HAPPY LABOR DAY WEEKEND!!!!
I think I'm finally on the upward swing of this infection. I'm still dealing with the everyday care, but it's sooooo much better. The redness is almost gone and swelling is better. I still have to pack it twice a day (TMI - sorry) and that is very painful but I'm still much better than before. Getting stronger everyday.
Sorry, I feel like I've just abandoned the blog. I'm still keeping my menus in my handy dandy notebook (yes, I've been watching Blues Clues with my niece- LOL). I'll post them when I can.
Going to try to enjoy the last hoop-la of the summer and I'm going to go to the Labor Day Festival. Hubbies gonna drop me off so I don't have to walk as far. He's a great guy. :)

Hey all,
I'm still here.
I had surgery yesterday. I'm moving kind of slow. I've been fighting infection since the 1st week of August. I'm hoping I'm on the tale end of it now.
I am keeping track of my menus on paper and will list them soon. Sorry to say they have not been low carb.
Hope everyone is doing fine. I will catch up when I can.

I stayed home today see the doctor again. I have a bad infection and the doc wants to keep an eye on it.
Something that was said to me yesterday has my head spinning. I was talking to a dietitian friend of mine yesterday. I work with her. I was talking about my diabetes and this infection I have (which is the 2nd major one in 2 months now), I'm a little worried because this is what my Dad died from (complications of an infection due to diabetes). So I share my worries with her that I'm only 40 and I'm scared that complications are starting to arise in my health due to diabetes. I have worked with her in the past on my menus and my diabetes. She doesn't believe in Low Carb at all and makes it known to me frequently that she doesn't think I should be Low Carbing and doesn't believe it is the best thing for my health or my diabetes. We have went many rounds about this and we just usually agree to disagree. She again told me yesterday that I should be following the ADA diet recommendations. I again told her that even that diet was too high in carbs for me, that eating that many carbs per meal raises my BG so high I have to end up taking more insulin. (Okay, this is where it gets my head spinning) She told me that it's because I have been low carbing for so long that I have damaged my body's own ability to handle that many carbs and because I have been eating this way I may have done permanent damage to my body. This lady is a registered Dietitian !
I have always believed that what I'm doing is right thing for me. But I can't help but wonder, she has went to school, trained and worked in nutrition for more than 20 years. Could she be right?
Just for your FYI she also has a thing with doctors telling diabetics what to eat because she believes they should be referring those patients to a nutritionist. We have had the disagreement about what my doc says, I've showed her Dr. Berstein's book etc.
I just want to know what I'm doing is right and right for me. <<-sigh->>

As you can see menus have not been pretty. I'm hoping this will get me back on track.
I'm still struggling with this depression I'm going through. I do feel a little better. So maybe I'm on the upswing of things. I buried my Mom 2 years ago today. Having a tough time of it this year and again I have been using food to get through it.
On a good note, we finally got our rental property rented. It is very small so it is hard to rent out. That should take some of the financial hardship off of us. It won't re-leave it all but it's sure gonna help.

I'm posting this from work on my lunch hour. I usually don't as I know big brother is always watching. But I'm to the point that I just don't care. I feel out of control. Like I'm going through a sort of depression. My food is out of control. I keep feeding myself to make myself feel better. (It's not working, but I keep doing it anyway). It's like trying to make a child feel better with a sucker, but I'm not feeling better.
Part of it is worry over losing my job and not being able to pay for my son's schooling. Part of it is the two year anniversary of my Mom's death coming up (I miss her sooooooo much). Part of it is not getting a new job that I applied for. And Part of it is.........I don't know. I feel my insides shaking and I don't know what to do about it. I've tried to calm it with my normal crutch (food).
I hope this will pass soon. I don't know what to do about it. I'm keeping myself busy with chores and work. Trying to get my mind calmed and not thinking about it. But no matter what I do, it's there.
Thanks for listening. This has been affecting me for a while now. Maybe just getting it off my chest will help.

Made a run up by Chicago today to a Meat market. They had a terrific sale going on. We packed up our coolers and took off. We got pork steak, pork chops, hamburger, breakfast sausage, rib tips all for $1.00 a pound. Chicken leg quarters for .79 cents a pound and chicken wings for .69 cents a pound. Our freezer is stocked for awhile. If I lose my job (state budget cuts) at least we will be eating for awhile. :) Since we were going so far to get it, we made it worth our while. We ended up getting over 100 pounds of meat. We rode with my brother and his wife and split the gas money as to not add to the cost of the meat. We made sausage patties and hamburger patties up then packaged the rest in easy smaller family serving sizes.

My Mother in Laws and Father in Laws 59th wedding anniversary party.
The party went over great. EVERYONE showed up. They had all of their children there but one son and one grandson, who lives in New Mexico (their son got sick with the gout and couldn't make the trip. One grandson is in the Army stationed overseas) It was a total surprise.

We have family coming in for my In Laws 59th wedding anniversary tomorrow. I will be making most of the food for the party. Lots of food everywhere.

I'm a little worried about my lunch today. We are having a carry in pot luck/baby shower. Since it's a baby shower too, I feel obligated to go. I was going to take a veggie tray but a friend of mine wanted my baked beans and said she would bring a veggie tray for me if I brought her my baked beans.
I've been reading Dr. Berstein's Diabetes Solution. Very interesting. So I've made some guidelines for myself to follow. The dr. recommends carbs being 6 breakfast / 12 lunch / 12 dinner. He also says for some it's better to ease into it (for BG reasons) So this is what I'm going to start with. The goal is to keep BG at a steady range, no high / low swings.
Goal
Breakfast 6 - 10 carbs / 14 - 20 protein
Lunch 12-20 carbs / ? protein
Dinner 12-20 carbs / ? protein
I haven't totally worked out the protein portion of this yet. According to Dr. Berstein it's what ever keeps you satisfied while keeping it consistent. So far the last few days my BG have been better than (my) normal. So I will have to tweak as I go.

I always feel like such a fraud when it comes to this blog. I'm not the 'low carber' I would like to be. I'm not a fine example and I'm not the perfect tool. I'm human, but does that give me an excuse. No, I think not.
Your get it live here folks. !!!!
Like I've always said, you get the good, the bad and the extremely ugly here at this 'low carb' blog. It's more of a time capsule (hence the name) of what I ate or am eating, rather than a low carb example for anyone. So please if your reading this, DON'T use me as an example for a low carb life style.
It is what it is. I'm a struggling 'low carber' who hasn't lost a pound all year because I keep screwing it up for myself. It's just my life. Believe it or not, I'm trying to change that.
A little insight on NewVision here: You can always tell when I'm stressed by my eating patterns. I'm a big time stress carb eater. Stress and sleeplessness gets me every time. I have both going on right now :( .
I wanted to respond to Harry's comment from Thursdays here. (Just in case Harry doesn't look at the responses.)
Harry, Your advise is ALWAYS welcome. I know that you are a very kind and gentle soul that is not going to run me through the ringer (or get mad if I don't take your advice)
So advise away!! Lord knows I need all the help I can get.

Still running a fever today. I hope I'm better by tomorrow, I have to drive my Auntie back home to Arkansas.
I got on the scale yesterday at the doctors office and thought for sure they were wrong. They read 234 with all my clothes on. I usually weigh first thing in the morning with nothing on. So I hopped on the scale this morning and it was 229. I wish now I had been weighing everyday so I would know how much of this weight loss has come from me being sick. It almost scares me to see those numbers. Will I gain it all back when I start eating again? If so, I don't want to start eating. Mixed feelings. I'm not hungry much at all.
Update: My fever finally broke around noon today. I'm still tired, but I feel much better.

I know it will all work itself out, but I'm still worried. :( I may have to take on a 2nd job on the weekends. I'm just not looking forward to it. I already put in 50 hours a week with my job now. I'm going to try and put it out of my mind until after my Aunt leaves......Oh, I forgot to tell you guys...
My Aunt is FINALLY coming home. She will be in Friday. YEAH!!! I can't wait. She is going to stay for 2 weeks and then I will take her back home (Arkansas). So I may be a little slow on the updating.

At work on Friday our boss sent out an email saying we had someone take our gift cards that we had been giving away as an incentive program to our clients. The email said that they had ran the card numbers and are intending to prosecute unless the person came forward today by noon. I was really hoping it was someone that I didn't know. It turns out that a girl that I talk to quite a lot was walked out by HR today. It made me sad. You think you know someone and really you don't. I don't know what is going to happen to her. She went through an awful divorce about a year ago and is now remarried. What will she tell her new husband? It really makes you wonder what is going through someones head sometimes.
Diet wise, I'm still struggling to hold on. I've never been very good at limiting my intake of food. I look at other blogs and wonder how in the world they do that. Am I just too centered around food? Maybe. But I don't know how to make it different. I tried to add more veggies today. I haven't been doing very well with the veggies lately.

Today was my Mom's birthday. She would have been 81 today. We lost her in August 2007 to lung cancer. I miss her more than I ever thought I would. I tried really hard not to let it bother me so much. But at the end of the day, when all the work was done, it sunk in. I caved and went to get chips and milk. They didn't make me feel better. I need to work on dealing with the mental pain and not turning to food to try to snuff out the emotional burn from within.
This morning (6-7-09 Sunday) I feel remorse over turning toward food for comfort. I'm such an addict.

I'm finally having that feeling of being in control. I was hungry today after lunch and went to the snack machine. I wanted some nuts. They had honey roasted peanuts. I was scared to even try them for fear that it would get my cravings roaring again.
My stress level has been running about a 9+ the last few days. My son lost some of his grant for his schooling. My siblings are not getting along right now. I'm trying my best just to stay out of that. I don't want to be drug into any squabble. It's hard when your all so close. I love them all and can see all sides of the issues. I've had the feeling of just wanting to go get a bag of chips and just zone out. But I haven't. I don't really know why I'm feeling so strong. It doesn't make any sense to me. Other than the fact that I'm the kind of person who falls apart AFTER the crisis is over and usually not during.

I got a call today from my son. He got a small pell grant last year to help out with some of his school expenses. His counselor called him in and he made too much money last year so he will NOT be getting it this year. Ok, I am SOOOOoo blown away. I can't believe this. So he is going to work everyday at 5am getting off at 12 to 12:30 then going to school at 2:15pm and has classes until 10:15pm EVERYDAY!!! So he is working his tale off and now he is being punished for it. How could this be. The kids who are just going to school and not working at all are getting the pell grants. It's not like he is making a lot of money, he is working for a lumber yard. He is paying his own rent, his own bills plus going to school. We (Hubby and I) are already making a good size payment to the school for the amount that was not covered by loans and grants. GRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!! It sure feels like he is being punished for working so hard.

I don't know why it works this way but when I go off my eating plan then try to go back on, I have no clue what to eat. Nothing sounds good. I'm craving everything I shouldn't have. I just keep wanting something, but don't know what. I sit and wonder what I can have and what I can't. Now, I've been low carbing on and off for years. Why is it when you go off plan you have these feelings? It is SOOOOOoooo easy to slip back to my old self. The one that just grabs a bag of chips or a snack from the vending machine when I'm hungry and tired. The old self that weighed over 300 pounds. (That last part, I keep reminding myself about, I don't want to be that old self ever again.)
Little insight here:
I have a bad habit of rewarding myself for doing things I don't want to do.
**I have to get up and go to work after only sleeping 2 hours, it's okay I can have a McDonalds sausage muffin or a bagel w/cream cheese.
**I have to mow the grass after working 10 hours and only sleeping 2 hours last night, it's okay, I can have a bag of chips.
**I have to clean the kitchen or do laundry after working 10 hours and only sleeping 2 hours last night, and push mowing the grass for 3 hours (it got dark and I had to stop), it's okay, I can have a milk shake for working so hard.
etc, etc, etc........
I HAVE TO STOP THIS, or find new ways to motivate myself that isn't so self destructive. It also has to be an immediate reward. Not something that I will 'say' I will do for myself or 'say' that I will buy myself. I'm a now kind of girl. Any suggestions?????

I don't know why it works this way but when I go off my eating plan then try to go back on, I have no clue what to eat. Nothing sounds good. I'm craving everything I shouldn't have. I just keep wanting something, but don't know what. I sit and wonder what I can have and what I can't. Now, I've been low carbing on and off for years. Why is it when you go off plan you have these feelings? It is SOOOOOoooo easy to slip back to my old self. The one that just grabs a bag of chips or a snack from the vending machine when I'm hungry and tired. The old self that weighed over 300 pounds. (That last part, I keep reminding myself about, I don't want to be that old self ever again.)
Little insight here:
I have a bad habit of rewarding myself for doing things I don't want to do.
**I have to get up and go to work after only sleeping 2 hours, it's okay I can have a McDonalds sausage muffin or a bagel w/cream cheese.
**I have to mow the grass after working 10 hours and only sleeping 2 hours last night, it's okay, I can have a bag of chips.
**I have to clean the kitchen or do laundry after working 10 hours and only sleeping 2 hours last night, and push mowing the grass for 3 hours (it got dark and I had to stop), it's okay, I can have a milk shake for working so hard.
etc, etc, etc........
I HAVE TO STOP THIS, or find new ways to motivate myself that isn't so self destructive. It also has to be an immediate reward. Not something that I will 'say' I will do for myself or 'say' that I will buy myself. I'm a now kind of girl. Any suggestions?????

This weekend I decided would be a little more relaxed than last weekend. Last weekend I cleaned my kitchen. I took all the pictures off the walls, everything from on top my Fridge, freezer and cabinets. I washed down all the walls, cabinets and the ceiling(yes, the ceiling). We bought a new rug and laid it down, then put eveything back together again. We mowed not only our property but my in-laws as well. We also decorated the graves for Memorial Day. We also celebrated my Mom-in-laws birthday on Saturday. :-)
Today I did general house cleaning. My son and I went through some of the boxes he had in his room from when he moved. Took a nap, planted some flowers and did a little yard work. It's 10:30pm and we just had dinner. So it was a little more relaxed but still busy.

I was woke early this morning. My son (who is away for school in Indy) went out to his car and found it had been broke in to. They broke out his passenger side window. They got his school tool box with ALL his tools (he is studying mechanics), his Tom-Tom (navigational device) and his radar detector. Those things alone add up to quite a bit of money. We don't know what else might have been taken. Since it was still dark when he went out to go to work the thought crossed his mind that the thieves might still be in the area and went back into the apartment to call 911. He is ok, he was quit upset and felt very violated.
Update: Once their was enough light to go outside. He noticed another guy looking at his car. Yep, you guessed it his car had been broken into too. The man also informed him of 2 others that had also been broken in to. At least we know my son wasn't singled out. Not that it makes it any better. But we were worried maybe someone had been watching and waiting. I will update again later.
Update #2 At least 10 others were broken into. The apartment manager said she had been there for 15 years and nothing like this has ever happened. We are hoping my son's renters insurance will cover some of the loss. <-Crossing fingers->
He got another window, him and his Dad are outside now putting it in.
When he came in to call us he knew his Dad was at work and I was sleeping. So he called his Aunt Linda who works nights as a driver and can always answer her phone. He told her the story and said to her 'Aunt Linda they stole my Tom-tom.' Her response was 'Oh man, not your Tom-tom.' Later on in the day she called me 'What in the heck IS a Tom-tom? He made it sound so important and I didn't want to seem dumb, so I just tried to be as supportive as possible, figured I would ask you later." --We've been laughing over that one all day. :)

Well could have been better, but as we know from my past blogs, it could have been worse.
I'm sorry that I haven't been making my rounds on some of your blogs. Mowing season is rough on us. Since my son is in Indy this year in school we don't have his help. He use to mow my mother in laws and father in laws property and most of ours. Now its all on us. We are mowing 3 to 4 evenings a week. Good exercise, right! Anyway, I do lurk most days. I just don't always have the time to comment. But I'm out there, really.

A friend of mine passed on a story to me today. I thought I would pass it on to you.
An elderly couple had been married for 50 years. One morning for breakfast the couple was sharing their normal breakfast of cereal and a slice of toast. The man butters the toast and hands his lovely wife her slice, the heel of the loaf. She looks at her husband and says 'George, we have been married for 50 years, for ONCE I wish you stop being so selfish and give me the good slice of toast instead of the old heel'. The man looks at his wife in confusion and says to her. 'Gladys, the heel of the bread is the best part of the loaf, for 50 years I have been giving you my favorite slice.'
It's all about COMMUNICATION, Communication, communication.

Trying very hard to stay on track.
We've been dog sitting. We have had the dog for about 3 months now. When Neeko came to our house he was very sick and very underweight. He had kennel cough, hook worms, severe diarrhea, hair loss and was about 30 pounds underweight. We have taken him to the vet many times. He is really starting to get better. He had even gained about 8 pounds in just the last 2 weeks.
Tonight the owner (who is a friend of my sisters and who we haven't seen in over a month) just came and took the dog. When I tried to object because Neeko is still on meds for a hurt leg. It didn't seem to matter to him, he loaded the dog up and took him. I told him if he takes the dog now, don't ever bring him back. I know that sounds cruel but, I don't want to love the dog and have him jerked away from me. Then I'm up half the night worrying about a dog that isn't even mine. :(

I made a saddle for Mom and Dad's grave, a saddle for my nieces graves, a basket for my Grandmas grave, and many more lil decorations for other relatives, both on my side and hubbys. It's something I started doing with my Mom after my Dad passed away (when I was 14 years old). We had done it every years since. Now that she has passed, I have continued on with it.

I mowed again tonight. I have never had the grass affect me like this. My eyes are a swollen, throat is sore.

, not to mention all the sore muscles I have from push mowing yesterday. I wasn't as sore as I thought I would be. So that's a good thing. I mowed again tonight. I have never had the grass affect me like this. My eyes are a swollen, throat is sore.

Worked 10 hours. Worked through lunch today. Came home pushed mowed grass for 3 hours. I finally came in from mowing at 9pm. It's still not done but it was too dark to see where I was mowing. I'm pooped. I woke and said I was going to get back on track. As you can see I didn't. It's ok, I'm doing the best I can do right now. I'm trying to stay moving and active, maybe that will help hold down the weight while I'm in my funk. I can't help but worry I'm undoing every good thing I've done.

Spent the day with my Mother in law and Father in law. We had a nice time. They always want us to go pick up a bucket of chicken. Fast and Easy. We just enjoy each other instead of spending the day cooking and cleaning. Works for me. :)

We went out tonight with my brother and his wife, my son and his girl friend to our local Moose Lodge for a dinner and dance. We closed down the place. We had been working hard all day so it was nice to go and unwind. It was a great band. The singer was actually the son of a guy we use to go listen to when we were first dating. Brought back a lot of memories. We all had a good time.

Good News:
Remember when I said this "One of my child hood friends has been in the intensive care burn unit. She has 3 degree burns on her face and down into her throat. We wasn't sure she was gonna make it..."
I got the news yesterday that she finally got to come home from the hospital. I even got to talk to her on the phone. Her voice is a whisper but the doctors are all sure she will eventually regain her voice. YEAH!!!!!!!! I was SOOOO worried about her and her family. She has 3 children. I have known her my whole life. Her Mom was friends with my Mom and Grandma. We were even pregnant at the same time. Her daughter was born on my sons due date. I'm so glad she is doing better.
Ok, on the diet/menu front. I think I'm ready to move forward. I don't know what those burst of emotions were all about but I'm doing better now. A friend at work suggested that it may have been more about me trying to cut back on my AS. She said it could have affected my emotions. She sent me this article on it.
I was surprised to read #5.
Here it is:

The chemical aspartame is so addictive. It is wise to stop taking artificial sweetener slowly or ask your doctor for help. Abruptly stop taking aspartame may cause withdrawal symptoms.

This Swine (H1N1) flu is really scary. They are telling us all to prepare for the worse and hope for the best. I went saturday to get my pantry stocked up (just in case) I went with my sister, who is, if I haven't told you all, she IS the 'Coupon Queen'. She clips coupons trades them online, follows all the ads, follows all the double and triple coupon days. Have I said yet that she IS the Coupon Queen? It's hard to pass up even pasta when you are getting it for 10 to 50 cents a box. I don't mean little boxes of mac and cheese here. The big boxes of Rigatoni and Penne Rigate. Cereal for 50 cents a box. Spaghetti sauce 30 cents a jar. We got Splenda for 25 cents a box. We ended up getting 130 dollars worth of food for 50 bucks and this wasn't even one of her good days. I've seen times when we paid 20 dollars for 200 dollars worth of food.
Anyway, I feel better that my pantry is full, just in case. I did try my best to get as much lower carb stuff as possible and I passed up some really good bargains just because I knew I couldn't have it in the house. I did pick up some pasta and cereal for the boys. But now I have a bunch of carbs in the house again. Please don't think I'm being ungrateful here. I'm soooooo glad she could help me out this way. It's just a double edge sword. I'm planning on keeping it as out of site and hard to get to as possible. Fix dinner on Sundays for the boys and pack it up and send it home with them. Replace those items with more Carb friendly things. I've told my sis to always be on the look out for good LC deals.
I gave the boys the lecture on keeping hands sanitized. Staying away from anyone who appears sick. I gave them pocket hand sanitizers and refills. Told them to not touch there eyes, nose or mouth areas. Stay away from the 'T' zone. Always keep their gas tank as full as possible and money in their pockets (in case they needed to head home). I got them some supplies in case they do become ill.
So I think we are set. I will be following closely to see what happens. I hope you all are getting prepared. This strain of the swine (H1N1) seems to be mild. But remember that all pandemics start out mild. Please prepare.

I've been going through a lot of emotions lately. Crying at the drop of a hat, shaky, nervous, totally wearing my emotions on my sleeve. Yes, stuff is going on in my life but when isn't it? I'm not sure whats going on with my hormones (yes, I'm guessing that's what it is)
Just a sample of whats been going on.......One of my child hood friends has been in the intensive care burn unit. She has 3 degree burns on her face and down into her throat. We wasn't sure she was gonna make it.........My brother and nephew are arguing over a property dispute.....My sister and other brother are bickering over some money my niece owes my brother....My cousin (we are more like sisters) just had angioplasty an hour ago and had 3 stints put in (she will be fine).......I'm not gonna list anymore, you get the idea.
As we all know, I'm a stress eater. I've just kind of said the hell with it for awhile. I tried hard today. I really did. When I was waiting to hear word on my cousin I turned to food. So again today I have had an off plan day. Which stresses me out too. Dang it, I wanted to make it LC today.
---------------------------------------------------
Today I'm grateful for....
1) My husband who is soooooo understanding through all these stresses . He is a God send. He is doing his best to keep me grounded and LC.
2) Technology -thank God we have the ability to fix a broken/clogged heart.
3) My Son- he is working so hard to get through school. I'm so proud of him. I'm glad he has turned out to be such a wonderful kid. He just got employee of the month last month. He's a part time employee for Menards. He has won the bars and stars award (top award) in 6 of the 7 classes he has taken. YEAH!!!!!!
4) The dog we are baby sitting. He has brought me quite a few smiles lately. He's laying here at my feet snoring. (BIG German Shepard) He and Roxy have become really good friends. :)
5) I'm thankful I can blog.

Well, I'm still off plan. I know most people usually stop blogging when their diet plan all goes to hell. Not me, I torture myself right through it. Remember its the good, bad and ugly here. You see it ALL.
Another thing your gonna notice is that when I'm off plan I eat out a LOT. Why, because I don't have the junk food in my house. It's my little way of making myself get back on track. I REFUSE to buy junk for the house.
I had every intention of getting back on the wagon today. It just didn't pan out that way.

Ok, sometimes I just want to be normal. I want to feel like everyone else. I don't want to worry about every little morsel I stick in my mouth. I don't want to worry about how many carbs it has or how many calories it has. I don't want to think about what it could be doing to my body if I eat it. It's FOOD for Christ sakes. Food, that's all it is. Normal people doesn't worry about whats in it. They don't analyze whether they can have this with that or that with this. They don't have to figure the number of carbs/calories in it then decide if they can have it or not. If they want it they eat it. They don't worry about what's in it. I don't want to think about all the chemicals it might have from the artificial sweeteners. I don't want to worry if my sugar readings will be sky high if I have a simple glass of milk. I don't want to worry about loosing my eyesight, a limb, my kidneys or having a heart attack. I just want it to be food again. Like it was when I was a kid. We ate, we enjoyed it, we went on. Never a thought about it afterward. I just want it to be food again.
But I'm an overweight, diabetic. It will never just be food for me again. I know that. But there are just those days when I don't want it to be so complicated. Why does it have to be that way for me? When I try to just be normal, my body will swell up in rebellion. My joints will ache so bad I can hardly walk. My sugar readings will be through the roof. I'm not just a normal person. I will never just be a normal person again. I will always have to worry about the carbs/calories in foods. So the last few days was just a little mental health break.
Since Saturday night I've been weepy, nervous and irritable. Today I almost cried several times at work. I've tried to stay clear of people and stay off by myself. But in a busy clinic, that's just not possible. This is just not like me. I've not been sleeping well. Nothing is going on, nothing is wrong. Their is nothing I can put my finger on that has triggered this. I'm hoping it's just a hormonal thing. Isn't that what most women blame it on? Actually most men too. In all honesty, TOM did come visit me today. So maybe it is hormonal. What ever it is, I hope it goes away soon.
Since Easter I have tried to cut down on artificial sweeteners(AF). I don't see where that would be making me feel this way. But that is the only thing I have done different. I've stopped using it in my coffee. The only time I have had diet soda I have listed it here on my blog. I used to have 3 packages in each cup of coffee and usually 2 cups of coffee a day. Then I would have 2 sometimes 3 diet sodas a day.
Anyway that's where I'm at right now. I'm not trying to be a Debbie downer, this is just how my life is rolling right now.

Ok, sometimes I just want to be normal. I want to feel like everyone else. I don't want to worry about every little morsel I stick in my mouth. I don't want to worry about how many carbs it has or how many calories it has. I don't want to think about what it could be doing to my body if I eat it. It's FOOD for Christ sakes. Food, that's all it is. Normal people doesn't worry about whats in it. They don't analyze whether they can have this with that or that with this. They don't have to figure the number of carbs/calories in it then decide if they can have it or not. If they want it they eat it. They don't worry about what's in it. I don't want to think about all the chemicals it might have from the artificial sweeteners. I don't want to worry if my sugar readings will be sky high if I have a simple glass of milk. I don't want to worry about loosing my eyesight, a limb, my kidneys or having a heart attack. I just want it to be food again. Like it was when I was a kid. We ate, we enjoyed it, we went on. Never a thought about it afterward. I just want it to be food again.
But I'm an overweight, diabetic. It will never just be food for me again. I know that. But there are just those days when I don't want it to be so complicated. Why does it have to be that way for me? When I try to just be normal, my body will swell up in rebellion. My joints will ache so bad I can hardly walk. My sugar readings will be through the roof. I'm not just a normal person. I will never just be a normal person again. I will always have to worry about the carbs/calories in foods. So the last few days was just a little mental health break.
Since Saturday night I've been weepy, nervous and irritable. Today I almost cried several times at work. I've tried to stay clear of people and stay off by myself. But in a busy clinic, that's just not possible. This is just not like me. I've not been sleeping well. Nothing is going on, nothing is wrong. Their is nothing I can put my finger on that has triggered this. I'm hoping it's just a hormonal thing. Isn't that what most women blame it on? Actually most men too. In all honesty, TOM did come visit me today. So maybe it is hormonal. What ever it is, I hope it goes away soon.

Just thought I would share this. I thought it was really cute and mostly true.
To Those of You Born
1930 - 1979
At the end of this is a quote of the month by Jay Leno.. If you don't read anything else, please read what he said. Very well stated, Mr. Leno.
TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE
1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had baseball caps not helmets on our heads.
As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts, no air bags, bald tires and s ometimes no brakes.
Riding in the back of a pick- up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one actually died from this..
We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and bacon. We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar. And, we weren't overweight. WHY?
Because we were always outside playing...that's why!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And, we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride them down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times,we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's and X-boxes. There were no video games, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet and no chat rooms.
WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them.
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.
Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever.
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.
If YOU are one of them? CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good.
While you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave and lucky their parents were.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it ?
~The quote of the month is by Jay Leno:
'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?'

At lunch I chose to have that patty melt. I had looked at the carb counts of rye bread and decided to go ahead and have it. I don't know if it was the bread or the dressing (maybe both) but that sandwich woke up my taste buds and put them on over drive. The sandwich was REALLY good and I salivated all afternoon after eating it. It's like my taste buds went WAY out of control. I realized that I hadn't done that all week. I haven't craved at all and my taste buds have been in check. Since I had that sandwich I can feel the cravings and my mouth is still watering. I'm holding them at bay, but it makes me think. Is that the reason I crave? Because I'm over stimulating my taste buds? I've always joked that if I could numb my taste buds I would be skinny. Maybe it wasn't such a joke after all.

I'm still not very hungry today.
Which is such a good feeling. I don't care what I eat or even if I eat. This must be what it feels like to be normal. To not have food rule your every thought and all your actions.
I'm suppose to go out to lunch with friends tomorrow and normally I would be worried. I'm not at all. I have the feeling that no matter where they go, I can handle it. I will stay on plan and it won't bother me.
Can we bottle this feeling and keep it for tough times?
Or even to sell it? I could be rich!

I'm not hungry at all today. I could of even skipped dinner. But I'm always leery of the old 'starvation mode'. So I always feel like I need to track calories to make sure I'm not. But you know what always happens, I'm no where close to starvation mode. So I'm not going to worry about it. I'm going to eat my 3 meals and a snack (even if I'm not hungry). Go from there. I'm sure it takes more than a few days to go into starvation mode. It's just those old fears popping up.
Thought I would share this poem I found. It hits home here.
And you've really tried with your heart and your soul,but somehow things got out of control
---START OVER.
When you've tried your best to do what you should
And you thought this time that you surely would,But once again, you didn't do good
---START OVER.
When you've worked so hard to follow a dieters way
And you fought to win a victory each day.But one more time you went astray
---START OVER.
When you've tried so hard to yourself to be true
And do the things that you know you should do,But once again you failed to come through
---START OVER.
When the road to success seemed much too long And each temptation was oh so strong
And once again you gave in to wrong
---START OVER.
When you've told your friends what you planned to do
And trusted them to help you through But soon discovered it's up to you
---START OVER.
When you know you must be physically fit,But your hope seems gone and you're stuck in a pit That's not the time for you to quit
---START OVER.
When the week seems long and successes few
And at weigh-in time you're feeling blue,Remember tomorrow is just for you
---START OVER.
To start again means a victory's been won
And starting over again means a race well run
And starting over again proves it can be done. So don't just sit there
---START OVER~~

Through out the day, I'm always thinking of wonderful things to say on my blog. Once I get home eat dinner and relax. I can't come up with anything to say. :(
I'm kind of getting keyboard shy (for lack of a better way to describe it) I kind of feel like a failure when it comes to trying new things. Seems like I haven't been able to stick with anything. I just keep trying different things on for size, to see if I can REALLY do it or give it up. When I am able to find something that I can live with for the rest of my life (like adding in CO, keeping a food journal, blogging) than its a big deal to me. But I don't like to post all the new things I try for fear of failure. If I don't post it and no one knows, than I'm not a failure in your eyes.
Posting the sleep/mood scale really helped me to see that when I'm loosing sleep, my moods drop than I'm more susceptible to going off this WOE or having a cheat. I'm really glad I did that and shared that with everyone. Maybe someone else will see that in themselves and it will help them as well.
Here is other stuff that I've learned along the way. Hope it helps someone out there. :)

UPDATE on my Aunt
My sister left Thursday to go down to pick her up, she was to stay the night with Auntie and leave out Friday morning. Well, when Friday morning came my Auntie was sick with what we think was the stomach flu. So they were going to wait til Saturday to leave hoping it was just a 24 hour bug. Saturday morning came and Auntie was no better. My sister headed back last night without here (She had to get home for her Easter Dinner) So Auntie did not get to come in after all. It's ok, I wouldn't want her to get worse or feel bad the whole time she was here. Auntie felt awful about having my sister make the trip. But we all understand. These things happen. I was very disappointed but I'll get over it. Maybe I can talk to the boss and go down next weekend to her house if she is better.
I haven't been on plan lately. I don't know why exactly. All I can do is keep trying.
Hope everyone had a great Easter.

I just wanted to share this little story. I LOVE IT!!!
The Jar
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in
front of him.
When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty
mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the
jar He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full.
The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two cans of soda from under the table and poured
the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space
between the sand.
The students laughed...
'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to
recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children,
your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything
else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house
and your car.
The sand is everything else---the small stuff.
'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no
room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never
have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Spend time with your children.
Spend time with your parents.
Visit with grandparents.
Take your partner out to dinner.
Play another 18.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter.
Set your priorities.
The rest is just sand.
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the soda
represented.
The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.'
The soda just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of drinks with a friend.
LIFE ISN'T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS...
.....IT'S LEARNING HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN!

They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the
jar He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full.
The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two cans of soda from under the table and poured
the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space
between the sand.
The students laughed...
'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to
recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children,
your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything
else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house
and your car.
The sand is everything else---the small stuff.
'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no
room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never
have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Spend time with your children.
Spend time with your parents.
Visit with grandparents.
Take your partner out to dinner.
Play another 18.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter.
Set your priorities.
The rest is just sand.
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the soda
represented.
The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.'
The soda just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of drinks with a friend.
LIFE ISN'T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS...
.....IT'S LEARNING HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN!

I just got news today that my Aunt from Arkansas will be coming in for a week to visit. She will be in on Friday night. I will be driving her home the following Friday. I'm so excited. She is my only living elder. ( Grandparents, parents and all other Aunts and Uncles have passed.) I can't wait to see her. So for the next week or so, I probably won't be around as much. I will be posting menus as I can, if I don't post a days menu I will be writing them down to post later. Just wanted to let you all know in case I go MIA for a few days. I haven't thrown in the towel. Just visiting with my Dear Auntie.
Internet High-Five to Harry. I listen to Harry's podcast last night. I couldn't sleep so I decided to listen to the show. WONDERFUL interview!!!!!! If you haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, you can listen to it here. Harry you done a great job, I was very impressed.

I feel like a big fat groggy whale today. I'm swelled, I feel groggy and I'm stiff from staying in bed so long. Went to bed at midnight last night and didn't climb out of be til 12 pm today. Yes, ME, I did that. Other than getting up to use the bathroom I pretty much slept that whole time. I had several strange dreams. It was raining when I got up and still is. I could go back to bed now and sleep more, I love when it rains on a Sunday. I guess all the days of little or no sleep has FINALLY caught up with me. I feel like I took benadryl or some other sleeping aide. Nope, nothing other than the melatonin, which I've been taking for about a month now. So I don't think that is causing this feeling. Probably just the lack of sleep as of late.

They had 3 blow up jumping thingies. We got started at 9:30 and did not quit until 3pm. We sat down for about 1/2 hour to eat, that was it. Had a great time.Got together with friends last night for a wiener roast. I made some LC /SF treats. Everyone loved them.

Okay so I had to make another batch of the LC Brownies tonight. YES, ALL 12 of them are gone. I really like that they are so easy. One bowl, few measuring cups & spoons, waa laa. The first day I made them everyone had to try one. MIL, FIL, Son, Son's BF, Hubby and me of course. Then Hubby keeps taking them to work for other people to try. I think he's proud. LOL There is this guy at work who wants to do Low Carb. He has noticed Hubbies weight loss (about 40 pounds) and has tried a lot of what Hubby takes to work for his lunches. I'm kind of anxious to see what he thinks of the brownies.

Everyday I have questions about what to take for my lunch. I'm not hungry in the morning time when I usually pack my lunch up. Even when I get it ready the night before, it just doesn't sound good when I'm packing it. I haven't found anything that I'm satisfied with. Truth is I'm not really that hungry at lunch time either, but I know I should eat something. I've tried the Atkins shakes, but they don't seem to stick with me. Of course they are only 160 calories, so maybe they aren't made to have as a meal replacement.

Ok, It's time to snap out of this. I know in my head that medicating myself with food is not going to change anything. The car accident REALLY shook me up. The 2 boys I love most in the world were both in that car. I have spent the last few days living in 'What if' land. I have to stop it now. TODAY!!!!! The reality is everyone is ok. I have to put my head back in 'What is' world. The here and now world.
You see, I've spent too much of my life in 'What if' land. Running scenarios through my head. What would of happened if this......? What would of happened if that......? It can tear you down, it can rip you apart. It sends you into a depression you don't even know your in.
Their was a difference this time. I realized I was in 'What if' land. My eyes were more open. I knew I wouldn't be there long this time. I knew I was going to be able to pick myself up and dust myself off and move back into 'What is' world. Maybe something is changing for me. Maybe something is changing in me. Even though I still went back to medicating myself with food. I was able to recognize it and move out of it. In the past, it would have taken a lot longer to even recognize the place I was in.
Now, I know you all are ready to send the guys with the little white coats. This is just my way of working through it and trying to explain it in a way that makes sense.
They're coming to take me away,
Haha, they're coming to take me away,

Ok, I'm back up and running.
So I must update you all on what has been happening in my life.
Food has not been good. Too much stress and too many excuses................
My son and his best friend were in a car accident. His best friend was driving them home from Indy when a car came at them a lil too far on his side of the road. He got over a lil too far and his tire went off the road. He over compensated and lost control eventually crashing into a tree.
Had he of went the other direction on the road they would of went over an embankment with a 20 - 30 ft drop and into the creek. Both boys were shook up but ok.
THIS WHAT THE CAR USED TO LOOK LIKE!!!!
Once I saw the car and the embankment on the other side of the road where they COULD have been (Thank you GOD!), I cried. I still get teary eyed when I think about it.
Now, if you guys all remember my Son's car 'Ol' Blue' bit the dust last weekend. We have been scrambling trying to get him another car and getting it ready for him. He has been using his best friends car all this week. The one pictured above. So here we go again, round two of car shopping and car swapping.
I will update my menus later.

35 minutes at lunch. Jogged 450 steps. I started my walk a lil later than usual. So the jogging was partly due to my stubbornness, not willing to take a smaller route and my fear of being tarty. So, do you think the cosmic pull of the universe is pulling for me to start jogging? LOL The good news is I can still walk this morning after my wee lil jogging yesterday.
I have added those calories up 3 times. I can't believe they are so low. I should be starving right? I'm not.
Ok, my lil planning idea has went out the window this week. I have been so busy I'm lucky to plan the meal I'm getting ready to eat let alone tomorrows too. I NEED to get back to that. I will try harder today. :) no promises.

35 minutes at lunch. Jogged 450 steps. I started my walk a lil later than usual. So the jogging was partly due to my stubbornness, not willing to take a smaller route and my fear of being tarty. So, do you think the cosmic pull of the universe is pulling for me to start jogging? LOL The good news is I can still walk this morning after my wee lil jogging yesterday.I have added those calories up 3 times. I can't believe they are so low. I should be starving right? I'm not.
Ok, my lil planning idea has went out the window this week. I have been so busy I'm lucky to plan the meal I'm getting ready to eat let alone tomorrows too. I NEED to get back to that. I will try harder today. :) no promises.
update on 03-25-09 More late night eating. raised calories and carbs way above where I wanted them. Geez.

Walked for 45 minutes. I even jogged for 350 steps (yes, I counted). Partly because I want to get my metabolism revved, partly because I chose a route that took me longer than I thought it would and I was worried I would be late for work. LOL Now, with my knees and the weight I'm still at, I'm not sure if its such a good idea to start jogging... ???? We will see if I can still walk tomorrow..LOL
How many of you tell people you are a blogger?
Nobody around me knows except my Hubby, Son and his best friend. I'm not ashamed of my blog, just not sure I want to share my weight issues with others that I'm close to. When you think about it that way, it really doesn't make sense. Everyone knows I'm fat and that I'm trying to deal with it. But I have noticed that I've been having visitors from towns that I recognize.
Ok, who's spying on me....LOL
Updated on 3-24-09: I got into the snacking mood last night. Had I of been smarter I would have realized that it was because I was tired. I got up at 4:30 am. So of course had I of just went on to bed. I could have avoided those last snacks.

Not hungry today at all. Cramping and hurting all day. So not much of an appetite.
My son's old car died yesterday. We called her Ol' Blue. She was a beloved family friend. She has been in our family for 10 + years. We were hoping she would make it through to the end of November when he will be out of school. A pot hole took her out. She had almost 350,000 miles on her. Yes, that's right she has turned her odometer over 3 times and then some. Now I know many of you are out there thinking 'Good Lord, why would you let your son drive a car with so many miles?' Well I'll tell ya. This car belonged to me for many years. I ALWAYS kept up the maintenance. EVERY TIME something went out/wrong with her, we replaced it with life time warranty parts. We have always took her in for yearly inspections. Since my Hubby is a good mechanic we trusted her. This last winter took its toll on her. Driving on the highways back and forth to Indianapolis with all the salt on the roads did her in. We noticed she was REALLY getting rusty. My son was really hoping to turn her over to 400,00 miles. (He wanted bragging rights - it's a guy thing:) But her body gave away.
This is the car my son learned to drive in. It's the car he told me his deepest secrets in. Many bonding conversations happened in this car. You know it's always easier to tell Mamma stuff when she is not looking at you and has her eyes focused on the road. Many memories she gave us. We went and got her yesterday. We brought her home to rest. She will be put down sometime this week or next when my son gets around to taking out his new radio and taking off the new tires and battery we just bought etc. She was a good Ol car. She will be missed.

I've had a very stressful couple of days at work. Yesterday we were CRAZY busy and today we were super slow. I'm not sure which one was worse. I found out today that we had a client pass away. I feel so bad for the family. He was 2 years old, the cutest lil thing you ever saw. From what we have heard he had a cold/flu and his fever went high in the night bringing on febrile seizures and got tangled in his blankets. So because we were slow it gave us all time to think and remember him. What a tragity.

Walked 40 minutes at lunch, around the pond and back.Tuesday nights are my roughest of all nights. I work late and Hubby has to go to work early. So as I'm coming in the door, he is going out of it. A kiss, a hug and a 'love ya honey' and there ya go. So, last night I got into a cooking mood. I cooked the other half of that round steak and totally made tonight's dinner and put it in the fridge. Then I decided to make today's lunch as well. So I had it all ready to go. So, not only did I figure out the total # of calories and carbs I would have for today, I also was very organized. I like that feeling. Maybe I'm on to something here. Hmmmm

The last couple of Saturdays have been spent working at our other job (we have 2 rental properties). I'm sure the next few are gonna be spent the same way. O'well at least it's more exercise. The first rainy Saturday will be spent doing up wedding flowers for my nieces wedding in May. Sure hope we get a rainy Saturday before then, or she will be married without flowers..LOL At least that's what I keep kidding her about. I'm doing her flowers for her reception etc.

Feeling whinny. So if you don't want to hear me whine. Stop reading now...
I just kind of said the heck with it tonight. Of Course this is no where NEAR where my carbs use to be, but also no where NEAR where they should be. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do from here. I'm sure I won't quit, but I'm really tired of trying.
I know some of you will look at this and say 'trying, she hasn't been trying at all' believe me when I tell you I've been trying. I know if I didn't try half as much as I do, I would be 500 pounds. I'm just discouraged. Why does it have to be so hard? Why doesn't the results = the amount of effort? Are my eyes not open? Am I not seeing things I should be seeing? I know I'm opening myself up to get slammed here with stuff I may not be ready to hear.
I know eating off plan tonight just set me back even further. I know I need to change something. I'm just not sure what I'm willing to change or give up to get me there. AND Gee Wiz how much MORE am I gonna have to give up or change just to get the end result. I still have 100 pounds to lose. How Low am I gonna have to go to get there (on calories and carbs)? I'm eating half the amount I use to eat, Why am I not half the size I use to be???????
Ok, I vented. I'm not sure if its out of my system or not, but I'm done. Sorry if you read this far. I wasn't going to post this, but again I'm trying to make the a time capsule for myself. Someday I may be reading this and figure SOMETHING out....
P.S. Forgot to add that tomorrow night is my 1st Relay for Life, so I will be posting tomorrows menus on Saturday. Just so you know I didn't fall completely off the cliff. :) I will probably just feel like I did after all the walking.... :)

Running on very little sleep. I haven't slept well since Friday night. Ugh!!!!!!
I've been taking melatonin. I don't know why I go thru these times. Nothing on my mind, no reason for it. Usually when I lose sleep my mood plummets, I'm still ok there. I'm going to bed early tonight. Wish me luck.

Walked 40 mins at lunch timeStill fighting some hunger today. But it wasn't as bad.
I know I want to lose this weight. But am I sabotaging myself? I think so. A few years ago when I lost the 1st part of my weight (the first 70 to 80 pounds of it) I made it down to 230. At that point I felt like something (not really something, ME!) was stopping me from going down any further. As I reach the 230's I'm feeling this way again. For some reason I feel scared to go further down. I know this sounds crazy. BELIEVE me I KNOW it sounds crazy. Of course I want this weight off. Why would I be working so hard to get it off if I didn't REALLY want it off. But something in my wee little brain is holding me back. But what????
That's what I have been pondering for awhile now. I've always known I had a hang up, but not quite sure what. I kind of feel like my being over weight is my punishment some how. Being over weight for me is NOT about the food. Yes, I'm addicted. Yes, I use it as my drug. But I also use it to feel safe. Safe from what? I don't quite know. In my warped little brain I guess I feel like as long as I'm overweight THAT is my punishment and if I lose the weight, I may be punished in other ways. What ways, why and by who you ask? Yea, I'm asking those same questions. Here is a few things I've come up with.
Ok so here is the WHY (or at least the why I've came up with in my head)
*I've told you all before (or I think I have ) that I lost my dad when I was 14 years old. Mom had to raise me and my brother by herself. My older siblings were already off on there own. But it made us a VERY close family.
*My oldest sibling lost her husband at the age of 35 to a heart attack, leaving her to raise a 12 and 10 year old all alone.
*My older brother lost 3 children in 2 separate accidents involving drunk drivers. (yes, 2 accidents, 1 child in one accident and then 10 years later lost 2 more in another drunk driving accident -my brother WAS NOT the drunk driver)
*My other sisters husband fell ill and has been disabled for many many years leaving the brunt of the family financial burden on her.......
Yea, our family has been through A LOT!!!! (This isn't even all of it, maybe some other time in another post) Some of those times were REALLY hard.
As you all know I'm happily married to my high school sweet heart. We have been together 23 years now. (yea I'm an old lady, I'm 40) We have a wonderful son who is 19 and is in college making us VERY PROUD. Even though all those hard times affected me. We (Hubby and I) have not experienced those hardships in our relationship (or family unit) . So I was the lucky one, so to speak. Ok, that sounds crazy, I lost my father, nephew, nieces and watch my siblings struggle for years. So I guess I wouldn't say lucky here, but you know what I mean. Our (my) family unit didn't go through that. So I felt like being overweight is my punishment for being happy.
Now, how I came to that conclusion is beyond me, my whole family is over weight. So why is the weight issues my punishment to bare???? Gee, who knows. This sounds crazier and crazier the more I type......
I know that this is a crazy concept. But, its one I can't seem to get a handle on. Of course my life hasn't always been a bed of roses, we have had our hard ships and struggles along the way too. I don't know why I feel I have to be punished. I'm still working on that.
After writing this, I feel like just erasing it. And still might even erase it after its posted. So if you come here and this is where the story starts, sorry but I couldn't leave it posted. I was just doing a lil working on 'Me' here.

Still dealing with HUNGER today. Gee Wiz!!!
We went out with friends tonight and then went to their house afterward to play cards. We had a great time. I was very aware of my hunger all night, even after eating a big dinner. So when the snacks started coming out, I was there to partake.
I didn't even want to fill in my dinner and snack for tonight. I told myself that that is exactly the reason I don't have an accurate Food Diary now, because when I'm bad I don't write those bad days in. So when I started this blog and time capsule I said it would be the good, bad and ugly. So here it is.................all the good, bad and ugly.

no walk, ok, time to scold myself on this matter......BAD ME!!!!! BAD!!!! BAD!!!!!
I woke this morning thinking about yesterday and how very on the edge I am at any given moment. I often say that their is a 500 pound person living inside me and I have to REALLY fight to keep her at bay. Some days she is just kicking and screaming to get out. Yesterday was one of those days. I'm not sure why she was so loud yesterday, might of had to do with my food choices on Saturday( It was Hubby's Birthday celebration and I chose to join in.) or it just could have been hormones.
Whatever the reason, it makes me think about just how close I am at any moment to plunging head first into my addiction. Yes, I consider food my addiction. I'm no different than an alcoholic or a drug addict. I could lose control at any time, for any reason. Yesterday I just wanted that AWWWHHHH moment you get when you take your first bite of a delicious food (carbs). It's like a sweet release and a tiny tingle moves thru out your body. You can feel your whole body relax after that bite. I imagine it would be the same with an alcoholic when he/she gets her first taste of alcohol.
I know some of you are gonna think I've done and gone off the deep end. I don't think everyone who is overweight nessaceraly is addicted to food. I know my husband does not suffer from these issues. He is just an overeater. He really only eats when he is hungry. He doesn't eat because it's in front of him, it looks good or because he is craving.( I sometimes wonder how much of his being overweight is my fault. He was not overweight when we meant. ) So, I know some of you who are reading this will not understand where I'm coming from. That's ok, I hope you never find out.

WT=241 ---> Ok, I've been doing this long enough now to know that one bad day can not ruin, in my case, weeks of hard work. It's just water gain from the extra carbs. So I'm going to delay smashing the scales for this morning and give it a few days to redeem itself.
No walk today either. It's cold out with an 8 degrees wind chill. I actually went out to take the walk and came right back in. I'm a wimp! Snow is falling but none really sticking. Winter is hanging on with a powerful grip. While it was a beautiful scene, I'm more than ready for spring to arrive. I should just jump on the treadmill, but me and Ol' Weslo (the treadmill) doesn't get along too well. I hate him actually. He tries to buck me off every time I get on him. That's his lil way of telling me I'm too fat and that I hurt his back. I've threaten to throw him out in the garage many times, but something keeps me hanging on to him. Believe me it sure isn't his looks. He doesn't go with any of my decor. :)

I'm not panicking over being up a pound. I know from watching the scale everyday that my body goes through this. So no biggie. (now if it goes up again tomorrow, I will have to smash those darn things..LOL)
none, took a nap instead :(My son is home for the weekend. We have to go get our taxes filed today. I'm crossing my fingers that we don't have to pay in this year. I quit doing our own taxes many years ago when we had to stop itemizing. Hubby and I are hoping to at least get enough back this year to get a hand held GPS unit. We like to go Geocaching. It's like a game of hide and seek. Gets us out moving and we have fun. Wish us luck, I will update later to let you know how it went.
Update: Seeing our tax lady went well. Whew, that was close. We did alright and by alright I mean we don't have to pay anything in, well my son owes $11.00 to the state. So I think we can afford that.
We got a surprise when we came home, my son's best friend was in town and wanted us to go out to eat with him. So we did. I didn't do so hot with staying on plan today but that's ok, I'm not going to sweat that either. Right back to how we were doing things tomorrow.....

I've been adding in some tomato juice to my flax seed regiment lately. Dietary intake of tomatoes and tomato products containing lycopene has been shown to be associated with a decreased risk of chronic diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. Just in case you were wondering. :)
