Feel free to add me. Also in a great group if you aren't scared of title. Morbidly Obese.

Thank you all! Honestly, I drink. Its terrible. Trading one vice for another. Empty calories too! But lately I've been on a 95 calorie beer kick where even if it is just one, it is all I need to get my nerves calmed down. That and reading. I love to read. Its another form of escapism. I read almost all of Jane Austens'…

I agree with that to a certain extent. But then I always get to thinking about the weight loss surgery patients who can't eat but a half cup of food at a time and they seem to keep losing. I try to keep it between 1100-1500 a day. I have a big range so I don't beat myself up if I go up to 1500. I always go back and forth.…

Mine has always been skydiving. I am terrified of heights and the thought of bungie jumping is enough to make me hurl, but skydiving sounds so freeing and glorious. You have to be under 200 to do it so that has been my goal. I know I will be terrified come jump time but it seems so poetic to just put a big old exclamation…

Yes and no. Mine is out of pure laziness. I have never been one to sit and moisturize unless I am wearing shorts and c'mon, lets face it, I haven't been a shorts wearer in 20 years. I do my hair and make up when going out and occasionally when I have time at work. I actually DID do it today BEFORE work only because my…

Morning all! Yes, Starbucks is pretty much the devil to me. It's like an ice cream shake, they just add coffee to it sometimes, depending on what you get. I miss my Pacific Northwest coffee places. We pretty much had a drive thru coffee stand on just about every corner and I would always get skinny, sugar free, Jamaican…

Hi Frances! Good to see you in this group! I love it! So many common issues and struggles. Congrats on what you have done in a year. I can really see how hard you have worked!

Once again Karen, I love and admire your attitude! Today I choose to stop picking at my daughter and husband's foods. If you look at my diary the last couple days you will see it. Blech. This is how I started to fall off last time. Husband hurt his back yesterday and kiddo woke up sick so our berry trip is off. Boo.

Had a wonderful day. Finally getting that burst of energy I have been waiting for that comes when you start taking the weight off. I always forget, it takes 30-40lbs to get me there. Met some friends at the pool and had fun. Tomorrow we are going to a berry farm. I am so looking forward to that. My favorite fruits are…

Boo. I'm sorry. Can you make a wrap or quick salad? Me and mine are kinda into it again too. He's mad because it has been 2 weeks without you know what. Honestly, half the time I don't like him very much because he is a selfish ugh, and the last thing I want to do is please him. I already everything else around here except…

I was s busy at work today I never got around to eating lunch. At about 3pm I dug into the hard boiled egg and piece of cheese I brought just so I wouldn't be sick on the drive home. I am always getting nauseated when I drive home from work if I haven't eaten...and today was an especially long one due to traffic. I did…

My jeans maaay feel a little looser, but I didn't wash them since I wore them last so....It takes a lot of weight loss for clothes to start getting big for me. I think I am down 30lbs now in 6 weeks and I feel like some of the clothes I wore last year at this weight are too small. Maybe I just got used to wearing baggy…

Thank you! Can you remind me of this in say 3 to 4 months? That seems to be my fall off period.

French fries and Tatortots. I do make them occasional for my daughter but even when I just make enough for her, I am always stealing them off the pan. You know, to make sure they aren't too hot...yeah that's it. The other thing would be chips but we do keep them in the house, just not my favorites like salt and vinegar and…

Good Morning! I absolutely LOVE fall. Not so much where I live, because we don't really have a fall in Austin, TX. We have Summer and fall like temps for a couple months but that is it. We do not get the gorgeous change of colors, or brisk mornings and warm days and afternoons. I spent most my life in Washington State and…

I keep hearing how therapy has helped a lot of people. I have tried it 3 times and found all I Did was cry a lot and feel like I was paying someone to listen. Can I ask anyone who would be willing to share what is some good techniques your therapist has used to help you get past your issues?

Fruit on a salad is good but only the right mix for me. Has to be on dark leafy greens with chicken, strawberries, raisins, almonds or pine nuts with some raspberry vinaigrette oh and some feta. Yum! I am big on chef salad. Lately I am obsessed with Olive Gardens lite Italian dressing. You can get that in the store now! I…

Because I have been at it now for 20 years and can't seem to get it right. :sad: Honestly, my Mom is very supportive of me, but she is very critical of herself (like yours) and others. The last time she was down here visiting, she commented on everyone's weight on T.V., in the magazines, how skinny they were, how fat, etc.…

I was surprised to read this because when I saw the title of the thread, I immediately thought of you and how you seemed to have the best self image and self acceptance despite your weight. I got a little sad reading this too: "Our weight is just one part of us. Even if we hate the weight, there are still other parts of…

Morning all. Busy here too. Only posting on my phone on break. Getting really anxious to weigh. It has been about 15 days now since my last weight in. Tried the packaging scale at work. It still errors out unless I put some pressure on my finger to take some weight off. Lol. That's cheating. Its too far of a drive to go to…

3 or 7. Cute!

Happy Mothers Day! I'm not sure about doing anything new today. Its a typical Sunday. Catching up on laundry and housework. I was determined on taking advantage of the day and not doing any cleaning but as I was making my daughter's lunch something smelled so bad in the kitchen I gave in and decided it isn't going to get…

Freebirds freedom salad with grassfed steak and black beans tamatillo sauce pico grilled peppers and onions. So good. High sodium but low cal and filling.

Hellloooo! First chance I have had all day to check in. Very busy what we call "Renewal" Season. I work for the state. Basically, we have to spend all of our money or lose it, so I am here making sure we spend it before we lose it. I did take lunch with my husband today. We went to Arby's and I had a diet coke. That was…

Checking in again. Lunch is in my belly, I am stuffed to the gills. The flavorz apple packs are like candy. I bought them for my daughter, but stole them for my lunch. I don't think I want to know what they "Flavorz" them with, I am sure it is not "natural" but dang, 30 calories a pack.. sweet tooth satisfied. My only…

People meet to go eat cakes? Wow.. how did I get so fat not knowing these people? :noway: I would definitely suggest calling her up with a different activity in mind and seeing how that goes. I wouldn't harbor ill feelings over cake. Maybe bring it up when you are not around food that you are just really trying to work on…

Today is going to be: Romaine Salad Mix Tuna Packet Olive Garden light Italian Dressing 2 Hard Boiled Eggs Minnie Mouse Apple Slices

Oh Booze, I feel you. If anyone would've brought out free trays of booze around me, all bets would've been off. I don't blame you one bit! My good habit that I HAD developed over the last few weeks was giving up my middle of the night binging. The last couple of nights though, I have woken up and had some carbs. I do blame…

I look forward to family pictures! I declined the free ones offered at my daughter's school...

I LOVE the Look of Torrid's clothes, but I cannot help but think..they are skinny girl clothes just in bigger sizes. That being said, I have never actually bought anything from Torrid. I have been inside and they have a lot of cute stuff for decent prices. I just am not sure I have the confidence..
