I got stuck without dinner at a meeting from 4-8 with a 15 minute break and Wendy's nearby :( :( I ate bad foods today. Made bad choices. A 14 hour work day is just more than I can plan for :( Then WI is tempting me with my favorite candy, which I happen to have a stash of. No excuses, I made bad choices.



Tomorrow will be better. I must eat breakfast!!!!!!

(((((Lilith))))) .... hope you enjoyed the time off and will be a healthier chooser tomorrow .... that's the good thing, sometimes we have a bad day ... heaven knows I've spent my lifetime in the bad eating choices arena with only very small spaces of time when my choices have been healthier, but there's the rest of my life ahead of me and I'm trying to do better with the rest then I did with everything prior!! :) That's not to say I'm not aware that there are going to be days when the choices aren't as healthy ... for today, I made it through, still on the high side of my calorie limits, but within them ... I'm always like this in the week or so before my visit into the "hut" :)

Lifetime habits, especially the ones that are less-than-optimal for us, are difficult to break. The simple fact that you, fzzy, Lil, maddy, and the rest of us Pixies are working so diligently to change them is cause for celebration alone. Progress is the proverbial icing on the cake!

Of course, it's Friday, which means it's weigh-in day for me. I was pleasantly surprised to see another 3 lbs. lost for this week, 10.5 since I began WW on 12-30-05. Doesn't sound like a whole lot, of course, but it's amazing the difference in attitude it's given me. I figure I'll be through my remaining clothes by maybe St. Patrick's Day and have to go shopping for new (smaller) ones. :)

Best of luck to everyone today...hang in there!

My weigh ins are Mondays and overall it's going well. I am on target for a goal I set but my weight loss is very slow, 1-1.5 pounds a week. I ate a banana for breakfast and feel more in control after a night of going to bed early.

Great job ladies ... even when we falter on occassion, you recognize and are being truthful enough to yourself to admit it... that's an accomplishment in itself.

I must agree with IAKG, I'm coming up on a weigh in and the 10 lb mark - it's not a lot when I look at how much further I need to go. But knowing I am doing something positive for me has made a dent in my attitude.

I did the grocery trip last night and ended up with only one remotely bad thing in the cart - chex mix. It was on sale and I love it for a snack. Portion control is the key and so long as I can keep the portion in check I can have it as a snack when I have the points to spare. Otherwise I ended up with two bags of apples, bananas, grapes, salad mix, yogurt, cheese, smart ones, and some lean meats... all pretty healthy and keeping my kitchen stocked so I'm not tempted to run out for a high fat meal.

Excellent, excellent point! And if something is "grab & go", that helps alot too.

I know it doesn't mean much coming from some goofball on the internet, but I'm proud of you all.

me too...minus the goofball. :p

You all know I have big love for two things, Derriere's and Mt Dew. I've decided I'm cutting down on one them. For the past two days I have brought one can of Dew to work, instead of two. After my morning Dew I've been filling my water bottle for the rest of the day. I've tried doing this before and more often than not instead of going for water, I'll plunk money in the vending machine. Hopefully putting this out in the open will keep me on track.


Oh, and all you ladies can support me by helping fill the void of missing Dew by posting pics of the first love I mentioned. :D

Wellllllll...I had a minor shock a bit earlier. I am doing the Weight Watchers online, and I'd logged on to put in my points from breakfast, when I realized that the points I'm allowed per day has dropped. I knew that would happen at some point, as they want you to keep progressing as you lose weight, but I didn't expect it today! Guess the gym and I are going to be even *better* friends. :)

Great minds think alike.

Last Monday I switched to decaf. I only have one or two sodas a week, and they're decaf now too. I don't know if I feel any better, but I don't feel worse! Hey...looking at the bright side. :D

And I prefer boobs. Just sayin. :D

Damn WI... sometimes it's just scary. It's almost like we were seperated at birth and have many similarities, yet a few polar differences.
What differences, you ask?
Hair length (ducks the flying potato)
Body part preference
Nearest ocean
:p

It's that whole East Coast/West Coast thing. :D

Good luck with the Dew Dropping. Soda, coffee...none of it's good for us, and I don't know about you...but my body ain't what it used to be. :rolleyes:

Great now your av is making me crave ding dongs :D

Oh and today was horrible. The cafeteria was closed and they just made sack lunches for kids so I had to do the snack machine or nothing. I made a good choice and a bad one. Water, peanut butter crackers, and m&ms :D :D :( butt fuck they were tasty.

<----had a bad lunch day, too, but not quite the same as Lil. On Fridays "the girls" go out to lunch. We get our paychecks, run them to the bank, then treat ourselves to girl time. Today we went to just about my most favorite restaurant in this area, and I *wanted* to order something very, very good for me, but I ended up ordering what I really love. I'm over points by 3 right now, so I'm fucked for the day. Good thing I have the "extra" ones they give us each week, 'cause I'm sure as hell using them today.

But, like Lil, DAMN it was good. *sigh*
