04/17/15- today I celebrate
Good morning everyone!!!! Although yesterday was not even close to a good eating day, I put on my big girl panties, sucked it up and started anew today. Normally a bad eating day would lead to many, so for me, this is a major NSV. Also, don't know what is bothering my tummy this morning, but something is making me feel…

04/16/15 today I celebrate
I have a friend on FB, very beautiful girl, she's plus size and she reminded everyone the other day of just how beautiful we are now and that even if we are working to lose weight or tone up, that we must accept ourselves now as we are, to allow the change to occur. I'm taking her words and Carly's advice about self-worth…

4/14/15- Today I celebrate
I'm stealing this from my other group. I know myself, I get caught up in what the dumb metal box says to me. I allow it, way to often, to dictate my moods. So in light of this, I think we should start to celebrate our NSV daily. Today I celebrate a few things: My friends here who understand my struggles and know how real…

Good morning everyone!!! Today I celebrate that I noticed I am farther from the steering wheel and the seat belt fits better. It's all about the little things, right??

04/14/15-today I celebrate
I figure I really liked Wendy's idea yesterday to focus on non scale related items, so I figured we could start a post every day of NSV. Today I celebrate that I logged every bite of food from yesterday. I've logged everything I brought with me for today. TOM came to visit me as soon as I got to work today, which explains…

Week 1 over; how do you feel you did??
I hit the vending machines day 1. Other then that, I managed to only eat what was packed for me. Hard, very hard. But I consider it a win. How about everyone else??

13 weeks.... Week 2

I have managed to stay away from vending all but the very first day of my challenge and only eat the food I brought to work with me.…

? for the group
Quick story recap. RNY 01/26/15, expected to lose about 2lbs per week as it is a revision surgery and the Doc said about 2lbs is average for revision patients. I have a bulging L5 and a weak right knee. Hurts to do steps, but I still do them when I can. I'm trying to create a program for me that works for my lifestyle. I'd…

UGH- what was I thinking
I wasn't was the problem. I found out this weekend that even though I had RNY surgery, I'm not in the 30% of the population that dumps (gets sick on high sugar foods). So what did I do? I ate Godiva premium chocolate caramels and a Cadbury caramel egg all in the same day. WTF??? I had a horrible weekend eating wise. I am…

March 21st
Today has been disgusting with the food. Hope everyone else is having a good day. I hate being a woman one time per month, when I get urges to eat everything including the kitchen sink. I grazed thru the entire day which is a HUGE NO-NO for me. Cari

Friends needed
Good afternoon. I'm not new to MFP. I was on for awhile last year, did OK. I had RNY gastric bypass surgery 01/26/15 due to my metabolism was so jacked up from years (20+) of yo-yo dieting. I saw a nutritionist and an endocrinologist who both suggested WLS. I was OK with the decision as I'd has the sleeve in 2012, but…

Only 4 more days of spring fling and 4 more days till Spring itself. YEAH!!!!! I have to admit, I am a little disappointed in myself for not being closer to my goal of 295, but I am impressed that I have not given up logging food. Sometimes when I get down on myself (bipolar) I tend to stop doing those things that are…

Good morning ladies and gents!!!! This has been the most horrible weekend I've had since well before my RNY. My mother has hernia surgery on Friday. The doctor thought she had 2 larger Hernias. He opened her up, she had 5 hernias and 2 that he had to re-repair for a second time so a total of 7 hernias repaired on Friday.…

I have 8 days !!! UGH
Till my final clearance before WLS with the nurse practioner and nutritionist. I have tried tracking and not tracking and Darn it, nothing is working. When I track, I feel as though I am concentrating on food and allowing it to consume my thoughts and actions. When not tracking, I thought I was doing ok.... NOT. I have got…

Has anyone ever noticed??
I was away over the weekend and also had a funeral on Tuesday... I didn't log food.. and I LOST. When I didn't log, I didn't find myself concentrating on food 24/7 and found it much easier to stay on track. Anyone else ever do this?? Hugs, Carrie

Great power
My supervisor sent this to me... not sure where he got it from, but I thought it was great to repost here. You have great power, yet much of that power can easily be wasted on trivial, meaningless things. Imagine what would happen if you devoted more of your power to the truly important, meaningful things. In the moments…
