hi there. I had a bad couple of days last week and although I did gain, I lost it right away. So…my weight this week is the same as it was last week. Even though I was bad last week…I managed to stay on plan for the weekend so I’m happy about that.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!!!

Jennyl – glad to hear you were able to get back on your plan.
Puppy Update – the newspaper add ran on Sunday for the first time and will continue for 9 more days. I received on inquiry but it did not go anywhere. I am both disappointed and relieved. I’ve decided that if I cannot sell him over the next 9 days I will keep him. Perhaps a higher power wants him to stay. Things are better. He and I have developed a minor routine but I keep him crated when in the house so we spend a lot of time outside in the evenings due to his urination issues!
Life Update – I can really tell that I have lost weight when I look in the mirror and based on my clothes, they are falling off. I am disappointed that I have not met a nice availabe guy. Men are giving complliments and I’ve gotten three phone numbers put I erased them because these were not people I really wanted to get to know better. I’ve been spending a lot of time with my neighbor but I know it cannot go any where. I think we are both just rebounding as we both just got out of serious relation ships at the beggining of the summer.
Ohh well.

I have a puppy that I am housebreaking too. I love her but I will be very happy when she is housetrained! She is doing a lot better lately but it rained all weekend and she doesn’t like the rain and avoids going outside.
I am looking forward to dating. I have lost 35 lbs but my clothes, although looser, haven’t gone down in size much. Also, not one single person has noticed that I’ve lost weight. It’s discouraging. Anyway, I don’t like dating when I’m heavy because I am often left disappointed. Maybe in a few months I’ll date again.

Hey Ya’ll,
I’m actually babysitting a puppy tomorrow morning from 7am to 1pm, her mommy is droppin her off with her training pads….eeeeek. I hope that goes well. I decided to only watch other people’s pet in my house because being at theirs is wayyyyyyyy too tempting as far as junk food. that’s what did me in last week, but i’m back on track now with only a 2 pound gain. hope all is well with all.
hugs,
Rina

Congrats at getting back on track.
Thats a good idea to stay home verses going to other people’s houses since you know its a binge trigger. Good Job. Its all about baby steps.
Are you trying to get into Ketosis or are you following a diff eating plan?

I feel pretty good this morning. Things are slow at work which is nice sometimes. I worked out again last night by doing a walk/run for 4 miles. I was trying to burn off the cals from a small bag of pork cracklin I ate. I cannot keep this type of stuff in my house or I will eat it verses eating real food. Besides its not suppost to be a meal and really does not satisfy like one either. Its good for a snack but thats it. Anyway, my legs are sore in a good way. I plan to do some type of physical activity every day through November because I plan on going home and no one has seen me since May 05. They will be shocked becasue I have not been this low in weight since high school. By Novemeber I should be at goal which is amazing to me.
Since its getting darker earlier (8pm last night), I noticed that I wanted to snack more. This summer I spent a lot of time out doors in the evenings (watering the grass and hanging out with the puppy) so I was not in the kitchen. I’m going to need a game plan for fall/winter. When I get boredn or restless I head for the kitchen to look around eventhough nothing is in there. Maybe I will keep minumal food choices and no snacks to help with the grazing urge.
What techniques do you use that works for head hunger or emotional hunger?

A dear friend of mine told me she is seriously considering surgery for her weight issues. She is over 300 pounds and only 5′2. I’m frightened for her becasue of the surgery thoughts. She is very intelligent and spirtual and I know that she has been battleing weight issues all of her life and if she decides to go thru with it, it is because she is at peace with the choice. But…………….people die from these types of surgeries. She said her doctor fully supports her based on her 10 year history of gaining and losing 100 pounds over and over again. She was molested (touching only) as a child by a male relative and her father was emotional abusive to her about her appearence and weight growing up. These issues plus more lead to serouse emotional eating binges. She’s been to counsleing, WW, done Atkins and loses weight but always regains it due to stress.
I just want to vent……………I told her I would support her decision either way. I’m 98% sure she is going to do it.
I have not told her how much weight I have lost becasue I did not want to seem like I was rubbing it in her face. Its amazing how our brains/thoughts influence our behavior so strongly.
I see it in myself regarding male/female relationships and eating. Sometimes I feel so lonely for male attention that I will spend time with someone that truely does not deserve my attention. I feel like my life is missing an important element becasue I do not have a boyfriend. I’m embarrased to admit this but it sooo true.
Alright, I’m done with true confessions…………….

Good Morning,
Everyone must be very busy this week. I will still post because I need/love this thread. I received three compliments about the weight loss today at work already. I’m trying to remain humble and realistic becasue I know it is so easy to regain weight. Everyone wants to know the majic technique and there is none. I’ve eaten LC for five years so the only thing I have changed is that I eat significanly less food due to ketosis. I do not feel like taking the time to explain it to people. I just say I lost the weight from portion control which is the simple truth.
I started working out daily on Friday and yesterday my appitite was crazy. I was hungry all day. I should be in deep ketosis but I’m frustrated with the hunger feeling. Its not intense but I truely am hungry becasue when I try to drink water to satisfy the feeling it does not work! I hope this goes away, I dont like thinking about food this often.
How is everyone doing?
