Think positive, Paula. I'm counting on it being good news. Glad you're feeling back to normal.

Way to go. Yes the mental part is certainly harder for me. There should be something said in the book about that part of Atkins...During premaintainance you will also have to work changing your brain and those food/memory connections that cause you to seek comfort in food as well as your body.

You must have the same lab people we do, the no rush, no worries, work schedule it seems. I hope you learn something tomorrow at the latest. Lots of love!

Icy - you crack me up...just because I know you're dead serious! But if they put that in the book... most people would run for the hills and never return :) Guess they figure by the time you get to pre-maintainence you will be so excited about the weightloss that a little hard internal emotional work won't kill ya! Little do they know... :)

Excellent workout at Curves this morning! Good thing cause I needed it! It's rainy here today... a little blah for my tastes. But I have a bunch of chores pushed off from earlier in the week.. so I am off to go clean, do laundry, maybe even some baking for my son's school... but not sure if that is wise yet... so maybe not! LOL!!! Holding steady in my emotions, in my weight, and in my head... all good things! Much Love.

Don't you just hate sitting and waiting? Everybody telling you to be patient and you just want to jump out of your skin!

If results come TOO fast, I always wonder if they did it right! Thinking only good thoughts for you...

I am sitting here thinking of you and read your journal from yesterday - I wanted to ask you if you had thought about getting the sugar free ice cream? I know it is bad but.... I ask because I sometime find myself needing something... I am sure it is comfort but it always seems to be something sweet that I need. I have beein trying hard to make sure that my choices are reasonable and Atkins friendly even when they are bad ones. I know you don't do well with sugar alchohols but I was wondering if it is really a better choice to eat half a pint of no sugar added ice cream or half a pint of regular ice cream. I wonder if I am kidding myself about making better choices when i do this. I believe someone on the primal blueprint would say I am. Just wondering what you think.
And i too am sending good thoughts your way :)

Paula, praying, praying, praying...as is hubby. Hope that you hear something soon...waiting is such a hard thing to do. Glad to see you are getting back to yourself...I am right there with ya! Trying to "normalize" things again. It sure isn't easy, but at some point we just have to put our heads down and bull through the doodie! lol Messy job, but no one can do it for us. Have an awesome day, and lots of love and hugs!

Oh and Paula, the other day when I was really wanting something that was "sweet" I took a serving of pork rinds, melted a tbsp of butter, poured that over the top of the rinds, sprinkled one packet of Splenda on top and a bit of cinnamon...did the trick, and only 1.5 grams of carbs. Stopped that nagging, hateful little voice that was demanding sweet stuff.

Hi Paula, I am so sorry I haven't stopped by to see you since mid September. (Working on this darn WW without success of tipping the scale downward yet). You are such a wonderful person and have always been there to cheer me on. Thank you! I am praying for you that you receive positive results from the surgeon soon. Months ago, I was away from home, and starving. Everyone wanted to go to Coldstone Ice Cream Parlor, I ate ice cream, it didn't even taste like it used to taste (which I thought was yummy) and ohhhhh did it immediately make me sick. I didn't finish it, then...the next day I had a headache, the shakes and the blahs... Lesson learned... I just went back to Induction and started over again. I hope you have a plentiful day! Love Ya (((((Paula)))))
