Good Morning Calif....Welcome to WWW

Please put me down for 3 pounds this week.  That is 42 pounds in 7 weeks.  I was hoping to be at 45 by now, but I will take 42!!!

I gave into my inner muncher yesterday.  My day royally sucked yesterday and I allowed myself to stress eat.  Not good.  I've been figuring out other ways to deal with boredom at work, but obviously I need to learn how to deal with stress and anxiety a little better.  Luckily it was rather controlled and the food I munch on was healthy, but that is still not a good thing. UGH!

Thanks everybody for sharing here today on WWW.

Great loss so far sweetie, woo hoo!!!  the munchies and anxiety or boredom eating happens to all of us, so don't sweat it. The fact that you are aware of it is a good thing. As long as you just bounce back from it and not let it get you down, you are good. The great thing about our tools is out of control isn't like it use to be and like you said it is usually healthier food, so AMEN for our tools. The surgery is on our stomachs, not our heads and we all deal with that demon, probably forever!!!
I'm so sorry you are miserable at your job, that sucks. I will keep you in my prayers for something better to come along.
keep up the good work honey, you are really rockin your tool!!!    bigg huggs, Becky

Hi Becky,
Thaks for the kinds words and encouragement. I was bored today at work, but I didn't munch over it. Yipee! Instead I sucked on a sugar free lifesaver for a couple of hours and tried to think of other things.  It worked today!

My biggest challenge seems to be when I am at my desk at work. Now that I know that, I can use other tools like you said.
Thanks again!

Just a quick note before I have to get back to work. I am down 3 lbs this week.

Great Shout Out Luana....very nicely done!  I sorta cleaned the laptop..had my tech guy come out and set up a couple of programs I needed, upgraded AVG antivirus and then spent the day running  scans to be sure all bugs and vermin were outta the computer.  Spent this morning running the same scans on the desk top I moved into the old office...using it as a 'network server' for the membership database which everyone in the office accesses.  My only question? WHEN did I become the 'techy' in the office????  I'm really not all that smart when it comes to the computers :-(

I am reporting a .5lb lose...should have been more; started out great last Thursday but I let my mind play games about the food and portions I was allowing...darn lucky I didn't end up with a gain~!   Think it is time to set myself down and do some serious analyzing of my 'stinkin' thinkin' '....I'm sabotaging my efforts...gotta figure out why.  And it would be so easy to blame outside influence...but, in reality, it's me!  MoMo said it so perfectly yesterday...I have the power to succeed...now I just need to ALLOW myself LOL

Enough down-trippin'....this forum is the greatest place on earth! EVEN over Disneyland! LOL  You all are the best!  Be nice to yourselves today,.,you ALL deserve it!

Hey Cali! 

put me down for a    1/2 pound  loss....better than nuthin I guess lol .

Morning Lu and Cali crew!  Thanks for the shout out Lu. I am not home yet, at my mommy's till Sat.
I don't usually participate in WWW because I have been up and down the same 5 pounds for at least 6 months. I know it is going to be months before I get to my current weight, with all the swelling, but for now the scale says I have left the 180's, hopefully for good. I weight 179.1 this morning on my mom's scale. I weighed 185 the morning of surgery on the hospital scale.
so Chris you can put me down for down 5 pounds!!!! woo hoo, long time since I lost that much weight at once. I don't think I will ever make it to my goal weight of 150, but that is ok, it's just a number on the scale. I'm happy with my body and size, now swollen, so it's all good!!!
Everyone have a great day!!!   bigg huggs, Becky

You go you tiny skinny thing!  I am so jealous of that flat tummy!  I want to yank out your other drain can I go with on Monday?  PLEEEEEEESE!   Thanks for the other thing too I needed it a bunch.  Please don't bite anyone today, that is not a way to make freinds and influence people!  But I still love you, and guess what?  The lipstick came out of my shirt, so you are off the hook!  Hope you are having a restful time at your mom's  Enjoy yourself and call me soon.

Morning all

I don't usually post here anymore, but I did want to say a special "Hey!" to you Lu, for doing the post this a.m. and seems like more frequently.  The more things change, the more they stay the same.  I remember when you started the morning shout out long ago, and then you got tired of it and I took it over for a while and then I took the second job and handed it over to ????.  I can't for the life of me remember who took it after me, then Janine took it after them, if I remember it right.  Anyway, just wanted to recognize you, Ms. Lu, from us old timers.  Remember Darrol posting "be good to yourselves" everyday.  Remember Ms. Vickie and her reports on her hubby who was deployed.  Think wayyyyy back to Ms. Marta, C.S., Kristen, Kristin, Mikey, Steph, JudyAnne, Sheryl, Stacie, Nadine, etc.   

Ahhhh, the old days.  Now we have a new crew with a few oldie moldies thrown in.  It is way great to see new friendships developing all the time with the "newer" faces on the boards.

Have a great day to all.  Thank you, Lu, for taking over for Janine while she takes her well-deserved break. 

Hey there lady,

sorry we won't get to see you next week.  Oh well there will be other times.  Personally I can't wait to go.  I'm so looking forward to it.  Have a good trip and enjoy the success of your son.  I'm sure you must be over the top filled with pride.

Love ya,
Steph

P.S.  some of us old timers are still around from time to time. We just stand in the background with our security blankets wrapped tightly around us observing.  It's a cold world in OH land sometimes.
