If I have a day of treats then the next day it's back to eating healthy - and same goes when on vacation - I have realized that the reason I was morbitly obese was the way I ate and lack of exercise -I don't want to be morbitly obese - I want to live ..

Stop me, please!
GO IN THE KITCHEN AND THROW AWAY THE CRAP YOU ARE EATING NOW.. I don't allow crap in my house - if it's not there it can't be eaten - I'm almost 4 yrs out and if there was a choc cake in the kitchen I would eat it - would you leave a bottle of booze in the kicthen if you were an alcohlic - nope - so don't keep crap in the house - and if it is in my house (after company comes) I throw it a way - better in thee (trash) than in me...
-
I'm desperate.
What are you eating - are you logging your food - give me a typical days food (tell the truth) are you exercising - Losing weight is all about calorie in vs calories burned. It's better to be on the loser side than the tighter side - Our bands are only tools the major work is up to you - You gotta eat healthy foods - you gotta watch the sugar - white starches - alway eat pt first - then veggies..

Phyl - Eastern WA - I thought they wanted to get away from the WA weather.. Isn't Tracy like you and likes the sun - I know she's always complaining about the cold and rain..

Good Morning Peeps Had boot camp at 8 - I was pooped yesterday.. Karla - Boys are so much easier to diaper - since boys don't have cookie (my niece's saying for the vajj) it's easier - the only thing is if they get curicumsize which they did back in the day but now welfare won't pay for it - Joseph was curcumsized Andrew isn't and all you gotta do then is push the skin back and clean - but poop doesn't go there either - I perfer boys to girls as far as raising - I think they are easier - I had my niece (same age as Joseph) who I would dress up an play with her hair - then Kaitlin & Brooke and have had 4 step DD's so I have had my share of girls - the thing is if she were having a girl then all you would see is cute boy clothes - and when it's a boy you see all these cute girl clothes - it's just like when you are a 18 you see cute 10's but when you are a 10 you can't find shit LOL As far a DD's bf kid - that has a lot to do with his mom too and how he was raised - it's not all the bf's fault - Temperment etc ya can come from him but also it can be just to lack of displine and maybe adhd. Who knows - quit thinking the worse - this child is a blessing and it will have love - you will be their to help guide the way. Phyl - Hugs on the doc issues - If they can't find a vein after a couple trys tell them to get someone else - I do - but truly now a days my veins show and are easy to get - less body fat covering them up is what Idrise said.. Echo isn't bad they just hook you up with patches - no biggie it won't be as hard as the other test. Linda - Since you have a dh - that's his job LOL I'm old school - trash and yard man's work - the rest mine - but since I don't have a dh - it's all up to me - I hate taking out the trash - that was Joseph's & Andrews - Once Joesph got old enought he did the yard - I did it sometimes - but then when he left and i got to a certain age (like in my late 30-40) I got a gardner as it would take one whole Sat to mow the front & back and clean up - my old house had a big yard.. You gotta take care of those hips so that they will work correctly in the future - you gotta heal - Hugs on the cold - put on TMC - get your beading out and chill and drink oj ;0) doc Janet orders Candice you are up bright and early today - what's on your agenda today.. I am finishing Andrew's wash so I can wash - he never cleaned yesterday - so I need to vaccum today - everything else is ok - I'm not moping - got the back yard all washed off from Brooks sidway chalk last weekend my roses dead headed- candles lit - now a shower - boot camp had me sweatind maybe a little food shopping - I need veggies and something for dinner.. CBL

Karla - I ate too much yesterday 2 - most likely not too bad but I normally keep my calories around 1500-1700 - yesterday ate too much sf ice cream and the last kllondike bar - now no more junk - I threw away a whole box of them when the kids left but left one and I ate it..

He got steriods - antibotics - creams - got home around 3ish - cooked dinner - When I got home Kaitlin & her gf where in my bathroom getting pretty for what I don't know - but it was bugging me they just took over my bath room (i am so glad I had boys they don't get in your stuff) so I ended up kicking them out - then Had to tell her how come you didn't take out trash or make the couches back up after they had slept there - My house was clean friday nite (andrew came during the day) - now it's a mess - I love my kids - but hell I just saw them 2 weeks ago..

Lucky #7 are still going strong !!!
Good Evening Gang.. Karla - some days you are just hungry - I ate a grill cheese for lunch - I don't need a fill (rye bread - havarti cheese) I was full - but I ate it w/no problem.. Now that you can get out and walk that's going to help - No saying you don't need a fill - but be very careful cuz it seems like the last 2 had to be removed - also - DON'T BUY THE CRAP !!! That's where you have to exercise your control - if it's not in the house you can't eat it.. That's what I do - I exercise control in the grocery store so I don't have to rely on will power when I am home - cuz at home i have NONE... Linda - Glad you got to see Candice it's good for your soul.. There are still houses here for sale !!! one like mine for $171,000 (no pool) but you can always use mine ;0) Karri - How are you feeling today Phyl - where in the heck are you - have you had your bond scan - how's Jackie Candice On the road again - how long till you get home Well my heckit day - Joseph is suppose to come to take bmw back to MIL cuz she doesn't wnt it in her name anymore (her dh is behind this) the kids can't refi it cuz it has $100k - they have tried to sell it but haven't been able to - plus it's in MIL so kind of hard and they are upside down too - so they are taking car back to her and she can sell it.. Anyway - figured they would be here around 10ish - got call @ 5 that they weren't comming cuz guy who was going to help drive (joseph doesn't have a license) flaked and they are going to rent car to go back home and Kaitlin can't drive a rent a car - so this is after I spent $150 at the store for weekend food for them - food I don't eat - so then I was pissed - well then they call - I guess when Melissa gets off work at 7ish they will hit the road - so that means they wont be here till 2 a.m ish ... I have boot camp at 8 a.m. OMG - I hate this kind of crap - plus I am babysitting Andrews dog till he gets off work - poor thing has to stay outside cuz she and the cat aren't freinds lol... So she got some ck w/her dog food tonite ;0).. Well that' s about it for me All our schools are talking lay offs - police (riverside county sheriff - including our whole county) is talking about having to lay off 500 pple.. I really don't understand why now that when things are suppose to be looking up - there are more lay offs.. I guess it's all about the pension ?? Calpers that these pple are getting - got email from boss today saying that there are alot of pple in calpers getting $100k plus a year in their pension $12000 a month retirement - these are higher ups - but omg they are collecting the bucks - where as I will get like $1700 a month from SS when I'm 62 or maybe 65..
