Sorry for the potty mouth but that is how I feel right now! I am eating so bad since my husband left that I am afraid I will start gaining like nobody's business. I'm eating out way too much and picking the wrong things. I just ate a whopper jr w/cheese, fries, and a sweet tea! I can't continue on this path of distruction. My year will be here at the end of June and I want to be proud of this year but if I keep going on this track I wont be.

Please ladies help me out here. Remind me of how I am suppose to eat. What type of things I need to eat and how much Protein. It has left my brain with all this craziness going on!!!! :help:

I'd rather give you a big slow HUG than swift kick in the tushy Maybe we can prop each other up?

Between physical pain from the pinched nerve and insurance denial, I haven't been coping too well myself. Today is a new day, and I started journaling what I'm eating. I'm using www.fitday.com so I know the quality of my food too. I'm taking it one meal and one day at a time, and reminding myself that eating myself stupid isn't the answer. I'm trying to make a point of thinking about what I'm eating and why I'm eating it. If I'm not hungry, I'm going to try to refrain from eating at all. If I cannot refrian, I'm going to try to grab something very light and healthy, like fruit.

I hope this helps?

Hang in there lady, and God bless you!

Come on now bondgirl we all go through that. Get ta posting your meals, counting your calories, meal planning and moving your body....

No kick just a big "HUG" Hang in there time will heal your heart.As for being proud welllllll Girl hold that head up and walk proudly for all the success you have accomplished thus far.Forget about the backward slide and look forward to a successful tomorrow.Now no more fries and sweet tea unless it's splenda sweetened.How about a grilled turkey burger and lowfat cheese to go?

Ohhhh is this where I put in my order....Valentinebaby I would like a bbq turkey wings, broccoli salad and roasted onions and potatoes.:hungry:

LOL!!!! Sure but umm who's doing the cooking?

Thanks for turning me on to FitDay...this is great!!!!!!!!!! Good luck, my thoughts will be with you!

Thank you ladies! I appreciate all the advice. Thanks for calling me today Karen. I know things were busy and hopefully we can talk more soon. I went grocery shopping today and bought a bunch of good things for me to eat. So I will keep you all posted. Thanks again!

I'm yogurt and tofu happy right now. I figured out that I could eat 10 bryers light or yoplait lights for just 1000 calories, and get all my protien in. All while staying under 20 grams of fat! LOL No i'm not doing the yogurt diet LOL, but I have been eating more yogurt, sometimes three times in a day. I'm back to my lowest band weight, and I hope to move my ticker along.

Angie I know you can do this, you have been doing so great. Just get back on track by measuring and writing everything down. If you are writing it down its alot harder justifying eating something that isnt' going to help us meet our goals. I'm not going to kick either....big hugs your way. Hang in there girl, and let me know if you want to meet for a fruit parfait one day (I'm addicted, i know).

Bwuhahahahahahaha....

Telly shines her boot!

Poohbear, I hope you aren't like the way I used to be....and that's going grocery shopping and getting the RIGHT kinds of foods and then ordering in pizza

Here ya go....

I love that cartoon! That is so funny. Thanks guys!!!!:clap2:

So... have all the hugs and kicks helped? How ya doing Angie?

Hey, I just realised, you dont need a kick in the butt, you need a day of fun and self indugence non food style. I call for a FACIAL!!!!!

I am doing pretty ok? I am trying to watch what I eat and get my Protein in. It has been hard. I want to see the scale move again and it just keeps telling me 176! I just wont budge. I need to get out and exercise as well. So I need to get crackin. I had to cancel my YMCA membership because I need to pinch pennies here. So I will have to get out in the neighborhood and walk walk walk! Thanks for checking up on me. And a facial sure sounds wonderful. :eekB:

Bondgirl, wanna a job ....part time...I get free membership for working at the Y. I know the steel creek Y is hireing subs...but that would get you a charlotte membership. You could ask at your y if they are hireing. I get free day care while working and the new law (might be nc) says I can only work for 2.5 hours while my kids are in day care...so yah shorter shifts and still a free membership. Plus there is pathways. It's based not only on income but expenditures. I know my y is looking for more child care folks that can work like 10:30-1:00 shifts occassionally.
