I am about to get off this website for the day and go get my car serviced. I do sincerely thank all of you who made helpful suggestions and I am going to think about them. I do ask some of you to go back and read your posts and see how they might be perceived by someone who struggles. All caps words and "You can't be…

\ If you don't have anything nice to say...

Thank you ;)

I think that's an excellent idea.

Pretty sure I know why I'm on anxiety meds, thank you.

I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me. Nothing has changed. I've been caring for my mother since I was in college. My work is the same. Everything is the same...and that's part of the problem.

Because of the snarky comments a few folks have made, I'm not going to open it. I don't want one of the rudies to make fun of me when there's a jelly bean or something. I had a health instructor once tell me I should eat two slices of pizza a year.

Read my reply above! I am on anxiety meds so I have no problem with that....FYI.

I'm glad you received entertainment at my expense.

According to a lot of people in this thread I'm a big loser. I never said any of this was wrong. I didn't get to address every suggestion. I simply said I didn't have time to weigh all my food. I didn't say I absolutely wasn't going to do that. I said it was a good idea. While everyone else was jumping down my throat I was…

I thought that was great...I've been a little busy trying to explain myself....and it definitely made sense. I've been trying to do this while multitasking so I coudln't address every person's answers.

I certianly wouldn't be aggressive. I would be supportive and have been with others who needed help. Not everything works the same for everyone.

I didn't say any of it was wrong. (((Sigh)))

I won't deny I'm struggling with a lot of areas in my life. It sounded to me like he was insulting my mental health. Psychs are fine and I take anxiety meds so I have no issue with that. I don't think I would have lost 50 pounds if I didn't have drive and motivation. My mother is a WHOLE other ball of wax none of you want…

It's not that I don't like anyone's answer. All I am saying is I know that eating 1200 calories a day is NOT the answer for me and all sorts of assumptions are being made. I really wish I hadn't started this thread. And really...a psych..that's not nice.

She was the one who started me on the plan. I didn't really ask for it.

I was doing things after work and it was late in the day and I was close to that place and it was what my Mother wanted.

Coming here for support and encouragement is definitely not a good idea. Walk in my shoes for a while and you might see why this is not so easy. Farewell.

I did what she said and it didn't work. I am not sure what the heck you don't understand about that.

I don't think that's the entire answer, but thanks. You didn't have to respond.

Sorry, I don't. I take care of a disabiled mother and there just aren't enough hours in the day. Life has NOT been good to me and I've worked like a dog all my life and gotten nothing in return. So yes, I feel like a victim. Are y'all happy?

I did NOT ignore my doctor...I did exaclty what she said...and it has not worked. The first year it worked great...the second year nothing happened. Of course when you go from consuming 3000 cals a day to 1200 you're going to lose weight!

Okay, I really am done with this. I have not shot down anyone's advice and I am sure that a food scale would help. My snark was because people were being nasty and making (I thought) incorrect judgements about me as people have done my entire life. One doctor, insistent that I was a diabetic only because I was overweight,…

Thank you all for your comments. I do use a meter when I work out, so I am not overestimating that. I sweat like no one's business and I know what a 500 calorie burn feels like as opposed to a 100 or 200 calorie one. Yes, I'm sure my good estimates are off. Yes, to quote someone else, apparently I suck at this. My one…

Okay, so here is two days from my diary.... GOAL 1740 per day. Tuesday Breakfast Aramark Cafeteria Scrambled Eggs ½ cup 120 Cals Pillsbury White Chocolate Raspberry Chunk Scone 440 560 Coffee black.

I completely understand how to measure food, no worries. I know that uncooked oatmeal and cooked oatmeal weigh differently and I know how to tell the difference.

We actually do have measuring spoons where I work for those condiments. And it is a teaspoon. That's all I want.

Considering I was almost 300 lbs, I am pretty proud of my 37 inch waist.

1 cup oatmeal. 2 tsp light brown sugar prepared the old fashioned way. Two large sections of pineapple. Salad has greens, black olives, 1 tsp of bleu cheese crumbles, 1 tsp of cranberries. 1 tbs of honey french dressing on the side. I don't eat fries. No, I am not opening up my diary because people will be rude and mention…

I am short-waisted so there's not much to measure...yes, I do measure it there.
