Hi Everyone!
Sometimes I feel guilty posting as life is so busy right now that I don't have time to keep up with everyone's journals but I miss you and I'm still on!!!
I am 232.8 this morning which puts me at a 30 pounds weight loss, yay! Clothes fit awesome and I'm trying hard not to buy new stuff until I'm just at goal!! I cannot wait for the 220's! Then the 190's!
Today I am taking my 2-year old to her first movie - we are going to see Bolt. I have to run and get her dressed now.
Challenges: lack of hunger or desire to eat - yesterday I realized at 9 PM that I hadn't eaten a L&G! I will make sure not to do that again - but I just had no appetite all day. It was the first day of TOM and I'm usually ravenous, but yesterday I just didn't feel like eating. Today I'm still not feeling it, but I am eating every 2.5 hours so that I don't forget!
Anyone have recommedations for constipation? Sorry - TMI???
Energy level at an all time high - love it!
I love the Oatmeal Raison crunch bars - those are my favorites!
That's about it. I can hit the gym in about 2 weeks according to my ankle doctor - he says I'm healing but to avoid the long walks until my final x-rays. I cannot wait.
OK - I promise to catch up and read what's happening with everyone and I sincerely hope you are all well. Please bear with me and I'll be catching up soon.
xoxo - Shari

It's Tuesday night - feels like this week is going to drag on FOREVER...
I was 231.8 this AM, so down 1 pound from yesterday. I'm still weighing myself each day. I can't stop.
I feel like this is taking soooo long. I just want to be done. Well, not done, but to my goal weight. I plan to maintain very well and uphold a long-term lifestyle change, but there are days (like today) when I could just pound the box of Wheat Thins in my pantry. I didn't - I haven't cheated except for extra meals here and there (medifast meals). But each time I make my daughter lunch and dinner, I go nuts. I give her fresh fruit with each meal and I could eat that constantly. I miss fruit! I want some cheese...I LOVE cheese. I want crackers, a piece of cake. I sometimes wonder if I really CAN do this for the long term. Am I going to reach goal and then eat everything in the world again? I can't answer that.
Anyhow - my 2 year old got on my last nerve tonight. She had a tantrum (not unusual) but she screamed VERY loud on purpose to wake up Maddie, our 3-month old, who had just fallen asleep. In effort not to flip out on her, I asked my husband to deal with both kids and I put on my iPod and just listened to music. BUT I also downed 2 mint crunch bars (the new ones), and I had already eaten all of my meals for the day. So I went two over. I totally STRESS ATE! It was all in agravation but I can't say I'm sorry. I don't know.
I just want to work out and build more muscle and not worry about my weight everyday.
Does anyone feel like an alcoholic or a drug user? Like those, I have a food addiction (not drugs or alcohol). But rehabbed former users cannot ever go back to their old habits - the best treatment is NO alcohol and NO drugs. But I can't say NO food - we have to eat! So it's SOOO hard.
UGh - I don't know. I just hope that my 2 extra bars didn't ruin anything - I'm sure the scale won't move, and it might go up - but at this point, they made me feel better and that's that. But it's the fact that they made me feel better - I turned to food to feel better - I don't know what else to do.
Let's end this on a positive note - by next week I should be into the 220's. That is a wonderful goal for me and I plan to meet it.
Hope everyone is well!!!

Stress eating is hard to conquer, but if you read Robin's journal (Dogma) you can see that she had some very tough times recently and did not turn to food at all. So it can be stopped - finding other coping mechanisms is key. Maybe you could have popped on the iPod and gone for a walk? Weather makes that hard sometimes, I know. And I never take my own advice but that doesn't mean it's not good advice. 
On eating and addiction - no, we can't abstain from food, but we can learn moderation. It's going to be much harder to do that, but it can happen. For example, at goal if you want the Wheat Thins, cheese, or fruit, just take one portion of it and walk away from the rest or wrap it up/put it away. Then eat what you have slowly. You'll get all the enjoyment of the taste and none of the guilt of a binge. So yes, we can have any food on earth when we're at goal - but we can't eat a ton of it. But won't it feel great to have control over the food, instead of the other way around?
I hope you have a good day today with no stress. I have a 3 1/2 year old and a 6 month old, so I can imagine your scenario last night all too well. I threaten my daughter with all manner of things if she makes a peep once that baby is asleep!!
I hope they get along better today for your sake.
