spud w a little bit of the lf cheese they have but i dont think ill even be hungry.

YEAH A thats wonderful news. Takes a load off your mind doesn't it? :hug: How did dinner out go? Think I did good tonight too. DD had those cookies out that broke me the other day and i didn't touch not a one :D Hope I can get enough zzz's tonight ...I really want to see if i lost anything tomorrow morning :goodscale:

thanks lorra! wtg!!!!

dinner went as planned: lf choco milk in lieu of coke, plain baked spud w light cheese an app. lowfat cheese on lean burger no mayo .

Still up a darn pound. I guess even though I thought i did okay I could do better. So much for it being gone in a day or two. Well if I can pull off another pound and a half before the weeks over I can actually show a loss for the week.

A~ great job Andrea :D

hang in there lorra!:)

im totally floored bc i know i tried to an extent last night but the truth is i still ate alot of cals last night and i was dn .6! ill take it. i should be ok now til the weekend. thatll stop soon too bcx dads coming hme very soon so we wont be eating out so itll be a lil easier.

A~ your dad doesn't like to eat out? If you pick diet friendly places it isn't so bad. And letting your self eat what you want is a good reward for staying in control the rest of the time.... I did my best to snack OP today. I think I did okay but only tomorrow will tell

hey lorra!

no bc we all love diff ones so we never all go out together... mom and i only go out to eat when he isnt here. i dont like ordering healthy meals when i go out cuz i can do that right here. theres only so far ill go to 'watch' myself in a restaurant like last night switching the cheese and creating my own lf milk(i hate diet soda)

good job on the snacks!

whats up guys? im down .4.

I am still here just the last week of classes are a killer and I just was told I forgot to hand in my final paper in one of my classes, that was due three days ago. I handed it in, but am pretty sure I will fail the class now, the instructor is such a snob.
I am down roughly 3-4 ponds this week!!!
Andrea I am so glad she didnt show!!!!
