DAY 53 AGAIN

BESIDES THE FACT THAT I AM REALIZING YOU GUYS HAVE SENT THAT FRIGGIN PMS BUG OVER THIS WAY!!! What???? i don't even normally suffer from PMS but it is that TOM next week. A little moody. I'VE LOST 23.SOMETHING LBS...WHY DO YOU WANNA KNOW????

Hey Erica,
How much weight HAVE you lost?
I had to...sorry.

I wish I could relate to how you feel. I know that when I hear that question its coming from folks who know. What I have been tired of in the past is when I haven't lost any and they say that I look different and that I've lost more. Are they REALLY seeing me, or is it that they know I'm trying and are just being nice?

Anyhow... just had to razz you a bit, before Kym had the chance.

Hi Erica! I am so glad the day went WELL for you yesterday and i see the same has happened today:+)))...so PROUD of you girl and your current mindset focusing on the ultimate end product.

LOL, THANK GOD i don't haf'ta worry about sending'ya that darn PMS you mentioned in a later entry...had my insides yanked out back in 1985..lol! s- i -g -h (sorry to be so graphic) cause it can be a "RB" in many ways..believe me i DO remember.

OH GAWDDD i too HATED when people use to ask me weight related questions and maybe they WERE just trying to be nice BUT just don't ask'me ok...maybe i was rude to some sometimes...lol!

BUT, something even WORSE than that happened to me back when i was heavier or i should say FAT, and i'tell'ya the truth, the IMPACT that i incurred from it has managed to stay with me even NOW..it has lasted in my mind allllll this time...ok, i hadn't seen this person for quite awhile and i ran into her one day...she looked me up and down and said "WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED TO YOU????????"...well i was totally SPEECHLESS knowing deep inside what she was referring to...i was sooooo HURT..little did she know it was her BROTHER that helped cause me to BLOWUP like a Macy's balloon by eatin' myself ta'death...i was totally "in love" with the man at that time but he was not at my level in thinking and continued to sow his wild oates...well to make a long story short, i ended marrying him afterall (pics in my journal) but for her to say WHAT she said and HOW she said it, girl now that i look back on it i should have BEATEN HER A@@...at least i would've gotten some exercise..so i don't know what's the worst, people asking or just saying something totally OBNOXIOUS! Please forgive me for hijacking your journal Erica but your question just triggered something in me...i'll NEVER do this again+)

maybe i'll go have one of your crackers:+))))

Hi there Kym!...you guys are tooooo funny!

Chynna~

[ChynnaDoll]

here i am again girl..lol!

Now tell me, who is "Ovaries"?????...i KNOW i've missed ALOT!...lol!

Chynna~

That would be me!! You will see me referred to as "ovary chick, OC, lively ovaries, LO, and sometimes just plain old ovary(ies)" and probably a few others... if it has an ovary reference, it's probably me. It originally came from sojo who, when she looked at my screen name, she saw something with "ovaries" so in her head, she referred to me as "ovary chick" (this was before putting my real name in my profile). After i added "Erica", sojo confessed to the "ovary chick" name in her head and it just stuck. C-gal saw "lively ovaries". I'm sure others had seen similar but never said anything. Anyway, it's all in fun and outta love so i answer to it.

LOL, after your very 1st sentence i said to myself "GIT"OUTA here!!!..that's Erica"???????..then when i read further and saw Miss "Thang" (Sojo) was the originator of OC everything clicked (i gave'er that Miss Thang name ya know) but nobody but her would come up with that lol...i love'a ta death:+))

NO MORE tonight...

Erica -

Thanks so much for stopping by - you are doing great!

[lifelovinaries]

chynna, girl, i gotta say that your sis-in-law picked the right one becuz i think i woulda had to start whippin her behind, and probably wouldn't have stopped til i reached goal!! ...but look at you now...NOW what does she have to say?

[lifelovinaries]

ok, i woke up this morning, excited about stepping on the scale. Then i had to think again...NOPE, YOU ARE NOT WEIGHING TIL SUNDAY! but as i set out for my morning potty mission, i looked at my scale, preparing to remove my pajama bottoms and step on. I needed a little self talk to get me thru this one. I figured it would be ok to step on and get a little preview of what my sunday roll call might bring. Then i convinced myself that i needed to hurry up and go drink a WHOLE BUNCH of water to make the scale inaccurate so i still wouldn't be able to tell. Finally i said STOP!!! I had to regain control becuz those inner voices were trying to take over again. I just took a deep breath, washed my hands and walked outta the bathroom. NO, i will NOT go drink a bunch of water, i just WOULD NOT step on the scale. PERIOD. No more fighting with myself, those little voices can go to H-E-double hockey sticks! I made the decision to not weigh til Sunday, and thats what i will stick with. HMPH! Now i feel better. Off to have my cappuccino!

I just love you, Erica! A nice crazy chick who will own up to it! Makes me feel right at home.

Have ya ever noticed how those voices seem to get LOUDER when you're doggin me?

Just one of those things that makes ya go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Congrats for winning the battle with yer inner brat!

[lifelovinaries]

at this very moment, i have just decided on a name for my inner brat...KYM! Seriously though, i am glad that your scale has started the downward slide again. I am anxious to see what tomorrow brings for me.

Ya know, being a middle school teacher... reading these journals makes me feel right at home.

[lifelovinaries]

science guy...it's all about making EVERYONE feel comfortable and at home! Wow, we went a step up in my perceived maturity level, i thought we might be classified as elementary. they never taught kym to be nice in kindergarten! who knows what will come about next!

[Mike]

Erica,
According to my wife, who has experience in both realms, the biggest difference is that middle schoolers have a quicker wit and are more likely to use it. Whereas elementary students are more likely to hit and run.... and tattle. So congratulations, other than the question about who is most evil, you qualify as middle school.

You ain't on that scale yet???!!!! WAKE UP!

Now about the how much weight have you lost...hehhehe this is how you handle it when it comes from a not so welcome mouth...

Annoying Person : Wow, you must be doing something, you don't seem as heavy (fat), how much weight have you lost?

OC: OH, THANKS for noticing, I have lost 23 lbs, I can totally reccommend a program FOR YOU AND YOUR TROUBLE SPOTS, just let me know when you are ready to face reality ! TATA


Honey they don't call me Lucy for nothing, ever hear Lucy and Ethel get ina war of words?

[lifelovinaries]

i know right!!! good morning lucy! i was a late riser this morning (didn't go to bed til 3:30) so when i got up at 9:30, as excited as i was, i wanted to wait until i was SURE i had removed all liquids from my body (hehehe) before i stepped on the scale.

and the funny thing is, the person that asked COULD stand to lose about 50lbs or so. I think what REALLY bothered me about this particular case is, the person that asked simply asked to be nosey, not that she really cared or had any intention of giving me a compliment afterwards.

DAY 56
well i am down a total of 2.8 for the week ~ weighing in at 215.3, which i am happy about but for some reason, i had myself convinced that if i ddn't step on the scale, i would lose more like 6lbs. Actually i guess that was just me hoping that i would be WELL UNDER 215 (more like 213 or so). Anyhoo, i am happy because i know that even at 215.3, i have no intention of stopping now. By wednesday, barring any stalls, i will never see the number 215 again! so YAY! for me. I learned (actually reinforced, because i actually knew them already) quite a few things this week:

1. I can do what i REALLY wanna do!

2. The scale does not have to rule me.

3. People are who they are, i have to work on my reaction to them and thier comments because it is my reaction that i have the ability to control, not the people.

4. i LOVE this program.

I have not decided whether i will go back to daily weighing or not, the scale (and my body) are going to do what they are going to do anyway. Kind of like that "a watched pot never boils" thing. I seem to be making the process longer if i keep checking. If i keep looking every day, it is not going to do anything different than if i dont look at it (as long as i am remaining compliant). Who knows, i'm sure that i will jump right back on tomorrow morning, that's just me. I just know now that it has the ability to control and if that feeling comes back, i will go thru this process again. I didn't have too many problems with weighing daily before, it was a certain number. Well now that the number should soon be a distant memory, i should be fine.
