Did I tell you all that I'm a grandma for the fourth time?? New Year's Eve baby up in British Columbia! We are FINALLY getting ready to buy plane tickets. (No job, no disability pay for 6 months puts a cramp in your wallet) I am so excited!! Now I hope I can squeeze into an airplane seat. I'm about 5 pounds bigger than the last time we flew, and it's a 7+ hour flight to Seattle before a 4 hour drive.

AND I think I'm selling a pretty good sized account this week. (Hope hope hope) because otherwise I'm WALKING to Canada, we won't afford the rental car!

AND I get my Unemployment Hearing on Friday for the 6 months I was laid off. I really hope they decide in my favor so I can pay back the loans we took out!

Lotta stuff happening, so there will be a lot of stress (good and bad). AND baby girl left to go back to college this afternoon so it's kinda sad.

You will all now be responsible for holding me accountable for healthy eating so I can manage all the stress. I already have tuna and boiled egg at the office, so no excuses tomorrow.

[QUOTE=Mim;15327809]Good afternoon! I really appreciate hearing everyone's stories. It is a reminder that I am not alone in my struggle. I was seeing a therapist years ago and she had me bring in pictures of myself as a young person. When I pulled the pictures out, I was shocked to see that I was not fat! Ahhh yes, I was told I was fat from an early year. But this is now and that was then and I'm going to let go of the hurts and the fat![/QUOTE

Letting go of the hurt AND the fat ~~~~ YES! I let too many people hurt my feelings but now it's also hurting my knees carrying this extra weight. I'm ready to let it go!!

I did not know til now there were so many of us in this boat. My stepmom was the first to convince me I was a hideous atrocity. I couldn't appreciate how pretty I used to be until just lately. I have even started to let my picture be taken, and if I ever get a good figure back, I won't take it for granted!

I am ready to celebrate LIFE. Ready to celebrate who I am today!! I'll be skinnier tomorrow, but I am ok with the decent, caring human being who takes care of herself today!

My mother in law and my stepmom have no power over me unless I give it to them. They have held it too long as it is, I'm taking it BACK!!

[Mim]

Oh Christine - congratulations on the new baby! I have a granddaughter whose birthday is January 2. I hope you get the finances worked out. I was unemployed for 8 months and am just now caught up on bills. Don't you just love trying to make ends meet!

Brrrrrrr - a bit breezy!

[Mar922]

I need some shrimp ideas I am getting bored with just plain shrimp (already, its bad I know haha) I usually do it with soy sauce a bit of pb and spme hot sauce and serve it with shiritaki noodles, but what are other ways I can make it, maybe a sugar free teriyaki? what else?

[Amgarrett616]

I got some Cajun seaoning and sprinked it on them. Your way sound much better

[Mar922]

I tried lactose free milk in my coffee this morning its not bad! and i think its roughly the same amount of carbs as my cream so thats good too and seeing I am a little lactose intolerant this should help some of my tummy issues!

Its the little things that excite me, folks haha

[Amgarrett616]

I guess I'm a cheater. I am still using creamer. Not much, and it's sugar free, but I refuse to budge on my coffee. I'm losing steady, so I guess it's not too bad.

What brand of lactose free are u using?

I always used cream and lost well before, I am just having so many tummy issues that I am trying to cut certain things out to see what is causing them, I have a feeling its dairy

I use the Lactaid brand

Although, I am wondering if its lasctose free and the lactose is the milk sugar, where is the sugar coming from that is listed on the nutritional stats?

[Amgarrett616]

Hmmmmm. Idk. Intetesting tho. I have heard so
Much about artificial sweeteners stalling you that I cringe when I use them, but again, I won't budge on my coffee, and I guess it's the lesser of the two evils.

Have u checked the sugar free powered creamer? Would that
Make a difference?

I could try that, I shoul just start drinking my coffee black but thats not gonna happen! haha

[Amgarrett616]

U know, when I'm at the office I started drinking black with splenda and although I thought I'd hate it, I kinda don't. *shrug*
