Very good ideas, Ang. For some of us, measuring is a lot of trouble

though. I use clothes instead. Pick out a pair of tight slacks and try

them on weekly. You can really tell they are getting looser. When they

get very loose, pick another tight pair. This is a really good motivation

for me.

LOL. I do that as well.

I have a pair of 32 mens levi that I am determend to get into. Last

year I got my feet into them ok, but even my calves wouldn't got

through the lower legs. They went up just to my knees (how sad!)

At the begining of this year I could get them up to my thighs. Then

this summer I could jump and wiggle them up over my hips but there

was a good 7 or 8 inches of NO WAY zone between the zipper. LOL

Hmmm - ya know what - I'll try them on again today and get back to

you with the report - well see how things are moving along.

The thing is - even when I can get into them - they are the nastiest

pair of jeans! There's no way I'd want to wear them! LOL.

When I go on my occasional walks, I take my walkman with me and I listen peppy

marches! That is a great help!

G!!

[Guest guest]

i just bid on a walkman for casettes on ebay for the same reason, and

the fact that i won a denise austin country walking tape and the

jenny craig walking tapes. i'm excited, hopefully i get the tape

player so that i can listen to them, or else i guess i'll have to go

to k-mart or target. oh well it was definitely worth it.

and i know the deal with good music, i have some dance cd's that i

got for when i do the treadmile or health rider.

This is from Tory, when I had a similar crisis.

I'm not sure what the answer is, but if it were me I would:

1. Get my behind to a meeting right now. Get some support around you.

2. Preplan my meals all day at the top of your points with treats built

in. That way I know I can't add anything to it.

3. Find a way to carry around my journal. Do you have a Palm or Pocket

PC? Maybe if you have it with you and journal food before you put it

into your mouth, you can decide right then and there what you can and

cannot eat. Then put that part aside, throw it away, pour lots of salt

on it, do whatever you need to do to not eat it. For example, with the

school lunch. Stop off at the trash can before you sit down, dump off

the stuff you don't want to eat, and THEN sit down.

Personally, I'm a teacher, and I avoid school lunches at all costs. I

bring either Lean Cuisine type things or leftovers from the previous

night's dinner. That way I know what I'm eating.

4. If you can't seem to commit yourself to eating right for your weight,

maybe start journaling at fitday.com or something like that so you can

see the percentage of fat and sodium you are putting into your body. Do

this for your health. It sounds like NOTHING on that school lunch tray

was good for anyone. (Isn't that sad? No wonder we have so many fat

kids.)

5. I know it sounds simplistic, but just do it! Stop making excuses!

Stop looking for reasons! Yes, there are going to be volunteer

breakfasts. There will always be another school lunch. Just do it!

Subway, 's, Harvey's. Chicken sandwiches without the mayo. Ham or

turkey subs without mayo.

I get the chicken border bowl, no dressing, at taco bell. 8 points and VERY

filling. Staying away from my kids' nachos is a challenge, though...

Mc's Chicken Ceasar Salad Shaker is only 2 points - 3 with the fat free

dressing packet.

My favorite is KFC - 7 points for 3 strips, and 2 more for the mashed

potatoes. You can't have a meal for much less than those 9 points.

Happy meals are always a stand-by. Usually a hamburger is between 4 and 6,

and fries between 4 and 5 - so for 8-11 points you're set. 's is a

favorite with a 5.5 hamburger and 4.5 fries. You can add the kid-size frosty

or a chili for another 3.5 if you're really hungry.

I highly recommend getting either a WW dining out book, or spending some time

at dwlz.com in her restaurant section to familiarize yourself with your

favorite restaurants. Find out what the points are on your usual orders, and

form a " contingency plan " for when you *have* to eat out (or just want to -

we all deserve a treat on occassion). Stay away from beef, anything fried,

and always order without sauces. You'll do fine

-Crys-

(Lifetimer since August 1995)

WW to date: 178.6/ 138.6 / 140   (-40.0)

Weight in 2003: 139.6 / 138.6 / 130 (-1.0)

January Goal: 137

February Goal: 135

March Goal: 132

April Goal: 130

May Goal: 127

June Goal: 125

And then, we'll see...

I'm not crazy; I'm just a little unwell.

I know, right now you can't tell.

But stay a while and maybe then you'll see

a different side of me.

I'm not crazy; I'm just a little impaired.

I know, right now you don't care.

But in a while you're gonna think of me,

and how I used to be.
