Re: Roll Call 4/9/09..

Good Afternoon Everyone!
I'm kinda bummed out that Grey's Anatomy is on hold for a few more weeks. All's going well with the WOE, still hanging out around 195. Harvey's had a sale on turkeys yesterday, so I bought 3 of them. I'm going to smoke one tonight. I get my bloodwork results tomorrow, so hopefully I will have good news then. I need to lay off the pickles, I'm eating way too much salt. Between that, and the ham, I must be bloaty.

Morning Everyone

I'm happy Not only do I have a lovely 4 day long-weekend to look forward, I've taken the remainder of next week off... so I'm on a little mini-vacay, returning to work on the 20th!!

I do have some planning to do around my eating-plan... next week hubby and I are taking off to his home town for 3 day family(in-law) visit and I KNOW I'll have to work around what Mom-in-law puts on the table. Fortunately Mom is great and I'm sure we'll work something out!

Things continue to go well... still sitting at 200 while waiting patiently for one-derland.

Speaking of one-derland... contrats to Dana!

Julie - I just had several pants taken in because, like you, I'm not interested in buying brand-new clothing for a body I expect to shrink even further! Good for you that you're getting "new" things, though!! You deserve it!!

Becki - it's a GOOD thing that you're one to push yourself!! Okay... so you have to ease up a little... but because of your personality you KNOW that you'll be able to SLOWLY push yourself to new accomplishments. Don't be to harsh on yourself! You rock!!

My countdown - I'm 98 days cheat-free and currently working on my 99th!! On Saturday I'll be able to check in with a loud "WOO-HOO" announcement!!!

Have a great day, everyone... and, like me, stay cheat free!!

I have a question like that, what's DH? I know it's significant other or something like that, but don't know what the letters stand for?

Re: Roll Call 4/9/09..

DH is Dear Husband or Darling Husband....

Or depending on your mood...dumb husband. hehehehe

Onederland is a magical mythical place I've never seen. I went from birth to 280...flew right on through onederland.

Re: Roll Call 4/9/09..

Good evening!! This is one of those evenings when I feel like everything is going just right. I'm still at 173, but I feel absolutely wonderful with it. I know that in a day or two, I'll move on down. No hurry! I am doing OWL now, so I know it will probably go slower, that's okay too. It is nice to be able to add just a little more to my food intake. I'm cheat free, don't even want anything that is bad for me.

To all the newbies, welcome and good luck. You are going to love this!

To all the losers, I just love watching the statistics that all of you have. Every pound that you lose gives me the willpower to go on with this. You all are great!

Re: Roll Call 4/9/09..

Good evening all! I had another loooong day at work and I'm exhausted. I'm really proud of myself though, Ive been taking lunches and snacks with me everyday and not even glancing twice at the GIANT bucket of Easter Candy that is sitting in the pharmacy at work. I just keep reminding myself that I'm looking better and feeling better, and thats good enough for me.

I think this time around is different because it's not just about being thin for me anymore. It really is about my health this time. Now that Im getting older and have been diagnosed with PCOS I can appreciate the fact that, if I dont get this under control I may not be able to have children, and I will more than likely end up diabetic. Those two things alone arent worth all the reeses peanut butter eggs in the world!

Congrats to all the losers!
Rajenki - Just keep on truckin girl. You'll get there eventually. Look how far you've come already!

I guess Im gonna go try to relax and find something decent to watch on tv. (No Grey's Anatomy tonight. Phooey.)

Night all!

Re: Roll Call 4/9/09..

Hi all you wonderful losers! this ADBB really is a blessing to me. I know That my family and friends are tired of hearing about my small success and my constant thoughts on every thing from food, recipes, working out, ketosis, ect. ect. Here every one knows and understands how important it is to be able to talk about all of these topics, endlessly. I would like to share a small victory for me today. I was picking up dinner for a friend who has gout. He wanted McDonalds. It didn't hit me what I was doing till I was in the drive through with the menu items starring me in the face. I actually felt a little adrenalin surge , a little panicy feeling. I ordered his food, and went through, picked up the food. At first the smell was intoxicating. But then.. I took a long deep breath... and calmed my self and let my true thoughts flow. It did smell good, but I could tell how it would taste, just from the aroma. FrenchFries.. once i loved that smell. It wasn't that great, matter of fact, i could smell the grease, and starch. the burger.. didn't appeal that much either. smelling the grease was actually nauseating .
I felt power over the food. Control. I never was even tempted to try one fry. Wow. I felt ok knowing that I would never really be able to consume this kind of food again. I can live with that. I feel great! I feel proud.. and yes, releived. Small vicotry to some.. but huge to me. thanks for letting me share.
