My weigh in day is Sunday, so I went ahead and set things up for Sept.
Hope everyone had a good week on the Beach. I'm working on setting things up to go ahead and restart P1 this week.

With really long work hours and J's hospital stay I've fallen back on a lot of convenience foods J has agreed to do this w/ me in an attempt to normalize his BG and eliminate cravings. When we move to P2 he will be able to see what foods are an issue for him. Right now, the way he is eating, it's only a guess as to which food on his plate has spiked his BG. Thing is, he is being really picky right now as we create a menu. I just want to whack him on the head!

Bad case of constipation and water retention combined with fried foods and a few slices of Bread got me balooning. I am starting Classes today and have to pack lunches, I hope I can figure something out to bring with me that doesn't need refridgeration.

I am where there is scales today so I weighed of course.. I am down to 196.0..not bad for being on vacation. If I remember correctly I was 201.2 when I left home on Sept 3rd. Now if I can just keep it off. I leave for home on the 18th.

Not much on the weight loss front this week. This should change as we move into P1 later this week. I've stopped eating at work; instead I am back to taking snacks with me. Even though I wasn't eating our high carb options, the sauces I was using for my salads and as dips for our protein options are pretty crappy nutritionally. Just eliminating this much has me less bloated and not gaining

Hope everyone had a good week on the Beach.

Hi,
I'd like to know why this got yout stuck?
I'm asking because I've seen you go through this same cycle several times over the years. I'd like to help you move beyond it.

This isn't my official weight for the week, but I'm putting it down anyway. I've just finished a 12 day course of prednisone for my back. I'm very sensitive to it and as a result the swelling is quite severe (the 13lbs is after using a prescription diuretic).

I'm hoping that by putting this here, I can maybe help someone else who may be in a similar situation. There was a time when a gain like this would have me hating/punishing myself. I would either severely restrict food or binge/purge in an attempt to get back to "normal". At the time I couldn't see that I was hurting myself.

By adhering to the principles of SB, and with the support of people like Judy, I have been able to create a better relationship with food. I was able to lose 100lbs and maintain that loss over the past 4 yrs. I've not been perfect, there have been times that I have used food as a means of punishing myself for what I perceive as short comings. Even so, I have stuck with my WOE and see/feel the rewards of it everyday.

If you are struggling, know that you aren't alone. We have all been there at some point. Don't beat yourself up over something you have no control over. You control your life, life doesn't control you.

Time to update the list, even though I am not losing, quite the opposite, I am hoping to get back on track soon. Just too much going on at the moment that has my attention away from the weight and eating.

wow no one has been back here since October! It is now middle of December, I just had a Birthday last week and I am almost back up to my highest weight. Holiday stress, Job stress of my Hubby's and me getting ready to go back to school is piling the pounds back on. School Spring Semester starts January 17th, taking 3 classes this semester and want to see how that goes before I add more classes. I also have applied for another job which is just part time, but it will help with the bills if I get it. I hope with me being out of the house almost all day I am getting a chance to eat better. Being at home at the moment and eating everything in side out of boredom is NOT good. So here is to my New Years Resolution, get back on track for the New Year. A Skinny me in 2012, Who is with me?

Oh Judy I have been going back and forth and back and forth over the past few months, I think I have to eliminate one thing at a time and work my way backwards instead of eliminating everything and adding things back in. So I will eliminate a few things off the start that I know for sure I can do easily. Alcohol, and Fried foods. Will drink more water and eat more veggies and fruits and protein. Chocolate and Pasta will be next, I will switch over to the Whole Grain pasta and Whole Grain Bread until a bit further down the road, I know I will have to stop them altogether, but I have tried it to eliminate at first and then add things back in and was left feeling very unsatisfied and cheated because of it. So eliminating it slowly until I am rid of it for good. It is worth a shot to try it this way
