  2. 1. Your neck. 2. Your collar and cheek bones. 3. Your vagina (or penis) and not in the mirror! 4. A towel wrapped all the way around you. 5. People checking you out. 6. A lower grocery bill. Add your new visions.
  3. At 4 Weeks out I had a glass if wine which went into another and next thing I know I had the 4th glass in my hand. Before I knew it I was dry heaving for about an hour and my husband was scared to death. He wanted to take me to the hospital. I was sick for a few days after. Not worth it at all. I was drunk as a skunk.
  4. 36 lbs down and today was the first day I had someone mention it. It felt GREAT!
  5. Thata girl! I need to walk more than I do. I've gotten up to about 3 days a week.
  6. Way to go! Keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing!
  7. Absolutely do Yoga!
  8. A few Tablespoons should have you doing a full check. Make sure you operate under the "fork down" system. Put your fork down after every bite. This will help the food settle and allow you time to check in with yourself. Also, don't eat where you are distracted - like in front of the tv. Make sure you are eating where you are focused on eating. If that makes sense. I find my stomach tells me pretty loud when it is full. I burp.
  9. I have been so good about following everything to a T as far as diet but on Friday I was having a camp fire with friends and one glass of wine couldn't hurt right? Well it went down so well I had another and another and then after filling up the 4th glass, one sip and I was so drunk and so sick I thought I was going to die. My poor husband wanted to take me to the hospital. With no food to throw up I was dry heaving for a good hour. Scared him terribly and would have scared me at the time had I not been so out of it. Once I came to I was horified at what I had done and have spent the last 2 days gently trying to rebuild myself and praying I haven't done any serious damage. My stomach is still upset and I'm still shaky. Working to make sure I go way over on my fluid intake. Stupid, stupid, stupid. DON'T DO IT! Not sure I will ever drink again. Ever. So now I've lost comfort of food (by my own choice and I'm dealing with that) and comfort of "letting my hair down" every now and then. I really need to find another way to let loose. Man, I sound pathetic.
  10. Started knitting. Learned it on youtube. Not as effective as beer and cigarettes but does take the edge off.
  11. No change in meds but will check blood pressure.
  12. Think Im getting enough water but dizzy when I stand up. What is up with that?
  13. Thank God I'm not alone. Someone suggested knitting but I don't know how. Considering it tho.
  14. I am having a hard time. Missing my friend food. Even with the pre diet i could cheat every now and then. Not any more. Feel like i lost my security blanket. So much more mentally unstable than i expected. Dammit.
