Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Just checking in - Sue you are a source of never ending recipes - but I'm mostly a KISS (keep it simple stupid) cooker - I can cook well but all that measuring and trying to convert it to windows gives me a headache, so the only things I still make that involve multiple food groups are stews, chili and pepper steak LOL. My mom called and my sister tried to commit suicide again last night - they say she should be ok but she's on breathing machine now. We go through this with her pretty regularly - she's manic depressive, bi-polar. I thought she was doing well but then something came up and I think she felt her back was against the wall and whenever that happens she does this. So I'll head up to the hospital soon. I won't deal with this by eating - I will not. So please say a prayer, thanks. I've passed 44 oz so far today. I did 15 on the bike - food's doing ok - planning chicken and dumplings for dinner w/ broccoli or green beans. guess I'll try making the chicken in the crock pot and see how that goes. I'll figure lunch out soon. Still have the dumb cold. Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's when you've had everything to do, and you've done it.- Margaret Thatcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 I will be praying for you and your family. We have had to deal with similar issues in the past. I can certainly sympathize. Hold firm to your resolve to not eat your way through this. You can't indulge in self-abusive behavior even on a small scale. Best wishes and lots of love!

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 thanks - I just got back from the hospital - she's out of it, she's on the respirator but they say that she will probably be off it tomorrow. She opened her eyes once but then began to thrash around a bit - then went right back out of it. it wasn't posted that she's allergic to latex, so 1 good thing came out of me going up there. they have her in restraints but it's the same kind she's broke out of before - so I can only pray that she's cooperative as she comes to. they say they didn't give her anything - everything was a result of the drugs she took last night.

Good job saying you won't eatto deal with it. You know food won't make you feel better. Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 does walking the stupid hospital count for extra exercise - ok I must also confess that I used the valet parking - which I never do but would of never made it otherwise, and of course there was an elderly, hunched gentleman using a cane coming from the parking lot - not even the handicapped parking area. oh well Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 CloudEight Stationery, Free Email Stationery, Halloween III: The Haunted Art of Dennis , WITCHES BREWthanks for your prayers - some days it seems never ending, I'm just afraid for the day when she actually succeeds.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 > Something was growing in the bottom of the fridge. NASTY NASTY... That happens to me when there's some fruit or veggie in the bottom drawer, left side that rolled back there and got forgotten. The way this kitchen is set up, that drawer can't be opened all the way so it's easy to miss. I agree, a nasty job, and made worse because I *can't* remove that drawer. It came with the apartment so we have no control over it, too. >SO then I think WHY bother. I get like this all too often, especially after those days I've been eating on-plan and *gained* weight. The trick is to shake those feelings off and get right back up and start again. Then > I say because I feel like ****... LOL I know *this* feeling, too! Dairy plays a number on my arthritis & sinuses, yet I keep reaching for the cheese. > So I have to go back to basics. I dont know how many times I have said this It doesn't matter how many - as long as you DO. >I feel like such a failure. No, you feel *human*. Remember, our bodies are designed to want to eat. We have to go against evolution to lose weight, and that's a tough battle. >YES I WILL TAKE CANDY from a kid. You're not the only one, especially right after Halloween when thre is so much of it floating around the house. > NOW TO FILL it tomorrow. Any suggestions... Some fruit... Skim milk... > I have stocked up on slimfast meal bars. I use them as an afternoon snack. Try Luna's Clif Bars next time they're on sale. All natural ingredients and " made for women " , meaning each one has soy in it. >So please bare > with me while i restart my efforts. ) : Why the frown? Of course we're here with you!

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 >I ate breakfast and because I'm out of that habit I was STARVING all day You were hungry *because* you ate breakfast? Maybe you had too many simple starches, like sugary cereal or white bread toast, instead of complex carbs and protein? If it's too late for toay's breakfast, at least make sure you have a morning snack planned to hold you over until lunch time. >Ended up eating way too many dill pickles Don't be surprised if the scale today shows a slight gain - these things are super salty. >way over on water. Blame the pickles. But you can never have too much water (Well, rarely, but that's very extreme). Remember, the *minimum* is 8, 12-ounce glasses a day, according to what wrote in the SlimAway Everyday book, and studies show that a half ounce of water per pound of body weight is the ideal amount, more if you're sweating a lot.
