Topic: RE: Question of the Week
I have found out that I am worth it! I deserve good things. I know it sounds funny, but before my surgery I took the crap people handed out to me, because I figured it was better than nothing. I now know it is not, and I deserve better. This is a very hard thing to change and not let people walk all over me and crap on me. Now I try and avoid those people and not beat myself up over it.

I learned that I really am a stress eater. I always through that I truly ate because I was truly hungry and now I know that is not always the case. Guess I need to find a new thing to channel my stress into that does not go into my mouth.
Topic: RE: Question of the Week
For me, it was....I always thought once I met my weight goal I would be happy ALL-THE-TIME!! I met the goal of losing weight and now I'm skinny...how can I NOT be happy? There are still so many stressful aspects of my life (right now my kids.) Some days I feel I can't control my boys. Then my girls like to point out I "always give them a break." I can't win. Lately I feel as if no one cares about what I say or how I feel. Makes me feel quite inadequate as a mother. I also feel like I take my anxiety/stress from the kids right to my husband and that's not fair to him. So, all I can do is try to be a better mother and wife. What a downer I am!

One thing... Hmmmm, there are so many. - Since I reached my goal weight, I've discovered that my weight as well as my physical and mental health must continue to be my top priority! Without it nearly everything in my life is negatively impacted.. (i.e my relationships, health, work, self confidence.. the list goes on). I know it will be a constant work in progress but I'm prepared. My plan is to continue to work hard, maintain awareness and live a life of moderation and forgiveness.
Great post Martha!

Topic: RE: IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!
OK, just getting to the computer today. Morning in a different office always throws me.
So, the plan
Breakfast: Shake with orange crystal light (yeah, I still don't like shakes... icky!)
Lunch: Chili w/ tortilla chips (work lunch.. thank God for chili)
Dinner: Burgers (at least that's what I have planned for the ground beef in the fridge!)
Yesterday went alright. Ate pretty close to plan. Did have a fudgesicle after dinner though.. .no sugar added of course ;)
Activity was a little lacking. mowed the lawn in 45 minutes. Used to take me twice as long!! While I'm glad it takes less time, I'm kinda bummed I don't get as much activity time in doing it :(
Tonight the plan is to hit up the gym for as long as I can take it. Hubs has work tomorrow so I'm on kid duty and wont be able to go to the gym. If I'm good I might be able to convince him to go for a bike ride.
You 2 enjoy the run :) Think of me slacking off for motivation ;)

Topic: Question of the Week
Okay, something a little different to mix things up!!
What is one thing you discovered about yourself through your weightloss journey? This can be for post and pre surgery people.
I found that it is very difficult for me, even after 2 years, to put myself first. I still find myself doing what is better for my work, family or friends, and sometimes even my dogs! I am also finding it very difficult to change this behavior although I am trying.

Hi all!!!
Well it is Friday, and for me this will be an interesting day. We are now moving the 60 boxes of dead files that I have worked on all week to storage. I really had an upper body workout yesterday! Lunch will be late, so I am making sure I have snacks to carry me through.
Breakfast: Greek yogurt with a small amount of granola.
Snack; Baby bell cheese (2) and kashi crackers (8). Is that better Dave??
Lunch: Steak fajita with a small amount of lite cheddar cheese
snack: Pure protein bar (yes I am hooked. Still like the oh yeah bars though)
Dinner: Gary is likely cooking tonight, but I think I am going to take out something to give him an idea!
Hope to go to the gym tonight for the 4th day. Level two of the couch to 5k kicked my butt last night!
