Well thank you, I actually thought I sounded like a preachy A-Hole;)

Today...totally bad day...terrible mood swings, terrible cramps, crying for no reason, splitting headache.

This sounds mean, but when I read this line, I busted out laughing! Not because I was laughing at your misfortune at all--because I've so been there and it's really, really horrible when a bad period hits you.

All I can do is promise myself that tomorrow will be healthier. I am too happy with my weight loss and too determined to get these last five pounds off. I'm not going to let food be the victor. Hopefully tomorrow my cycle will be better.

Right on! Don't worry about it--just put a plethora of healthy foods around you and binge on those--it'll fill you up and not let you down. Whoa I've heard that before?! :confused:

I have been under quite a bit of stress...the usual school stuff, registering for summer and fall classes, trying to find a place to live after I get kicked out of here on the 13th of May, and trying to find a job so that I can afford an apartment. That's not an excuse to eat whatever I want. So easy to say, and yet so hard to put into practice...

Situations like these make people GAIN weight. If you're maintaining, you're Super Woman! I'm in awe! You can do it!!!
 
CG---I appreciate all the encouragement!

I feel like this is a breaking point----I can either stop the ice cream/chocolate extravaganza right now and resume my healthy habits or I can slowly slip back into how I was before. I did so great the first half of the day just to ruin it by buying candy at Walgreen's this afternoon. I threw the rest of the Cadbury eggs away. Tomorrow I am planning a long run (5 miles, maybe 6) and maybe even some time in the pool to make up for the last few days. I'm feeling much better today.

Funny story...yesterday I was in cramp/headache/emotion HELL and I got some water on my favorite shoes. I tried to rub it out but it only looked worse, so, in front of my boyfriend, I started crying. Over a pair of shoes. Of course, it dried and they were fine. I freaked him out pretty good. :)
 
I hope you feel better soon. You will. I hope you get the job at the university. I worked at a university after I graduated from it and it was the best job I ever had. The air is rare on campus. Lots to do, great people.

You got it right there girl...

The power is in your hands - you CAN reach your goals, just stay focused on them.

As for freaking out the boyfriend, just consider it good training for when you reach menopause ;)
 
Thanks Kelly!

I forgot to mention this--I have a new job lined up for the summer and fall! The ID card office hired me, and I start May 16. One less thing to worry about!
 
M2M---thank you so much for the encouragement. All I need is a week or two of really healthy eating/exercise and I'll be right on track.

Blasphamus! Nah, good for you! You may just be on the candy binge because of your period, and also because it's a bad one. I'm not discrediting your affirmation, I'm just saying that you may find, in a few days or less, that your sweettooth will go away. Stay strong! You can do this!!
 
Congrats on the job, thats fantastic.

Bugger about the cravings etc. I find if i overeat, then i have to do drastic stuff to stop it. Yesterday i threw out the perfect steak.
I saw it, i took a bite, i scolded myself after putting it back.
It was leftovers. So then i went back 10 mins later and took another large bite. I realized i had a problem at this time, i i promptly opened the kitchen window and threw it into the bush.
I felt bad about throwing expensive yummy food away, but at the time it was that or eating it :/
Anyway the moral of the long rant is, keep on kicking its butt!

Isn't it fun to just break down over the silliest things? :rolleyes: I hate the awful hormone switches that we have to put up with.. I guess the guys do too. Not sure who has it worse, us girls or guys coping with their women.

Glad your shoes came out ok, and you got that allowed you to have your choco and then move on. that's the best way to deal with that sort of thing.
 
Way to go Casey... your hard work paid off. Hope to see you in the 140s club real soon. Too funny about freaking bf out re: crying about water on shoes. We women are adorable!!
 
Thanks 2Skinny!!!

Today has been great. I'm moving into an apartment soon, and I really want to try to find one with a pool so that I can wear a bikini this summer! I am also thinking about going on a (booze) cruise with some friends and my boyfriend. I want to wear a swimsuit so bad!
