    I don't drink alcohol because I partied enough for everyone when I was young lol. I do drink coffee though at least three a day. Once in a while now I will have a diet soda but I shake it up to make it kind of flat. I love Water though its a good thing.

    Some people never get control of the hunger issue with the band. You just have to eat filling Proteins. Beef is best if you can eat it because it takes longer to digest.

    The only question that really gripes me is why am I hungry. You are hungry because its the bodies natural response to needing food. Other then that I am good.

    Once your body detoxes from the crud you were eating it wont ever taste good. When you are nourishing your body with healthy things it doesn't need crappy fast food anymore. I think in four years I have had maybe 2 hamburgers from McDonalds only because I was in a pinch but I hated every last bite.

    cheryl2586 got a reaction from Sharpie in Just found out my husband is trying to cheat!   
    First of all him trying to and doing is two different things. If this is not the first time why let it even get to a second time. There are two things I despise and that is a liar and a cheater and if either then you have to go. There is no second chances for taking my trust and throwing it away. If you don't get away from him now he will continue if this isn't the first time. Just my two cents but once a cheat is always a cheat.

    The way you will not care about giving up your favorite foods is those foods have kept you in jail for most of your life. They did nothing to help you. If you truly care about yourself then let bygones be bygones and think about how much better your life will be without your favorite foods for a while. No one said you had to never eat them again but why would you want too.

    There is no issue with drinking wine except its a bunch of empty calories. Alcohol in general is a bunch of empty calories.

    Your body needs good fats to function properly. I do not do anything fat free or low fat. You have to balance your carbs and fat with your Protein to make your body a burning machine.

    cheryl2586 got a reaction from sansanx3 in Crock pot pumpkin chili   
    A perfect fall chili made with pumpkin puree, ground turkey, white Beans, green chili and spices. Top this with chopped fresh cilantro, scallions, jalapeños, light sour cream, and/or reduced fat cheddar and serve it with baked chips on the side for a wonderful lunch or dinner.< br />
    This is pretty mild as far as heat goes, if you want more kick use chipotle chili powder in place of the chili powder and use it according to your taste. Leftovers can be frozen, enjoy!

    You cant worry about what your husband wont eat. You need to be healthy to raise your daughter and setting good healthy habits in to her now will make her not an obese child. Do what you need to do. You don't have to be rich to have nutritious food in your house.

    cheryl2586 got a reaction from Danni-doinit4me in Jenny Craig - to do or not to do...   
    I was not in any way trying to scold anyone but I can eat very healthy for as little as 50 a week. I get plenty of Protein and boxed and prepackaged meals are not healthy. Do you know how much crap is put in to that stuff to make it taste even a little good. I have yet to find any kind of prepackaged meal that taste good. What you do is entirely up to you but I did not get my band to have to use another weight loss program to get the weight off. It's just simply ridiculous to me that I would have to depend on something that failed me. It takes less then five minutes to make tuna fish salad, less then five minutes to pack a salad, less then five minutes to hard boil some eggs, less then a minute to microwave a veggie burger. I don't see any reasoning here of why you wouldn't have time to prepare or cook enough food for the week on a day that you are off. But whatever works for you. I just enjoy fresh food and I am not going to give up my fresh food for something in a box that taste utterly awful.

    Well in your statement you have tried JC before and lost 30lbs but put it back on seems a bit over the top. Those diets never worked for us in the past and the reason it wont work no is because you can't be on it forever. Why pay all that money when your band will work if you learn how to use it. There are many ways you can have food readily available like cooking on your days off from work, freezing it and then you just have containers to take out that are already prepared and just heat and eat. I would not rely on anymore diet programs that never cured me of obesity before. I don't see the sense in it. Why not have things on hand that are healthier then prepackaged food. Prepackaged food from JC or any other weight loss center is filled with chemicals that your body does not need. Learn to eat with your band healthy foods and you don't need JC to do that. Spend what you are spending on them at the grocery store. What is wrong with making chicken salad, tuna salad, cottage cheese with some fruit. Certainly these are a no brainer to make. I refuse to let those kind of people take my money again when it never helped to begin with. Just my opinion for what it is worth.

    Her name is Anastasia and I have had her since she was about a week old. She was not being fed and in a crowded 20 gallon tank with about 20 other iguanas. She had a Calcium deficiency that caused her to be paralyzed for the first seven months of her life I syringe fed her Gerber baby food. She is 3 years old now and a spoiled ass lizard. She once was a nice little iglet but now has become a Diva. If she doesn't like something, she throws her food all over her cage. She has been a costly investment but never the less she is my baby with igatude and all.
