Plus size-Super size weightloss support

I went to Hawaii May 13th of this year, first vacation ever on my "I quit smoking money" I quit Feb 2, 2006 an saved 1752 dollars!!!

way to go!!!!!!!!!

I need to make a confession. I had a rough day of binge eating and I feel disgusted. I ate for lunch one can of clam chowder, 11 Doritos,and one string cheese, but for dinner I binged worse by eating 2 cans of clam chowder, 6 chocolate chip cookies and oyster crackers and I so want to vomit. I do not know why I did it, I just did. I wanted to come here and show you guys we all have our down falls but starting now I'm starting over.

I just learned how to quote, its quite easy, Anyways everyone has bad days dont beat yourself up and tomorrow is a new day.

Christy, I don't think this is concidered "starting over". That would imply that you failed at something. You ate more than you meant to today. Okay. Tomorrow is not that far away. pledge to yourself to make better choices right now. Look at how far you have come. Our lives are not like actors in the movies, musicians with their gold records, or best selling authors. We are not only as good as our last meal or binge. The total of the act of fitness itself truly is greater than just today. Just thinking to yourself that you are "starting over" is in itself enough to make you feel defeated. Post tomorrow. I will be waiting to hear from you, darlin'.

I don't have one of those cute little counter thingys.

If you still have 500 calories left that's fine?
Don't beat yourself up over it
yeah, even after adding it all up I still have 500 more calories extra but I'm not eating anything else!:sad:

I blew my calories yesterday for the first time since joining MFP. :sad: My friends and I went to a baseball game and I just couldn't keep it together... Even though I had allowed and planned ahead for approx 1000 calories for the evening I still managed to go over. It just makes me angry because I did so well all day and even while we were at the ballpark. I resisted all the crap that I really wanted (like nachos, hotdogs, pretzels, etc.) and had 2 miller lites. Then we went out after the game and it was all downhill from there. French fries?! What was I thinking?!?! I'm sure I will be paying for this next time I go to weigh myself. :grumble:

The good news is... today is a new day! Here's to staying on track! Good luck girlies! (And guy!)

The way I see it Julie is that look at all the damage you DIDN'T do....you didn't eat any of the ballpark food and went lite on the beer:drinker: . You may have splurged after the game, but look at the control you did excercise at the ballpark.

Like you said, today's a new day......hope you have a good one!!

So I certainly qualify in this category. I started two months ago at my highest weight (380). I'm a candidate for bariatric surgery and I need to get to 322 before they will do the surgery...and they might make me go smaller than that. So we'll see.

I was smaller in high school, but I was a runner...and apparently you can't stop running six miles a day and still eat like you run six miles a day! ...My weight has piled on over the years. Creeping up on me a little at a time, with two significant jumps (65 pounds each), when birth control came into the picture after the births of my boys who are soon to be 6 and 13. Until I turned 30, I was really self conscious about my weight...it worried me, I had no self esteem. Then I met my current husband who really loves me for who I am. Who would tell me every day how beautiful I was. It was that time that I decided I didn't need to be thin to please anyone...and I didn't want to eat "nasty" food. I didn't want to subsitute the "good stuff" to save on calories...and my body shows that now

I've decided recently that I'm tired of having to shop for clothes out of catalogs...to never be able to get a good deal on some cute outfit. To worry about seats with armrests or booths in restaurants. I hate not being able to get off of the floor (and I can barely get onto it)

Anyway...I've lost 37 pounds so far (I refuse to add back the 22 pounds I gained last weekend in fluids...but I'm going to the doctor today to have it checked out). I've still got about 200 to lose.

Everyone here is so friendly and encouraging. I'm so glad I joined!

I'm a candidate for surgery also, my Dr. wants me down to 340 or lower before he will consider operating. I also have a problem with water as I have congestive heart faliure so right now I have been exersizeing and dieting for over 3 weeks and can't get the scale to budge. I fell off 2 days ago on a pity party and ate nothing but carbs. for the day. I'm back eating right now and trying to remain hopeful, I know that somewhere there has to be an answer to taking off weight and keeping it off. Next week I have an appointmen with a weight loss specialist and if I learn anything new, I'll share with all.

Anyhow I'm with you this is one of the best places to be. I think we all get in that place where we feel that no one else has the problems we do and that no one else could possibly have as much weight to lose as we do. I will pray for you all for your sucess, I'm not a spring chicken any more so I have no idea if I'll ever get to my goal, all any of us can do is keep trying one day at a time, and hope someday we will reach our goals. :flowerforyou:
