I'm glad I'm not the only one tapshoes. Eating is fun, and I love it...hence my problem. Drinking...well unless it has alcohol in it or it's just plain Water I'm just not that into it. Ps- I am not an alcoholic, that was a joke.

That's a cool thing Tap

I'm working on it. I did have an icecream slip, but it was my TOM so I don't feel so bad. This morning I had a nectarine and for lunch I packed some deli chicken, 2 slices of provolone and another nectarine. Hopefully for supper I can convince myself to have a ww meal. In fact I was thinking about joining weight watchers...what do you think?

I mowed my entire yard and pulled a bunch of weeds. It was fun.

Snatches Trophy! I am the winner!!!!!

AFter careful study, Glou, I say that bitch deserved it. I would have thrown those under her chair too.

Hey Melissa and Glou- Yeah I'm doing good. I'm gonna mow the yard today for some exercise when I get off work. I am feeling motivated. I am glad I came back here. I feel like a new bandster. I have not had a drink while I have eaten yet. Now I just have to work on not drinking after I eat. I can make it thirty minutes, but I haven't made it an hour. Step by step. Yesterday I grilled some chicken breast on the grill with directions from the internet and without drinking I could barely eat 1/2 of it. So I was like...oh...I DO have a band in there. By the by it was the best chicken EVER. I brined it then put it straight on the grill and put a little raspberry chipotle sauce on it. The trick with boneless skinless chicken breast on the grill is brining, then cooking it over high heat with the lid open for about 5 minutes and flipping it once. It leaves pretty grill marks, and nice carmalized crust and juicy tender chicken inside. I also bought these bags that you can just toss frozen veggies in and steam in the microwave so I had some of those too.

Oh Honey, I feel ya. Oh I feel ya. I haven't lost any kind of weight in...5 months maybe? And My loss was slower than most in the beginning anyway, and I was on the larger side of the banders. But I have rededicated myself. I refuse and I mean REFUSE to drink while eating now. I just got a fill...but I still don't have a lot of restriction, but I've got some so I'm gonna work with what I got. I wish you all the luck and stregth in the world. Us slow losers need it. But we can do this, girl! We can! We Can! I know that my slow weight loss is half my stupid metabolisms fault, but the other half rest with me. I love icecream so much, and I drank while I ate, especially if I was eating something I liked. I was deliberately sabotaging myself. I don't know if it is fear of success or just my plain old food addictions coming through...Probably both. Keep your head up. Stay with me. Let's support each other. Oh and my band anniversary is tomorrow. Just FYI, also. I have only lost 50 lbs too, see they day I changed my signature I hadn't been on a scale in two months and I used one at a friends house and it said I had lost close to 20 lbs. I got super excited and changed my signature...just to learn later that her stupid scale was broken. Don't lose faith though, I did. Now I'm back on track.

Uh, Ms. Diva. Is that itty bitty skinny face with the curly hair YOU!?! You look fantastic! You all do. Okay, it looks like the Protein shakes are winning out, or at least some form of protein. I think I will try the bars.

Nice Article, Thank you.

Wow, Thanks Rhapsody, I don't have a dieticien. The one my Dr. sent me too as a completely rude bonehead who I wanted to hit, and I get along with pretty much everybody. The whole time I was in there I was thinking "you will NEVER see me again." I'm gonna print this out. Thanks again. Maybe I should find another dietician. And no worries, Jodi and Christasha. Your always welcome to join in on the conversations.

I have I told you lately how much you rock? I haven't? YOU ROCK! On to the subject. This is not what I signed up for. I do not think we should have ever bailed out anyone, honestly. Bush started it, Obama is keeping it going. I don't like it, but I don't have a better idea and I understand that he is trying to keep our country out of a even larger economic crisis. I'm gonna sit back and let it happen. Me worrying about it isn't going to change things, I am focusing on social issues.

ooooooooKay! I got my fill. I did, finally. Yep. Yesterday. I stayed on liquids for the rest of the day and had some oatmeal for Breakfast and I'm full. I will not drink while I eat, I will not drink while I eat, I will not drink while I eat. And today starts my dedication today to my wii fit. No more "I don't feel like it today" and no more "I'll do it tomorrow" Nope, I will get off my butt and do it today!

In one year I 1. Went down a few sizes. 2. Deciding to get um "civil unioned" 3. Stopped to overfill on most seats. 4. Gave up 5. Got started again.

I had just been so depressed with it, but I am so glad you replied, thank you. Let me know when your fill is. I heart you lady. Not drinking while eating continues to be such a struggle for me. I guess all I can do is keep trying.

So just to catch up. I've read the twilight series twice now, and all the True blood books...also known as the Sookie Stackhouse series. It's written all about this area, Yes Julie they rock. In one of the books they talk about going to see "The Producers" at the strand theatre and I laughed so hard because I was actually there...of course I didn't see the warewolf attack outside :thumbup: I have also been into Tamora Pierce lately. She's cool. And ww cookbooks too. I am currently rereading Jane Eyre.

I didn't do crap this weekend, but this afternoon I am gonna sweat my butt off....literally.

Cool Crystal- Okay, let's get in the zone. Korky- I'm glad to hear that LilMis- I heart you lady. I might have to take you up on that the next time I can't put down the candy. Audone- Thank you for up vibes.

Happy late V-Day....guess what I did on valentines day? I bought me a brand new bright red toyota!!!! It's the best V-day present I could have ever gotten. Oh by the by. I managed to avoid any and all chocolates on V-day this year.

J, I am so very very sorry. I can't imagine what you are going through right now. Deep deep regrets for you and your family. Love. Tara

You look great, Luv.

Hugs to you tapshoe...That sounds like a tough situation. I can't relate, but I can sympathize.

I cried today...but I called the doctor and scheduled my fill. It's on Feb. 23rd. It's always hard to get in there, but I took a step. Thank you all for your encouragement. I really appreciate it. I am just so low with this. I am trying to concentrate on other things, but Damn it. I'm just sad. I'm crying now actually. I never really cry, so now you know how much you all mean to me. I really mean that. Tapshoes, thank you for trying to track me down especially. I just felt so ashamed and alone and usless. I couldn't face it, but I got the emails saying that you had sent me messages again and that is why I came back. One day I really want to meet you, I just hope that when that time comes their is less of me to meet. Okay I have to get offline for the rest of the day so I can concentrate on other things and maybe work out, but I will catch up with all the old post soon. I missed you all, I really did. I know that we don't really know each other in real life, but I truely love you guys. I have never had internet relationships before, but you guys are just as much my friends as the ones I have in my own town.
