Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Moe - you can vent here anytime. You're dealing with a big change, even though temporary, and you're still adjusting to it. But you can do it. I know you can, because I've read previous posts from you that tell me that you know how to work this program! So, please . . . take a deep breath and don't wait to regather your focus -- do it now! Even though your DH is messing up your schedule, you can still work the program. Eat with him -- even late at night, if you want to. But eat the things you know will keep you on program. Hide some dang snickerdoodles if you need to !! -- I do that. Or, I sometimes put two containers in the freezer....one that says " for the family " and one that says " touch this and die!! " LOL!!!!! Come on, Moe - you can DO this!!!!!

Ohhh, can I relate! DH was off for nearly 11 weeks--first vacation, then surgery. This was his first week back and I am trying to get everything done that couldn't be done when he was home. A total lack of structure. It's bad because I own and operate a microbusiness. I NEED structure in order to run my business!!! I need structure to just feel human. And DH is just the opposite. I turn to popcorn for comfort. With the ICBINB spray, now I won't feel sooooo bad!!! What comfort foods does everyone turn to?

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Moe, Getting out of a routine can be tough. I'm struggling a little this week with the week off from work. Good for you for recognizing the problem and attacking it!!! One burning question --- what on earth is a " snickerdoodle " ?

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 I'm like that too. I get into my routines and need to have everything a certain way. Then when it gets messed up, I go nuts. I hope you get your routine back!!!!!!! Stamping Scrapbooking Mommy wrote: Alrgiht I am starting from scratch.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Snickerdoodles are similar to sugar cookies but they are rolled in cinnamon and sugar before they are baked, and they taste a little more buttery. I can't believe you've never had one! YUMMM They are my husbands favorite cookie but we usually end up eating the balls of dough before they ever get baked. They are high points too, I think I figured 5 points each, so I don't make them very often anymore. Kris _____ From: Mitch Javeline One burning question --- what on earth is a " snickerdoodle " ?

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 I go positively postal when my DH is home for more than one day. _____ From: Stamping Scrapbooking Mommy Sent: Monday, December 29, 2003 4:07 PM To: Serious-Weight-Watchers Subject: BIG SCREAM Alrgiht I am starting from scratch. I have been a nervous wreck with my DH being home for 2 months and it's just driving me insane. I just want to eat! I am a structured person and he has goofed up our schedule. We are up late, sleeping late and eating junk. I think my main problem has been the sleeping thing. I am totally off schedule and eating breakfast at 9-10am lunch at around 2pm and dinner I am really not hungry for. I am tired all the time......again I think from the goofy sleep pattern. And my head is in a whirl wind of DH and the TV blarring (DS and I keep the TV off during the day when DH is at work), DS 3yrs old jabbering constantly and then my normal work routine plus DH wanting 3 meals and snacks all day long......he is one of those skinny people who can just eat and eat. I feel like sitting down and eating with him everytime he does. I baked a batch of low point snickerdoodles to keep in the freezer for a sweet snack and he is in there grazing on them all the time!! Ok, thinks for letting me vent. He has only been home since Christmas Day so I think we are just adjusting to each other ) It's like this every year when he is on vacation, but this year I am on WW and working at eating more healthy and boy I am finding it's hard! I have gained 6 lbs in December and I really need to be diligant and make this forever!!! Thanks for listening. Moe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 > > I go positively postal when my DH is home for more than one day. LOL......this has been going on for the last 10 yrs and I get used to it after a few weeks and then when it's time for him to go back to work I really miss him! He normally works 6 days a week 7am-5pm so he is gone alot the rest of the year. I journaled dinner tonight and measured my food, so I am back on track. I just needed a good shove in the right direction ) Thanks Moe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
