Brittanny,

Youa re doing so well!! You look fab, yes like Anna!!

When I read your posts about how busy the kids keep you it reminds me of the good old days when my husband worked all the time and the kids were little and in every activity known to man!

It goes quickly and before you know it, your talking about drugs and safe sex!1

Enjoy this crazy wild time, but try to find time for your marriage as well as your self!

There's nothing going on this weekend. I know I can hardly believe it myself!!

What is the world coming to?????

Maybe we should try to get together next weekend. That will at least give you time to find a sitter! What do you say?

QueenB · 04-03-2006, 08:51 PM

I am officially looking for a sitter......

I don't knwo what has comeover me. I have been eating candy liek a sugar whore today. I know that my period is close but I haven't ever had cravings THIS strong. It's unbelievable. I haven't gotten sick either, it's like my body is begging for it. What could my body possibly need refined sugar for? I tried eating a banana and some strawberries but I broke down finally and had a peep (or 3) and some of a Reeses Bunny. I felt so much better after.....how weird is that? I just hope I get my period soon and all this sugar craving crap gets out of my system soon.

Besides craving sugar I have been eating badly all around. I am really frustrated that I rarely feel the satiety that everyone raves about. I have to really eat alot of dense dense food to get a feeling of fullness. In a sense I feel totally gypped, like I am still on a "diet".....I have to really stop myself from eating.......who wants to eat and never feel full? I never feel like if I eat just one more bite I will have eaten too much. Not ever and I find myself packing in my food as fast as possible to get as much into the pouch and pray for a feeling of being full. Yes sometimes I don't want to eat but more often than not I have to push away form the table because I know I will comsume way too many caories if I eat unitl I am full......again this is a battle if will power, right back where I started off at. How can this have happened? I know I am not failure becuase I have already lost more than the 70% I need to have to be considered asuccess but I am working way harder than I see anyone else. I work out 5 days a week seriosus cardio ( I did an hour onthe elliptical today plus I walked 3 miles outside) and I weight train with a trianer 2 days and by myself 1-2 more and I always do some sort of stretching. I tried yoga on Friday and that is an evil exersize....I have the flexability but not the balance....and to think I took tap/jazz and ballet for 9 years! Plus alot of the poses hurt my back. Guys I am about ready to rip everyone form my surgeons office who, from the beginning, told me my pouch was just like everyone elses whne I KNEW FORM TH EBEGINNING it wasn't-a new arse hole!

Now I am not gaining weight and I am greatful to be where I am but I want a tool........and i don't feel I have a working one. I'm resentful.

Just my 2 cents but maybe you should eat slower. Take a longer amount of time to eat, so that your brain can catch up to let you know that you're full. I've heard (don't know if it's true) but your brain is what tells you you are full and it takes it awhile to register. Just a suggestion. I hope it helps!

Blueyz · 04-03-2006, 10:21 PM

Hey Britanny,

If it means anything to you, I am in the same boat. I don't feel the fullness and satiety that I used to. I increased my carb intake when I was too thin and now my body craves carbs. I long for sugar and it makes me feel good, but then I feel terrible when my blood sugar drops below the point where I was in the first place. I do see that you can eat a lot more than I could when I was at your stage. I do feel for you. You do exercise a lot and maybe your body just needs more calories...dunno. I do know of a friend who exercises like crazy and he had to increase his food intake. I just want to let you know that you look amazing and have already come so far. Keep smiling and keep positive thoughts. I follow your posts and know that I am here to cheer ya on.

QueenB · 04-03-2006, 10:38 PM

Jeanie-Thanks

I have just recently started eating more quickly in the hopes that it would give me the full feeling I really want to feel. I want to feel "done" if that makes sence. I know that the brain takes a bit of time to catch up with the stomach......I am just trying to find something that works.

Dale-Thanks so much for cheering me on.....I am seriously frustrated. I usually don't crave sugar at al but today it was so bad, more like a need.

Tomorrow back to basics........AGAIN. Maybe i'll go back to soft foods and soups. That should be fun

Anything to be losing again. Back up to 179 (3weeks now)

OMG look at your avatar!!!!! you sexy hot mamma!!!! WOW!!!

QueenB · 04-25-2006, 02:18 PM

Hey Karin......thanks alot!

I haven't updated in a while so here it goes: I still train with a trainer 2 days a week, walk 3 miles 3x's a week plus do cardio/stretching usually 4 or more days a week. Instead of just the ellipticla and/or treadmill I have added classes in the evenings. I do Yoga on Mon and Fri-totally kicks my butt, we're talking sweat and everything. I have to modify some posses becuause of my back but I dig it. Then I take a sculpting class 2x's a week which is step areobics with weights and pilates combined, this also kicks my butt but the music gets me going! I plateaued for about a month then dropped 4 lbs and have been stuck there for another week. That is the reason for switching up my workouts.......lets hope it works.

I have been journaling my food too and I have to say I have some pretty bad habits that aren't going to go away on their own. I almost always have a sip of chocolate milk when I pour my daughter some, I snack on pita chips and I love dried fruits and nuts......most of those things, although not entire bad for you, are calorie dense and not the best choices. I am aware fo this but I CAN'T stop eating/snacking on them.....

I have a trip planned at the end of next month and I am really quite excited about shopping for some new clothes for it. I may even buy somethng kinda girly

I am definitely NOT fru-fru.

Thank you to Rain for the great pair of SIZE 12 jeans!!!!! The support group was great and meeting Michelle was wonderful too.....thanks for driving all the way up to North County Michelle and Donna. Bridget's group inspired me to look into a colon cleanse and convinced me to continue with the NASTY Noni juice I had been swigging with my nose blocked. I actually ordered a colon cleanse system that I have to get the OK to start when it gets here. I LOVE the support around here. You all are so wonderful.........

Holly I am sending my e-mail today..............I swear!
