My Newbie Brain - Long Post

I got all ****ed because folks were posting recipes and talking about food all the time (WTF!!! It's laughable now that I think about it.


OMG, I bumped heads with the recipe posting folks too!    I was convinced that they were twisted. 

Oh yes,,,,I just could not see the logic back then....I was like...I did not come on here to be enticed and tempted bla bla bla everyday....I thought it was hard enough just battling my own demon. But now I see that we really need to be able to expose ourselves to food and not be overwhelmed by it.....whether we like it or not...food is going to be around in one shape or fashion....we will be tempted but does not mean we need to concede to that temptation....   Thanks for posting SB!

Ladies, I have to say that I don't post much but I am a constant lurker!  I appreciate all the advice that you Vets dish out to us Newbies. It has helped me tremendously because I figure, who knows best? But just like everything else, your mom use to say when she was trying to help you because she had been there, done that, some people will forever be stubborn and have to push the envelope and find out the hard way!   Just want you all to know that I listen and want you all to keep putting in your two cents!!!

Hey Pretty lady...glad you came out of lurk mode to share yourself with us.....It does really help to be OPEN when on this road to recovery from obesity.  Take it easy.  

I must admit, yesterday's mess got me thinking about BAF and the direction it 's been flowing. 
It had me feeling some kinda way!

Today has been an eye opener for me.  Thank God it outshines the antics of yesterday!

This is just a very small sample of how things used to be up in here....raw, honest, real talk.  I really think that's whats needed sometimes to keep all of us on track and supporting each other.

Thanks BAF!

Now Kim - how many times have we been here before?  I mean - you know by now that BAF is a cycle - we ramp down, dust up, BLOW the **** up, calm down, get together.........

then do that shiot ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!

Admit it - you will never leave - cause if you do, you will turn into a lard azz cause we keep you on the straight and narrow and help you when you fall off - and if you need some entertaining - we got that too - and every now and again...... even a lil advice......

Girl, I wasn't leaving...I was just pissed off.  LOL

I KNOW I need that kick in the azz AND the tough love.

Hi Kim B,

I think that sometimes....we have to have a little pressure sometimes to blow the lids off the status quo.  I feel good today....just to be able to lay my stuff out there...really lifts the burden.  I hope you have a great day.  Thanks for posting.

Trying to eat everything just to see if it will make me dump. Finding out that the only thing that makes me dump is Turnpike Rest Area Food (Don't ask) and Chinese Food...everything else is still fair game.  Drinking soda, beer, wine, Peach Schnapps and other calorie laden beverages.  Stopping by McDs on the way to work and on the way home because I planned poorly..

WOOOOOOOOOOW!!!
IT'S ME OH LORD STANDING IN THE NEED OF PRAYER.
Everything you just posted is the truth and has been my reality for the last couple of months.
"If you don't plan, than plan to fail" 
This is so true.  This is why I haven't posted as well. I have been messing up. No need to post that crap, I just needed to change my behavior and get on track.


Thanks for sharing
