I know! I tried not to push it on her, but she see's that I was about her size when I started and see's me now. My step dad has lost 60 lbs doing Low Carb so he's even on the bandwagon for her to do it NOW. Last week when I called Denver for her.. they were booking in November.. so waiting a week has already put her in December. She is freaking out, but hopefully with all of her family behind her she will be ok. She is going to need A LOT of hand holding, because she has about 25 extra years of self sabotage to overcome..... I offered to go with her and she bought two airline flights, if my step dad can't go then I will go in his place. OK.... Pie Hole report! I had two FRIED taco's, a few chips, and a diet coke!~ I wonder how many carbs were in the shells. Round corn shells, ground beef, shredded cheese, pico, a bit of salsa... probably NOT HORRIBLE but more than my daily limit. They didn't have soup! (and I'm a huge sucker for freshly made fried shells) HOWEVER, I will not give myself liscense to eat... because I have the ps tomorrow....... and it was lunch so I have time to burn it off as long as I'm good for dinner... and I will be. I am stuffed stuffed stuffed........... but it was nice to beable to eat them without pb'ng

I posted last night and then lost it, got ticked and turned off the puter! I was laughing about the DQ outside suzies's window! I was laughing about Terry's DIE BROWNIE DIE! I was weirded out about the deep fried eggs but strangley interested in how they taste! LOL I wanted something sweet, and decided to make hot tea with a little sf creamer and splenda in it. I made myself eggs for dinner while my family had hamburger helper, and DH made monkey bread...... so I was hiding out in my room again. DH also started giving me crap about not eating..... lecturing me on it and basically being an ass...... I said it was different when I wasn't constantly fighting hunger. Before I got my last unfil I just didn't get hungry, now I'm hungry... so it is a conscience effort to be on a plan. Like Terry, my body responds best to strict Low Carb......... and so with that.. I have a WHOOOSH to announce...... The scale bounced back down for me this morning....... 176.4! Tomorrow I will be getting on the scale at the ps, so I want to be at the weight I TOLD THEM I was! LOL 175 My boss is taking me to lunch today and I am opting for the new Mexican place, so I can get chicken tortila soup. I have pork steak in the crock pot at home so tonight will be more of an "eating day" Yesterday was tuna and eggs and thats it! Besides Coffee, Water and Hot Tea........... STRICT STRICT. oh yeah I did try that laughing cow cheese and BLECH!!!!!!!! the french onion straight out of the wrapping.. yuck!

You guys are making me HUNGRY!!!!!!!!!!!! All I've had today was WC oatmeal and TUNA!!!!!!!!!!! Did I tell you that the scale was 180.6 today? Maybe the 170's by tomorrow... that right there should be enough motivation to NOT eat poorly. I'm going to cook pork steak in my crock pot over night for tomorrow... oh crap ...scratch that... I'm going to lunch with my boss tomorrow.... man I wish I had pork steak waiting for me tonight!

Haydee: BBQ beef in a crock pot, cooked overnight and then shredded with BBQ sauce the day of. Take the crock pot to work like laura said and then turn it on low with more BBQ sauce Buns, CHIPS, Salads, whalaaaaa easy guy meal, Tray of cookies, Also other crockpot work ideas Little smokies, or meat balls (in bbq sauce) or even spaghettie sauce. Nacho Dip........... Can you tell we use my crock pot for EVERYTHING! Hell you could even cook a Roast with some potatoes in the dang thing.

I am VERY proud to relay..... I DID NOT TOUCH THE PIE! I hunkered down under my quilt and kept my ass in BED... 2 hours of biggest loser and 1 hour of Half their size and then sleepy time. I was thirsty, I was craving food....... but I didn't even get up unless it was to check on Robby or pee! YayME........ The scale this morning 180.6 (the scale sunday was up 186) Also I haven't had any dt dr pepper or booze since Saturday.... I'm pulling out all the stops. I want to see 174 again and I really want 169 I awoke with a huge headache, so I'm drinking coffee. Thanks TRACY for the txt! It hit me as soon as I turned on my office light! LOL Made me smile. Michelle: I couldn't agree more! RABBIT RABBIT RABBIT!! Happy October! Lets make a vow that October is our month to really focus on our food and drinking (BEFORE the holidays hit) October is a perfect month to do it.

I lost two posts! KAT THAT IS HILARIOUS!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!! Also, I did good on eating yesterday.. probably my best eating day in MONTHS!!!! I managed to drink all 4 glasses of water so that put me right around 90 oz's. I made egg salad for today, and I also put leftover grilled jerk chicken in the crockers with an onion and pinto beans that I cooked all night.. smelled SO yummy when I left this morning.
