Joyce: on fb I am Candice McIntyre, if you want to add me to your freinds list

I was talking to anyone who is interested in a healthy debate

JB, nice to meet you.. I too am a Compulsive Over Eater, FOOD ADDICT, whatever you want to call it... I AM.. Starting right back from square one... I am POWERLESS OVER FOOD and my LIFE is UNMANAGEABLE.... Came to beleive that a POWER greater than myself could restore me to sanity,.,< Thats where I am right now, in this moment:smile2: ``It is better to begin in the evening than not at all.` English proverb A day can begin anytime. That was a notion I didn`t want to hear in my compulsive eating days. If I promised myself I would straighten up in the morning, I could go on eating in peace. This kind of self-delusion can be used to avod making a start at almost anythng. But as any OAer knows, OA spoils all our compulsive overeating arguments. I simplu cant fool myself for long anymore. I cant say, TODAY IS SHOT, ANYWAYA and go on squelching that impulse to take action. To put it more accurately, I may say it, but I no longer buy it. FOR TODAY: Anything I choose to do can begin - NOW - this very minute. -this is an exerpt from OA literature book called FOR TODAY a daily meditation book.

Look around the World. Of the 10 biggest democracies in the WORLD ...ALL have publicly funded HealthCare (for everyone) the U.S. is the only country that dosn`t??? WTF?? Isnt`it a Christian value to` Love our Neighbor`` like ourselves? Ask yourself the question, if Jesus were here and offering suggestions... would he not agree that the wealthier amoung us put a little more in the plate so that even the poorest amoungst us would have basic health coverage?? Universal health care is not socialist or communist... what are you so afraid of? Sharing????? You already consider EDUCATION to be a universal right in the U.S. and have your public school program, so you are already doing and acting like Socialists( your term not mine) So is Obama doing a good job so far? HELL YES:smile2:

Karla; thanks for the Kudos on ysterday... Yup its ONE DAY AT A TIME... especially for me right now.... I have to remember to LIVE in the MOMENT and NOT look for issues to worry about.... that is disaster for me... So today, I`ve had cereal/milk and a coffee/ milk.. Think I`ll have a shake for lunch and then dinner will be meat/vegies. Oh I forgot to ask, how is SIMON doing? Is his drain out and all healed up? Janet: Loved talking to you, you always reiterate something to me that I NEED to HEAR... Thanks for being `you``!! Oh and the photoshopping, YES I can see the diff. it took the SHINE off of everyones faces... Great job. Phyl; I am so glad you are enjoying your puppy time... that little one is such a doll... can`t help but love her.I am so happy the omelet went down o.k. that is a step in the right direction,. Maybe you just irritated your band somehow and it was too tight temporarily.. all is well YEAH WOw those gals on the mentor thread sure like to talk... lots of reading for me each day... which is good right now as then my HANDS are busy!!! Linda: Hey girl, thinking of you. Stpehanie: let us know how your weekend went??? Denise`: How are you and is Hubby getting better?

Dear Jodi; WOW you sound like you really mastered the HOLIDAY by eating only what you should... doing the `visual`eating of the buffet table and then choosing wisely was an AWESOME Kudo for you!!! If you fail to Plan, then you PLan TO FAIL...

Phyl; I dont' like the sound of your stomach issues at all. Brown liquid, not good. Reflux that's choking you to wake up at night? Girly that needs some investigation. You sound like you might need a TAD of saline taken out... just a tiny bit out will make a huge difference. Think about it o.k.??? we worry:blushing:

CALORIES;CARBS;FAT;PROTEIN1,270;175;40;53 My tally for today... Karla; sorry you are still so tight. But it sounds like you are putting the time at home to good use... You accomplished a lot today :redface:

CALORIES/CARBS/FAT/PROTEIN1,270:175:40"53 SO there you have it, my food tally for today... I will aim at getting closer to 1000 cals. but this is a good start... Thanks for welcoming me here. I appreciate it. Have a Nice Saturday Night Peaches

Home from the Kiddies Bday party. It was pretty fun today. The kids were 8 yrs old so it was easier to reign them in when they got rowdy. 11 Little girls and 1 boy... GOSH he was cute!!! I didn't eat any of the junk!!! YEAH me! My GF Jayne'ie was licking her icing fingers, and nibbling on the pizza but I had "1" strawberry dipped in icing.. that's it!! I was so proud of myself.. WHen I came home I was tired so I lay down for a bit and put on my Hypnotherapy tape(for not eating crap) and I feel good. Made some lunch for myself. BUsh's ranchero beans, cut up a chicken weiner in it..heated it on the stove and ooops sticking... its a little spicier than my BAND would like... so I may end up having a protien shake.

Lady K. I'm with you, I am afraid to post too much personal stuff on Facebook. Once its "out there" anyone can get access to it...that part freeks me out. SO I like to use THIS site, as it is hard to find unless you are researching the Band or Sleeve... I had a chat with my Hubby today about feeling Down and Out of control with my eating... He was great... agreed we both have been eating a lot of junk (were on holiday) and its so hard to get back on track. So about to have my breakfast... cereal and milk.. One day at a time, One meal at a time, One MOMENT at a time... I have to concentrate on the MOMENTS right now... Have a great day ladies Peaches

Phyl, I am so sorry to hear about your Friend Janet's passing... HUGS GF:thumbup:

Karla, you hit one of the nails on the head... I don't know for sure How I feel about going back to the clinic. On one hand there will be a new boss, there will be new staff to get to know (a Possitive) but there is one gal from the Old clinic who is coming to the new... and I am having some anxiety about HER... She is load, a but-in-ski and I am just worried she'll start in as per usual... but I am not giving credit to the new boss. She might just CLAMP down on negative behaviour right from the beginning and then things will be fine..

Hi there, I`m new to this thread. Mentors thread may be just what I need. I say I would fall into the `struggling LBT member`catagory. As a brief recap of myself. Banded July 07, had a damaged Tube/port and had to have resurgery March 08.. Since then I have lost 65 lbs, but some has crept back on. I am now only down 55 lbs. I have been up an down these same darn 10 lbs for the past year. I feel like a bit of a failure, although I run into people who have known me for a LONG time and always remark on how good I look... ( they don`t know that I just shoved a bag of peanut M&M`s into my face) I feel like a fraud and that I`ll keep on gaining weight. When I have any kind of stressor.... I slip... then I get back on the band-wagon(pun intended) for a couple of weeks, start loseing then.... sabotage myself again... If I stay on the computer every day, then I can`t eat/drink while at my laptop... So, can I join your thread? I am imperfect, but am reflecting on my issues.... Peaches

Oh don`t worry about them.... they just don`t know you like we do here on the 7`s thread... Hope you had fun at the concert!!!:w00t:

Oh my Gosh, you could NEVER piss me off! I know you LOVE Me, that`s why I can be honest with you. I honestly DON`T know why I keep grabbing at the food (junkie stuff) Am I afraid to find out? Does it go back to my childhood? I need to go see the hypnothapist perhaps she can unlock something WEIRD in me... I WANT to be rigid like you...don`t change:biggrin:

Ah Phyl, those 2 pictures... cammon... I was almost crying when I saw the one of Earl and the dog...You gotta be melting by now eh? Um, Janets post... I totally LOVE the way you guys care.. I dont' know what's up with my Lack of motivation.. I feel really yuky right now. Is it a letdown reflex? Home from the great trip and now what? Then this job... had a staff meeting last night wow, there was a lot of estrogen in THAT room... I like the new staff, but its the old staffers that have me concerned. Going out for a drive with my QUllting buddy today... we're gonna run the rails... CBL

Ya, she is really sweet!!! Oh I can so `see`you with a doggie... You know you can get Earl to agree to anything, just work on him girl.... I for got to tell you, On Sat. I was driving my DD and my SIster out for supper and two german sheppards ran out onto the street RIGHT in front of my car!!!! Meaghan yelled and I slammed on the brakes... just in the nick of time. Stupid, stupid neighbor did not have her dogs leashed on her property... she is lucky they are both still alive. I felt TERRIBLE, I was shaking just thinking of what Might have happened. Janet; you are right. I have to get out my Beck book and get at it...

Hi Gang, fly by post... sorrry. Janet; You are right to be worrying, I did well for 1 day then fell into a vat of chocolate... I will get back on track just taking longer than I thought:glare: Linda; You are right to be comforted by little CORA she is a treasure for SURE!! She`d make going to the dentist almost pleasurable. Phyl: the Coach Purses... OMW... don`t ever let him find THEM or he`ll have a YARD sale and get you down to 10 purses... Steph; have a blast at Bucking Horse... let us know how you did in Sales$$$$ kARLA; wORKING away on finishing joining all thew 36 blocks for that BLUE-Yellow quilt... I HATE IT TODAY.... its HARD work right now... like wrestling an aligator to get it under the sewing maching throat.... ARGH! I am taking a break from it right now before I go nuts-O

o.k. going to bed soon. Nighttime snacks are as follows::::: BOwl of cheerios/ skim milk Bag of Popcorn MUg of SF HOt Cocoa... now my pills... thats it. I am going to bed now... I DID NOT DRIVE OUT TO BUY JUNK FOOD ---- YEah ME!!

PHyl, I dont know hwat to say about your neices... that is just horrible... I do hope that they both recover quiklly and it was just some WEIRDO flu. Broken nose and teeth, ah she`ll be upset ab out that.< Earl, whats up with him... Male PMS that`s what I`d chalk it up to... plus the STOCK market`s been wildly fluctuating this week becauase of GREECE... Its probably got his knickers in a twist worrying about investments. We;ve had a few nibbles on our van.. several phone enquiries and a lot of drive=bys, looky-loos... so keep your fingers crossed I can buy a BIGGER one soon. I vote YES on a doggie for the two of you... You`d love it, and having a dog FORCES you to walk it everyday... so it good exercise. It would be such fun in the RV park too and someone for you to talk to when you are pissed at Earl!!!

Janet, you are too funny.,.. I love the idea of the BIggest Loser Resort... I`m IN.... I am saving right now for a plane ticket... I have a new AEROPLAN card collecting miles on it....so be careful what you wish for:tt1:

Ah that property, you;ll be glad to be finished with that eh!! It sucks that you got stuck with ALL the administrative stuff.... not fair, have you heard from you sister lately? Ate my supper and came right back downstairs to sew.. that queen size blue/yellow quilt is like wrestling with an alligator:cursing: I am getting it put together in rows but its tough slugging... already broke one needle... time to take a break. REally want to eat something yummy right now, i am craving SWEETS, so I may go eat a bowl of oatmeal... no chocolate in the house Janet....but I have thought about going out to buy some:thumbdown::drool::crying: I know that DAY 1 is always the toughest.... I just have yto hang in a few more hours.

Its 3 ^p.m and I am wanting food, not just any food, but JUNK food.... argh!! I had my breaky and lunch... going to have a tea and go sew...keep my HEAD busy... that`s the plan

Well this has started out to be an interesting day. I had a `job` interview at the NEW Chiropractic clininc. Which was totally weird cause I AM applying for my OLD job back, minus 2 days per week. I`ll do the Accounts receivable, WSIB, Webpage and Laser therapy. Like I did before... only at this clinic I`ll have a new boss. Dr. Sara... so I had to go jump thru hoops for her. Actually, I wans`t looking forward to the experience at all... but I had nothing to lose... SHe was REALLY nice, liked me and asked if «i`d be interested in going to the staff meeting on THURS night this week... I said sure... so I`m pretty sure that means I got the job... I asked for my raise, got it, asked for my 4-6 wks vacation per year, got it. and got my 2 days per week schedule... so :tt2: I guess I;m working again. SHe said she`d talk to me next week to discuss start date... cool - I also told her of my trip to Seattle in July, no problemo....<< And best of all... the PIT BULL is not being interveiwed for a job at the NEW clinic.... YEAH!!!:scared2: :cheers2: :party: :w00t:
