oh dang, ham and pineapple cream cheese? ??? i can DO ham. how many carbs in pineapple cream cheese????? just checked - 1 carb per Tablespoon ... hmmmmmm

1 carb isn't bad, I was expecting it to be a lot more. I may have to give luncheon meats another try!

I can do ham too. That sounds really yummy

[georgia girl 35]

No, that does make sense. My dh and I were talking this morning. He is not sure I need a fill. He says that I don't eat hardly anything as it is. I still can eat more that I would like to be able to. I think I will get a fill today (if she will even give me one) and then go from there. In the beginning I think I did expect my band to do all the work. Man, if only that were the way it worked!!! It has only been since I have begun taking responsibility myself that I have begun to lose. Part of that, however, is due to having better restriction. I feel like I am so close to the restriction that I desire. We'll see what this fill will do!!

Thanks so much for your thoughts on fills. It makes perfect sense. I jsut don't think I have ftruly found my sweet spot yet!!

I'm not sure I'm at my sweet spot yet either. When I got my last fill, I thought that would be "the one", but it has relaxed quite a bit. I think I'm very close. I have 6ccs in my band right now.

I have either 7 or 7.5cc. I can't remember which. I am really close. I can't imagine having over 8cc in my band at this point.

That stuffed chicken breast sounds sooooo good. I have got to find those. I'll be going back to Walmart tommorow. I didn't look in the center section. Only the one with chicken nuggets, etc. I'm still holding out hope!!

[renewedhope 4]

NO, NO, NO!!! You don't suck!! Look at your ticker!!! Look what you have done, and will continue to do!! Just pick yourself up and keep going!!!

[georgia girl 35]

:ohmy:omgosh! English toffee is one of my all-time favorites! :rolleyes2:

It's okay Losing, just get back on track and you'll be fine. I'm sure with all the exercise you do, you'll work it off!

[losingjusme 12]

i guess the good news is i ate about 6 bites ...

the bad news .. i ate about 6 bites...:cool2::wink2: :rolleyes2:

[georgia girl 35]

Don't beat yourself up over 6 bites, like I said, you'll work that off in no time. Keep your head up and keep going!

[losingjusme 12]

yeah, i know Georgia.

im just really stressed right now i guess.

went to target on my lunch to get some ham and cream cheese for lunch. well it is REALLY REALLY (REALLY) windy here - enough to knock out power...

in the parking lot one of those HUGE Target carts (the one with the double kid's seat) slams into the back of my car at about 40 MPH.... sooo frustrated and pissed at Target management. "We'll take a report, but nothing will come of it".

we pretty much shop exclusively at Target ... if they do nothing, that will change.

Renewed, here's some pictures of the box of stuffed chicken, maybe this will help you find it!

That really sucks! I know how you feel, if I'm having a crappy day, I always eat things I shouldn't too.

Did it do a lot of damage to your car?

[losingjusme 12]

georgia,

those look yummie!

the damage is definitely visable. dented and paint is now chipping. there is a slight red tint there so you can tell something red (ahem, target cart) hit it..

im just really ticked.
