Yes! Because I want "sooth" and "nourish" myself.

I think in my case it's probably not true hunger it's just the mentality that food heals my ills.

Sorry your not feeling well.

Yep, good example of another way food has a way of filling that void of unpleasantness.

Rotten colds going around. Stay well Jane. Perhaps some lovely Soup with a dash of chili and garlic?

Yep my poor husband is sick and he had to go to work this morning

I kinda feel like my body is trying to get sick.

Well, what I did was cancel my "riding plans" and went to bed after work on Thursday. Slept forever. I didn't have a successful fast day Thursday, but I just "felt" like I needed a bit more. Good news was I ate healthy and not crazy munchy snacking type thing.

I went to work Friday, did do a short ride and then when out to a movie. I definately feel a little congested, my throat is a little sore, but my hunger seems to be in the range of normal and the scale rewarded me with another tiny drop - I am 152 this morning. Maybe I really just needed a little more since I am exercising alot.

I don't think I am going to make 150# by my plastics in 2 weeks, but that is okay, I am more focused on staying healthy as possible and getting in alot of Protein in. If I can maintain where I am at, I will be happy as a clam. My dream is to maintain as 150 as my max weight longer term. After I get over the swelling from plastics, I expect that to be attainable since I will lose about 4-5 pounds of skin. It is amazing to me that this is even possible. I really never thought i could maintain much under 200# and at times I am still floored that this can happen for me.

A friend told me that (in clothes) I don't look like I was ever overweight, that I look like a woman with a good fit figure. That amazes me (oh, the wonders of shapewear...haha) but also reminds me to be proud of how far I have come and that all things are possible with the right mindset, tools and support. This is my chance to thank ALL OF YOU for being there for me. I always thought I would look like a fat girl and I really don't anymore.

Glad your doing a bit better.

If I were sick I don't think if worry to much about a fast day either! This is life and life happens

Great news on the scale though!

I too cannot wait to be 150 (it's going to be awhile I'm sure) you are almost there. And after plastics? My word I'm sure you will be in the 140s!!
