Eleni,
I am so proud of you girl. You thought that you were doing so terrible. I can tell when you don't post that you are not doing well. But you are doing great. That is awesome that you lost the 1/2 lb. that gets you closer to your goal.
My sister had to start thyroid meds last year and she could never lose weight either. Just kept gaining no matter what. Now she is finally losing and she is walking a lot also. She has a lot more energy now that the thyroid is on an even keel. You will do great once they straighten out that problem. I know you take so many other meds also. But you have to have this one so make sure you take it. You will be able to lose weight without so much hard work once the meds kick in.
I am so proud of you. Hang in there and there is another loss waiting for you next week also. Keep it going and keep doing what you are doing it is working for you.
CC,
I hope you get the job. You know sometimes they would rather hire the one with no experience so they can train them the way they want. It is hard to change someones ways once they are used to doing a certain job. I wish you luck and here are some (((((((((((((((((((((((( getting the job vibes))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) for you. You will knock them off their feet. Glad you got the new outfit. Didn't it feel great to get a smaller size. With all the glowing confidence you have in yourself right now with the weightloss it will shine on through and they will see how confident you are as well. That might help a lot. Keep up the great job and let me know what happens.
I am back on track today. I am drinking more water this week. That is going to be my goal. I will start a new goal thread for the week if one hasn't been started. I am going to the buffet for dinner but I will make sure to only eat what is legal for the SB plan. That way I won't blow it tonight at dinner. I am having a great day and with all the food I ate last week I shouldn't be hungry for a week.
Nita,
That is great that your open house turned out so well. I did everything for ours last year and no one showed up just the regular people. I was very dissappointed. All they had to say to me was see I told you no one would come. That made me madder. At least I tried. I wouldn't have any regrets about not being there. You did your part and then some to plan the whole thing. You had to decide what was more important and I would have made the same choice if a friend had asked me to be there to. See it all worked out great.
I am a stress eater to. We just have to catch ourselves doing it. That is the hard part. But when you know for certain you are stressed or going to be then that is when you need to really pay attention to what and when you are eating. I have done that and I have found out I eat for a lot of reasons stress being only one of the reasons. So we do all have to be careful and watch when we are eating. If you just get done with dinner you shouldn't need to be eating again within 15 min. your dinner hasn't even settled yet. I have done that also. We just need to get busy like wendy said and take our minds off food. Like she did when she got on the treadmill right after work.
Wendy,
You are doing great as well. I know you have so much on your plate right now. But it will work out in time. I know it seems like it will be forever but it won't. Is there any other family that can help out? You stand strong and for every day you stay on plan remember it is another day closer to goal. You had a loss last week with all this going on you can do it again this week.
I am there for you.
Sherri
. We just cannot seem to get everything figured out. We get half information, half stories, and no rememberance on either end. Part of me wishes i could quit my job and take care of both of them, and then get someone to sleep there to watch them. Any way I could go on, and on. This is going to be a rough weekend. I'll talk to you guys later. Hopefully with everythiing going on I can buy that book I want.
