I just glanced over your recent pics of your family and your engagement photo from '94! LOVE THEM! You have such a lovely family and you look so happy in all of the photos! :)

Just wonderful!

I'm also happy to hear about your success with the vacation weight coming off! Great job! :)

Your consistent days of good numbers is just so motivational to me :) I'm in a zone at the moment where all I can think about is reaching my goal weight this month.

I've been nominated by the AHA (American Heart Association) for a Lifestyle Change Award :) If I win, I'll be presented with some things in front of a crowd during the opening ceremony of a Heart Walk :)

Glad to see my amazing forum mother is doing so well! You're so incredible! :)

I am here :)

Had a cheat day yesterday 2500 calories :(

But did 60 minutes of Zumba and ate 1550 today...so its better.

didn't hit my goal of being in the 150's today...but hopefully next week....I want it so bad!! But sometimes I feel like my body hates me...haha.
 
Oh my, I know all about that feeling about your body working against you :)


I felt that a lot actually in the recent months, but small changes and perseverance are all it takes! You're gonna hit your goals, and then some!


You'll be in the 150's in no time, my lovely e-mom! :biggrin: Even though you look so amazing right now!!


Nice job on the Zumba and the calories, too! :hurray:


You've always been such a solid source of inspiration for me

Hey tete


It has been quite a while since I've been around but I'm back and I just want to tell you that you are looking absolutely fabulous! The pics that you have put up since I was last here are amazing you look soooooooo good and soooooooo young far too young to be the mom of those big strapping boys.


I understand that you are on a little plateau right now but I'm sure that you will bash right through it - I mean look at what you have achieved - truly inspiring!


Wishing you a wonderful day

xxxx
 
AI know the feeling of your body hating you, I did so well this week apart from one mcdonnalds, and all I lost is one pesky pound arrggghhh. Maybe we'll lose more next week and make up for it! x

I really really needed it...I have been blahhh on food all week... basically eating maintenance..boooo :( ..I worked out 60 minutes Sunday and went for an hour walk on Monday...but nothing that is going to get the scales moving....feeling super tired and crazy hungry this week ...not sure whats going on....hope it passes soon.

Hoping to savage the rest of the week with some awesomely low days...hope everyone is doing great!!
 
I've had quite a few weeks like that, Tete. Hang in there! :) Those kinds of moments will pass.


Maybe your body just needs a bit of a break, which is fine.


You're gonna be just fine :) You've done so amazingly already! Take it a day at a time :)
 
AA little better today...walked 2.25 miles and ate 1582....hopefully I can be super good this weekend!! Wish me luck :) off to read up on you all ...lol :hurray:
 
AI am a stress eater for sure...and even when I know I am eating for stress reasons I don't stop.....I choose to eat bad when stressful things happen.

So the situation that threw me in to a eating frenzy was my 15 year old came home smashed! It was the first time either one of the boys have...my oldest is more "intellectual" and actually looks down at drinking and losing control...but that baby of mine is a clown and a follower to a certain degree. Deep down I always knew it be him first...and it still hurts and makes me scared.

So I do have to give hims a small bit of credit...he told us himself...

He went to a party on Friday night...I was well aware of ...but I thought it was a 15 year old boys camping out party not a full fledged booze party. I was suppose to pick him up Saturday around noon...but I got up Saturday morning around 8am and noticed his shoes were in the kitchen...so I went up stairs and there is was all tucked in his bed. It didn't look to abnormal...but I didn't wake him...I figured he got a ride home with someone that's all...because it was damp and rainy.

So around 1 pm I can hear him coming down stairs so I get up and see him and he is crying ...I am like whats wrong....he starts to tell me the whole long story...he is sorry for lying and abusing our trust...he didn't know a hangover would be that bad.....he didn't even like the taste.......so I didn't even yell ...I was in shock....I told him get in the shower you look like shit!

...and then I texted my husband who was out golfing. He was furious of course.....but didn't come home ( it was his clubs championship).....which kinda pissed me off....I get that the damage was already done....but I guess that is the difference between moms and dads...I would have dropped everything to come home and flip out...lol...he is way more sensible when it comes to the boys...I am pure emotions.

So I don't even really know what type of punishment to give...he just saved up and bought a dirt bike and part of me wants to make him sell it......I don't know tho.....grounded for how long....from what??

....O this being a mom thing is hard on my diet...haha!!!
 
Hey Tete


I am also a stress eater and I totally know that I am eating purely for emotional reasons and continue anyway I think it's one of those things that we have done for so long that it seems like not only a "natural" reaction but also impossible to change. I have not yet managed to break those habits but I have noticed that even when I do stress eat these days I am far more controlled than I used to be. I'm sure if you think about it you weren't as bad as you once would have been in this situation.


About your youngest coming home drunk, that's a tough one to deal with but it is definitely to his credit that he came clean and told you everything himself. As a teenager I was terrible and would have lied about something like that so you've got a good kid there which is definitely a credit to you as a parent.


I hope you get to enjoy a bit of your weekend before it's over.

Yeah, I completely understand the stress eating. I did a lot of that in the past, too :(


However, now I find stressing my body out by exercising more advantageous than eating badly when I'm upset. Plus, knowing that I pushed myself physically beyond limits I thought possible, and burning calories instead of consuming them, makes me feel much better afterwards! It's win/win :)


Now, unfortunately since I'm not a parent, I can't really offer much advice in terms of the situation with your youngest :( I'd say the newly discovered hangover is punishment enough, but again, I've never really experienced one, so I can't really recommend that as a form of punishment - although I hear they're pretty bad!


It sounds tho like he's learned his lesson, plus he was upfront about it, so like silash said, that's good credit to him :) He knows it was wrong, and wasn't even worth it in the end. Does he go to parties often? If so, maybe restrict his outings for a good while.


Also, is his birthday soon? Maybe you could also utilize the fact that alcohol and driving absolutely do not mix! Perhaps threatening and/or delaying his upcoming ability to drive will also keep him on the straight and narrow indefinitely!


Just some thoughts :)


At any rate, I'm sure you'll figure it all out and also get right back on track with your calories, as always, Tete :)


I have no doubt!


Best of luck with everything :)
 
I used to drink every weekend when I was a kid and lie to my parents about it--He sounds like a really good kid! You want to make sure you maintain that trust--If you flip out on him too much then next time it happens (and it will happen again!!) he wont tell you because he'll be scared of your reaction. Maybe just a sit down talk about what booze does to your body and say that if it happens again he'll have his bike taken off him! Good luck, lovely xx
 
AOh no :(

I think he knows that he did wrong, and has got the right attitude to apologise about it. He could have lied and just said he was ill, that's why he came home early, but he was honest, and honesty counts for a lot I think. I used to go out and get drunk at that age, and run away too for that matter, but I did not feel one tiny bit bad about it. Spose my circumstances were different because I was in foster care, but still...

I think the car punishment sounds about right, if he thinks that drinking could jeopardise his chances of driving maybe he won't do it again.
 
AAweee thanks so much for all the love and support...it means so much to me...we still haven't set a 100% punishment..its more on a day to day base...but he knows this was a one time thing and there will be no second chance!! So is the life with teenagers....on to the next drama...haha


So I suck so bad right now...I mean still just hanging on at maintenance...actually up 3 pounds...but its just because I am eating tons of soups and salty stuff!! My energy level is ZERO!! I am hoping with the season change soon that the heat will be gone and my energy back!! :(
 
AGot a new lens today...so took a new before and after pic...its been awhile and I need some MAJOR motivation!! and these always help...because I can see where I was and never want to be again!!

I have no idea what my exact weight was in the "before" but we are in stunning St. Thomas, USVI and how sad that didn't even enjoy it...because I hated me :( ....guess I will have to have the ole hubster take me back when i reach goal...lol :)


HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING GREAT!! XOXOXOXOXOXO
