Amy, sorry to hear such bad news...sending lots of ciberhugs your way.

Keep your head up and only time (not food) will heal your pain.

Love,

Almost Turkey day!  How are we going to fair this year?  Last year I at too much and my pouch let me know it by making me miserable the rest of the day.   Gonna have to remember to take it slow and easy this year. 

For today:
B-mocha protein shake
S-coffee w/ SF creamer
L-chili
S- turkey rollup w/ cream cheese
D- could have scrambled eggs again but may have some soup...depends on what the Babe wants to eat.  He like to help scramble and crack open the eggs so we will probably end up with that.
S- yogurt

I am a serious night eater.  Not that I wake up to eat in the night, but after dinner...I want nothing more than to graze all night.  My 4 YO is doing the same thing.  Only he just skips dinner altogether half the time and just wants to snack all night.  A bite here, a bite there.  I don't want to make food an issue but I don't know how to fix this either.  If I say no he cries and says he is hungry.  He is a little guy and is considered small/on the verge of under-weight for his age so I usually feel like I need to let him eat something.  But then he doesn't fini**** and wants something different.  this goes on 5 times a night I swear.  And, being me, I hate to see food wasted.  All I see is $$$ going in the trash.  I know the problem is more me than him so I am trying to work on this.  Last night he had 2 oatmeal cookies, ate one and then said he was done.  Instead of throwing the other away or putting it in a ziploc...what did I do? I ate it.  then he wants a hot dog 5 minutes later.  Try to say no because he never finished eating the cookie but then give in and let him have the hot dog cause well he's hungry!  See the cycle here?

SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WILL BE IN MY PRAYERS DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME.

WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY
MINI ME

Sorry you are hurting.  Hope they get it taken care of and you get home soon!

Amy

Hi, Elaine.  Glad I don't have any of that kind of rice cake...it would be hard for me to turn them down.   Haven't logged food for days, just been too busy.  Done a lot of grazing and almost no exercise but on my feet working constantly the last few days getting ready for the holiday.  You know how it is....

Doing much better today but my weight was up two pounds this morning.  Monday nights are awful, I have to try very hard to keep it somewhat under control.  Here's so far:

--sf lactaid latte, 1 frigo light mozz stick
--1/2 cup 0% fage yogurt, 1/4 cup granola
--1 cup veggie 'casserole', 1 sf choc. 'cupcake'  (this made me sick)
--another sf choc. cupcake, 1 frigo light  mozz stick 
--1 banana (grazed over an hour)
projected dinner: a package of shirataki tofu noodles w/teriyaki sauce, chicken sausage and veggies
lots of tea...I'm so cold!

Tomorrow...short shift at work followed by a long afternoon waiting for auto repairs.  Blech...
