IM2 - Im keeping my fingers crossed that you dont have to work!!! I was scheduled for Christmas and the day after but my coworker offered to fill in so I could be with the kids. I think I love him.

IM2fat · 12-10-2009, 06:23 AM

When I see co-workers munching away on all the treats in the office, I remind myself that it isn't worth feeling like crap on Christmas once again. It isn't worth all the extra effort I would have to exert to get that darn brownie off my hip (I'm really lazy) and I make sure I don't wear any "comfort" clothes.. Fitted skirts/suits and support panty hose (and high heels to make you stand straighter and feel "sexier"). . I drink hot coffee, tea, diet soda, water, water and water and keep that in my hand all the time. .makes it more difficult to shove chocolate in. If I'm real desperate. .I will add some creamer/sweet low to my coffee. .A treat in itself. Worst case: Chew SF gum to keep your mouth busy. .and absolute worst case: buy some sugar free werthers or hard candy but watch your limits! That's all I can think of... I really hate to break out the tuna and boiled eggs at a get together!

IM2fat · 12-10-2009, 06:25 AM

My hubby and I own a 24 hours business, too..so I don't have to work my regular job but I know one of us will have to fill in. . We gave 'em the day off. . Dumb. .dumb. .dumb. .I say.. .

aleriaaa · 12-10-2009, 06:39 AM

IM2 - You and hubby are good souls. That was soooo nice of you to give the staff the day off. (No boss ever did that for me during my clerk years)

Thanks for the helpful tips!!! Keep em coming everyone!

Thanks IM2FAT for helping me out, I will refrain from buying the cookbook.
I have been doing good-cheat free.

Basically water and meat and eggs.

Limited hunger and down .2 lbs today. I am on Depo so do any of y'all think this could be messing up my weight loss?

Thanks. Hope y'all have a wonderful day.

At that choc. market there was cinamon(can't spell) and sugar popcorn. I really wanted to try it but they were just selling big bags of it--and it could have been weird!

We are really lucky in Ireland--Everything is closed on Christmas Day and St. Stephan's Day (26th). The only people that have to work are front-line workers--Hospitals. police, fire brigade etc.

Hi Emily! We haven't heard from you for a few days. Hope you are o.k. and not still sick.

msgirl · 12-10-2009, 09:43 AM

I second the coffee idea for gatherings....you don't seem quite as conspicuous as you would with a empty hand

For instance, i was at a party Friday night and everyone was eating their Christmas dessert... I just had coffee and was okay with it. I did get a few comments but I told them I was satisfied with my warm comfy cup of coffee

Hi Kiki! Did you just start this week or have you already been losing on M/E? (I dont have any advice on depo - sorry) Nice job on the non-cheats!!

msgirl · 12-10-2009, 11:43 AM

where or where are you our dear Emily?? We miss you!!

aleriaaa · 12-10-2009, 12:34 PM

hey msgirl- what'd ya have for lunch today? some mouth-watering tuna over here...

Getting there!!! · 12-10-2009, 12:37 PM

Im2-you're on the front-line too so!

Getting there!!! · 12-10-2009, 12:39 PM

I had turkey and mayo for lunch-----and breakfast----and dinner---and twice in between!!!! Just in case you wanted to know!!!!

aleriaaa · 12-10-2009, 12:41 PM

Does anyone freeze their meat after cooking? Im thinking the ground beef/turkey will reheat well, but whenever I try to freeze chicken or pork chops, they get all ice crystals on them. Im just wondering.....is there a special trick to it?

I totally wanted to know! I was going to ask but didnt know if you wanted to forget about it. Great willpower girl!

aleriaaa · 12-10-2009, 12:43 PM

are you eating a slice of turkey or ground turkey? or roasting up a whole bird for those bites?

Getting there!!! · 12-10-2009, 12:51 PM

I never freeze cooked chicken. A friend has a vacum pack thing tho-it squeezes all the air out--and it's fine! She literally freezes everything, she does a whole weeks cooking on Sat. and reheats for the rest of the week!

I'm grilling 2 turkey breasts in the morning and chopping them up and putting them in a tupperware box to pick out the pieces for the rest of the day! Actually I'm eating way more turkey than it says to---have you ever seen an ounce of turkey??? You would seriously need a magnifying glass!!!

Getting there!!! · 12-10-2009, 12:54 PM

Al, who is in your avator wearing the kitty teddy dress?

aleriaaa · 12-10-2009, 01:59 PM

Lady Gaga in the hello kitty dress!

aleriaaa · 12-10-2009, 02:02 PM

is an ounce like the size of a thumb??? you poor thing..

msgirl · 12-10-2009, 02:19 PM

I had left over chicken from last night for lunch.

Finishing off some lean ground beef for supper....it seems to hold me longer
