Hey everyone!!! What's happening???

I think I eat too many carbs also---I eat a couple of 100 calorie packs a day. By the time I eat them, I don't want dinner. I don't really know the carb intake because I haven't taken the time to read the package.

Breakfast--dannon strawberry and banana smoothie

lunch-4 slices of deli meat with ff cream cheese

snack--mint chocolate rice cakes (90 cal) & 2 beef jerkey nuggets

dinner--not hungry yet...so undetermined

lots of crystal light throughout the day.

today isn't the best example because I had dinner out tonight as a work function and I ate out for Breakfast and lunch (one stop in the morning at Jack in the box), but here it is:

B - ham and bacon from a sandwich, a couple of bites of egg

L - spicy popcorn chicken bites x 5 with honey mustard

D - trout dip (2 tbs), 5 oz filet with bleu cheese, mashed potatoes ( 3 tbs), plus some of hubby's sea bass- Dessert - blondie with chocolate chips and ice cream - I ate about 1/4 of the blondie and probably 2 tbs of the ice cream - I have no clue about calories.

S - none

I didn't have much Water today, I did have tea with dinner.

I was so happy to be able to eat! I ate more than I have in a week.

typical for me is - oatmeal or deli meat for breakfast, deli meat and crackers for lunch, a meat for dinner (tilapia or chicken), snack sunflower seeds or other nuts, chocolate chips if I need chocolate. I try to avoid carbs, but am far off some days.

My primary care is sending me to a GYN, he didn't find anything that stood out in my labs, so he doesn't know what to do next with my PCOS. He said I have to take a folic acid supplement though, my childrens chewables don't have it and I never eat anything green leafy, so one more pill for me!

sorry so long!

NO ONE can yell at me. Lol. I know I"m not getting Protein in on a regular basis. I struggle with getting enough Fiber. I wishthey made a fiber/protein bar!!! Ahh that would be heaven!!

Oh really? No one can yell at you? You get exactly ONE of those from the protein queen! LOL

Fiber/Protein Bar = Kashi = Crappy Taste (But it DOES exist!)

I'm just proud of you to see that SUBWAY is not listed on your menu today! Good girl! (Yes, I got your text, doll! :rolleyes2:)

rhonda where do you get the greek yogurt? I have been tight all week and I am wondering if I pre TOM. I will keep an eye on it to see if it relates like others have said. I am at 8.5cm in a 10cm band. I think I am done for a while.

I had an awful day eating bad stuff. I was so excited in the morning when I got on the scale at 191, so close to going under 190, then I got pissed off at my DH about my son and came home and ate. Not good here is what my day yesterday went:

b: 2 bell cheese

L: potato Soup from Wawa/ few pretzels

D: 3 stuffed shells( went down good tonight, but not the night before)

coffee/water/diet tea

snack: dirty martini and salsa/chips! does it matter that they were wheat chips! I then had a glass of wine and a light icecream bar.

went to bed at 9 mad at myself!!! today is another day, I need to stop the emotional eating.

Awww, don't beat yourself up Janine! I emotional eat when I'm too tight to enjoy food too. It's not like we're supposed to give up our love of food, right? we're just supposed to eat less. My name is Rhonda and I'm a FOODIE! Oh gee, I promised myself I would stop giving unwanted advice!

Now you got me wanting a dirty martini....but I have stopped drinking *anything since March (liquid calories!).

I was thinking today how long it's taking me to lose weight and what a f-up I am....compared to everyone who posts anyway. I have to be the biggest non-loser. I'm sure I have absolutely no credibility with anyone...why would I? I'm ashamed of myself. Then I got to thinking.....hmmmm....maybe there's other people who got their surgery the same time that are struggling like me. Maybe they just don't post. HA!! Double HA!!

I needed to make myself feel a little bit better so I got my nails done. My cuticles are so ragged that they bleed, and my nails have been curling back on themselves, they are so weak, so I got acrylics. I got them short and square and I can still text and type.

How's everyone else today? What are you eating?

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Rhonda! HUGS!!

I SWEAR the only reason I've lost 103 is cause I had over 230 to lose from the start!! Lol, The more you have to lose the faster it comes off... in the BEGINING! Right now I"m barely losing at all. I still have huge addiction to chocolate. I totally don't eat the right stuff, cause I"d be full on 3 bites! So I eat chocolate and Cereal bars that I know I can finish... Like, I seriously can't finish a 4oz fiber yogurt... but I can eat an entire bowl of cereal... I can eat a Fiber One Bar. I can eat ice cream (but I"m abstaining from it until my birthday in TWO weeks.)

And you are so right about the others who don't post! THey've even come on to say that they just aren't losing. I wish they'd come back. We all need support. Not ONE of us has had an 'easy' time. We all struggle with our own demons and are fighting tooth and nail to get thin and healthy.

Hang in there. Keep reading and posting.

Sometimes a PB for me is just the slime that builds up when the food is taking it's sweet time going down, so does that count as a "PB" or am I a super expectorator? LOL :::Beauty and the Beast's Gaston singing "I'm especially good at ex-pec-tor-a-ting!!!!!" playing in my head!::::: :(

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
