Hi ladies, well the news is good I lost 3.4lbs this week and reached my new goal that my doctor set last week. It is 20lbs higher then the original one he set but he is very satisfied with where Im at and feels that my body has been trying to tell us all something over the last several months. This is the lowest it intends to go, I will attempt to lose 10 more lbs but Im very satisfied to finally have reached a goal. My next challenge will be to keep it off. Have a good week all and hang in there it pays off in the end or should I say comes off.

Oh, me too, Hotsplashes. My mom lives with me (that is, we share a house right now as we are both working single moms) and she is chronically underweight so even though we often discuss trying to eat better foods in general as we all would like to be healthier, she doesn't really understand what it is like to need to TRY to lose weight. One of my sisters just had a baby 2 weeks ago and our mom told her that she always was able to put her pre-pregnancy jeans on just a few days after giving birth. :eek: I made sure to tell my sister that was not normal, though.

I am feeling a lot better about things today - I wrote a test in my college class last night and I think I did pretty well. I also took the day off work yesterday, theoretically to study for my test but really because I just needed a mental health day because work was driving me nutso and I thought I might kill someone at the office. :o I said "mental health day" when I called in, too. :lol: I spent the morning re-arranging my living room and fixing a broken bookshelf instead of actually studying. Ahh, there's nothing like using power tools and a hammer to work out frustration. :p

I've been watching Dr Phil too. I think I certainly have a lot of issues I still need to deal with. One thing I think I've more or less gotten past recently is that I always used to let other people define who I was, what I did. It seems like I've heard the phrase "but that's not like you at all" about 84,000 times - and I always hated it. Who exactly did they think I was, anyway? Now I couldn't care less, because I know who I am, and anything I DO is "like me," because I AM me. Duh.

You know, I've lost weight before (and obviously gained it back) but this time is different for me. I'm at a different place in my life. I have a good boyfriend who tells me I'm beautiful all the time, which certainly helps my self-esteem - but I don't depend on him saying that. I've let go of a lot of things that happened in the past. I'm really feeling that I am what I do now, not what I did before. I recently heard someone saying "but I can't do things like that," and even though I don't really know what she was talking about, it was like a light came on for me. I can do things. It doesn't matter if I'm afraid, or if I don't know how - I can learn, and I can do things that I'm afraid to do. It's OK to be scared; it's not OK to live your life doing only things you've done before because everything else is scary. I went on a Ferris wheel with my son this summer even though I was afraid. I flew in a tiny airplane with my boyfriend last month even though I was afraid. Next month I have to do something that scares me even more than that - I have to give an oral presentation in my business English class. I'm going to do it, and I'm going to do it well. It doesn't matter if I'm scared. I'm going to do it anyway.

Helloo, superlong post? Where did you come from? :o :lol:

Hi southern butterfly, i completely agree with you on this one.....all my family and friends think a visit from someone = food, even calling into my italian freinds results in coffee / cake or more, they are offended if you don't accept what is offered. Even in my own home i always have at least 3 tins full of homebake goodies [ i use them for my children's lunch boxes] but always offer them when guests call in..it's part of our social ettiquette.

part that i am trying hard to break........i usually offer tea/coffee etc.....then ask if they want the cake tins, quickly saying that i'm not partaking but they are welcome if they would like to...........9 times out of 10 they too are on a diet / healthy eating plan and would rather not also!!!!

We really do need to address this issue, it would make it so much easier for us loosers!!! ;)

Wow Topaz what an inspiring post!!! I'm proud of you, it takes a lot of courage to take that outlook on life, but it truely is the best way.
I have a saying which fits this perfectly, check it out at the bottom of my post - i use it daily as i am always doing or trying new things!!!

As for you Dollar - CONGRATULATIONS on your loss and reaching your goal - how good a feeling is it? I am now 6lbs off my goal weight and am trying really hard to be wear your are now!!! WELL DONE;) ;)

What a bunch of amazing ladies we have on here!

Southern Butterfly...Yes..you are right...A turkey on whole wheat doesn't fix the hurt but the B&J does! When i broke up with my first bf when I was 15, I ate bananas and french onion dip...gross but at the time it tasted good!lol

Dollar Congrats on the loss! What program are you on? Obviously doctor supervised. More people should consult with their doctors. I have a friend who's doing the Bernstein/atkins thing with her doctor yet refuses to follow the guidlines. And she wonders why she's not losing.

Topaz...your post is amazing. A long time ago, I learned you have to get out of your "comfort zone" or life will never get better. People keep whining about how bad their lives are yet are unwilling/afraid to step outside that situation because even tho is sucks...they know it and aren't scared of it. If one would step outside their comfort zone they would realize that they've just made it bigger!

TulipFairy...what can I say...you are profound. And your saying at the bottom of your posts is true. If someone keeps doing the same thing over and over again...how can they expect to get a different result? People must see the outside the box. But alot of people don't want to.....

Well, ladies...tomorrow is the weigh in. I've tried to be good all week but today at work our boss bought us 2 huge pizzas because we got all the yearlings in thier harnesses and into the carts and paraded them around the track.

Of course one of mine decided that the ditch was a fun place to lie down. But we got ole Royal back up and trotting like a pro. He's just a bit unsure of himself!lol

I'll postie the wiegh in tomorrow!

Got on the scale at 5:30am today ladies and am down the weight I gained! Back to 179!!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYy See everone later!

Congratulations, hotsplashes!!!!:bravo:

The scale was nice to me as well this morning. Down to 148.4. It scared me yesterday because it went up from 150 to 151.2. Can wet hair really make that much difference?

Have a great day!!!!

Ahhh what a good day. Scales down. Horses behaved. NO Royal in the ditch. Finished work by 1pm. Happy Happy Happy.

And now we see that Southern Butterfly is down too!! What and Awesome Loser you are!!! Congrats SB! And yes....wet hair can make that much diff. Plus the water that your body absorbs thru the skin during bath/shower time.

Hope all you ladies are going to have a great weekend!

Hotsplashes and SB congrats on your loses. You asked what program Im on I go to Weight Watchers and my doc fully supports the program, he has been following me through it for the last 18 months. He started weaning me off my blood pressure pills at this time last year and did it very slowly until Feb when he was going to cut it down by 10mg once again and I just said "oh come on I have worked so hard for this let me go cold turkey from here" he agreed as long as I came back on a regular basis to have it checkedit is now seven months later and my pressure is still down. He is truly amazed because he told me once you have been on medicztion as long as I have then usually losing weight does not have much effect on your pressure. So needless to say he is more tehn pleased with the result.

anyway sorry for running on like that I hope you all have a great weekend, Im working Sat and Im going to check out a gym on Sun I think I will join because now that goilfing season is over I need something to do for the long winter. Take care I'll check in by Mon.

Dollar that is wonderful! You have worked hard to get where you are and now look at you! No Blood Pressure pills! It's amazing what a healthy lifestyle can do for people. A friend of mine has diabetes and Lupus. Back when I was I was in shape and a healthy eater, I got her to start eating properly, walking doing some weight exercises to help build up her bone mass....she was off her insulin completely in 3 months, there were no signs of her lupus either. She goes back to her horrible husband and is now on 5 shots a day instead her former 3 shots, her lupus is twice as bad and she's sick all the time. ALL her doctors told her that it is due to the poor eating and the stress of an abusive husband.

But I am soooo proud of YOU!! You have stuck with this program and succeeded! I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Tell us on Monday about your visit to the gym!

Hey ladies! I have been laid off from work since 9/12, and it has been sooo easy to overeat. Last week I was up to 148, but, this morning weighed in at 146!! I'll take it! I have been stress eating alot, which includes chocolate and peanutbutter (both no no's), but, have also been exercising my butt off! I was delightfully surprised last weekend.....I wanted to buy a new pair of jeans (the last pair I bought was 2 years ago after the birth of our 3rd baby, and was a size 14), so, I decided to give in and go to JC Penneys. Unfortunately, I do not like the way most women's jeans fit (button above the belly button), so, I asked the cashier about low riders. She says, oh, you mean in juniors? I said "juniors?" Anyway, I tried some on, and ended up with size 9 juniors, and they fit! I couldn't believe it! Mind you, they are a little snug in the caboose, lol, but, they fit.

Boy, lets see if I can catch up.....

Shelly,

Hi! Sorry to hear about your broken scale, maybe it's a blessing in disguise? I have to say, it would drive me crazy though, seeing I'm an addict, lol.

Dollar,

Hi! Great job on the weight loss! What an accomplishment!

Hotsplashes,

Hey! It always makes me feel better to see the scales go down, even if it's only .5 pound!!

Southern Butterfly,

Hi! Congrats on the loss! It seems like we are all a bunch of losers this week, LOL, I mean that in a good way.

Topaz,

Hi! It sounds like you have a very caring and supportive boyfriend. I understand how it feels to let others define you. Most of my life it was, she is so smart, but, it is expected of her, she is such a hard worker, but, she needs to buy things for herself. My mother was a widow when I was 13, and raised me for the next 5 years, and those were the toughest years. Good job at facing your fears. My dad would say, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

Tulip-Fairy

Hey! I have been trying to limit weighing myself to 2 times per week, but, have to hide my scales to do that! Then I just look at the cupboard they are in and say, I will not get the scales out. Sounds crazy, I know, lol.


Holly

Glad to see you back Chikitababe...hope the job search turns out well. Congrats on the 2lb weightloss! Yes...even if it half a pound...it's a success. I will take any success where I can!lol

Work was good today...came home had a hot bath and a good nap...but busted hip isn't hurting as bad and I'm reducing the amount of meds daily. So I'm happy with that too.

All my horses were good today...the weather is crappy...supposed to rain right into next week. So I guess tomorrow I'm going to have to buy some heavy duty rain gear for the winter!

See everyone tomorrow!

Ooooh how I wish I had more support. The BF ordered out for supper two nites in a row. And both times things I am not supposed to be eating. So I really limited myself and ate very little pizza and KFC. Neither sat well in the ole tummy and I was sitting on the porcelaine throne several time in the last 24 hours. My body is really rejecting the crappy foods now.

Hope to see more folks posting on here soonl! I'm getting lonely!lol

Firstly, i know what you mean about the support......i am going to try to get DH to join me on this weight loss thing, he could really do with it, and probably won't unless i suggest it!! ;)

Secondly.....i'll try to post daily if i can, I don't want you getting lonely now!! lol :dizzy:

and thirdly - I am making a change this week.......I am not going to get on the scales until next Sunday [honest!!!] I am driving myself to distraction, weighing everyday...my kids think it the way it should be, My 14 year old doing it daily now and shes only 63lbs!!!!! It's got to stop. So that's it, they are put in the cupboard until next sunday when i will wiegh myself on my own, without DD knowing :s:

i will come in here daily to give you a progress report!!! and i promise not to tell any fibs!! :^:

chikitababe - good luck with the job hunting and congrats on your new pair of jeans..I bet you were well chuffed to be sent to the junior section!!!! :p :p I took your advice about the scales in the cupboard tactic...I let you know how i get on!!

Oh and one last thing....HOTSPLASHES......KEEP OFF THE JUNK FOOD & YOU'LL KEEP OF THE THRONE!!!!! YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE!!!!! :D :D

Until next time!!:)

I finally got my DSL set up at home (yay! no more slow dial-up!) so I'm hoping to check in here more often.

chikitababe, congrats on having a "junior" behind. :lol:

Hotsplashes, I too ate too much junk this weekend and I felt terrible - all tired and sugar-buzzed and weird. I much prefer feeling strong and healthy and energetic like I did all summer. So maybe I learned a lesson from this. Hey, I just realized yesterday was the first Sunday in ages that we didn't order pizza. That's good, I guess. Cheese is one of my major weaknesses, right after chocolate. :p

I still haven't lost any more - in fact am up a pound, but I'm not surprised, because I've been eating really badly lately. I'm back on track today, though. I really need to plan ahead more and make sure I have a variety of healthy snacks and "treats" around, because otherwise I end up eating something (or lots of somethings) I shouldn't, since my family members all buy a lot of junk food. It's not their fault, though, it's got to be up to me to eat right, I have to make my own food choices. And maybe I can set a good example to them at the same time.

I think I am going through withdrawls---help! I have been staying off the scale all weekend, and it's killing me! I want to be surprised at my WW weigh in tonight. I am 1.8# away from goal and I want to make it in October. If not tonight, I have 3 more Monday's to make it...:^:


WW start 209# (1-9-03)
WW last week 153#
I can do it!!!

Tulip!....it's amazing how much children follow in our footsteps...we don't realize how much they watch what we do until we see them acting like us. It's very scary sometimes.

I'll be your partner in the Sunday weigh in thing...I won't get on my scale this week until Sunday! That will surely keep me from overeating and binging on junk food now!

Topaz!...One pound isn't bad! think of it as Water Bloat!lol Drink up lotsa water to flush it out! And do an extra few minits of Aerobic exercise and it'll be gone in no time!

You will be the stronger person for setting a good example for the rest of your family members! I try to do the same thing for my sister and BiL who are severly obese as well as their son. My niece is tall and thin like i used to be...she is very conscious of what goes into her body...so she is a good influence on her parents and brother as well. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK TOPAZ!

Ideal! ...1.8 lbs is a good goal! And you'll have made your WW goal! I am so PROUD OF YOU!!! Stick with it! I bet you will make it before the 3 mondays is up! Let us know how the weigh in goes! I can't wait to find out! GOOD LUCK!!!


OOHhhhhh SHEEEEELllleeyyyyyyyy where arrrrrree youuuuuuuu?????????????

I'm trying to make Mondays my only weigh day. It's so hard!! :lol: We're such Scale Addicts! :lol:

Well, tonight my family had meat&potatoes stew for dinner...but I had a egg white omelet with salsa! They also all had chocolate bars and pepsi...I had some spinach salad and loved it! I'm so proud of myself tonight. I also turned down a "Jos Louis" cake (I'm usually such a sucker for chocolate) from my boyfriend and told him how well I ate today and that I didn't want to screw that up.

Hotsplashes - I'm quite relieved that it's only one pound - that's nuthin! I'm going to try really hard to do well this week so I can see the scale go DOWN next time...assuming I can actually wait a whole week. But only Mondays "count" for me now.

Ideal, how was your WW weigh in? I hope you made your goal! You'll definitely make it in October! :D

Well, I did lose but not all of it. I lost .8 so now I have only one pound to go! But a co-worker brought in carmel corn today-talk about diet sabbotagers! I will make it and thanks for all of your support! This is the best place to be :)

Howdie doodie ladies!

Topaz! Good going on the Nay to Candy Bars and Coke! AND AWESOME on the good eating! I'm not a pop drinker so I can easily avoid Coke. My sister and brother are Coke a holics. 4 big bottles between the two of them a day....and they wonder why they weigh 500lbs between the two of them.

Keep up the good work Topaz...and yes we ARE scale addicts. With you weighing in on Mondays and Tulip on Sundays...I get to fufill my Scale Fix!lol

Ideal!! YAYYYYY already half way to your goal! I bet you will be down to your goal by your next WW weigh in!! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! You should go out and celebrate...buy yourself something nice...a new top, new lipstick or nailpolish! You DESERVE it!!!

I can't wait to hear about your next weigh in! Keep up the good work!


I wonder where Shelley is...Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm??///////////

Shelleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey whereeeeeeeeeeeeee areeeeeeee youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu??????????????

She's not been this quiet for ages??? trying to get her scales out of the cupboard probably!!! lol :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have a confession to make :o :o :o I forgot [honest] to put the scales in the cupboard and got up yesterday morning and jumped on them-------sorry---i promised as well!!!:doh:

But there are finaly away now........banished them to the airing cupboard - it hot and dark in there....i won't see their comforting red glow of the dials from in there!!!!!!! :^: :^: :^:

I think tulip need therapy!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

I promise [AGAIN!!! ]:s: NOT to weigh myself until sunday morning!!!

Topaz well done for stay away from the sweets and fizzy pop and here's to :cheers: our respective weigh ins on sunday & monday!!

Ideal - let us know if you decide to treat your self with a litte pressie and what you bought!!! i am so :nose: nosey!! lol

I was sooo bad this weekend. I'm going to wait to get on the scales until Friday. I'm too scared to get on them right now.

Maybe if I'm a really good girl today and tomorrow, by Friday morning, I can erase some of the damage I'm sure I caused while I was gone.

Tulip! The good thing is that you ended up putting the scales away. It may have been late...but as the saying goes...better late than never! Since I have put my scales in a hard to get at spot I have less urgings to step on them!lol

Southern Butterfly...alot can be accomplished in a few days. Stick with it and you will do it. Don't forget to drink lots of water. I am finding that with the colder weather coming, I am not drinking as much. So I have to keep reminding myself. I know take 3 water bottles to work. One for each barn!lol So whenever I walk into a barn...there's a bottle of water staring at me so I HAVE to take a drink. And it seems to be working!

SHEEEEEELLLLEEEEEEEeyyyyyyyy we MISsssssssss YOUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuu!!! Hope everything is ok in your neck of the woods. Hope you didn't get lost hiding your scales! If you did...make a big fire and I'll send out the Mounties to look for you!

See everyone tomorrow!

I have been drinking a lot of water because I'm sooo scared of what the scales will say. I did measure myself last night, and there was no change. I think I'm becoming a tape measure addict on top of a scale addict. I quess I need to hide that, too.:dizzy:

My Tape Measure is buried in a box of junk so I can't get to it!lol...I am just keeping track of how my clothes fit. The new jeans I bought 3 weeks ago are already getting looser. Although I haven't lost much in pounds since I bought them...That means I am gaining muscle and burning off the evil fat!

My hands are all swollen from the meds I use on the horses' legs and crap. I need to use surgical gloves more often. That way the stuff won't affect my hands. I can't even get my rings off tonight!

Then again...it's TOM again. So I know I have gained a dreaded 3-7 lbs of water bloat. Which really makes me want to avoid a weigh in for the next few days. It also explains some of my sweets cravings.

Well, hope so see more of you Scale Addicts on here!!!

G'morning Scale Ladies! I am off to walk the dogs then go to work. Will see all you lovely folks later tonite. Gotta go do banking and groceries after work this afternoon and will then have a bath and a nap. THEN I'll be online to tell you about my day!!

hope to see some folks here!

I gained 2.2lbs:( Argh, I could just cry:stress: Next week will be even worse because of TOM.

Hi All! I woke up this moring with TOM-hoping it will be over before my weigh in on Monday-oh, the things we worry about! I am determined to lose this last pound and start maintenance. I have been good (for the most part) all week, but the weekend is my biggest downfall. Next weekend all of my husband's family will be flying in for dad's 75th birthday party-so there will be alot of food and drink! Most of these people haven't seen me since I've lost weight...can't wait!!! I don't want to blow it this weekend (but I really have no will power). Best wishes to all of you and have a great-fun filled weekend:cool:

I "accidentally" weighed myself yet again, and am still the same - and the tape measure says so too. However, I spied my reflection unexpectedly just now and I think I look great today! It's probably just that I have on new clothes (& don't recognize myself :lol: ) but boy, is that ever a nice surprise. Kind of the opposite of how I was feeling 5 or 6 months ago on spying myself in store windows. (That is, disgusted with myself. :( )

I'm still hoping the scale will tell me a nice story next week, but as it's Pumpkin Pie Day (er, I mean Thanksgiving) this weekend I don't have high hopes. I won't overeat, though I will eat things I otherwise wouldn't. We're mainly planning for our dinner to consist of an assortment of veggies - most of which I will make sure are prepared in a healthy way - & as we're having ham instead of turkey for laziness reasons and I don't like ham all that much anyway, I don't foresee too much of a problem. Well, except for the pie. ;) I'm planning around it so that I can at least have some, though.

Ideal, good luck with that last pound! You're so close to your goal! I know what you mean about weekends - the routine of workdays really keeps me on track, but then when I'm at home doing laundry or cleaning house, or just relaxing, I find myself wandering to the kitchen for no good reason at all. I need to keep myself busier I guess. It's always the unconscious snacking that gets me into trouble. :o

Ahhhhhhhh...just came back from my version of Turkey Day dinner. Went to an East Indian restaurant and had tandoori chicken and rice. Yumyum...

Hey we must all be subconsciously timing our ToMs!lol Seems we all started this week or are about to...so Don't worry about that 2lb gain...it's all TOM bloat...

I gain at least 2-7lbs a week before and lose it the week after. go figger.

Yes I too am guilty of spying on myself in store windows...scary scary sometimes...But I did put on a pair of jeans I bought a month ago...and they're already getting loose!

So I am starting to think that I will go on how my clothing fits as opposed to what the scales have been saying!

Have a wonderful Turkey Day all you fellow Canadians and All you fellow USAers...have a great Weekend!

Hi all you scales addicts...

I did it!!:lol: :lol: :lol: I put them away and brought them out this morning to weigh myself................i did do it 3 times though coz i wasn't too happy with what it told me............i've been good all week (except saturday night- where i drank a bottle and a half of red wine!!) and i've only lost a pound this week!! :( :( I know it's better than a gain tho-
The scales have gone back in the cupboard until next week! I am going to do induction for another week as i am still 4 pounds from my goal weight and will keep off the booze.

I've tuned into you hotsplashes....my TOM is due next week also...it's a girlie thing:?:

Well we brits don't have the thanksgiving / turkey dinner thing over here so not much temptation around at this time of the year....we're are all just starving ourselves ready for Christmas. lol..... but the weekends are a nightmare....like you say ideal.......no work routine, family gatherings........they really take their toll!!

Hey hotsplashes........you said..... - Have a wonderful Turkey Day all you fellow Canadians and All you fellow USAers...have a great Weekend! - what about us brits across the pond??;)

Until next time...........keep off the scales, keep eating the right stuff - and don't forget the water........(winter tip - drink hot water in a mug like you would tea/coffee, i can drink loads like this now that the weather is getting colder!)

TulipFairy!! Congrats on the wonderful loss! LOL and you made me laff this morning about moving the scale 3 times. And for you UK folks...HAPPY WEEKEND! Of course it's nite time there now so Hope you have a wonderful week!lol

Yes Xmas is a tuff time for me too. My sister bakes the most wonderful cookies, pies, squares, and all sorts of yummie things. Then for Xmas dinner she makes whipped sweetpotatoes with brown sugar and maple syrup. How bad is that?LOL

I drink hot green tea during this weather. But of course...it's not cold here! It's been in the 70s and 80s for over a week. I think the other week's cold snap was due to that storm on the west coast pushing a cold air mass out this way.

The leaves are starting to change color here quickly tho, since that cold spell. It's beautiful out at the farm. And Today I'm going to go get rechargable batteries for my camera so I can get pics of the scenery. All the grapes are getting picked so I want to get some early morning pictures of the grapes with the dew on them.

Gotta get pics of the horses too before they look too fuzzy. And Royal is getting turned out for the winter because he's got alot of growing to do.

Well, I'm going to do my weigh in tomorrow. I'll see everyone tomorrow!

SHEEEELLLLllleeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyy We're worrriiiieeeeeeeeeddddd!!!!!!

OK...I admit it...I couldn't stay off the scale until tomorrow...I got on...and am only .5lb heavier. And that's with all the crappy eating last week and the bloat of ToM and a pair of jammies on. That's how addicted I am! i didn't even strip down!

So tomorrow I will get on again to see if there is a difference!lol

Good Morning everyone! Yes I got on the scale again today just like yesterday...no changes so that is good. I figger this tiny gain is a combo of poor eating and monthly bloating...so I'm not worried about it. I am back on program and drinking a big hot green tea as we sit here.

Today should be an easy day at work and I should be home early. Did way too much housework yesterday but bf surprised me and did ALL the laundry. So that was a big help. But considering that out of 6 huge loads, only half a load was mine, I figger he should be doing the laundry!lol

Have a great day today everyone...including you brits!!lol

I'm ready to throw my scales out the window!! I was 2lbs lighter on Sat than on Fri. This morning, it was back up 2lbs!!! Why do they do this to us?? Why, oh why?

My grandmother makes all of these homemade pies for the holidays. I eat a slice of at least 3-4 kinds every year. This year bf and I are making Christmas dinner. That's scarrier than going somewhere, because all of the food will be in our house. While we're cooking, we'll be tasting. Maybe I should put some tape over my mouth while cooking!

Well my scales are still in my cupboard...i heard them calling my name but i ignored them!!!! Arn't i a clever girl??

I am determined not to get on them til next sunday.......TOM joined me this morning so i'm DEFINATLY not getting on the scales....i have also eaten All the right & the WRONG foods today!!!

Had all my healthy stuff - scrummy very nice thank you.....then i went on to have chocolate profitroles - strawberry trifle - chocolate bar - crisps - and 2 chocolate chip cookies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh they were all great.........but i feel yacky now, bloated, stuffed & ill, my tummy is rumbling and i'll probably have to spend the evening on the loo!!! Oh why oh why do we do this to ourselves??????? I blame TOM I hate him!!!!!!!! (note it's male?!:D :D )

Butterfly - you in the kitchen with tape over your mouth gives me a great picture in my head!!!!


Hotsplashes - well done in getting Hubby to do the laundry....what's your secret i could do with it over here. I went out yesterday and on my way out i shouted, "get the washing in if it rains" I arrived home at 9pm in the evening and it was still hanging in the garden in the dark!!!!!!!!!" ahhhhh men!!!

SB!lol don't worry...you'll poop it all out!lol That's what I did today from all the turkey stuff yesterday. So stay away from those scales until the end of the week!

Tulip...I didn't do anything to make him do it...did it all on his own...I think he realizes that his time is coming and maybe hopes that by doing the odd nice thing will make me keep him around...I honestly don't know.

So for those of us who are being visited by ToM...Let's protest...set up picket lines...rallies...something! It's just not fair that men don't have to go thru this! And go thru the embarrassment of sitting in a room full of men when the tampon commercials come on!

See everyone tomorrow!

Good Morning Good Morning....Just think...one more day and it's humpday! I am back on program with the eating style my doctor suggested and feel good.

Do you ever have one of those days where just "feel" thinner? I got up this morning and didn't feel bloated or flabby around the middle at all! So today should be a good day for me!

Well I'm off to walk the dogs then go to work..

See everyone when I get home!

Morning everyone........well i didn't it again, no scales for tulip this morning......i have so much more time in the mornings now-a-days!! lol

Well TOM may have made me eat all those sweet things yesterday but today i am in control..........!!!! i am also determined not to drink or over eat this evening as we are going out to celebrate B-I-L's 50th Birthday!! I will be good :^: honest!

I know what you mean about feeling "thinner" splashes.....i woke up this morning expecting to be feeling really bloated and flabby, but was suprised when i didn't!!! Surely that's got to be better than what the scales say??!!

Until tomorrow!

I always feel "thinner" the week after TOM. I love that week. You're right, Tulip, it is MUCH better than what the scales say.

I really need to stop weighing myself. My bf is now weighing himself everyday!
