Did you ever watch "Rules of Engagement" where David Spade's character PRETENDS to work... That is how I feel today.1

I weighed myself today and 202! Two more pounds to be at 200 & eventually under! I've been eating around 1500-1700 (some weeks I allow myself a cheat indulgence & then work it into my overall week calories). Usually it's a pint of ice cream, pizza, or another kind of dessert. Eventually I'm going to stop doing the cheat indulgences & just eat normally since I don't want to start another binge/restrict cycle, but so far this plan is working out for me.
I think my first goal weight will be 170 & then my UGW will be 160. If I feel like I still want to lose a little more weight I'll go down to 155. The only thing I'm not ready for is the onslaught of comments about my weight like I received last time considering I work with the public. I think this time I'm going to take the approach of just saying thank you & not saying anything else. If they ask how I did it I'll just say MFP & learning tips from the site.
I really do think perhaps I was too thin the first time I lost weight since I went from 300-150 & could have had at least 10-15 pounds of loose skin.5 -

I think that's a good plan, Kelly. Glad it seems to be working so far for you. Good luck reaching your goals.1 -
I stayed home from work today and my only goal is naps! LOL. And maybe some time in the hot tub.
My meet didn’t go as well as I’d hoped. I had a PR on squats, 253.3 lbs, but was lower than I wanted on both bench and deadlift. Ultimately though, I placed 7th. In the nation!!! For my age/weight. Can’t be upset about that.
It could have been at least fourth, if I would have hit my expected bench and deadlift. Oh well!
Dessert for dinner as my after-meet treat! A cookie baked in a molcajete bowl with toffee bits, white chocolate, pretzel bites and sea salt, topped with ice cream. And a margarita!

Side note: I was told at the beginning of the year when I got back from a 4 DAY VACATION, that I wasn't "allowed" to take time off in between Christmas and New Years anymore! My direct manager actually told me that I could request it, but she wouldn't approve it! I was telling Mike last night that there are no other employees that aren't allowed to take time off during that time.
And they'll wonder why I quit!0 -

Managers seem to find the employees that are actually willing to work hard and then proceed to suck the life out of them! My husband has had the same issue with having his vacation time refused even as half his department are running off for vacation one by one.

That's so true, Susie! I used to LOVE my job! 11 years later, that is no longer the case. I dread coming here every day and I just work for the weekends and those few and far between days off! I cannot wait for Rachael to graduate so I can get out of here.
A large (petty/cynical) part of me wants to give them a big middle finger as I leave, but then the more levelheaded/Christian in me wants to just thank them for employing me the last 12+ years and part of good terms. It is yet to be determined who will win the battle.4 -
You're awesome, Tami! Dessert looks good!
That's super lame, Mo. Sorry!0 -
Confession: I eat like crap when my dad is in the hospital. Also, I feel guilty being at work even though there is patient care technician in the room with him to keep him from getting up. Logically, it makes more sense for me not to be there until he's not ICU anymore and there's no one with him.5

I am right there with you in terms of how close I am to getting under 200, for the hundreth time!!! We can do this!!5 -

Ditto! The temperature has noticeably dropped in the last 3-4 days and now I don't want the salads, I want the warmer foods. I need to get my soup maker out.3 -

Soup is truly the answer to winter dieting.2 -

Speaking of soup. I don't get satisfied eating soup. I HAVE to have a sandwich or something else with it. Regardless how "hearty" it is. I get full more or less, I just don't stay full for very long.
Anyone else like that too?1 -

Depends on the soup. A hearty chili or potato soup can fill me up, but veggie soup doesn't get the job done.3 -

-raises hand-
I definitely can't just do soup on it's own, it doesn't have any staying power for me. Sometimes I think it's partly mental, since I feel the need to chew my food and without the chewing, my mind feels like the meal hasn't concluded!

That's so funny that you mention the chewing part. Sometimes, I don't crave specific foods necessarily, just the action of chewing I will crave! I am glad I'm not the only weirdo out there.
