Beacon of hope. My first 50 pounds is to prove that I CAN do it...and I have a lot of help. My faith, my friends both home and in cyberspace, my immediate family.

These are my other 5 choices:

This is a Round "TUIT"--for getting around to losing weight!

This is to remind me even a little faith goes a long way:

This for my Irish husband who has been there every step of the way:

This is the Faith Family Friends that I talked about before....

This will be the last one I get before I get the bracelet. On this one, I want to put "277" for the 277 pounds I lost.

Do you think I'm a little compulsive about planning ahead?

Not at all. Like I said, I already have all the charms I want on my wish list and mine aren't even to signify great events like reaching goals.

This is more in response to Serendipity's post to me in her Journal.

Yesterday was a perfect example of of "the will to stay compliant." Since it is Halloween time, all the teachers have the little "fun" size candy bars (I don't know what is so much "fun" about gaining weight) in their classrooms. I was going into the copy room when the secretary was filling up a gigantic basket for the teachers. Several folks were crowded around the supply, eagerly awaiting the pickin's....I was trying to get to the phone when someone piped up and said, "Tammy has lost 47 pounds in 8 weeks!" Then the same person looked at me and asked if I wanted the first pick of the candy. I said, "Oh no...I'm not breaking my diet for a piece of candy. It's not worth it." Of course, the reply was, "OH, ONE piece won't hurt!" That's when I got a little tough with her and said, "That's why I have to lose the weight--all those little pieces of candy and slices of pizza wouldn't have hurt if I had had just one over the past 20 years. No thanks. I'm not breaking my diet for that little piece of candy."

They gushed over my will power as the candy was ripped into, but I have to tell you, I see now with eyes wide open. No one "NEEDS" a piece of chocolate.... In 2 years, if I would like a little piece of chocolate, it's going to be GOOD chocolate and one teeny, tiny piece for my taste buds to enjoy. Not something just to fill up my jowls.

On the other hand...

I went out for dinner last night to eat steak, salad and broccoli for my birthday, which was very nice. I was compliant, with the exception that I probably shouldn't have eaten ANY peanuts (one of those places where you throw the hulls on the floor)...however, I am sure I didn't get knocked out of ketosis....the waitress looked shocked that we didn't want any bread or dessert. (They're known for their bread.) I feel really good about the meal and I'm looking forward to another month of compliance!

Yayy for TSFL!

Until next time...happy shakin!

Sounds like you had a great day-no chocolate and no bread! Happy Belated Birthday! I remember when I turned 29...

Signladytf · by **Signladytf** » October 24th, 2007, 5:13 am

Actually, today is my 33rd birthday. We have lots of church activities on Wednesday nights, so we did our little family thing last night.

Tomorrow is D-day on the sale of our house..that will be one thing that I am not worried about any more!!!

O Happy Day!!!

:dance:

Well Happy Birthday!

I never assume a lady is any older than 29!

Lucy · by **Lucy** » October 24th, 2007, 6:56 am

YEAH Happy Birthday... I so know where you ate and yes you did GOOOODDDDD. And way to tell those candy eatting bafoons a thing or two. You are doing well, actually REALLY REALLY well, keep it up.

When/if you decide to cave and cheat, go to the nearest Wal-Target-etc, march straight to the pet department and pick up two 25 lb bags of dog food and march to the ladies department, carrying the dog food, ignore the helpful people offering to get you a cart...

Realize you can live without the weight YOU HAVE ALREADY LOST!!!!! and can live without whatever that is that wants to give it back...

Be a good shopper, return the dog food, drive home with an oh so smug look on your face!

Ok, so I'm stressed to the MAX! Closing is today at 2:00 pm. There's nothing like doing a home sale from 4 states away. I'm glad I don't have to do this anymore, because if I did, I'd have to find a way to be in the same city so that I wouldn't have to do this faxing and Fedex mess!

Eating is good, water consumption is good. It is the only control I have over my life right now. Thank goodness God is ultimately in control, or I'd lose it!

I'm positive I'll make my 50 lb mark by Saturday (the 2-month mark).
But, so what if I don't? I've come this far.....

Until next time...

The house closed, my bills are going to be paid, and I made the 50# club today. Need I say more?? Happy shaking!!!
