Hey Constance, your powers of restriction are pretty impressive!! I couldn't help but notice, you drink lots of coffee in a day hey? I'm exactly the same. I tried to cut back, but I got such wicked headaches that I figured it's not worth it for me to give up, lol.

Congrats on your 2.2lbs! At the rate you're going, another 8.8lbs will fall off in no time!

Hey music....usually I have about 3 coffees a day. Yesterday, I had a long business meeting and just kept accepting the refills! lol

I wouldn't give my coffee up though...especially my morning 2.
Those are like oxygen to me!

It is a good morning, ladies!!

[constance]

Just some babble....

That's great that all your hard work is paying off!!! You deserve to feel strong and proud of your accomplisments! We all know the hell we have to go through everyday to get where we want to be, so you have every right to feel a sense of satisfaction!

I lived with a guy once who's mom had some stomach stapling surgery. She used to be really overweight, but when I first met her after she had had the surgery, she was a skinny twig! BUT she still ate a horrible diet that I'm sure was lacking fibre and nutrients, because there was a long list of foods that she COULDN'T eat because those things wouldn't fit in the hole that leads to her stomach! That kinda freaks me out...I couldn't even imagine doing something like that, no matter how morbidly obese I got. I mean...like, what would happen if something got stuck there, you know?

Lol, I'm just being weird now, sorry.

Anyways, now I know everyone has their own reasons for doing something like, gastric bypass surgery and such, but it's true that they will never know the power of the will and they will never experience the sweet victory of staying in control of a situation and overcoming temptation. When they can't eat something, it's because they physically CAN'T. Ah well, that's my impression of things anyway.

Have a great day Constance!

hunny, i think you have every reason and right to feel good about the fact that you do not need an operation. and i know you don't mean this as talking down to the woman who does need it to lose weight. Cuz like you said, every one has their own struggles and issues, and some need surgery, and some don't. But that doesn't mean that you can't be proud of yourself. You have the willpower to do what you are doing. And that is something to be proud of! And i am very happy that you didn't opt for surgery. cuz for some people i may be the only way to lose weight, but it still involves many risks. so if you can lose it without surgery, that is always better in my opinion.
So you go girl!
but do listen to your hubby every once in a while when he says you are becoming too skinny, okay? cuz you might not see yourself in a realistic way, and if he is concerned about you, i would suggest you try to figure out if he is concerned for a good reason or not.
big hug!

[constance]

Thanks ladies...

I wanted to comment you back, but I just cant think this early in the morning, and on 3 hours of sleep.. and while blaring rap. Seriously rap puts me in an awesome mood cause alot of it is hilarious especially like the space jame theme from the 90s, jock jams is hilarious too. Wild wild west is hilarious too... I cannot not laugh. But yeah.. see this is why I shouldnt post early in the morning. Im gonna start quoting eminem in posts..

[constance]

Rap....

hmmm doesn't sound that good constance...freaking out over 100 cals. i understand how you feel tho, and am exactly the same. also there is always the risk of not just eating 100 cals, but ending up eating much more.
but still hunny, it's better for your metabolism to eat that fruit. you will keep your metabolism up by eating something every know and then.
could you have half a portion?

[AlicetheCamel]

Maybe you could try to think of the healthy food as ok because it will actually help you to lose weight, just like exercise, by pepping up your metabolism? ^_^ I sometimes try to think of foods in "pure" and "impure" terms, and fruit, being natural and low-cal is ok in these, whereas most carbs/processed foods are not. I don't know if that helps at all, but I hope so - fruit is good for you!! You'll feel and look better if you eat it.

Thinking of you! x
