I think I may have a milk allergy. I have been taking the meds for the gastritis issues and it seems to have helped with things like Tomato and coffee, but I have been having a miserable time with yogurt....my all time favortie post band Breakfast. It burns like heck, then my throat feel all congested. I had to stop ice-cream a while back because of the burning and then a lot of mucous after eating it.

I always just blamed it on the gastritis. Now I am beginning to wonder if I don't have a couple of things going on at the same time. I have an appt on Friday and will bring it up. From what I have been reading I would not be surprised if this is my problem. It will make life a bit tricky though. I don't like the idea of taking in a ton of soy Protein and whey is so easy to use. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I will miss my Greek yogurt!

Whatever you want to call it, it sounds damn unpleasant! I'm glad you have survived...

Things continue to go OK here. I wish I had a scales - I seem to be doing well - I'm now on a tighter belt loop than I was when I started my backslide, although I can't believe I've lost that much weight since I've been here.

Hey Fenton -- you're an internet savvy guy right? Order a digital scale off the internet somewhere and have it shipped to your Paris place and keep one there for when you spend long periods there. Just don't get on everyday... to discouraging to some of us -- maybe 1-2x a week is enough to keep you accountable.

Thanks for the help out there and I came up with this slogan to keep me on track and trucking along losing weight in the new year.

Sorry, but I guess the image was too big on my original post and didn't actually upload so let me try again.

Ach, a good idea, but I think the consistency that comes from always weighing on the same scales is the way to go.

Today is going to be a bad day. I'm getting sick, sore of throat, have already downed a hot chocolate and some ice cream. And the bloody French pharmacies! I have just consumed an "ampoule" of zinc solution - no handy chewable tab here, a damn glass tube that had to be broken open and the liquid swallowed. What bunk!

I'm just glad they didn't give me something that had to go where God and nature didn't intend for things to go in...

Yikes! That doesn't sound good!!!! LOL!!

I have been a very, very ,very bad girl... I have absolutely no restriction, and am out of control!!!! OMG!!! I am afraid to get on the scale!!!!

The holiday family drama has begun!!! I guess you never completely have bad coping skills under control all of the time. Maybe I need to switch to alcohol instead of food!!!! My family is NUTZ!!!! I don't know if I can do it!!!! (I won't bore you with pages and pages of insanity... just know its BAD!!!)

Next year, maybe I'll just leave town!!!!!

Family drama is the worst.....I've pretty much stepped away from most of mine because of that.

Maybe switch to xanax, no calories!

I am right there with you Tess on the drama! Mine is more Friends and Work drama...but major Darma!

10 days until xmas... Shopping is done, but no baking for me.

Shopped 'ti I dropped on Saturday, my feet were killing me.

Still some issues with eating too fast..when will I learn. I am afraid to get on the scale.. last time I had gained 2#..

Hope everyone feels bewtter. There is a nasty repiratory bug floating around in the office here...:confused_smile:

[Desdemona 48]

Tess---hang in there!! This is a hard time of year. Let's hang in and help each other get through.

Lynn---a bug? I've got SUCH a head cold right now and it just won't quit. Started with blocked ears for a few days. Does that sound like what is going around in your office?

[Fenton 3]

TESS! Get back on that scale right now! Don't allow that family drama to derail you!

Chop chop!

Hi all!

I've been quite busy this past week. Much Merry Making this last weekend. I'm trying to beat a cold now. Has anyone used a neti pot? This thing is great! Jonathan I use the zinc that goes in the nose.

I will count myself lucky if I don't gain this holiday season.

I've walked by it a few times... just don't want to do it! UGH!

I'm trying to figure out what body part I can have surgically removed to equal my weight gain so I can break even!!!!!! LOL!

Do you smoke it? LOL!
