Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
Michelle: YOU ARE SOOOOOO FUNNY! :car: ding dong scale and all but like Jennifur... I'm right there with ya ... I know EXACTLY what you mean about getting frustrated and then eating a pizza for spite! BEEN THERE DONE THAT Kat: Keep us updated on your mouth! I did eat my Weight control Oatmeal (it has more carbs than I'd like, but I'm trying to focus on the protien) I just filled up my water glass for the first time today and had my calcium chew. WWJD!

GOOD MORNING! TracyK: YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOOO CLOSE! Michelle: AWANA (Christian Youth Group, mainly out of Baptist Churches I think) AWANA= Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed.... awana.org Kids learn bible verses, play games and have fun......... bad thing was it didn't get over until 8p and right before they dismissed the kids had CUPCAKES and JUICE............ (not optimum for my high energy son) We had bed issues... but he had so much fun.. next week is "Talk Like a Pirate Night" and he is already talking about it. The scale is not being my friend this week.... 222.4 this morning........ guess I'm not making it to the teens! Have a great day everyone!

Two glasses of the clear stuff down today... I'll go for one more at least! My son is attending his very first AWANA meeting tonight...... I'm so excited.. I SOOOOOOOOOOOO hope he does well. I went to Awana's as a kid and loved it....... as a matter of fact its where I broke off my front tooth... (which to this day is covered by a half fake tooth and why I can NEVER whiten my teeth)

GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pam & Judy: I love the new avatars! Denise: CONGRATS Nana!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All babies are blessings ESPECIALLY the unplanned ones! :confused: Kat: That is horrible about the accident... sad sad sad Laura: I may have to try those bullets TracyK: You are so funny........ I agree one of my thighs would equal her gut! She is not fat... just more curvy than her pre baby self. She looked like she didn't want to be there in the least. I watched Biggest Loser last night........ (I am completely addicted to the show) the Black team factor is an AWESOME twist! I was bawling my head off when those final 6 were not picked... boy oh boy... they really went from gut wrenching sadness to over the top joy... I can NOT believe the smallest girl (Joy) I think lost 20 lbs in one week!!!!!!!!!! OK... now for my weird thing............. I just had a period two weeks ago and yesterday I started again........ I have PCOS and my history is weird periods... but I have been regular as clockwork for a long long time..... So I'm thinking... maybe this latest whooosh of fat is releasing some stored estrogen in my fat cells..... but it is still weird. I have been HORRIBLE on water.... today is my day to drink water...... I didn't even have ONE sip of water yesterday. I know to flush this fat out I must drink water.... oh btw... Jenn I don't think you are drinking too much water.. and congrats on your doc not recognizing you! I hope everyone has a great day! WWJD

GOOD MORNING!!!!!!! I had a seminar all day yesterday so I couldn't pop in. WELCOME BACK JUDY! Pam: OMG.. you have GOT to change your avatar!!!!!!!! YOU ARE FREAKING BEAUTIFUL! I will go shrink it down for you in a sec. I saw 220.8 on Sunday, but then had a bad food day of graizing and bounced back up... but I'm HOPING to see the teens by the end of the week. I will go mess with Pams pic and be back.

Good evening Violets! Welcome back Nena! I am currently boiling eggs for deviled eggs tomorrow and putting my extremely cranky 4 year old in the tub.. bribed with EXTRA pirate bubbles! I can hear him now sliding back and forth sloshing water.. so this needs to be quick! I have been HORRIBLE on the water.... I'm just not very hungry or thirsty.. Weird. I hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend!

What do you tell people at work
I took two PTO days. Had surgery on Thursday and was back at work the following Monday (desk job) People have begun to comment on my losses... but they've seen me go up and down the scale before...... This is how a conversation earlier this week went: Hey Trace... I see your losing weight again. Doing your low carb AGAIN? Me "Yup!" another day: in the break room... coworker: "What the heck are you eating with????" me: "fancy shrimp fork" everyone laughed I said it is a "TECHNIQUE I'm trying to eat slower and smaller bites" another day: coworker: "Your losing weight again aren't you?" me: "Yeah, I'm losing this fat ONE MORE TIME and thats IT!!!!!" One person at work knows and that's it.

I Hope To Give It One More Shot
Good luck! One thing you might think about is getting help with your disorder before starting the refill process.. so that you change your definition of what "normal" food is.
