Sorry about faux TOM! Whether your numbers showed it or not, it sounds like perimenopause is a way of life. I have had tons of symptoms, including not having TOM for 9 months, and my numbers are fairly normal. I don't trust them because I know what my body does, and it's not fun.
Diana, you may think you're not doing well, but look how long you have maintained a very large loss. That is a huge victory. Life happens, but you have not gained back that weight. Pat yourself on the back, friend. ![]() Sending you lots of love today. And, everyday for that matter!![]()

Thank you Sue!
Those were some very profound words and I always forget the maintaining part of this. I guess we are always continually maintaining aren't we.I need to remember that!! Love Ya! ![]() |

I was having a moment where I was thinking about this woe and I wondered if any of you feel this way. I was thinking what a sacrifice I make everyday eating this way. I mean, this is really hard to do, in a way. . .even though we get to eat good whole food. Why do I want to eat sugar still sometimes. Whether it be in bread, pasta or something sweet. Why does that still call to me??
I was thinking about the reason why I feel like that eating it and sometimes I don't. Is because I've got some sugar in my body and it's craving it, is it TOM or is it just cuz I'm weak and I need a fix because sugar is my drug. Why do I break down and go for the sweets? Isn't that weird? Anyway, I just want to be able to get through a day without craving anything and I know that is only possible if I don't eat anything with sugar. But how do you completely get away from it? It's in some foods we eat, very minute but still some. But back to the sacrifice thing. I think we do make big sacrifices, I consider this good though, but so very hard! I'm in this for the long haul, I'm going to get down to my weight. It will take time but if the Lord tarries, I'll make my goal!! So on I go, I may mess up along the way, I hope I don't, I don't plan on it, but I really want to do well. I hope we all do well, it's just funny how I am. I know that a woe that allows to lose weight is only as good as the person doing it. So if I want to lose, then I'll have to do this right and the way it supposed to be done. Well, that's it. I just had to vent again and get that out of my system. I'll never know why I can do so good, check my ingredients out carefully and then crave sugar. Makes no sense. I hope someone steers me right! Love Ya!! ![]()

I'm here!!!!!!
Well, you know I can relate to your post. it is a sacrifice...especially if we look at low carb as a lifestyle change. For the past week and a half I was doing soooo good, no cravings nothing....then it was my husbands bday....and just LOOKING at the cake set off a craving. If I had not had the cheat, I KNOW I would be in the 180's by now, and you probably would have been in the 190's. So we either sit there and deal with the craving (which is easier said than done) or we give in to temptation and screw up all the hard work we did for the week. For me.....I think it is helping having small goals, it keeps me more accountable. I also write everything down...not my menu, but what I "hope" to weigh at the end of the week. Why do I feel like I am rambling in YOUR journal?!?!?! Sorry! Sugar is scary, it really is a form of temptation....just not good for us.

Boy can I relate, Diana. It seems that sometimes diets set you up for failure with all the restrictions. And, what makes it so difficult is that others around you are eating all that junk and enjoying themselves.
But, is the joy we receive from the junk food we eat really worth it? For me it never has been. And, now that I have stomach cancer, I wonder if it is some way that I ate that caused this. I'll never know, but what it does make me want to do is put the best foods in my body for health. It has put a new light on eating healthy for me. I may never go back to LC - I just don't know. But, I sure am thinking more about what I put in my mouth. You'll get this all figured out Diana. Ask the Lord for insight. He will give it to you. ![]() |

Wow, Diana, I completely LOVE your post about sacrifice. Isn't is a brain-teaser when we KNOW the best choice...but for some reason, choose the wrong one??
Treat yourself the way Jesus would. It's the good old WWJD, except more personal. I need to say this to myself more and more often. Thanks for sharing your journey and insight. Love you |

Good Morning Dear Ladies.... Just to throw something in. One of my doctors told me one time that it is not good for me to do without all sugar. Now, silly me, didn't ask him why, and I should have...
Girls it all comes down to this. If we take in more calories then what we burn, then we are not going to lose. I still believe that reasoning. I have been on so many diets over the years that it really slowed my matabo. We all have to find what works, and wish you all much success with your WOE... Be Blessed...

Hi Patty!! Hi Ladies!!
Yes, everyday is a new day! I love that. Let's not waste the day dwelling on the past, but lets look forward to the good things that God has in store for us!!! I'm doing good, still on plan and hoping by next I'll finally reach my long time goal of getting under 200!! My eating is on plan and I feel great! Today, DH and I have been cleaning house, rearranging furniture and just taking care of things that need to get done! I'm so glad that we are doing this. I'm wondering how many cals will be burned from cleaning house for 4 hours? Off and on of course, I've been standing alot too. Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful day! Let's stay on plan!!! |

Diana I don't know how many calories you have burned, but moving furniture is a calorie burner. I figure when I do my Dance Aerboics, I am burning 600 cal. in an hr.
You are doing great... |

hi Diana
good luck for getting down to 200. i hope the scales will be good to you. ![]() and thank you for the oopsie roll link. i really am not a baker though. i can cook and i'm quite good if i do say so myself. but as for baking i've just never had the knack.i remember when i was little i use to like making treats for my father. they always came out flat, black and hard as rocks but dad would always pretend they were delicious and force a couple down. ![]() things really haven't improved in the baking department since those days. ![]()
