I'm Fessing Up

Ok....I'm gonna fess up...I fell off the diet wagon. I went to the fair last night...didn't eat too much, but what I did eat was all carbs, and then again I was eating mac&chez and green beans and rice and barely no meat today for lunch and then grazed on the left over lunch the rest of the day. I am going to the fair again tomorrow...so I know I'm not gonna be good because I saw a sign for "Poorman's Apple Pie" that I am just gonna have to get tomorrow. It sounded soo soo good, and I would have gotten it last night but I couldn't eat anything else at that point and if I brought it home the ice cream would have melted....so you see why it is a must do tomorrow. I'm pitiful I know!!!

How are you doing Jen, Mary??? And anyone else that started the diet this week???

Wish yall well.

Jen

Girl how do you eat so much? I can't eat half that much in a week let alone a day. I don't do sweets at all unless they are SUGAR FREE and I tend to stay clear from as much carbs as possible. I should have joined in on that diet I really would just love to get these last 10 lbs off. I think they are wanting to stay with me for some odd reason. *SIGH* Anyways have fun at the fair again tonight and enjoy that pie. After all your bday is coming up so you can say it's a early birthday treat. LOL

Even when I was in the hospital the barium test went straight thru my pouch. I personnaly think that shouldn't happen but Dr. Bryne said it was Ok...even though they did 2 barium tests on me too. I don't ever stay full, but I also like to sample everything not eat it all just a little of this and that. I lost a total of 7 lbs and I'm up a lb this morning which isn't bad. I'm glad that I havent put it all back on and hopefully it will stay off and even more will continue to come off as think this was a platue buster for me. I started the diet to get back to the basics so I am definetely going to try it again in a few days because i need to get myself back on track.

Hey Jen,

 

    I stayed away from the fair so did well.  I lost 7 pounds and dumped yesterday on a potato, that hasn't happened in a long time.  I'm going to do it again starting Wednesday so that hopefully I will end up at my goal.  My pouch is definately more sensitive again which is great!!! Mary

Susan and I are starting the diet today. I found out yesterday that I think I can eat sugar .  I hate that.  Susan made some "homemade" bannana pudding for her mom and I had to try it....twice.  I didn't feel funny at all, just guilty.  Besides that, I stay away from sugar too.  I don't drink diet drinks, Dr. Byrne said they strech your pouch back out.  I drink alot of coffee and tea and water and crystal lite.  I drink all the time.   We went to the fair and I wanted a sausage dog with peppers and onions.  I was not paying $7.00 for one though, and not be able to eat but 2-3 bites.  So the next day I made some at home and they were soooo goooood.  I didn't eat any of the sweet stuff.  I am so afraid of being in the public and dumping.   Sometimes I go to Wal-mart and get something sugar free that is sweet, but I only want one or two bites and the kids eat it. Let's see how long I last on this diet. Deb

Well Jen, hang in there and don't beat up on yourself.  For those of us who like to have a drink or two, that is just as bad....they just don't seem to remember that!

We all have bad days....

BTW, your Dad is messing with me, so I am having a very hard time typing.  See you tonight!

The alcohol calories certainly add up.  I had a slip up last night and am paying for it in more ways than just the scale!!! Welcome Back Susann and Jenn, let me know when you want to retry, I'm in.   Mary

Girl.....I understand your pain.  I feel like I eat way too much.  I know that I do!!  I also like to drink beer and even though "ultra lite" beer is only 96 calories when you have 5 or 6 it is like 600 calories!!  Holy Crap!!! 

I have had to say no to beer.   It was a waste of calories....don't get me wrong....I was looking forward to my nighly beer, or 2, or 3... but I just had to stop it....besides it cost to much to do that!!! 

I had gained like 3 or 4 lbs since July :(  I'm working my butt off to get it off....well I think I am.

I can eat  so much and I have gotten into the bad habit of drinking AND eating.  This is gonna be a struggle for the rest of our lives....Get out your boxing gloves.

Thanks Rachel. I do know I'm not the only one that fights with this on a daily basis. I have to work on that thing called "Willpower" and make myself do better. That's what got me into this mess to begin with right.

What's that saying about " I didn't get this way in 1 day and it can't be cured in 1 day either".

Thanks for the encouragement.

Jen
