Holy guacamole, I don't even know where to begin. Although the last few days have been less than pleasant I was in no way avoiding ya'll, quite contraire you have been on my mind almost constantly. I will start from the beginning...
I went to the biggest loser party Friday night, accompanied by my close friend for moral support. Everyone there was very nice. We met at a very fancy bar and I never felt more out of place in my life. They congratulated me, asked me if I had any secrets, which we all know I don't lol. However, the one person I knew there was sooo incredibly cold and rude to me I can only think of one word to describe her and it starts with a C. They insisted I sit down at the bar with them in a seat open next too big C, and she literally completely turned in her seat until her back was facing me. Ouch. Needless to say I took the money and ran. I don't let anyone treat me that way, especially not her. Had dinner with my friend at a Mexican place, not my finest choice, and despite the advice given here I did buy a new Christmas tree. I know you wanted me to do something for me, but this really was.
I went on to binge on pumpkin rolls and fast food all weekend long. The stress of the party combined with financial strain and the impending holidays had gotten me in quite a rut. I could have done a lot worse for myself I'm not going to lie, I didn't eat anything and everything but I definitely went a little crazy. Thhheeennnnn I went to the gym yesterday....
OH MY GOD... I felt like hell, literally. At one point on the elliptical I felt like I was going to vomit, my friend passed me in strides... it was insane. And I know it was because of the weekend of stuffing my face with all that junk and sugar. Two fast food meals, and loads of sugar did quite the number on my poor body. I'll let that be a lesson for me, I couldn't believe the difference. I'm not concerned about thanksgiving, but the fast food and the sugar... I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. I don't know how to describe how I felt when I was at the gym yesterday other than disgusting. I felt so nasty. It was certainly and eye opener.
I have been better yesterday and today, watching my intake and making the best choices I can with what I have. Today I will be logging my food again, and I hope to have a good plan in place before tomorrow as I will be working a 12. I am not weighing in again until next Friday, Dec 6th. That will give me ample time to recover from this past weekend, and the thanksgiving to come lol.
Don't take your body for granted people, it will give you what you put in... literally. Still in shock over that. I hope everyone is well :-)

Hello Sweets... Glad you're back. Glad you got through the toughest part of the celebration with the "C". Hopefully you'll not have to be in her presence again and if so, you're a bigger person then to turn your back.
Drink water. Drink drink drink drink. Do a Royal Flusharoonie. Drink.

Oh sweetie...no one should allow themselves to be treated like that! I am proud that you took the high road and walked away. Now you can move forward with your hubby and kids and screw the rest of them! If the Christmas tree is what makes you happy...then you made the right choice. I would be tempted to do the same. I wonder what condition my artificial tree is this year? It is not being stored in the driest conditions. I had to replace my tree a few years ago after having the same tree. since our first year of being married. Cried some tears over that. Dumb I know...but it was something Dave and I picked out together and had so many Christmas' with it. I have tried real trees...love the smell...hate having to water it and the mess after you are done with it. Fire hazard of a real tree gets to me too. Yesterday I ate too many Christmas spice drops. Then for a while last night I felt faint. No other reason for it then my body reacting to that much sugar again. Not worth it. I can't wait for Thanksgiving. I mainly eat just the turkey anyway...so it is a good holiday for me. Lots of protein and white meat turkey is low in fat...so it is all good. Deserts is my hubby's downfall. Once he starts he can't stop. This weekend he discovered Spumoni ice cream. One box almost gone and he bought another last night. Now he expects pumpkin pie for Thursday. I hate that so that won't be a problem for me. Now I have to get to work! Have a great day!

Yolanda, no matter what you are a winner and it really is a good thing that you have learned so much about your body and really can see all the change that your new lifestyle changes have made and for the best. As for the "C" visualize my giving her the middle finger salute in support of my new friend. Have a great day!

Wondered where the heck ya were! Not going to say I missed ya or anything...... :) ~~~ Yeah, I had a similar epiphany this weekend about not taking your body for granted. Saturday's calorie intake- 5926 (no, that's not a typo). Sunday was pretty bad too. Since Sunday night I still feel bloated, guilty, ashamed, uncomfortable- and yesterday's workout was less than stellar. Still trying to figure out, was that chick you were referring to being Chummy? :) ~~ This is a new week, and a new start, right? Very proud to know a big loser like you! :)

Just adding my change: Isn't it interesting how our bodies get used to fast food, lots of added sugar and other additives? And then, when we remove that stuff from our diets, our bodies go into shock when we reintroduce them?

Hey Yo. I am so proud of you on all your successes. Including walking out of that place with the cash and showing your cute backside to the hag. You Rock! As for the food. I can't speak for the workouts but I love to watch the exercise shows. One night Chris Powell committed to eat like one of his transformers for 1 day. It was mainly fast food and lots of it. The guy started sweating like crazy as he was eating and ended up having to stop cause he felt so bad. I found that very I tweeting and while I thought he might have been a bit dramatic to prove his point - I agree with the point. I have found that what I put in my mouth really does effect the way I feel. I can sure see how it would make your workout very different. As for the rest of it all - the big deal - the teason for your binge. I think I can only say that stress kills. In many different ways it will kill you, your joy, you dreams, everything including killing you. There are so many stressors in life. You and only you can figure out how to deal with it. I try to remind myself that there is nothing I can do about the financial things. I can't get a second job and travel for the main one like I do. Money just seems to fly out of my household. Stressing over it has not helped. Losing sleep over it has not helped. Gaining weight over did not help. So I have decided WTF. No need to think on it any more. Same with people - they don't pay my bills so they don't matter. I am not selfish but really - if you can't make my life better in some way then I do t need you in it and if you can't treat me the right way then get the hell out of my life. I refuse to be in the same room with some folks. I think the more you focus on stress and stressors. The better you can understand how to get rid of it. What you can't get rid of - you can deal with. Remember you matter to lots of folks and all that stuff that is causing you problems is just stuff. Sweep it away and focus on being the best you that you can be.

You guys are literally the best friends a girl could ask for, especially on some crazy weight loss site where everyone is a potential creep-o predator. I don't take you for granted, I appreciate you more than you know!! Thank you a ga-zillion times over. Sweets used to be my thing, K, until this past weekend lol. I think I will be sticking to healthy high fiber carbs on thanksgiving, and perhaps one dessert. I'm more of a stuffing and turkey girl myself, I'll skip the rolls. (including the ones with pumpkin haha)Glad I wasn't alone in my disgusting weekend, Wayne, and I'm not going to say I missed you either ;-). A new week and a new start for us both! I did see that episode of extreme weight loss Alex, and I too thought he was a bit over dramatic, but point made. I'll contest to the fact that it made me feel like crap. I guess all those fit people were right about that lol. I'm doing the very best I can to manage stress. My brother was a big stressor over the weekend as well, then Sunday night I told him I was done with the BS. I feel a lot better in that respect. I deserve my own life, as you guys have told me all along. Everything else.. one day at a time. I'll be heading off to work soon, drinking tons of water :-) and carrying with me all of the positive and supportive words you guys have given me. God bless <3
