Thank you ALL I am loving all of these ideas! I had run out and was stumped lately lol. I will go look this one up!

Thank you everyone for the support! :)

Honestly, I found cutting it way down to be much easier. Coming home after a long day and saying "no wine" made me feel deprived (a feeling I am not used to), and I felt it was a recipe for disaster/binge. So, limiting myself has really helped me and made me feel a sense of control. I realized I was drinking way too fast…

I have been cooking our rice and quinoa in vegetable broth :) Yum!

P.S.....can go to Trader Joes at lunch to pick something up :)

Update! So today is day 4. I have not stopped completely. Instead, I have cut it by more than half. I log every single calorie I consume. I have lost 2 pounds. :) I am proud of myself because I am showing self control. Hopefully I can be good this weekend lol.

Thank you all! Good advice!

Thank you guys! I did buy a couple bottles to have around for my husband and if I did want to have a glass one night, because I don't like to deny myself of everything,. That seems like it would frusterate me since I'm already so diligent with my food. I want to show myself I can change this pattern. :) I can do this!

Selfie :)

I'm such a pateint person lol. After wearing them this morning, I feel like they're being broken in. :)

Ya I need to visit our Road Runner store for sure. They fit you. :)

Bump! :)

I think it's totally counter productive to use a pill (dangerous amphetamines at that) to begin your journey to health. You need to show yourself you CAN do this and without any magic pills. You need to learn how to do this THE RIGHT WAY, or you will very likely fail. I'm sorry if that is harsh, but it is truly how I feel.

OP show me your boobs.

He can get you a boob job if you lose them.

Ok this cycle was weird......no symptoms other than a bit of salt craving and drank more wine. But my mood was FINE! Until the day before I started. I wanted to kill everyone and got so mad at my husband I made a hole in the wall with the door. Jeebus.

I do 20-40 minutes on the stepmill, and hour of body pump, and an hour of Zumba on Saturdays. I burn 900-1200 calories.

I started my period Saturday morning. I worked out vigorously (sp? lol) for 3 hours.

Bump!

Ya this place is a joke. I am on a year long photo ban right now. I chose to delete all of my photos and now I can't post one even if I want to. All because of some bikinis. :grumble:

I would so love that! I know it would help push me along! Good luck OP!!

So you find this place to be filled with mean people and you are afraid to post yet you post this? :huh: Ok.

Agreed!

Maybe scrambled eggs with cheese? I can pre make that and warm it up in the morning! Love these yummy ideas!

I like these ideas, my goal was to find high protein low carb ideas. :) Now I have to figure out the easiest way to get these in on my work days.

That sounds great! Thank you!

But if you read all the posts, she is not close to this niece at all. She barely knows her. She is closer to another niece and would likely have handled it differently. This subject is not black and white. I don't agree that we can run around talking to any kid the way we want to because we are adults.

How about "it's not my role"? I for one would be pretty upset if someone chose to have a talk about my kid's behavior in private without my knowledge. I spend a lot of time and energy instilling values into my kids and I would hate for someone to talk to them and try teaching something the way they they feel is right when…

*stands and claps*

Exactly. It is not my role nor my right to try to parent any child other than my own unless I am hired to do so. (I was a nanny once)Too bad her parents don't seem to be succeeding at parenting, but it's not OP's place to try to parent her in a social setting without the parents being involved.
