Its not as an punishment for me. I was just a bit dissapointed in myself, and im over it.

Congratulations natalie. I hope all goes well with Peter

Sorry for the misunderstanding... I wasn't saying that this was your way of punishing yourself nor that you were going to take on this fasting forever. I'm totally cool with the eating veggies only thing, I do that myself, it's just that for me, I know I wouldn't be able to fast and only drink water and juice. Especially since I know that will make me super hungry and after the 2 days when I did eat real food I would probably eat the whole room up. LoL.

Anyway, you will do great Hun, so just keep on striving for your dream body / goals.

Hi everyone...just glancing through here.

Nataliejo i am so proud of you really I KNOW you will reach your goals and I hope i'm still sticking around when you get there.

Did someone say fasting? I think fasting is excellent for the body and soul. When your fasting, even if its not for spiritual reasons, its good to avoid arguments and tense, stressful situations and focus on good things, whether it be the good in you, the good in others, or the general good in the universe. If you are fasting to detox it is good to detox the mind too, so relax and meditate. You are beautiful within...you are beautiful without.



Take care everyone...I have been so bad this weekend...I ate only three times the whole weekend I'm in a bit of a rush now but wanted to pop in.

good job veronica!

To Pink: I'm with you haha, my weight is Idling between 207 and 206, but i'll get to 200 soon haha. I'm still trying to figure out my new eating habit, because my body can't handle the new weight and which you know that you body tends to gain all those weight back.

Thanks Kevi!

Guitar huh? Well, once you get that down you'll get all the ladies. LoL.. I know I go crazy for guys who play guitars. But are you learning how to play on your own? Eh... I'm still trying to learn the piano... After a year, I can barely read simple music without having to write down what key they are above the note... I got lullibys down packed... like Mary Had A Little Lamb. Hehe...

[Kevi12]

Yep, I'm learning it on my own I don't like being taught really, because I mostly won't get half of it. Haha

[Hope2]

Sounds like everyone is doing a great job! WOO HOO!

I wish I could play an instrument. I used to be able to play the piano, but I can't read the music anymore. If you don't use it you loose it (isn't that the truth, lol).. The gutair though, there is something about the gutair. You will get all the ladies Kevi!

Zero soda! Even with hearing everyone opening their cans...that crisp clean refreshing tooth decaying, sugar level raising sound of the soda can opening. You need to come play the guitar at my work so I can focus Oh yeah I forgot...although I did not eat much this weekend I sure was busy...managed to find the time to dance around the house tho

Congratulations on the weight loss Veronica

Hiya Hope...How are ya

Well bedtime for me have a good nite and an awesome tomorrow everyone.

[Hope2]

Hey pinkclouds!

I'm doing well. My husband and I decided to give it a real try. So we will see if he picks up the pase on his end. I still feel stress though about it all, of course. We've been seperated for 18 months now, and really really seperted the last 8 months, with doing half time with the kids etc. So it's hard to imagion really getting there. But we will see.

I'm a bit sick I guess at the moment, my stomach is so bloted, I'm not even going on the scale because I don't think it will be acurate untill I'm over this. My body is definatly changing though.. My butt I swear has droped down two inches it was higher, and now there is a downward slope... And I can cross my legs without them sliding off, or haveing to hold my hand on them. So there is progress going on.

I was a total soda holic like you. I had to have it literaly all day, I did that for years, and I wonder what damage has been done. It's freeky when you actually think about it. I have totaly switched to water, which is so weird since I hated water. I think since I quit smoking it's making this weight thing eiser. Not just because I can walk without getting so out of breath but because of the way I quit.

I told myself, you will allways enjoy smoking, you will always want to smoke, if you wait untill you want to stop that will never happen, but you have to do it anyway. And I did. Giving myself permishion to allways want to do something I enjoy, allowed me to quit in a way my brain could justify.

I'm doing that with food too. Like with the soda, I will allways love soda, but so what, I have to cut it out. I have found that I can get my water in and then some, because I got a zephyrhills bottle that has a squrt top. I just suck up water all day pritty much, and it's right there, I just refile from the tap. And I have a diet soda with dinner, which honestly isn't that "refreshing" anymore, I don't ushually finish it. It's amazing how much control our mind really does have.

It's also frestrating, I could have done this years ago, my life literaly would have been completly different, as I suffered from depreshion for many years. But what happened happend and so it couldn't have happened any other way, and I go from here where I am, and that's ok.

I have those wounderful indorphins now, that are racing through my body, and exercise really has been the missing link to my life, it's prity amazing.

Everyone is doing so great, I really found a SUPER GROUP!!!!!

I couldn't, and most importantly wouldn't have been able to sustain even the last 3 weeks without this forum. I really needed a group. I'm glade you all are here on this journey with me!!

Hey Pink Clouds!!
I love when you write in here, your all so wonderful.. I consider you all good friend, and Pink... You rock!!
But I know I will reach my goals, we can all reach them together. Working hard, Playing hard.

I gained weight although. Not so happy, but happy my bf isnt coming up for a couple weeks, will let me lose what I gained on our dates, holy meow.. I didnt know dating ( Restaruants) could have such an impact. I didnt binge, but I did eat bad stuff I think. I thought I was making good food choices. I am going to be very careful...and next time ..Salad is up and in order for lunch. Dinner can be more filling, seeing as I dont want to binge at night, which I did last night. So dissappointed. I was doing so well, but time to move on. As I said, so happy Peter isnt coming up for a couple weeks. He wants me to gain weight lol I think this is too cute and hillarious. He was so disappointed I didnt eat more.. he wants me back into the 280s ..guys ..never going back there. But I gained almost four pounds back ..oy vey .. not again!
I am going to eat smarter!

well thanks for your well wishes Pink..
love yas
always your friend

nataliejo,

You are such a sweet heart! You'll do great, and your doing great!

veronandez,

Woo HOO, broke into the 40's can't wait untill I'm there!!


Well guys,

I just read something today that was very interesting. It's called night eating syndrome NES. This totaly explains why my body only wanted/wants food at night.It seems to be an unofishial eating disorder. It's anorexic behavior during the day and bindgeing behavior (of sorts) only at night. I belive this was/is my problem. But I am forcing myself to eat during the day now, and giving myself fruit and tones of water at night. Thought maybe this info could help someone else. Google it if you want or need to know more. It helped me understand my crazy body. So pritty much I have to eat when I'm not hungery (during the day) and not eat when I'm starving (at night)... Well I've survived so far, the last 2/3 weeks, I'll make it!

Well I've survived so far, the last 2/3 weeks, I'll make it!

So they have a name for it! lol I do the same thing hope, last night I binged on cookies, expensive ones to and my mothers. She was so pissed! lol which is good, because I wont eat the other package. I stopped eating at night for two to three weeks and I didnt eat enough at dinner last night, because the meal had too much pepper, so barely ate and well I binged last night. Once I binge one night, I start getting hungry every night, but I am going to be mindful ..mindful eating

Hope your good at eating fruit at night if you cant stop yourself.. I have A TON of fruit I have bought... its all good ..start with fruit and maybe you eventually will stop eating at night, thats what I did. I ate strawberries at night and one day finally decided I would reread my food addict book and really try out what she was saying, so I did it one night and said I am not going back and kept not eating at night, but I broke the restraints last night .. sucker on me! But tonight is a new night, another night to not eat. Its hard to control, but I had broken myself of the habit. BUT Your way is definitely a good way Hope.. if you cant break the habit, binge on fruit and water. Its just the act of eating for me. It made me hungry.. Thinking of food made my stomach hurt, like I was really hungry when I wasnt. You might want to invest in this books

Conquering your Food Addiction

ITs helped me lose about twenty pounds so far. And it just helps more and more the more I read and memorize how to change my behaviors. Or I cant post her mindfullness ideas on here, if you want to have some advice from the book

but keep trecking hun
your making good progress...
