Having trouble not eating stuff. Nibbled on a bunch of stuff today. Need to be able to control this better. grrrr. Weighing in tomorrow.

I am still here and still trying to lose weight. I have come back down to around 330 lbs, and counting. I have been trying to stay on Optifast, but not eating food is hard as hell. How did I do it last time? I even started taking phentermine - a prescribed appetite suppressant. This definitely helps me not be as hungry and not to want to consume as ( Read more... )

What right does someone have to tell another human being "to get over it"?! If you feel deeply about something, getting over it is not an option. I personally get depressed and frustrated at times. It gets worse if I dwell on it. The only thing that helps is doing something about it - but that is hard as hell. So, some days are better than others ( Read more... )

I weighed in yesterday - lost 9.5lbs in a week! Woo hoo!!!

The past few days have been ok. I have not yet managed to have a 100% optifast day. ugh However, I am having my shakes and trying to minimize food. I think that I am down about 3lbs since Monday --- of course this could also be water weight.

Ok, so I'm back on Optifast, starting today. Ugh. Have had three opti-shakes. I still feel kinda hungry. Drinking tea to stay warm and full. YAWN. No caffeine today either.

I have seen a lot of depression in people's journal's recently. Also, I noticed that lately people are being very hard on themselves for gaining/not losing weight, eating too much, not exercising enough/at all, etc. I know that you can't tell someone to stop being depressed. However, I would like us all to try to move our focus away from everything ( Read more... )

Go to the link to get $25 of a $75 purchase at Lane Bryant. There are also three other coupons ($5 off a bra, pants, or a sweater). The coupons expire 11/24, so that gives us about a week to shop ( Read more... )

It's 3am. I'm hungry. If I ate something now, would I add it to Sunday's totals or Monday's? Hmmm... I guess Monday would make more sense - but does that mean that everything after midnight would go on the next day's food log? I have always divided my food logs by the night's sleep - but since I am pulling an allnighter, I am faced with the dilemma ( Read more... )
