uggg...I blew it tonight...sheesh. I was down 2lbs this morning..Tomorrow is my official weigh-in.<img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_19_1.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"><img border="0" src="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fimgfarm%252Ecom%252Fimages%252Fnocache%252Ftr%252Ffw%252Fsmiley%252Fsocial%252Egif%253Fi%253D36%252F36_19_1/image.gif">

I'll be glad when my daughter has landed in Italy. This is going to kill me ...or to be more honest , My diet.

Ok, tomorrow is another day. I think I may do 6 supplements tomorrow. I don't want to take the chance of over eating. Perhaps if I don't eat and just do my supplements, i'll be able to keep the emotional eating at bay.

uggg..I can't believe I did it!!! I would lose so much more weight if I would just stay compliant and stick to the plan!! What is my problem??? eating disorder? ugggggggggggggg

I am certainly not the best one to give advice, but in the past a 6-0 has helped me feel like I was getting that sense of control back. It just made "eating" not an issue for a day. So I might try it but give yourself permission to have a L&G if you are too hungry, rather than eat off-plan.

OH thanks Biki,
Thats what I was thinking too. It will also help to get my body back on track with the weight-loss. Deprivation is always a good thing...(dripping with NY sarcasm)

Today is my weight-in. I can't believe I blew it last night.

I'm down 1lb. I was down 2lbs. But, I'm happy with the mercy and grace of still being down 1lb. I'll take it!!

I'm so aggrevated at myself. If I would just stay on track , i'd be losing 3lbs a week. Oh well, I guess this is a learning process and i'm eating not just to lose weight but to change my eating forever!!

I just wish i'd get the hang of this sooner. Patience is a "fruit of the spirit" that I lack in this area. Which, in and of itself, may be the reason i'm not doing well. Perhaps the Lord has another lesson in store for me?

I have also found that 6-0 doesn't necessarily mean you drop weight the next day. I did one yesterday and zilch. Sometimes you do see a nice drop though.

[HappyHomeMaker]

I agree...sometimes It can take my body up to three days to get back into ketosis.

But great things can happen in 3 days...

[ChynnaDoll]

DITTO to what Mike said Laura:+)))...you'll get it right girl...just keep on shakin'!

AMEN Mike!!

Today I did great...I'm back on track!! I exercised and i'm actually going to start going back to the "Y". We use to go, but we got busy. This is a great time of the year for me to start back. I like exercising and i'm good about doing it at home, but I tend to push myself more when I'm taking the classes at the gym.

My daughter is in Italy!! She called me and she is safe and sound on the ground...that always makes me feel better. Other then alot of mosquito bites she was doing well. She's sleeping in tents in Italy and when they go over to Spain, she'll be sleeping on a gym floor. Oh to be so young and have a good back!!
I love when people ask me what hotel she's staying in...I'm like...she's on a mission trip not vacation.

So far my emotional eating is stopped. I'm hoping and praying for it to NOT return. I hate when I do emotional eating. It's not the eating that bothers me, it's the lack of control.

Today was a good and compliant day...I'm going to try to go 10 straight days...that is my goal.

Happy: Today was a good and compliant day...I'm going to try to go 10 straight days...that is my goal.

Good goal, HAPPY. Actually one day at a time works good, too!
Remember my little saying, "If I don't take the first bite off plan, I will be fine."
Your daughter will be fine, too. I know you are very proud of her. So am I.

I love that expression of yours too. It reminds me of one we use in my 12-step program. It's not the caboose that kills you, it's the engine.

Hello All,
This is day two of being totally compliant!!! I feel good, but tired. It's so hot here in NY. I'm drinking a ton of water and I have central air!!
That's probably why i'm not so hungry.

Today my son and I went to work at the csa farm. We join every year and we work at it 3 hours a week. Usually it's about an hour for all three of us, my daughter, son and me. Now that Steph is away it's an hour and a half and boy did I sweat!!

I hope everyone is having a great day. I'll check back in later.

Hello All,
I'm so upset. last night while dh and I were at church someone tried to break into our home. My ds was home. ds = dear son

The person knocked on the front door, my ds went to answer it and unlocked the door thinking it was our friend who is doing our basement...when ds turned the lock, the guy was pushing on the door...my ds acted quickly and pushed back and locked the door. The guy went to our back deck with our sliding glass doors, my ds went and had locked them. the guy had a drill....I'm sick to my stomach. My ds went upstairs and got our shot gun, the guy was still on our back deck at our sliders cursing...my son showed him the gun and told him he had called the cops.

When the cop got there he searched the permiter of the house , but not our woods because a storm was coming. When dh and I got back from church our house phone was out so ds couldn't call us at church. The cop left his number and we called. I'm so upset!!!

We've never had anything like this happen. I feel so scared and I don't like feeling this way. I keep thinking what could've happened. I told my ds that i'm not leaving him home anymore alone. He's 15 years old...We live in an agriculural area so no one would hear or see a thing!!

I really feel our home isn't safe. We are the type who usually have their door unlocked. Now i've locked all the doors including the door from our garage to our basement and from our basement to our house.

I was so sick to my stomach I didn't get in all my supplements. I'm not worried. I thought I was going to throw up last night.

My friend is ready to go into labor any second and I do mean any second. She's 4cm dialated and totally effaced. I'm suppose to go over today. She always has home-births, but i'm making my son come with me...there's no way i'm leaving him home along.

Pray for me...I hate feeling tense and sick. I don't like not feeling safe in my own home.

[bikipatra]

What a terrible experience for your whole family but especially your son. You are all in my prayers!

[Tawanda]

What a frightening time and the fact that he had a drill along with sticking around for a long time. Bold. Must have been on drugs to have that kind of boldness and no fear attitude (until faced with the shotgun and the threat of the police showing up). Hopefully your police department has some photos of guys who are in the area and known to be repeat troublemakers and your son can identify him so the police might have a better chance of catching him?

I'd definitely keep the house doors locked and be more cautious. I hope your neighboring homes will be alerted so they can do the same. We've decided to buy a security video system that can record movement all hours of the day (infra-red at night) and records on a computer hard-drive. At least if someone breaks in, we'll know who did it. I do keep the doors & windows locked when home alone and it upsets me when DH leaves everything unlocked when he is here. Like a fellow similiar to who was at your house is just going to leave because DH tells him to, once he gets in through an unlocked door? Yeah right.

Hope the police dept. can give you some more tips on how to stay safe and that they catch the guy before he harms anyone.
