So I am wondering... How do or did you all deal with people sabotaging your diet? How did you deal with family stress which leads to anger but trying to contain it means..... you wanna eat? ugh??? I am losing but my head and heart are messing with me.

Liz - I'm having a hard time with that one. My husband is a snacker - never really eats a full meal! anyway - I keep telling him NO popcorn at the movies but he gets it anyway-For some reason I can NOT resist the popcorn. Like I said, I just emailed my PCP - I need therapy! I find that the people who don't know about the band don't hinder me. I simply say no thanks and that's that.

Candra.... its true others dont bother me so much. Someone literally just asked me if I want a chip and guess what I reallt didnt want one.... but getting frustrated at home makes me wanna eat. I am going to work on it and maybe keep a food and emotion journal. Its for life!

Hey hey hey!! another day! still hurting but mot that bad.. but still there. Still intoxicated on pain meds!

Nicole you go with your bad self keep going adn Liz stay strong girl you both will be up in no time. So Zumba classes huh! I love Zumba I turned my Cousin into it and she goes every Monday. I love it cause you dont notice what a goodwork out it is untill like 10 minutes into it and by then you cant quit cause the music just gots you goin' Have fun ladies cant wait till I go back in about a month, I hope. Oh and Dr Baggs is going to take my gall bladder out in the future once I fully heal maybe next year. Not looking forward to that. Reggie- Yeah all ive had was chix broth and Jello just 1oz every 15 min but I gotta tell you I feel so weak adn hungry..but the meds just make me sleep. I am walking around the house and using my breather thingie constantly. I just want to get beter very soon.

Candra, you gotta set that man straight! Tell him you can't go to a movie with him if he won't give up the popcorn!

Liz, I hear you on the sabatoge. It's so much easier when everyone around you is on board. In May, my whole family, boyfriend and coworkers were all trying to lose weight. Now, it's not so easy!

I'm thinking of making the mashed cauliflower for Thanksgiving. (If we don't boycott!) Dr. Oz had a recipe on the show today. I'm home sick again so I got my daytime tv on! I want to go to the gym but that can't be a good idea. Oh well.

Heather my dear.... U need to rest up for a while. There are a few colds and flus out there so u stay away from germs for atleast a week. Doctors orders!!!!

I will face the problem and learn to think differently.. a lil cognitive behavior I guess, lol. If I dont strangle people hahahahha. Good luck!

[marquint 2]

heather post the recipe please... oh and on a not so lady-like note..how the heck do you toot (fart) i feel like i have to but i dont want push cause im scared as heck i might hurt somethin!! im thinkin of switchin to tylenol liquid cause this lortab is makin me feel awful what do you all think?

[momcof3 1]

Maria - tooting won't hurt anything - but it will help you feel better as far as the gas goes - try laying on your left side (put a pillow under your tummy as your port is on that side) it should help you toot. Sorry if tmi.

I barely got the ping pong table into the garage before the rain hit - it was sprinkling already - could be because I went back to sleep after I dropped my boys at school at 7:30 and didn't get dressed until 11 - but hey it's my day off. I had 1/3 c baked Beans for Breakfast, 6 cold shrimp for lunch and about 1/2 c fresh sweet potato.

The Point West Kaiser is across the street from Cal Expo - I don't know the exact address.

[marquint 2]

Pam- I need as much TMI at this point. my port is on my left side. so are you saying sleep on my right?

[momcof3 1]

no don't sleep on that side - it will be painful. Just lay on your left side for a bit on the couch and tuck your legs up a little and toot away if you can. :thumbup: Rocking in a chair or a recliner also helps release gas. I learned this when I was pregnant. The gas is what is causing some of the shoulder pain. Are you using your spirometer - hope so as it helps prevent pneumonia.

Hello everyone!!

Analynn- I can't do Zumba Dec 3, thats my 27th BIRTHDAY!! I will be home eating cake and cheating lololol sorry I gotta that day!!

Candra - I change my darn number alot, I texted it to ya tho! I changed back to Sprint and had to get a new #.

Just got home from the movies - again... Really wanted to see the new moon - I'm not real happy with Bella's behavior and that's all I'm gonna say! I was surprised to see Dakota Fanning in it though.... She's growing up for real.

NO POPCORN! yeah! Instead, we went at lunch time and smuggled in our own stuff - I brought in a grilled chicken salad for me - burger & fries for him. & coffees.

Maria - Pammie is so much more brave than I was. I couldn't even think of laying on my left side for a month & a half! I didn't have to toot at all nor did I feel hungry at all for the first 3 weeks - lost 12lbs & gained 3 back grrr! probably more in the past few days cuz I've been bad - but today is the day i am back on track! I really don't want to hear any crap from The Doc next month so I need to be down 10lbs!

Im enjoying the rain today. Only problem is it just makes me lazy - I want to lay in bed all day and EAT.

I ordered my ID card.. Did I already say that earlier? they said 10 - 15 days. We will see.

[momcof3 1]

How in the world did you smuggle that much food in Candra? Must have had a big bag. :thumbup:

I had frosted flakes and milk for dinner but I am still within my allowed calories for the day.

Boy I am bored this evening. I am getting my hair cut tomorrow and my brows done - my younger son is getting his hair cut short again. I am also going to get my hair cut shorter - need to talk them to see what is best to make my hair look thicker in back - I am still losing hair - it needs to stop before I am bald in back. Also need to make it to Curves tomorrow morning. We are going to Penneys at Arden Fair on Sunday to have pictures taken and then the kids will see Santa - I know it isn't even Dec but it will save us a trip later when it is more crowded. Otherwise nothing planned for the weekend.

[tamra. 6]

okay seriously, that chicken place by my house has something in it, I went back for dinner LOL!
