    Good Morning Pepper's,
    Not showing a loss or gain, still feeling bloated from auntie flow visiting so that could be why no loss is showing. Weight still 197. This week end I am going to update measurements and start doing my 30 day shred again. This is not going to discourage me. I plan on walking on my lunch.

    Hope everyone did better than me. Happy weighing :drinker:

    hi fellow pepper's...

    well, I am reporting a gain this week. up 3.8 lbs, which has me in the 200's again. I guess I don't know how to do this any more. I am very down....going thru this process over and over. keeping the wt off is hard and a constant struggle. I definitely need to figure things out and get past some of my own demons, and issues w/dh. my mind and body are not connected as of late. I mean seriously, I have not exercised consistently since last Fall. it's no wonder I have gained. I should not be surprised with these results. I truly need to find a balance I can live with. I don't think it is fair to you all that I be here while I am feeling so negative....so time away from MFP may be what I need until I can think clearly again.....

    take care team :heart:

    Kelly, if you really feel you need to leave for a while do what you have too.
    You are very encourging to me and all of the Pepper's. We are also here for you maybe we can help you figure this out. I had to stop eating any junk food and forced myself to go for a walk to get started and I have not had a loss for a long time as well. Please dont give into it. You can do this One day at a time. Please think about it. :heart: :flowerforyou:


    :drinker: Proud of all of the Pepper's, no matter what life sends us we will work through it and sticking together helps me so much.

    Will check back soon. :bigsmile:

    This weekend wasn't the best for food choices but awesome in being with friends.

    Friday night was a party at a friends house. Made some frequent choices with cocktails. Had a great time with friends. Saturday night was a school reunion. Had lesser amount of cocktails but did eat a slider platter & fries. Had a great time seeing girls I went to high school with.
    Sunday was a Girl Scout recognition luncheon -- I did have a slice of cake & ice cream. Had a great time presenting Girl Scouts their high level awards. But I brought leftover cake home (for the family of course). Well, my oldest annoyed me and by golly I reached for the cake. And damn chocolate discs used to make chocolate candy molds. Note to self - don't buy the chocolate discs half price after the holiday -- don't need it even if the bag has a really cheap price.

    Later Sunday evening I watched two shows on super morbid obese people. That made me get off the bed and walk the dog. I did make a topic on one of these shows.

    This week I have something going on every night of the week. So no curves. That means I really need to do the lunch time walks & work fitness time.

    Here's wishing all a good week!

    Good Morning Pepper's,
    I did well over week end. I walked for about 50 mins with mom and did not eat bad too. Took Sunday off of exercise was so sore could hardly move. Back to walk on lunch today. This is a very short work week for me I am only working today and tomorrow, then out until Tuesday next week. Jumping back into healthy can be very painful :laugh:


    Hope everyone had a great week end.


    Check back later :bigsmile:

    Since my other half thought it would be a great idea to go to the Chinese buffet (since I didn't pay or cook - it actually was).

    I had left my cell phone at home so I couldn't add my food to MFP as I was eating... mistake. Even though I wrote down all I ate, if I had known a calorie content of an item or two, I would have had smaller or no portions.

    So despite walking the dog for 1 hour, doing a 1.5 mile jog, push-ups and sit ups I am over in my calorie count.. So I am off to walk one more mile. I am hoping by walking 3 miles total, I will burn the 57 calories I am over in my daily limit.

    And people wonder why I have no clue what night time tv shows are.

    Good Morning Pepper's,
    Well I figured I would change my goals and it gave me 250 less calories. so for the last couple of days i have been going over by a couple of hundred. I am trying to work on lowering the amount of calories and figured I might go over readjusting. I will try tomorrow to start my 30 day shred again. I really want this but am still having trouble controling myself. I'll get there.

    Hope everyone is doing well. It is going to be very hot today so I think I will take a short walk on my lunch and get off the bus a few stops before and walk the rest of the way (it should be a little cooler by then).

    Have a great day will check back later. :bigsmile:

    Hi Angie -- Good to hear from you! How's your older son accepting the baby?

    Well ladies I will admit, yesterday was good, I was under calorie count, feeling good about myself... until approx 930pm. I came home from grocery store and found my kids left bikes outside, dishes on the love seat, dinner dishes on the table, food leftover from dinner on the stove, mass of dishes in the sink (FYI no dishwasher), shoes and clothes int the living room. I was furious.

    Dave, bless his heart, allowed me to vent. He told me how he kept telling the kids to clean up but they didn't listen. (That was quite obvious). My middle dau is usually good natured. Last night she flat refused to assist in clean-up efforts. Thought GLEE was more important.

    I reached for the 1 container of ice cream I purchased. Had 1 serving then another. Thought it's ok, 1 cup of ice cream is keeping me in my calorie count. no biggie... then my dau stil kept her refusal to do household chores up. I reached for the chocolate melts (used in making candy molds). Blew my calorie count... completely off by probably 400-600 calories.

    SIgh.... new day... try again... daughter still in a funk... trying not to let food be my comfort.

    Hello my dearest wt loss buddies. I have really been missing you all…..Thank you for your caring messages, they truly touch me. You are the best pepper’s around…I would not be back here if it wasn’t for all the support and concern from you ladies….. I love each and every one of you. :heart:

    I have been trying extra hard the past few days to get motivated again….have spent some time reflecting and getting recharged… I am determined to find the excitement I always feel when first starting…over. Getting back on track. Time and time again I have done this, & failed. I can’t believe that after all these years, all this time, all the things I ‘know’ how to DO, I am still trying to get control of my wt. I am so mad at myself & I am embarrassed. Thought I had found that formula for me…that ‘healthy’ lifestyle? Yup, still learning, still trying to change…but most of all, to ‘live’ that change. Things are not balanced at all for me…

    Starting late last Fall, I gradually was not making myself a priority, nor was I being honest with myself. I was thinking, and not doing. I don’t know…I may not have a ‘wt’ problem, but a ‘self-care’ problem that manifests through wt (gain). I guess that no ‘self-care’ means that I am not loving my ‘own-self.’ When I DO care about myself, and make better choices, no doubt, I am moving towards the life I want & then all seems great in my world. I have learned my over wt self does not stand before me craving food, she’s craving love, respect, & care.

    So, my food addiction is still ongoing…and I eat for any feelings or no feelings at all. That’s right, I am stuffing myself when I am not hungry, or even so, when I am so full & miserable, I don’t stop eating. Food is my DRUG. And my vow is to change that, this, what ever it is. It is what I need to figure out. I need to stay fully conscious & aware of every bite, and seriously need to be focused on being connected in every area of my life. Right Now. I want my body to be strong, healthy, & fit. To be ‘itself’. Each day I want to embrace it and be grateful for what it has given me.

    I’m not going to give up and ‘fat’ is not going to win. I’m going to try harder to give myself love…to care for myself so that I can be healthy, well, & whole. I long to get back to myself, ‘me’. I need to be accountable and write down my goals, to look at them frequently and daily ask myself “did I get it right today?”

    It is time for me to take the reins back….beginning this moment.

Everything that you said hit true to my heart as well..there is an addiction in me, and I LOVE food there is nothing wrong with that....BUT there has to be a boundary between LOVE and OVERindulge for me! I have to still work on it and am not happy with my food choices the end of this night...;(

    Hey all!!
    Wow it seems like two steps forward and two steps back. Went to the gym Monday night and boy did it feel great!! Was so proud of myself! Then woke up Tuesday early morning with a nasty cold:cry: Stayed in bed all day, thank god for dear Mom brought me soup and it was great. Started feeling a little better yesterday but still stayed home didnt want to get anyone at work sick. Then my nephew came over and took my computer away:sad: :sad: :sad: He is trying to upgrade it and clean it up for me so I will be without for a couple of days :grumble:
    I will try to write while I am at work.

    Kelly - glad to see you back. I am in the same boat as you.... eat for any feelings. Is there a support group "Hi, I'm Barb, and I'm an foodalcholic." Cuz, I certainly could use one. I'll do one good healthy day then BAM, reaching for the sweets. Soo damn frustrating. Of course my custody issues is not helping any. Pushing my emotions all over the place and then well, you can guess what happens next.

    Hey Miss V -- my Girl Scout co-leader & daughter are doing a canoe for relay in June. Amazing how many relays are out there. I wanted to participate w/my daughter but we have counseling scheduled for 9am next day.... don't think up all night paddling a canoe will be a good idea prior to counseling. I'm going to talk to co-leader, perhaps we can canoe for a few hours or at least leave at 11pm.

    Jacque - I was home sick yesterday too. Just wasn't feeling myself. Unfortunately, my two girls ended up out of school for different reasons. No rest for me.

    I'm off Friday & Monday. We have a busy weekend due to Girl Scout/Cub Scout activities.

    Take care.

    afternoon team...

    had to go to the city today and pick up contact lenses for both sons...got a few groceries. dh is leaving for Canada tomorrow. it is also our last day of school here. YAY! I am not driving the bus this summer, so that will be new for me. I am so excited about that b/c I have driven for many, many summers. I say no better time than to work on myself and get some healthy habits created! Gonna try real hard and plan my meals and get my exercise done early in the day. I think that is the only way it will work for me.

    Barb ~ I have seen those shows... sometimes it is hard to watch and sad...but it does motivate me. Don't ya just hate this roller coaster ride of emotions? C'mon stop it, NOW! I feel like I am 2 different people? the healthy one and the I don't give a damn one? Let's see, who am I today?? Your reunion weekend sounded like a good time! Very good for the heart and soul!

    Jacque ~ hope you get to feeling better soon. take it easy, drink lots of fluids and rest that cold away. when is your dd's grad? thinking of you and sending vibes your way to get thru it!! we're here...day or nite! {{{{hugs}}}}

    Vita ~ we have a relay for life next Saturday too. I am going to a pug meetup that day, so can't participate. but I am becoming more and more interested in doing a 5K. it's just like, dang, I want to do one before I turn 45. SO, I best be getting busy!! I think if I start now, I should be ready by Fall? A goal. ok, I'm gonna do it!

    HI CINDY~~ hope all is ok with you....did you start the shred up again? I want to get to that point where I feel I can do that without killing myself. ahhhh, to be trim and tone!

    Angie ~ thinkin of you and your little guy.....oh the smell of newborn skin...

    hello to everyone else out there....keep on keepin on! stop in and say hi. thinkin of you and missin you!

    have a great day ladies!!
