Thank you girls! Yesterday I sat with some of the packaged food in front of my computer and gross some of the chemicals that are in the stuff we eat is found in plastic,,also are components of glue, and some of them are also used in floor polish and finish. Can't beleive the food industry is aloud to call their product food, some of the stuff I looked up at more plastic ingredients then actuall food. I am so going back to real butter, no more plastic crap for me. I don't want to force my views on everyone...if you are stuck on a plateau I think you should start looking up the pre packaged snacks you are eating, in the research I read alot of chemicals contains fat and that fat is not accounted for in the nutritional value so the calories written on the package should be much higher. If I do start a new Diary I will put the name on my last entry here.....Still don't know what to call it but I will find something!

Good morning.
Ok so I will start with my weight in......I am at 173.5 so I gained a little in the last 2 weeks but I think most of it comes from this week, I didn't plan my meals and I ate out a lot. I was on holidays for 2 weeks and this week I was just trying to get back in the swing of things and I had some emotional stress so I am gonna take the gain and run with it. Next week will be a much better weight in, and I am buying a new outfit too since after that I will have to drive an hour to buy decent clothes. The only store in the town I live is Giant Tiger quality is just not there, their shirts are not bad but the pants no way. I am hoping the next week will just fly by, so that my days as a receptionist will be over. I am now giving out my email to a few of my co workers cause I would like to keep in touch with a few people. I will be on here still mabe just not all day for 8 hrs...on the weeks I work at 9 am I should have time to update in the morning and the weeks at 8 I will uptdate in the evening. I need the support I found on here and I would miss my forum friends if I stopped comming on here!
Breakfast
egg sandwich 9pts
coffee 2pts
lunch
chef salad with chicken 5pts
snack
yogourt 2pts
18 pts before diner so 5 pts for diner very doable!
Salad again but with legumes it will take all 5 pts.

Hey Veronique - it's only a small gain and probably just from the extra salt from the take out food. Nothing you can't get off next week!! That's exciting to get the Wii game for your birthday - I hope you get lots of use out of it. I need to hook up my Wii fit this week and do some of the hola hooping. I used to do 12 minutes straight every day when I first got it and I could really notice a difference. I also liked the yoga on there so I just need to get it out again and put some batteries in it!
I'm starting holidays today so I won't be around much - just wanted to say thanks for always coming by my diary - it's been quiet lately but you never let me down!! If I get any opportunities to post while I am away I will be sure to see how you are doing so keep it up!! See you around the middle of Aug! Take care and I'll be thinking of you in the new job - hope it all goes smoothly!

I'm glad you're not taking the weight gain to a negative space inside. Too many people let something like that, a small weight gain, derail their efforts. The scale not moving, or moving backwards, is just a sign to step it up a little bit and stay on track. A couple weeks ago I had a 9 day plateau along with a 2 lb weight gain over night, even though I hadn't changed anything in my weight loss efforts. I just kept my feet on the path and kept going. A couple days later the 2 lbs dropped off, then a couple more days later I dropped an additional 3 lbs. Even though I didn't change anything! Sometimes it just seems like we're just being tested. lol
"I am gonna take the gain and run with it. Next week will be a much better weight in" - I love your positive energy. That will take you very far.

Thank you Stacy.....I have been in the 170's since march lol so I guess I have sort of hit a plateau but I think I have been in a funk cause of my job I hate it and that kind of put me in megative mode and that sucked the energy out of me.....but now that I have found a new job and less traveling I think it' is gonna help me break into the 160's and below!!!! I am gonna work very hard at being positive from now on cause I am starting to see that positivity attract positivity!!!!

Sounds like it might be time to shake things up a bit? Maybe change around some calories or try a new physical activity.
Awesome! You're very right about that! The law of attraction!

I think with the new job I will have more time to exercise, I will be spending about 1 hour and 20 min less each day in the car so I will have to make that part of my me time! I started feeling down in March and that reflected big time on my weight loss and I stoped exercising cause I was in a funk I have been digging mysefl out of there, it takes time I took the time to deal with my emotional stress and what was behind it and the fact that I hate my job so much and was wishing to be sick the next morning so I would not have to get up and go to work was really bad, I now have dealt with that. Also the financial stress was big but the new job will help with that too. Now I know that won't solve all my problems but the fact that I found what cause some of the stress and changed it. I plan on buying the Wii Fit in order to up my exercise a bit!!! Positive positive !!!!! On my way up (and down
... )

I just saw some of the posts and then went back to 26 July entry and saw it. You totally deserve this new job. I still need to catch up on the last two pages of your journal, but wanted to congratulate you before I dash off to my next meeting. So so so so happy for you.

We have owned the Wii for a couple of years now what we have done is buy rechargable batteries 3 sets that way there are always some good to go!!! We always buy rechargable cause half the kids toys a battery operated and disposable ones are bad for the planet and my wallet in the long term!
LOL! It's great to see you so positive! You're right, you're on your way up in life and down in weight!
Thank you!

Wow in 10 days I will be 31 wow how times flies. I am inviting a few friends over for a BBQ or something my bday falls on a saturday and last year I spent my bday alone (hubby was working nights) folding laundry cause we had like 10$ in a bank so I am gonna make up for it this year! Celebrate the new job and my birthday with a couple of close friends! Yesterday ended up being a not so good day foodwise I ended up eating fast food for lunch and then I was sick most of the night....that is what happends when your body is not used to eating this crap. It wasn't even good, I have to restart planning my meals...not that I will have a choice at the new job I would have to drive 20 min to find a restaurent and I think I have 30 min for lunch so that doesn't fit at all! Unless I stay at work and eat nothing but cheese lol cause I will be working at a cheese factory in the offices .....I don't see myself eating nothing but cheese cause I have difficulty digesting dairy in large doses so I will have to stick to bringing my lunch....The first day what do I bring ...I don't know if anyone on the staff had allergies! I will have to keep it simple the first couple of days!
Breakfast
oatmeal. pb 6pts
Green tea (my stomach is still feeling yesterdays' lunch) 0pts
Lunch
cup a soup 1pts
apple sauce 1pts
I have a couple more apple sauce snack pack thing and a cucumber an extra ccup a soup incase I get hungry. If I keep to what I have written down I will have like 15pts left for diner ...Yikes I could have a whole personal Pizza but I won't cause I don't think I could stomach it lol!
I will drink lots of water and mint green tea today that should help settle the stomach.

Happy early Birthday! Wow, cool, I'm 31 too (though I turned 31 almost 2 months ago). We're still the same age! Yay! You know everyone said that turning 30 would be really hard but 30 wasn't so bad for me. I guess it took a year to really sink in because for some reason when I turned 31 it finally hit me that I was a woman in her 30s. LOL! I still felt like someone in my 20s.
But because of my size people have always mistaken me for someone much older. When I was 17 and my bosses assistant mistook me for someone older than her (she was 24). I guess when you weigh nearly 300 lbs at age 17, you look a lot older than you are. Even in my mid 20s people mistook me for someone in their mid 30s. But I think that will change once I drop the weight. People don't really "see" you when you're fat. They don't really look at you, but rather through you like you are a non-entity. They see the size and guess your age by that.
I have a feelings there will be a lot of changes in the way people see me and treat me once I get closer to goal weight - it's a little scary, but it's kind of fun too.. like a social experiment! To see the difference in the way people treat you based on your size.

Veronique, you should totally celebrate birthday this year. Small affair, with family and friends. That's the way I like to spend birthdays too. You should make it extra special this year because you have a lot to celebrate- new job, birthday, really cool positive attitude and an amazing healthy lifestyle. When exactly is your b'day?

I hate when people judge "a book by it's cover". I used to be self concious about my weight, for me the hard part was accepting it. In grade school my teacher called my mom for special meeting cause they tought I sick or something cause I was so skinny, in 2nd grade I was around 50lb my bones used to stick out in my ankles it was grosse. When puberty hit my metabolism completely changed I used to be able to eat anything, and not gain an ounce, not after age 13....that is also the year I stopped firgure skating (I wasn't really good to start off ...too much of a chicken) so my activity level wasn't the same. My body developped over once summer I went from not needing a bra (girls used to pick on me cause I was flat), to needing c cups....my brother in law kept picking on me ( I guess he hadn't realized how much a young girl is sensitive) and then lost my best friend cause she started hanging out with the snoby girls and I didn't want to be friends with people who laughed at other girls. Food became my friend then.....Wish I could go back and talk to my teenage self and tell her to get off the couch and do something productive with her time....but knowing myself lol I wouldn't have listen! I am making this journey about me! I haven't told many people that I am trying to lose weight, only close friends and familly that is all. I am hoping people will notice but I am hoping more that I learn to accept my body strech mark and c section scare and all, if people treat me better cool but if not at least I am treating myself better.

That is true, I have much more to celebrate then I did last year.....I am inviting people, I think I will hang out with friends have a bbq at home. I wanted to go out with the girls after but I don't even know where I would go, there is nothing close to home it would be an hour drive to anywhere!
The big day actually falls on a saturday this year!!! August 14
