What i like to do is list all the healthy food that i like...Make a menu for each day with nothing but the healthy food that i like.
 
TOPS weigh-in tonight...I missed last week's. So, even though I've gone up the last couple of days, I have lost since my last meeting. :) :) :)
 
*Vent on*

So for the last month or two, the ex has been trying to talk me into getting back together with him. He misses the kids, and thinks we'll be one big happy family. I've been saying no, not right now, can't even think of it because you're still the same, etc. I don't want to be all blunt and mean about it (even though he deserves it) because I know he'll pout and go away to work, which will hurt the kids.

I think I finally got through to him this week. He decided on Tuesday to go into the bush to work, was gone a couple of days. He comes in last night; just for a few hours, to see my daughter. He calls to say he's in, and he sounds fine. I left the kids with a sitter to go for a walk, and when I get home, he's trying to leave (Abba's crying for him to stay:cry: ). I talk to him after, and he's trying not to cry. He says he was trying to leave before I got back, because he wanted to avoid me. So I suggested having someone be the go-between for a while.

Sigh. I really hope it gets better. We were getting along so well for the last 6 months.

*Vent over*

I've hit 141 again. I am utterly determined to reach 139 within the next week. I have my camera ready to take a picture of the scale. LOL!!
 
Sorry about the prob's w/ the ex Dari. ((hugs)) I hope things get better too.

I'm soo freaking proud of you for your weight loss!! What an inspiration!
 
eeeek! step away from the s mores!

Bugger about the Ex - sounds likes hes a bit confused, lonely and mixed up. Possibly hes convinced he wants you back even though its more just the company and friendship hes missing or something.

So long as you stick with what you want and what the kids need before anything else it should all turn out fine.

Love your pics of the scales lol :D
 
I'm trying to figure out what to set my final goal at. Everyone is saying I look fine now, and should stop where I am. But I'm still uncomfortable, and still have rolls and jiggly bits.

I set my goal for TOPS at 140, before I knew what I should go down to, and my doctor had no suggestions. I'm 1 lb away (woo hoo!), but in order to go more than 3 lbs below it without 'getting into trouble' with TOPS, I need to go back to the doctor and fill out a new goal form for him to sign.

So should I just pick another random number? Or something in the middle of my range? (which is 105-129, I think)
 
That's a tough one Dari - I guess you gotta figure out where ya wanna be...

As far as the x I am sorry...I hope he figures everything out soon...You told him not right now - does that mean you would consider it ???
 
Nope Cerella, I just didn't want to be so blunt as to hurt his feelings if he was really serious. He pouts like a child, and I knew the kids would end up hurting.
 
Hey Dari, look at the bright side? Did you ever think hitting your goal would be a problem? You're doing great wherever you put it at. Pick a size that makes you happy and that you're able to maintain without living on water and half an almond everyday.
 
LOL Cannon...could you imagine? How can anyone have a happy life when they're constantly hungry???


Gained this week.:confused: I don't know why I'm finding it so hard to stay on track lately. It's frustrating, but it's my own fault. I have nothing to blame. I'm back down to what I was a week ago...so now I'm going to get below 140 in the next week or so. I have to. I've come too far to screw up now.
 
Dari, you hit my pet peeve. I hate when people say "Its my own fault". Yes, part of it is giving into urges, but those urges get very powerful when you get at or close to goal and it takes a lot of effort to fight them. This is the problem with long term weight loss. Its not impossible, but it requires eternal vigilance and it requires different strategies. You'll get the hang of it though and you already have the vigilance part down.
 
I agre wiht Cannon - plus giving into urges and indulging is normal and a part of every day life and living - you need to live and be happy...

I have size 19 jeans at the moment but they are 2 big I need to wear a belt with them to keep them up...Im 5'3 and 3/4
 
Hey Dari,
Well I can say stress plays a major part in gaining weight it is just
how you deal with it,I used to go for a long walk when Iget stressed upset ect and lately it has been a walk to the freezer blah but you are 1 tough cooie and have accomplished so much so 139 should be a breaze for ya!I wouldn't look at the # on the scale as your goal since you are almost to 140 which is your 1st goal I would just keep going until you like what you see.

I have 150 or 140 as my goal but if I get there and still have some jigglies to deal with I will continue until my clothes fit the way I want and I like what I see.
As far as the X maybe he realizes what he has lost and wants it back the family the sexy wife ect I went through this with my hubby who was my fiancee at the time but we had already had 2 kids and I was preggers with his 3rd I gave him a chance and he has been great and we are happy but every situation is different go with your heart.

I haven't been in here in a while and wanted to check on ya have a nice weekend Tammy:hug2:

I hear what you're saying...what I mean by it being my fault is that I haven't been as vigilant in fighting the cravings as I used to be. Nobody is making me pick up the chocolate bar and eat it...I need to be the one to take the power back and put the damn thing down.
