My eating has been so sporadic and weird, I'm not backtracking. I'll start fresh today. I will tell you I've had too much junk this weekend. Friday night I had several high calorie beverages as well. So, yes, I'm struggling a bit. It's stress and emotional eating at it's finest.

Anything to add- I've got to get better about logging my food. Quit snacking on unhealthy stuff! Eat a normal dinner! I did good today (14th), but normally I don't. Need to develop healthy habits too...I don't cook enough either. Bea is my food inspiration goddess...we need to do a recipe thread for the Avengers! Bea????

I want to go out to eat with Carol!!!! Oh - I think we are still doing great though. So we don't always make the best choices. We are human and love to eat! If it weren't for our bands I would have eaten the entire box of hibachi and the kids and had dessert....Carol wouldn't have you eaten the entire entree at Olive Garden? We have come so far ya'll. This logging really does keep me focused and reminds me of what I need to be doing and what I shouldn't be. Thanks ya'll!

Bea is my food inspiration goddess...we need to do a recipe thread for the Avengers! Bea????

Okay, Girlfriend, what are you smoking and why haven't you offered me any? LOL! "Inspiration goddess"?!? While I do dig the whole goddess thing, I'm not sure what kind of inspiration I am. :regular_smile: However, I appreciate the vote of confidence, but I'm certainly not perfect. I have found that if I ever start (or should I say, fall off the wagon), it's hard to stop. Here is just what I can remember about my weekend. Evidently I had so much junk, I've blocked it from memory!!:

Friday Night:

2 Margaritas, 3 blue hawaiians - first time we got to go out in a long time, kinda got carried away. There was a really good band that did stuff from the 80's! The drinks were small and not that strong alcohol wise, but I'm lucky I didn't puke or go into a diabetic coma. Talk about sugar overload!

Saturday:

I ate brownies, several of them as a matter of fact, don't even remember how many. Along with Sun chips. - total emotional eating

Sunday:

About 40 cups of coffee (that can't be good) and more Sun chips.

And now....

I just got back from my girls' school. I tried to sneak up there to drop some stuff off, but my oldest "caught" me. She wanted me to stay for lunch. So, to keep from seeing the guilt making "I'll need therapy one day" face, I stayed and ate school cafeteria lasagna. Yuck! It tasted okay, but I can only imagine what was in it. It's no wonder our kids in America are becoming obese. My daughter didn't even eat it, she chose a baked potato which had to be better even with the little tub of butter and sour cream. They wouldn't let me have one because they only had so many. So, I took one right in the gut for my kid!!! LOL! ONe of these days when I get several more degrees under my belt, that's going to be the first thing on a long list of things to try to change - school lunches! I mean, really.

Needless to say, I didn't loose any weight, but I also didn't gain! But I'm done and it's over. Back on the wagon.

Anyway, yes I'm going to start our recipe thread, but I'm trying to decide the best way to go about it because stuff gets lost. I'm not sure there is really a way to categorize it. I was thinking we could have posts for casseroles, salads, etc on the title line and then when someone adds a new recipe, they would just "edit" that post and add it to the bottom. Do you think that would work? I'm a little anal, can ya tell! HA!

Turler · October 15, 2008

I want to go out to eat with Carol!!!!

LOL...well just for the record, I didn't actually go OUT to eat. It was catered IN. Last night was our last day of the term (for school) and our professor bought us dinner. It was very nice, but I did feel obligated to eat some, ya know? But yes, we eat out quite a bit. I hate to cook. And you can join me anytime.

Just ask Lori (KIEUL) about our eating out!!! LOL

....Carol wouldn't have you eaten the entire entree at Olive Garden?

Yes!!!!!!!!!!! You're right. And still have been hungry later! It really IS amazing not to eat like that anymore. Thank God for the Band!

Brandy~ · October 15, 2008

haha Bea you're my kinda girl! Too bad no one lives close to me I would love to get out now and then and have 1 or heck 5 drinks lol..

I would love to see a recipe thread. I would like to find a Soup that high Protein (not beans) that I can make a batch of and actually enjoy eating. Soups are easy for me in the morning and I would rather eat something instead of Protein shakes since my bands tight early in the day.
