@SLIMn2016 I tend to drink it during a fast, keeps your electrolytes up without all the crap...glad it helps you with your leg cramps! I'm trying to get my husband to do it, he gets leg cramps at night and nothing else helps him, but he says that's disgusting and he isn't willing to try it...his loss lol.
WHAT?! 🤨Ok let me talk to that man---LOL😂🤣 He's married to a wealth of weight lifting knowledge--- JUST LISTEN & DRINK IT DUDE!!! 😝😜 It helps me immediately---it works like instantly too, it's ✨🎩🥒MAGIC✨💫😉👍0 -
So after my positive day of losing 58lbs since July. The enemy really tried to bring me down today so went to get a mani & pedi today and was humiliated in the salon they refuse to service me cause of my weight....
That is outrageous.... they most definitely should have accommodated you for a manicure and pedicure... customer service is so horrible in those places though--- I have walked out of many salons for having ridiculous wait times, etc.
You did the best thing for yourself today by not letting bad vibes from others effect your determination and progress👏👏😇---congrats on choosing the positive path ---AND 58 lbs lost🙌 is AAAAAWESOME!!!! Congrats Gloria!!1 -

I need to channel the diligence and will power from you all--- like Gloria, Beth, Mary.... to name a few--- always on task with healthy, light menu choices👌🏻😉.... on to Thursday and will try harder to control myself😣

So after my positive day of losing 58lbs since July. The enemy really tried to bring me down today so went to get a mani & pedi today and was humiliated in the salon they refuse to service me cause of my weight. This was disappointing but it was the way they handled that upset me the most. Instead of pulling me to aside, they were talking about me loudly in there language and had me sitting there for over an hour and then said very loud that I wouldn't fit and you know teenagers!!😡 I've been bigger and was able to get my nails done and now as a reward to myself these people try to dump on me??? But still staying positive I did not stoop to their level but will be filing a discrimination complaint. My NSV for today is usually this would cause me to binge but I didn't 👍🏾had my little cucumbers, celery and carrots for lunch, snack and dinner🥕🥒 and now I'm having my herbal ice tea with honey and lemon juice. Very proud of myself but still did not get my mani and pedi😥
TOMORROW'S ANOTHER DAY STILL STAYING POSITIVE
Hi Gloria
First of all, I think it’s amazing that you’ve lost 58lbs so far, that’s definitely something to be proud of. I’m sorry to hear that you were treated in such a disrespectful way today, there is NO place for that kind of behaviour. I know that those kind of hurtful comments can sometimes discourage people but I hope you continue to stay positive because you are doing amazing! Tomorrow is a new day. I hope you get to treat yourself to something nice tomorrow. Stay strong 🌟 🤗

I received a couple of compliments from family I hadn’t see in a while. They noticed that I have “slimmed down” and that was nice to hear. Makes me feel like I’m doing something right 💪😊3 -

Holy cr@p this makes me SO MAD and breaks my heart!! I am so sorry you had to endure this kind of disrespect, especially in a moment of celebration.
I too know this pain. At my highest weight I was invisible and treated poorly by strangers. I remember going into a clothing store, and the sales lady immediately ran over and said "There's nothing in here that will fit you. We don't carry your size". She seemed in a hurry to get me out of there and didn't even consider I could be looking for a gift? Or for accessories? Or for inspiration? Or for whatever flippin reason I want?? When I replied "oh that's okay, I'm just looking", she stepped in my way and blocked me from walking into the store. She said "I'm sorry but I can't let you try anything on. You'll stretch out the fabric."
At that point I just walked out... and then cried in my car the whole way home. W.T.F!!
People can be so amazing and beautiful and wonderful and generous and awesome. They can also be pretty darn awful sometimes, too.
SO MUCH LOVE TO YOU GLORIA!!6 -

Urgh I’m so sorry for you both, things like that are awful and dehumanising. Neither of you should have had to go through that.
It happened to me once too at a clothes shop where the sales assistant came over and asked me to leave because nothing was my size. I looked her dead in the eye and said “sorry I don’t think I can fit through the door again, I’m just too FAT but if you want to get your manager I’ll talk it out with them”. They let me browse after that.

Thanks for the encouragement. Oh yes I will continue to be strong and focus on my progress. Today will be a better day. What sucks is this was my first outing for the year. Unfortunately today is my rest day and don't know if I'll be getting my nails done anytime soon I'll just wait till I hit that 75lbs markRiver_Goddess wrote: »The enemy really tried to bring me down today so went to get a mani & pedi today

That happen before too. I remember way back when I first lost weight I revisited the store again and said "REMEMBER ME you kick me out for being to big, well look at me now but you lost this business bye" I remembered the look on her face but it felt so good. I might just do that to them as well maybe. . .?

Wow don't you hate when you plan & prep and the power goes out do there goes your day. That happened to me in Denver Co I was there for a week at the resort for my Master's degree graduation and my sister just left as she only stayed 3 days but had prep 5 days worth a food and the power went out that day. I wound up ordering in. So yes these things happen but just get back on the wagon.
I love how you turned the tables on them. I was too emotional and didn't want them to know they upset me to the point of tears so I just kindly text my cousin and when she finally got there she let them have it of course they try to cover it up and say we weren't rude but she wasn't having it. Mind you that was her nail salon that I travelled all the way from the Bronx to Brooklyn for but we still had a good time afterwards.

- Comments: Did not have time for lunch because of work. I did not want to binge to make up for it so I left the day with 1200 calories remaining. (2200 calories short of maintaining weight). I will need to find some healthy snacks to keep at work for when I do not have time for lunch. The short term weight loss is nice but it will hinder my future results.

Ok so I must confess I tried to sabotage myself last night.
After I completed my diary I ate a bunch of jelly beans and some chips. Don’t think I went much over calories since I had plenty left but I was way over on sugar and carbs. Sigh. My TOM is approaching but that’s not an excuse cause I just have to work harder to control myself! I’m not one for throwing stuff away or restricting what’s in the house, I rely on my willpower to keep me in check BUT those jelly beans are now in the trash!!
We are the master of our own will! Let’s stay powerful!!4 -
