Aw Jen, sorry she did that. Did she actually call your ex or was it an empty threat? I'm thankful to have a healthy Mom, but she never calls me for anything...she kinda hates me. I'm her black sheep. And she lives a block away from me so its kinda hurtful. Maybe turn the tables on her and become ultra annoying and needy and see how she handles it ;)
 
Oh Jen, your Mum is way out of line & is acting like a spoiled brat! I can't imagine being like that or like kaplooie's Mum either! Perhaps you had better do what you feel you need to do for her, but step back a little. She is being unreasonably demanding & maybe needs to be told as much, nicely if you can. Look after yourself Jen, xoxo Cate
 
Ok, so obviously the last week and a half hasn't gone well. :blush5: When I'm away you can be sure that I'm stuffing my face full of a bunch of crap that I shouldn't be. haha. I feel like the funk I've been in is coming to an end though. So at least it wasn't a month long food bender.

My head just has not been in a good place with all the shit with my mom and some other stuff. Plus I've been extremely busy with kid stuff. The last month of school is insane. This week alone there is 3 school functions to go to. Ugh. I can't wait til summer. Although, I'll retract that statement when summer actually gets here and they're home all day. :willy_nilly:


I'll be honest. I'm writing this post with the full intention of eating like complete shit tonight and having some drinks. But, I want to get on track tomorrow, so here I am. Tomorrow I will be back and my butt will be in gear! I have shirts that I want to fit into this summer! I don't wanna look like a fat mess in wedding pictures, whenever that happens! It could be this fall or next summer. There's so much to decide on and we don't agree on anything....other than the fact that we do actually want to get married. haha.


But anyway... I'm here and checking in. :)

Also wanted to add, that although the no calorie counting thing kind of worked. I need structure right now, so I'll be going back to calorie counting. At least for a while, until I trust myself again, because right now I definitely do not. haha.

Good that your back!

Mum's are annoying. I'm lucky that my mum isn't as bad or annoying as some, and I am thankful for that. Ii hope you manage to work things out, in whatever way it needs to be.

I had one of those days on sunday. scoffed my wat through 32 kider bars... It's hard to stop sometimes when your not feeling 100%
 
Thanks, P-C!


Weight this morning 216.8. Gained like 7 lbs. I'm sure most of it is water weight(I ate a ton of carbs and it's my TOM), but it's still depressing.
I will be counting calories again starting today.
Calorie limit for the day 1500.
Goal: 213 by the 22nd.
 
Cray how it takes so long to get it off but one week of bad eating and BAM, a thousand lbs. Its like fighting tooth and nail for loss'.
 
I have had a break from counting calories too Jen & find I eat more sweet stuff. Before I thought twice about everything I ate & lately I have been saying "stuff it, I'll have it." Consequently I have gained too. Back to counting calories today too! :(

Yeah, I did the same thing. Calorie counting works, it's a pain in the butt, but it works... so, back we go! lol.



-----------------

Calories were a little bit higher than I wanted them to be today... 1600. Dinner ended up being tacos(something quick) because we had to go to orientation for middle school! Ahhhh, I have a kid in middle school next year! It doesn't seem possible. lol.

Hi Jen and everybody else here. Now that summer has come i find more difficulty staying in a diet plan. The opportunities to go out with friends are a lot and after we always go out for dinner late at night. I am filled with remorse as the previous week i drunk beer and ate steaks and fried potatoes, bread, and fried vegetables, kind of food that I usually avoid. I will try this week to limit my food at night in order to get back on track. I get 2 lbs more and I feel it. I think it is very difficult to eat less when you are in a company and all are eating as they want. I can’t really suppress myself at that moment or saying that I am doing diet, I never tell this when I go out for dinner with friends. The thinking that the next day I will take part in a dance lesson and I wouldn’t be enough fit doesn’t give me enough motivation to hold me away from fatting food. Sometimes I think that i really need support for continuing diet but I don’t really know where I can find it. The dietologist just give me some instructions but don’t really get support all over the way. Where do you find support on this way?
 
Thanks, Hana! I have my moments, but for the most part I'm good. :)

Hey, ABY. I'm not sure what to tell you there. I have kids, my friends all have kids and busy schedules, I don't feel well half the time, and I'm kind of a homebody.... so going out with friends doesn't happen all too often for me. I went out for dinner with my friend last week, and it was the first time in ages that we got to do that. And because I don't do it very often, I usually don't care about what I eat. If I did it more often, I would have a problem saying 'no' to all the bad food too. lol.


Hi Cate. I'm doing ok. Back to counting calories. Just been crazy busy, and probably will be for the next week and a half until the kids get out of school. I'm trying to cram in all the stuff I want to get done around the house before they're home all day bouncing off the walls. lol....Plus work and all the normal stuff. Oh, and I had the chest cold from hell for about two weeks. I had heard that chest colds were pretty bad after having embolisms, they weren't joking. lol. I've still been popping on to read just about every day, just haven't had time to post regularly. Hopefully soon though! :)

Glad to see you popping in, Jen! Guess we'll have to take turns prodding you to come by quickly to say hi :) Hope your mom isn't driving you too crazy!
 
Hi Jen, ok I had a control on myself the previous week when I went out with friends and I had to order something for eating. Now I see that I feel a great resistance to lose 2 pounds at this point. Although I limit my food intake I don’t see progress. I try hard to lose these 2 pounds but at the end they come again. I feel tired because I should watch my diet every moment. Until the end of month I should have lost 10 pounds in order to feel good for an amateur dance competition. That’s a great motive but I feel anxious and depressed that I have been stuck at this point. In parallel, there is the daily work and at this time activities at home and family that don’t leave me much time for relaxing. This resistance will at the end leave me or i should change something?
 
I'm around. :D Today was the last day of school! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It's going to be a crazy summer!

I've decided to switch stuff up a little bit and do low carb for this month or maybe longer if I can stand it. So far so good. Already lost 3 lbs this week. Carbs are my weakness and I eat WAY too many of them, so I need to cut back considerably.

New motivation: Chef and I have pretty much decided to get married in October.. nothing is for sure yet, but that's what it's looking like right now. That's 4 months to lose weight. FOUR MONTHS, PEOPLE! I don't want to look like a busted can of biscuits stuffed in a dress for the pictures. haha.

mmmm.. biscuits.. *slaps hand!* NO! I can't have carbs!




Edit: Also wanted to add that after only a few days of eating low carb, my constant muscle aches and joint pain and stiffness are a lot better. I love carbs, but my body definitely does not. :(

I'm lower carbing it also. I know...not a popular thing around here, but I have been pretty good at it for the last few weeks and while I initially dropped a lot of water weight I've managed to not lose anymore by stuffing my muscles with tons of water weight with lifting heavy like crazy for the last two weeks. My scale says no loss but the wattle on my chin says your losing too fast. Damn water weight anyways.

GOOD TO SEE YOU POSTING!!! Damn you were gone for a grip. Don't be a stranger.
 
I'm eating low carb too Jen & the weight is coming off. Nice to hear from you xoxo
