wow faith - your life sounds like mine lately. glad you got through it and i hope by now youre on an even keel.
yesterday i overslept for work - drove all the way there worried about a meeting at 8:30 that was TODAY not TUESDAY, doh, so I had to stay later to make up my time ....was running late for an apt after work - but had to run home and get pizza dough mixed so it could rise for the potluck that WAS scheduled for Thursday but got moved to Wednesday. THEN ran to my apt missed the turn twice and had to do two U-turns to get there, and my car started beeping that it was about to run out of gas..LOL
THEN the dude went on and on during the appointment so I was late getting home, my neighbors were coming over to watch me grill the before mentioned pizza dough, but I had to stop and get gas first so I would be able to make it home...........AND THEN they had to make different plans for dinner...but still came over to watch and assist.......AND THEN it was cleaning lady day today, so last night I had to run around picking up my stuff I didn't want her trying to put away so she can do her job easier ..it was 8:30 at night I was exhausted, hot, thirsty and starving......lol....ugh. feel like my head is still spinning - today wasn't much easier - and next time I would just ask people for 3 or 4 bucks each instead of asking them to bring a topping for pizza (ok who brings four tomatoes and their food processor to work when asked to bring 4 diced tomatoes, really? LOL)...(and someone forgot the cheese, so I had to run to the store on MY half hour for lunch to get some)..........and I forgot a pizza cutter. ugh. AND THEN had to go to the lady Dr for one of 'those' visits after work AND go back to work to make up some time because the pizza prep took so long...and I had 3 meetings today so I didn't get all my work done, and as I type this the cat is fussing at me because the one can of fancy feast wasn't enough - and I just gave it to him like an hour ago..lol..
but I got all my food logged from the pot luck - not a stellar day - especially on sodium...but it could have been worse!! and it was good!! LOL
and WTG those under 300 now
and yeah!! mr buster!!
came back to add ........
guess what im enjoying for my dinner - lol ........might grab an oz of cheese and some grapes, or some nice crackers i have, too.
ate plenty today for lunch!! get to start fresh tomorrow!

...AND THEN it was cleaning lady day today, so last night I had to run around picking up my stuff I didn't want her trying to put away so she can do her job easier .
This reminds me of a friend.....he has a full dungeon in his basement, and his cleaning lady comes once a week.....one night I was chatting with him, and he kept getting up and doing stuff, when I asked what he was doing, he said he was cleaning, because the cleaning lady comes tomorrow, and he likes her, because she doesn't care about the dungeon, but God forbid she thinks he is a pig.....LOL0 -
Hey everyone! I started out at 315.5 and have had success so far. I have lost about 86 pounds since October. For some reason I can't wrap my head around that! Hoping to have lost 100 pounds by August 14th which is when I fly across the country to Oregon to visit my sister I am now able to run 20 minutes straight, when a few weeks ago running 3 minutes straight was nearly impossible. I can finally say that I am proud of the young woman I am becoming. When I get down to my goal weight, I am enlisting in the military, if it is possible for me to do so. I am hoping that I won't have too much excess skin, but seeing how my body was before I think I will have plenty of extra skin to go around. 0

I honestly don't know how I am doing since I do not have a scale at home that will work right. I will find out when I go back to the doctor in Aug I guess.
I'm eating within my calories everyday & moving more so I should be down some.
Today I'm just trying not to fall into the trap of an emotional binge. Sunday is my wedding ann. and since I'm caring for my mother in law we can't do anything. The past year has been a hard one with my husband having cancer & a long recovery I just wanted to do something to relax but it did not work out. I'm trying not to listen to the negative voices in my head saying if I was thinner or pretty then I would be worth the trouble of doing something. I have caught myself a few times today just wanting to go the store and buy sugar/carb foods because I feel sorry for myself & that is how I have always comforted myself. This time I am going to just let myself feel crappy about it and not try to bury my feelings under a cake.0 -
So far, soooo fantastic! I've lost 34lbs in the 60 days I've been here on MFP and have built a great support group of like minded people from around the world. Best thing that's happened in my life in years. Started at 315 and I'm currently at 2810

Way to go. Great work.0 -
I'm doing really well. I'm so happy that I found this website. Now that I'm down a few pounds, my hubby has become so much more supportive and understanding of my journey. The other day he inadvertently gave me something to shoot for. He wants to visit his family in Peru next June, so I need to lose what I can in order to be comfortable and avoid all the stares and talk that I had to endure last year when we went.0

Almost 30 lbs down, lifting a quarter ton in the weight room for the first time ever, and just feeling awesome!
I'm out of holes in ALL of my belts, and my favorite one is so loose I can take off my jeans without even undoing the belt.
Granted, I'm never gonna fit into any smaller jeans (not due to weight, but from leg muscle), but any progress is good progress!0
