Hmmm.. me and baby weighed this morning... expecting to see a big jump in weight. Newp.
Still 155 (and trust me, I've been eating!)
Breakfast: 2 whole wheat Eggos w/ SF Mrs. Buttersworth syrup
Lunch: 3 oz short ribs and 2 tablespoons mashed potatoes
Snack: big slice of blackberry pie (get the sweet craving gone)
Dinner: making a pot of chili..but super sleepy after being woke up most of the night by husband coughing, so dinner will be a late night affair tonight

Topic: Saturday accountability
Since I wa off yesterday I thought I would get way off-track...instead I ended up somewhat miserable by the end of the day.
My day went great....had my fried onion chicken for dinner...was very yummy. Maybe too yummy. I know I did not eat too much but must hve eaten too fast (did I say it was yummy?) or a bite too big or something. Felt okay for a little while..started drinking my water about an hour after dinner....but then I knew what was going to happen....do you know the feeling? The small rock in my chest (this feeling isn't so bad now as it was as a new post op) and then the foamies.
After nearly 2 years you would think these eppisodes would no longer occur. Not that I have had too many over the last 2 years but to have even one this far out is just weird to me. I am kinda greatful. At least I know the pouch is still there and my stoma is still "normal" .
Gonna take it easy today. Feeling blah...after last night and then T.O.M. showed up this AM so now vcrampy on top of everything else! Sometimes Mother Nature really can be a b!t@h!
B- protein coffee (I made carmel drizzle Folgers coffee grounds then mixed a scoop of choc protein powder in a half cup of soy milk with my fiber until smooth, combine and viola: chocolate caramel protein coffee)
S- Maybe a Baby Bell cheese round...or more coffee
L- chili
S-yogurt
D- not sure (family coming down from OKC to watch football game at Dad's and they always do something for dinner, not sure what is on the menu)
S- yogurt w/BB's
Have a good one!

I got on the scale this morning as I can not stay away as it calls me:)
No, everything you said was RIGHT so I am not offended at ALL. I think the calender is a WONDERFUL Idea and I just might have to try that.
I so wanted to be at goal or closer then I am at almost 2 years out but I have NO one but myself to blame!!
Please do not EVER feel that you can not respond to a post of mine..wither I agree or disagree with what you say I still need/want to hear it:)
Hugs!!!!!
HW 358
SW 338
Lowest 240
Last week 250 (I think)
Today 252 (down 3 from FAT MONDAY)

My name is Elaine and I am a PB addict. I think I need to stop buying it. But with a 4 YO in the house how do I not have PB around? He loves it, I love it. Our relationship with it is almost obsessive! He will it by the spoonfuls. He is by no means overweight, in fact almost too small for his age (the WIC office has has me bring him in for extra weigh-ins because he is just small). I could too but I don't. I put it on a rice cake cause I also need the crunch factor and it prevents me from eating 1000 calories worth of the stuff in a sitting! But I find myself wanting to eat PB rice cakes at every meal! Every meal! I don't, mind you. But, I could easily live on the stuff. If there were a food shortage, as long as I had PB I would survive!
On to my day!
B- Mocha protein shake
S- coffee w/ SF creamer
L- beans w./ sausage
S- one (only one) PB rice cake
D- turkey rollup (I really need to get in more veggies...)
S- yogurt w/ BB, granola
Have a good one!

Diana,
A little word of encouragement and some advice...
I sooo feel for you and the struggle. We have all been there...if you read my Accountability yesterday you'll see I was fighting with stupid frosted cookies that I finally had to destroy.
I know early on we are all told to stay off the scale because it can be so frustrating not to see it move when we all know early on it has no choice but to move. But, as far out as we are it is a daily struggle to get it to move. I may make it seem easy but it is far from that for me. I fight it every day. At my one year appointment my surgeon suggested weighing once a day everyday just before getting in the shower. Contrary to what we were taught early on he likes for us to keep an eye on it and to stay alert.
I have done what he suggested. I have a calendar on the back of the bathroom door and write down every day what I weigh. If I go up a couple of pounds in one day I know it is physically impossible to actually gain that because I know even if I ate 2 frosted cookies I did not eat 7000 or 10, 000 calories (it takes 3500 additional calories to gain a poind). Most likely it is water weight because of the added salt in my bad food or the extra carbs/sugar. In a couple of days I am back to normal.
What I am getting at is this: Instead of avoiding the scale. Embrace it. I know when I weighed 392 pounds #1 there wasn't a home scale that could weigh me but #2 I avoided it because I did not want to see the number. Today, I see that weight everyday. Even if I don't like it becaue it is up, I still get on it again the next day. For me, avoiding it would be too much like my old avoidance tactic and could very easily put me back in my old situation.
Love your scale...even when you hate it because it will keep you honest with yourself.
I hope I did not overstep my bounds and I hope I did not offend you. If I did...just tell me to mind my own biz!
