Topic: So... what's up ladies?
*hugs* to everyone! I miss you guys!
I am hearing lots of cries for help with their journies and I feel very bad that everyone is in the same boat right now and are struggling. I too struggle daily and have to keep it real by keeping myself in check and yes, I fall off the wagon more times than I care to admit but its getting back up and brushing ourselves off and starting over.. never giving up that matters!
Ok so lets be real.. ok? (If I am annoying any of you just tell me to go away.. seriously, I am sorry if I am, I wanna help!)
Lets ask these questions...
1) Why do we self-sabotage?
2) Why don't we stop self-sabotaging when we call ourselves on it? Why do we continue?
3) What is the positive feedback we get from eating other than the instant self gratification of the taste of the food?
4) In the end who does this hurt besides ourselves?
You don't have to answer publically if you don't want to but I ask u take a minute to ponder about these questions and do a little self-reflection.
I love you guys and miss you and hope you will stay close here.
*HUGS*

I am so glad you are ok Heather and your family. Yes, its murphy's law.. soon as you pay it off.. something happens. Happened with the last 2 cars I owned. I decided this time I was taking a 5 year instead of a 3 year loan on my car.. LOL.. guess what nothing so far! but I am still paying on it.. see how that works? haha.

Diana.. I know YOU KNOW you can do this. You are so strong. I have seen you and the others turn it around before and I know u can do it again. We all fall off the wagon here and there and as we get further out its harder to get back on but don't allow yourself to go backwards, your health and family depend on you to keep it going in the right direction. Please stay close to your OH dec family.. we are here for you!!!

Hi Amy! Please see the replies I gave the other gals.. same goes.. just start over tomorrow. It is a new day and you can change. You have a tool that never leaves you, you are blessed with it. You can use it and use it well, its there for you! No we may not have the restriction we once had but we know what we are supposed to do b/c we learned from each other and we can make it happen! Keep your body moving, cleanse with water, take your vitamins PLEASE you must.. if nothing else.. take those vitamins. You don't want to end up in the hospital while your husband and little ones are left alone while u are hospitalized or even worse.. not gonna say it.. u know what i wanna say. :(
Please Amy.. snap out of it, you are strong and a very awesome person that I see not use your tool to its potential. Don't go backwards, your health and your family depend on it. Stay close to your family here.. *hugs* we are here for you.

Hi Kerdeeya..
I can feel the tension and pain in your post.. Hugs. I am so glad you came back to see your family here on OH. We are here for you. None of us post as much as we used to (i am very guilty) but we are still around and pop in when we can. I am glad you admitted your problems and are willing to admit to it, own it.. now you can make changes. Start journalling again on fitday.com or sparkpeople and if you haven't before, now is a good time to start. It keeps you accountable. Get your body moving, drink you water and please please please take your supplements/vitamins if you aren't, too important for u not too.
You can do this.. wipe out the bad carbs and just get some good veggies and protein and eggs, low fat cheese down for a couple days and wipe the slate clean.. soon those carb monsters will be off your back again. Good luck and stay close to us here on OH.

Topic: RE: MIssing Cake?
Here is the nutritional breakdown using splenda granular - i count the carbs in splenda which is actually about 40 something of the carbs listed here. Yes, even splenda has carbs oh and i used a carton of egg beaters and 2 actual egg whites.

Topic: RE: PRODUCT ALERT!!!

For the longest time, all that was available of those products here was the devils food cake mix and the yellow one. Then I found the white cake mix at Wal-Mart and thought that was great. Tried their frosting in the tub...dump city! Oh well, thank goodness for your 'whip' frosting--it fills the 'need' for frosting plus contains protein which is a win-win. This brownie mix, however....really adds some possibilities to what a person can concoct for desserts. I bought two more of them today to stow in my pantry.
