12:38 pm	3 days until weigh-in. Small changes... my hands look smaller....errr thinner. My favorite ring fits....my fingernails look better. 5lbs off and I notice tiny tiny changes... I guess when you think about it, 5 poinds isnt a small amount. working on the next 5lbs, weight-in is on Thursday and I'm looking forward to it. Friends have been very supportive this week. Yay! Tried the "diet" ice cream at stone cold creamery....ICK! I only had about 3 bites and it made my stomach hurt really bad....lots of cramping. I made some phone calls and found out that the sugar substitute they use causes stomach cramping. thanks guys. I wont be eating ice cream for a while. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

3:24 pm	Getting the hang of this.... Online community searching for support is good..and I'll keep it up. Trying to make new friends. I weighed in on Thursday and lost another 2.8lbs. Of course, I feel like it's never enough. But, 2.8 is good for a week. My total lost so far is 5.4 lbs. My first realistic goal is to lose this 22lbs I've been rollercoastering for years. After that, I'll be so very close to my 10% and after that I'll have to re-evaluate and make another goal. That's as far in the future that I can see right now. I'm feeling like the black sheep again, I didnt get invited to a birthday party and I know the reasons why and it had nothing to do with me...but, my great self esteem butts in on reality and tells me that it's because I'm a fat ass...or not good enough or whatever other explaination I can come up with that is my fault to make me feel bad. I need to work on this. In the spirit of being honest...Self esteem is an issue for me. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

1:16 pm	precurser to week 3 I've been taking trimspa...just to see if it makes a difference. I'm pretty ashamed. yesterday I didnt eat until 3:30pm. Then I got a chicken fajita pita from Jack in the crack. In my last bite was an unidentified object...it looked organic in nature, but either way, I almost threw up. This is why I dont like eating meat, there's always a part of the animal in your meal that you dont want in there....wether it be a tendon or bone chunk, just something to remind you that this thing you're eating was once a functioning animal. eww. (I'm a little obsessive). So, a friend told me that there was free pizza from a local shop last night and I ordered. The smallest one, the healthiest one, but, I ate the whole thing. A whole pizza! it was a 10 incher. I've been doing so good....I felt so awful and for the first time in the history of my fathood, I puked. I wont say wether it was on purpose or not, the point is, I puked!~ This shocks me. It makes me think I have an eating disorder. It was a total binge. I know I was hungry, only having the pita all day....but still! I woke up today feeling better though. Back on track. no more binging or puking or anything of the sort. I intended to eat breakfast, but didnt get a chance. Now it's 1pm and I still havent had anything except 12 oz or crystal light and 12 oz of water and 2 trimspa pills. As silly as I find affirmations, I'm going to give it a try. sticky notes will be residing on my bathroom mirror and my fridge by this evening. Tomorrow is weigh-day, I'm nervous. (Comment on this)

1:10 pm	week 2 Plus .4 not a huge deal...but, it's still plus. Going in the wrong direction. This will get more detail the further I get. I feel like I got thrown off by the 3 lb loss. Maybe a little too comfortable in the routine. (Comment on this)

12:18 pm	Beginings I've started Weight W's again. updates to follow. I feel pretty good about it. I'm looking forward to getting on an airplane without being so paranoid. Even movie theatre seats are a problem at this point. This is killing me. (Comment on this)
