How do I join the 100+ Club? Life is Hard Right Now!

[Nancy Mo]

Hello CC,

During my 2nd week, weight loss stopped & I gained 2 or 3 pds, so that disappointment helped me stress out more, because I had been on program 100%!!!

I've had a really tough time. On Thurs, my mom-in-law broke her hip. Between the 2 kids, work, babysitters, hospital, & my stressed-out husband who won't leave his mom's side (don't blame him), I've lost it. Sat and Sunday, I didn't stay on program, it was too hard. I had 2 anxiety attacks, & my body is killing me. I'm not used to walking thru the store buying grocery, unpacking it from the car, putting it away, watching da kids alone, etc. Anyway, made it to work at 12, & having 3 burgers w/o buns & pork rinds now. So I'm back on, but boy, I'm really stressed.

I had a slip today. My strips arn't gonna turn again for a day or two. But its okay, just get back on it! It took me a long time to get a respectable distance between my slips. I was/am a total carb junky. And when I do eat something sweet, I want to eat more of everything else too. The longer you can stay cheat free, the less hungery you should get. Once the carbs get out of your system and you are running on fat and protein, its easier. Hang in there! I take all my salad stuff and chop it up and put it in baggies as soon I can. That way if I'm hungery, I can have a quick salad anytime. I also eat a bite of cheese here and there between meals. I keep chicken leg quarter's in the fridge so they are thawed and ready to bake. I can do all kinds of things with hamburger, so I keep it thawed and ready to cook too. I have to becareful with porkrinds, I'm not sure why but too many can slow down my weightloss even though they shouldn't. I also can't have the sweets with sugar alcohals. They just mess me up all around. They work fine for some though. I try to stick to meats, allowed induction veggies, and cheeses. I found out what does and doesn't agree with me by trying new things like splenda one at a time.
Welcome to the board! We do rollcall sometime about everyday. lol Its not up there yet. I'm usually too chicken to start it up. I really do better when I do answer rollcall regular. It gets me planning to be good.
