Good Morning...Well I made it through my hectic day yesterday and have another one today...It DEFINATELY helped to have been prepared ! I had my chicken at work at my desk and ended up drinking my last shake on my drive home at 8:30.

Although I have lost 12 lbs...I wonder how much more do I need to lose to really "feel" it and notice it myself...So far I just still feel like a blob !
:idontknow:

Maybe when you have as much to lose as I do, it takes a while to feel the weight loss on yourself !

Have a great day...Off to prepare my meals and wake up my little "sleeping beauty"- daughter... NOT DH !!

:!

There are still days I feel like a blob! It is so funny but when I was around 190 I thought I was the hottest thing. I never posted the pictures, just showed Joleen, but I thought I was a younger Madonna! It's like we go up and down on our body image.

The same thing happened last summer when I dropped 40+ pounds from MF...!! It gave me this powerful feeling and I though I was looking hot ! Did I ever say to myself, Hey Pam...You have lost 40 but you have 110 to go ! No...It gave me a false sense of looking good...Looking back I can say yeah, I felt a lot better with 40 lbs off, but I can't imagine what it feels like to have as much off as you have !

What's so funny is that I felt hotter then because it was so NEW. I hadn't seen myself that thin in years and my husband was saying how good I looked and I just blossomed! I look at the pictures now and I was still a big girl but I had confidence! Probably more than I have now!

Hi Pam. Glad to hear you made it through your hectic day yesterday. Consider that a win!

PAMMY, (hope it's okay to call you that)
You are doing great in your planning for'trigger' occasions.
Just do what works for you, like the L&G's, and you'll get there!

BTW, I want to jump in here on MARY's weight loss. A hundred pounds and only a couple pounds to go. Inspirational, huh, PAMMY?

That's such a good question ... and I know you will have the answer for yourself very soon

Actually, I responded to your question when you asked it in my journal

Go check it out.

So you feel like a blob? I've always wondered how a blob felt! :lol:

Just kidding. Sometimes it takes a while for our minds to catch up with our bodies. I was at a conference almost 2 weeks ago and caught my reflection in a mirror--only I did not recognize the image as me! I can assure you, you won't always feel like a blob. You are doing something wonderfully healthy for yourself and your body WILL respond favorably! Just give it time. You owe it to yourself.

Hi Pam

I've missed seeing you around the boards the past couple of days. I hope everything is positive in your world.

Take care,

Tracy

Haven't been able to hop on here in a bit..Thursday evening...can't sleep...It's been a very hectic week. I now have a terrible cold and head congestion, can hardly breath right , and have to work one more day before I can really rest. I have been compliant and have to force the supplements in-just don't have an appetite.

Will have to post again later...

Sorry to hear that, Pam...
I hope you feel WAY better, WAY soon!

queenielou · by **queenielou** » September 20th, 2007, 9:42 pm

I hope you feel better soon, too, Pam. Hopefully Friday will go by quickly so you can rest this weekend. Congrats on staying compliant even while you're sick.

bikipatra · by **bikipatra** » September 21st, 2007, 4:11 am

I'm sorry you don't feel well. Your schedule has been crazy and you have been getting up so early! Feel better soon!
