I forgot Patty! I am so sorry! Patty - all that planning is going to pay off. Just sit tight. You are doing the plan as you should and I bet once your schedule settles down, the scale will go down too. :)
Hi Uki and everyone...Uki I so appreciate your words of support...it takes a long time to reply so caringly to each of us....hope you know how much it means. Sounds like several of us have been struggling lately...and I am not sure I deserve Uki's praise...I had a period of struggle...about 3 and a half hours of eating inappropriate way off program stuff and this am. I feel awful physically and emotionally...but...I am right back on track and headed for the gym, even though feeling icky and should be going to work early re several reports that are due...Uki thanks for reminding me to look back so many months and remember where I was then...I know a few hours of struggles on one day won't undo that...it could if I let it escalate, but I won't. Thanks again for all the support and encouragement. Hang in there everyone.....maajida
Hi everyone. This is the first chance I've had to stop by the board. Thanks Uki for the concern and encouragement; it really means a lot to me.
Yesterday was going Ok until the eve. and then I caved again for junk food. When I went to the store last week it was at an odd time and I really wasn't prepared with a good shopping list and had left my coupons at home for some stuff. It ended up that I really didn't shop for me at all so therefore I'm having trouble with food this week b/c I don't have my "stuff" and it's part of the reason I'm binging on stuff in the other cabinets. Sounds like excuses, huh? Even though I really don't have the time, I am stopping by the store after work and getting "my stuff" tonight. Another thing is I'm stressed to the max. this week. My son is having problems at school (I'll spare the details at the moment), I'm working 2 jobs, my little one is sick and I've lost a lot of sleep...on top of the big birthday party is Sat. and I haven't done anything to prepare for it. That's not entirely true, the garage is ready to decorate, I just need to "do it." Speaking of the party...does noone RSVP these days when invited to something? This really bugs me b/c I don't know how much food to buy or how big a cake to make or anything.
Ok...today, so far, I've been OP. I know what I'm making for dinner and I will be pretty busy with no time to nibble later. I'm back to taking it one hr. at a time I think. I hope everyone else is doing good.
Thanks Uki, maybe I'll give the library a try. I did go shopping today and got some low pt. side dishes to try out. I'm OP today and getting ready to take the dog to the vet for rabies shot. Have a great day everyone.

I was shopping all day today. Have been trying to get a jump start on all my holiday "food stuff" with the kids all coming. I was armed with my list, coupons, and even a notebook of all the stops I had to make, etc. It just goes smoother for me if I am a little organized and prepared!
I do have three of the grands starting tomorrow night through Sunday sometime, so had to buy extra food for them (ages 3-9). I will keep them busy and out of the kitchen, maybe.
Uki, you are the greatest encourager! I appreciate the time you spend on here and giving us that special boost we need for the moment. It means a lot.
I've been OP all day and now ready to go to bed!!!
I've had a great OP day today. Should have eaten a little more b'fast for more energy, but otherwise did fine.
