Thank you. I understand your concern. As I said, my body responds very well to my intake. I have a low cal requirement mostly d/t the fact that I have a substantial amount of weight to lose. I make the necessary adjustments as my weight begins to drop. I've been pretty successful, past and present, with weightloss so I…

Thanks-that is quite coincidental, I have some of that in the fridge right now!

Thanks for the advice. ...and I most definately reward myself when I'm under! The treats you mentioned are amongst my favs!

:bigsmile: I understand Brihammond-I'm right there with ya! I bring my own stockpile to avoid the "feasts..." ...doesn't always work though... ...workin' on that:smile:

When I was 17: I thought I had it all figured out...I hadn't a clue:laugh: I thought I was fat, but now am working HARD just to get CLOSE to that weight:frown: I could eat anything and not gain a pound, now I can't eat anything without gaining a pound:grumble: Thought the idea of having kids would be easy, because, ya…

Yeah, you are right. Not to make excuses, because there aren't any, but in environments such as those (I am an RN in an inner-city ER) the stress levels run a little (understatement) high sometimes. We "take care" of each other by feeding each other. Comfort foods (like junk-stuff) tend to take the edge off (you know,…

Those are the most awesome snacks. I buy all of that stuff. I also buy Quaker chocolate rice cakes, fiber one and special K cereal bars, fruit cups (fruit in juice or water) and sugar-free applesauce-good stuff!

Awwww man, well that kinda killed that idea for ya...sorry...:ohwell:

THANKS MFPals!!!:smile: :smile: :smile:

I DO stay up late. I also DO try to go to sleep to avoid the "snackies" (what I call it-lol) but with three little ones, it gets hard and late nights are my ONLY quiet time to enjoy. And it IS hard at night, but I like your idea-just take my laptop to bed and watch TV in my room until I fall asleep. Now why didn't I think…

Awwww, :smile: I used to watch people do the "adjust my clothes" one, until I realized that I started doing it :noway: , pulling my shirt out from my rolls when I stand up or sit down...:embarassed: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

YOU ONLY HAVE 10 POUNDS TO LOSE... Girl, you better stop...you can do that...

Yeah, me too! Uh, I just saw your profile pic and you are GORGEOUS!!! Don't let ANYONE make you crazy...

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

One day at a time. Just take it one...day...at...a...time... NOTHING worth having comes with ease! Time flies and before you know it, it'll be 6 months from now and you'll be closer than you were today!

Thanks JEK717! No, I don't mind-go ahead-sharing is caring!

ROTFL:laugh:

Great post! I'm a nurse and that makes me think of the little geriatric patients who are well into their 90s. When asked, on occassion, what the secret was to old age, I don't remember any of them saying "Well dear, I never ate any chemicals..."

My cheat day is today and I am NOT thinking about organic tofu with tree leaves and bean sprouts drizzled with all natural dark chocolate. Still healthy, drinking lots of water, making good choices, losing weight and feeling GREAT!!! I am not a car, and food is not soley my fuel. I love to EXPERIENCE food. And while whole…

:laugh:

:drinker: Oh, and I keep the water flowing irregardless... H2O rocks!

Go for it!!!! You deserve it!!

Yeah, I'm a nurse so I know a medication induced weight gain of 2-4lbs/wkly is alot to handle-physically AND mentally! Just keep doing the great job you are doing and enjoy your cheat day because I agree-it helps to keep me on track the rest of the week too!

Hey thanks!!!!! You have a great weekend too!! Oh, and I almost forgot-I DO keep the water flowing-even on cheat days! Cheers!:drinker:

Oooo fish and chips!!!!! YUM! That is great that your dogs keep your exercise regimen regular! Way to go! Regular exercise with great friends (your dogs) makes a cheat day even sweeter!!! :happy:

So true, and by the way, I LOVE CAKE too!!! Especially chocolate cake and cheesecake w/strawberries! Mmmm...

Yes! Sounds great! And you are right-as long as you get right back the next day, the body doesn't seem to notice!!! Enjoy your hen weekend!

Yes! Thats awesome! Great dedication!! Yeah, savor that ice cream!!!!:tongue:

LMBO!!!!!!
