Congrats on the smaller skirt !

Posted by: carbchick

hey Jill, skirts are more reliable indicators of progress than stoopid scales. Imagine if the scales went down 8lb and you stayed in the same size skirt ... THAT would suck

Posted by: Jenny

Hey Jilly, looking good in here!

Congrats on the smaller skirt

Posted by: atherjen

WOOOOOOOOOHoooooooooooooo Jillybean!

Congrads on teenier skirts!! your making excellent progress!! diets looking great girly! do me a favor and just dont step on the scale.. its evil anyways.. let those skirts be your judge!

did you send all the heavy rain our way?

Enjoy the sun!

Posted by: Jill

Thanks for the nice comments peeps!

It was only 1 store though. Im really noticing my 'waist' shrinking, now only if my 'lower' tummy would do the same.

I officially have no boobs now either-thank god for good bras!

I still have a lot more to work on when it comes to my bod. Just gotta keep working on it.

Posted by: Sapphire

Congrats on smaller skirts!! WHO CARES ABOUT THE SCALE???? You want muscles, they weigh more than blubber!!!

Dont worry about how much you weigh!!!

We all just have to keep working on our bods, am I right???

Have a great weekend Babe!!

Hi Jillygirl

I am addicted to sf pops too, maybe we can start a 12 step group? I try to keep it to two a day but when it's hot.....

Congrats on the smaller skirt. STOP GETTING ON THE SCALE!! If you don't ever get on it, it can never make you feel bad!

BTW I found a recipe book that you would absolutely love. It's made by a fitness chick and is super healthy and has all these great good food recipes for chicken, egg whites, sweet potatoes etc. all without sugar and flour and all the "bad" stuff.

Posted by: Jill

JODI AND JODIE!!!! HELP ME! Or anyone else.

K, my weight has been the same within 2 pounds for 2 weeks now. Im getting frusterated. TELL me what to do, and Ill do it. Should I:
1. Refeed / carb up
2. Cheat day (anything goes, within reason!)
3. Up my daily calories
4. Up my daily carbs
5. Cut my cardio
I dont care about the mental thing. I need to kick my body in into fat burning again. Thanks anyone

Hey hiker!!! Thanks for visiting. 2 sf popsicles? I wish I only ate that many.

I will try and find the cook book, it sounds great! Let me know what the book is called.

Posted by: greekblondechic

I am addicted to sugar free popsicles too!!!

Congrats on the smaller skirt size!

Sorry I can't answer your question..but remember NOT to worry about it and whatever you do, do NOT get discouraged. Sometimes the body stalls and then on its own starts making progress again, all that worrying will make you do things you'll regret later! So please.. DONT WORRY ABOUT IT (trust me.. I was eating well, scale not changing and it led me to binge when actually I was starting to get leaner)

BTW, your lower tummy WILL shrink too, it's just going to take longer because it's one of the last things to go..don't worry! I am sure you look awesome!

Personally I would go for a refeed day or a cheat meal (not a cheat day). Your leptin levels are low and you NEED to overfeed to bring them back up. Have you read my article on Refeeds and Leptin?

I wouldn't cut your cardio now, its too late for that IMO. You would have been better off starting out with a few days and then increase but now your body is relying on that amount of cardio.

Posted by: Jill

Refeed or cheat? Which one do you think is better? I just read your article. I want to do one or the other today. So far I have ate my protein pancake, 1/2C blueberries, and turkey chili

, and some veggies. Bagles, bread, lf cereal ok for a refeed right? I really want a cinnamon bun too.

Posted by: lakergirl

HI JILL!!

everything sounds like its going well! I agree with everyone on the scale thing! Since April, Ive gained 7 pounds! I weigh more than I ever have, but I look better and my bf% is lower than ever too!! So, I know its alll muscle! YEAH!!!

Congrats on the skirts! Isnt it the BEST feeling whenyou go shopping and suddenly everything you try on looks good and makes you feel like a hottie?

I love that and it gets me pumped for more!!

anyway, just wanted to stop by and say hi and have a great weekend!

Posted by: lakergirl

one more thing jill!

you said you like sf jello? Well, my latest obsession is jello with strawberries of mandarin slices in it! its sooo good you just make the jello in little containers with teh fruit dropped in. The mandarin slices are my favorite!! mmm, they taste soo good!

That's up to you. If you want the cinnamon bun then that is a cheat. If you want to stick with bread, bagels and cereal without added fats then that's a refeed. Maybe you should do this tomorrow so you have a plan and this doesn't turn into a binge. Please don't take that to offense its just that planning the refeed or cheats are better then just waking up one day and deciding to do them.

Posted by: Jill

I already made up my mind, today im gonna have some cheats-whatever i feel like. Had some reeses pieces, and a cookie. NOT GOING TO BE A BINGE! Thanks Jodi.

I think this may shock my body.

Posted by: carbchick

Hey Jill, go for it! keep track of what you're eating - calm, controlled and mindful and you will be OK ... you can do it!

Posted by: JLB001

Jillie...I'm sorry I have been MIA. Having issues with work and stuff. I almost quit today. So...to make myself feel better... I Have had red velvet cake, a Mr. Goodbar, pizza, Cheesecake icecream and Oreos. I've lost it! Sick in the head trying to cram all the things I want by Sunday. I should never go to the food store alone after dieting so long! It's bad news! Hmm...guess I could look at it as a completely planned out week to eat bad.

Jodi is so right when she says to plan what you want out so it doesn't go overboard. Just stick to what you plan then resume with things afterward.

Posted by: Jill

Well, somehow today turned into a cheat/refeed day. Dumb ass me on a rest day (today), and tomorrow we are going to the beach. I will be blown up little piggy!

Meal 1: 1/3C oats, protein, 2ew's, 1T cottage cheese, 1/2C blueberries
Meal 2: Homemade turkey chili, cukes, diet yogurt
Meal 3: 4oz turkey, lettuce, ff sc, salsa
Shit: Tried to keep my fat as low as possible
Reeses Pieces
2 cookies
4 whole grain dinner buns-fairly small with light margarine
1.5 bagles (not at once), lt cream cheese and turkey breast
Crackers
SF ff fudgsicles

I dont know how people eat these nasty carbs-I feel gross. Bloated and disgusting. I dont think it was a full blown 'binged', but it was very close to a several hour mini binge, and I didnt like the feelings it brought back. I dont plan for a refeed or cheat for a while now. I hope this doesnt put me into any type of fat storing mode or anything. Or if it fucks up my last month of progress Ill be pissed. Call me stupid if I DARE step on the scale in the next few days....

On a lighter note Steve and I booked our tickets to the olympia!!!! We are going to all 3 shows. We also bought a new bedroom suite today too.http://www.thebrick.com/Application/...2DFA330445A43D

I'd never do atkins. I weight train frequently, the no carb thing would kill me. Read through my journal, the last month. Just hit a weight plateau, did a refeed/mini cheat today, first in a month after doing fairly low carb / low cal. Just hoping it kick starts the fat burning again.

Do not go near the scale for two days. See..it is easy to make yourself so stuffed on foods that you think you wanted so quickly. I think that is why I waste so much stuff when I do it.

I hope you had a great day at the beach! Sounds so fun.

Posted by: atherjen

MMMmm reeses peices and cookies

dang I should have had those yestarday!

stay far away from the scale for a few days Jilly... all water weight! and no worries, that one afternoon will NOT set you progress back, if anything it will aid to beat the lil plateau.

thats so awesome that you and Steve are going to the Olympia! LUCKY DUCKS!

Meal 3: 1/3C brown rice, 4oz chix, broccoli
Meal 4: 1-2oz chix, veggies, dried fruit
Meal 5: 2 pieces pizza, nachos and salsa (no cheese

snack: sf popsicles

Training:
Cardio: 50 mins ct
Weights: chest

This mornin I woke up with a horrible tummy ache-it actually lasted till atleast 4pm today. Have never experienced a tummy ache like this, EVER. Im guessing it was yesterdays food. I made myself workout, despite the uncomfortable feeling.

Today was supposed to be ALL clean, but we went to my bros house (1.5hours from home) he lives on a lake! We went boating, toobing, and wake boarding. I didnt attempt the wake boarding.

It was SUPER hot, I got a nice tan, ooops I mean sunburn! I brought some food but didnt trust the chix, cause it was to friggin hot. ATleast it wasnt a full binge or anything. I cant wait to eat clean tomorrow, back to normal. Am cardio tomorrow at 5am.

Posted by: greekblondechic

Good job Jilly!

hey.. ya had to eat something!

Posted by: Jenny

Hey Jill

Some yummy meals this weekend girl, mmm

Good job on not binging

Hopefully it will put you right back in fatburning mode

Posted by: Jill

Morning Jenny!

Our power wentout last night, so I am gonna call my work and tell them that I'll be late cause of that-when really I COULD be on time, I just wanna go do some cardio first.

I am sad.

STUPID STUPID STUPID me. I stepped on the scale this am. Up 6-7 Pounds!

Is this friggin normal or what?

The sodium in the pizza and nacho's will make you hold water. 6-7lbs isn't so bad. You will dry back out in no time.

Posted by: Jenny

Jill, throw the damn scale out the window!!

Don't stress about it sweetie, it doesn't do you any good at ALL!

Don't worry sweets

Please please please don't start your bad thinking again, you had a refeed, now move on

For real P-funk? Cause I feel like crying today. I had a huge refeed Sat too-TONNES of bread. That a contributing factor?

Posted by: JLB001

Jill..its very normal. its water weight it will come right back down when you go back to eatting clean. When you do, you will be going tinkle alot for a few days to get rid of the water, just be sure to drink more water the next few days to help flush it out.

Pizza will make you hold like a sponge. I'm not so bad with holding water from bread.

Tummy still sore from this weekend, very bloated. Wasnt very hungry today-probably cause I filled up with water 8-9L today. Trying to rid myself of the guilt from this weekend.

Oh ya, ground turkey breast is way cheaper than ground chix. It tastes the same to me too.

Posted by: greekblondechic

That much water weight is totally normal.

Posted by: Jenny

Hey Jilliegirl!

Don't worry about the water weight, it will be totally gone before you know it!

That's funny how turkey is much cheaper than chicken there

Over here it's waaaay more expensive, I guess we don't have as many of em running around

Keep up the great work and stop worrying about the cheat already

Posted by: gwcaton

If your scale is anything like mine it's only accurate to within a few pounds anyway. Anyone know what kind is best?

Posted by: Jill

Paynne, mine is pretty accurate-I just ate like a piggie this weekend.

Its digital.

she sure does get up early ... but she does what she needs to do. Doing it in the AM eliminates all the excuses we all come up with not to do it later on in the day. I tired to get my wife to get up early ... but that didn't work out so well.

Posted by: greekblondechic

I definately agree that it helps prevent other things getting in the way. Where do you find the energy? Do you just force it?

Posted by: Jill

I enjoy training in the am. Nt is right-I do what I have to do.

I love training, so that helps too

I guess its what you make a priority in your life.

Ate very good! Skipped on the pasta and fried stuff and got grilled steak and chicken breast-there portions are quite small. Ate lotsa salad with only a T or so of dressing, and drank lots of water.

Oh, and a small bite of Steves bread stick.

Also bought Sf jam to keep in the house again. That is going well.

Posted by: Jill

Thanks peeps-the concept of healthy eating is becoming normal for me.

Off to train-shoulders and cardio, my fav. Up at 6:30am, my day of too.

Forgot to charge my discman again.

Then I have a funeral this afternoon-an ex-boyfriend/best friend from high school was on a boating trip, fell off tha boat and died. He was only 25. They never did find the body. Sad. Life is too short to not live it to the fullest.

Good life lesson, huh? Life is definitely too short!!

Posted by: naturaltan

That is very sad ... sorry Jill.

What you said about life being too short is so very true. Maybe one could look at the lose of a friend like that as he went out doing something that made him happy. I really think I'd like to bow out of this world doing something I enjoy instead of slowly dying in some hospital room.

Posted by: greekblondechic

I am very sorry about your friend Jillian

Posted by: M.J.H.

Aww, I am sorry to hear about your friend as well Jill. Losing a highschool friend is so hard. Good luck dealing with it.

yep ... everyone has days that they don't want to go to the gym ... and the ones that push themselves are the ones who see changes.

Update for 07/24:
Had a cheat meal, yup, not planned at all!!! Had pizza and cheerio snack mix, both yummy!

DIDNT binge, ate clean for all other meals, and I dont feel guilty at all today. Life is too short. Yaaaaaaa for Jill, making progress!

May incorporate a cheat meal weekly, havent decided yet.

Thought I couldn't handle a 'bad' meal, it was easy.

My knee is messed-super sore for the last few days....same with my ankle, it feels like I sprained it. Dont know what I did? Stupid me still pushed through 50mins of cardio

Deff wont be running anytime soon!

Beautiful day today, no work, yipppppeeee! Off to tan on my deck!

Posted by: atherjen

WOOHOO JIllybean!!

Im soo glad your to a point where you can enjoy some foods without going-all out binge! that is PROGRESS BABY!!

Posted by: Jill

These are my plans for the next few weeks:

Im planning to drop a carb meal. To just have 2 carb meals a day, oats pre and post workout (90% of the time meals 1 & 2). If its a non training day, carbs will be my first 2 meals also. Im going to still have carbs throuhout the day, just veggies though.(and sf popsicles

) Im going to up my protein too-so my overall cals arent too low.

Im aiming for 1 cheat meal every 1-2 weeks.

Any thoughts or input????? I want to speed up the fat loss somehow, Im just not sure if this is the right way. My weight just doesnt want to buge now.

Thanks all!

Diet looks great Jill! What kind of protein pancakes are those? Do you have a recipe? I am curious because I used to make them a while back and they always turned out pretty good. And what kind of chicken is that that I see you're eating a ton of!

Posted by: Jill

Hey Monstar! P-pancakes are: 1/3-1/4C (or more) oats, 2 ew's, 1T cottage cheese, 1 scoop protein, steiva, pinch of baking soda and baking powder. Mix all together and fry in a pan with pam! I usually use vanilla protein, and sometimes I use chocolate, then add 1/2T of coco, yummy!

As for the chix yesterday I cooked it on the bbq. Normally I buy about $15-20 worth of ground chix (or turkey breast) at once, cook it all in a pot, then add a pack of taco spice. I then eat it with salsa or lettuce and ff sc. Its nice when it is all cooked in the fridge, it last me about 4 days.

Anyone see my post above??

Posted by: Stacey

Hey Jill, Just catching up on your journal. Your meals look great. I'm very sorry to hear about your friend!!!

That's so sad!

Posted by: lakergirl

HI JILL!

Sorry i cant give you any help on the diet thing, im trying to learn some stuff myself! oh well! im sure I will learn in time, just as im sure someone on here will be able to help you@

GREAT idea about te chix, sounds soooo yummy! I couldnt quite picture eating salsa just on plain chicken, but that sounds soooo good. I think that is what i will try tomorrow!

thanks!!

have a good workout today!!

Posted by: naturaltan

I saw your post Jill ... just don't have the knowledge to suggest anything.

Posted by: gwcaton

Jill,

How long since you have taken a few days off from training? You post what you will be working but not your actual wo. Could you be overtraining ? How long since you have changed your routine ? Different exercises, different sequence, different rep range , super sets , giant sets, etc.

I know you do a lot of cardio but a different type of cardio might get you started burning fat again. The body adapts to the exercises, cardio and diet pretty easily so you have to change and keep it guessing.

I personally think a cheat meal every week will do you good. When I do fat loss I have a cheat day once a week ( more like a couple of meals than an all day feast ).

Good luck Babe ! xoxo

Posted by: Jill

Thanks Gary.... I just changed my weights a month ago. Higher reps, less weight, really focusing on training my muscles, not my ego

I always incorperate supersets, dropsets, and compound sets, and my execises vary workout to workout-I always keep my muscles guessing.

As for cardio I always change that too-different machines-intervals, etc... I just have to be careful cause my knee is really starting to give me some trouble lately.

I want to cheat today-Im very cranky and dont feel like eating clean. I had a couple of reeses pieces, so far.....(from a 25 cent machine) I just need to stay strong, and not let my emotions dictate my eating. Frick I am moody today

Posted by: atherjen

resist the urge to give in girlie!

your doing well! dont let those silly female hormones control you!

as for the diet issue- I think having just the carbs in 2 meals rather than 1 is fine.. although I wouldnt cut back on carbs too much.. do you know the total grams your getting per day?
a cheat meal once a week is a good idea.. for metabolism and whatnot, but be sure that YOU are able to emotionally handle it and not let it lead to binges, your proved that this past week..

I know you have it in you.

Posted by: Jill

Thanks AJ-I think Im gonna try just 2 carb meals a day (besides veggie carbs) Im wondering if that why Im cranky today, or maybe its pms, who knows?

Since I stopped the pill a few months ago my hormones are a little out of wack.

We tend to get a lil moody when doing a lower carb. If its too much, add some back in. Then to add our visitor in, makes it 10 times worse.

Posted by: Jill

My weight hasnt moved in almost 3 weeks-had a couple cheats in there, and thought it might help the progress, but It seemed to do nothing-but leave me at the same friggin # on the scale.....Im getting frusterated. I just wanna give up and pig out. I dont know what to do. Anybody??

Posted by: naturaltan

how about quit looking at the scale ...

Posted by: Jill

I wish I could Nt

Posted by: naturaltan

you seemed to be in the zone for the longest time ... then suddenly you have a bad day and talk about losing it ... pull it together miss Jill!! Do not force me to come over there and let you have it young lady.

Btw ... when are we doing coffee?

Posted by: greekblondechic

Have patience. Stalling is normal. Besides isn't your period coming?

Posted by: Jill

I know I need to pull it together NT. Have you went to K days?? Im not sure If Im gonna go or not this year. Coffee, soon I promise!!! I dont have a work schedule for the next few weeks so ill let ya know real soon!!! Are you going to the o?

Since Ive stopped the pill no period-almost 2 months.

Hope Im not preggo

Posted by: naturaltan

we're going to k-days Friday with our daughter.

Not too sure about Vegas ... if we go, it may be a last minute thing ... seem to get a better deal if you can do it that way. We're thinking about Hedo next year, plus a house this year ... so those are all pretty big expenditures.

Ok ... you let me know about coffee.

Posted by: greekblondechic

Maybe you should take a test? You want to find out sooner than later.

I wouldn't be too freaked out. My ex-girlfriend went 4 months without her period and wasn't pregnant, lol. Stress, change of diet, and all sorts of things can throw it off.

BTW, hang in there! You have done so well up to this point and you were my motivation to stop the binging completely. You're not going to lose anything. Change things up some, but don't lose track of your goals.

Posted by: Jill

Monstar-you are super cute! Responding to my pms problems!!!

And me being a motivation-That makes me feel wonderful!!

I still have a lot of things to work on....

1600 Cals
208P, 120C, 23F

I have been under-estimating my cals...

I have been counting my chix and turkey way to low in protein and cals. I was going by what the package says, except that was raw, when I am eating it cooked.

Training:
Cardio: 40mins, stupid knee
Weights: Bis and Tris

Posted by: Jodi

Jill

If you don't want me to butt in tell me but I'm gonna throw my 2 cents in and then you can tell me to shut up.

1. Where do you have 120G C.? - 2 servings of 1/3C. oats is only 36G Carbs
2. I plugged everything you have into fitday and I am only coming up with 1100 cals. No way close to 1600 cals.
3. 5 oz. Chix is 45G Protein
4. If you want to know why fat loss is slow, IMO, its because you are in starvation mode. You have set your metabolism into slow motion and its not going to come back the way you are eating.

Again, you asked for opinions and I really just wanted to keep my mouth shut but after seeing that you are only eat 1100 cals a day, it was hard to.

Posted by: Jill

Thanks for budding in, I am so happy!!!!

I have 40Carbs from oaties. I also count ALL my carbs, sf jam, popsicles, salsa, and ALL veggies. (I weigh them too) 9oz of broccoli is 14carbs. My veggie carbs at dinner were 20C. Im pretty accurate. There is no way I only ate 1100 cals, trust me. Im calculating NOW 5oz chix at 40P.

What do you think i should do now??? Im betting cause of the chix mistake I was underestimating cals by a couple hundred a day.

Posted by: sara

Jill- I had the same problem and didn't know I was really starving myself till Jodi explained everything

Posted by: Jodi

There is too much fiber in vegetables to count that towards carbs. You can't count carbs that your body can't use. Your body cannot process fiber so therefore it doesn't utilize the cals coming from fiber. That's why you always see us not counting veggies, because some of them are even negative calories. For instance its been said before that it takes more cals to chew celery than it actually contains. The only veggies I ever count are asparagus, avacado and eggplant.

Posted by: Jill

So what do you suggest now? Should I try my totals without veggies?

Posted by: naturaltan

I bet Jodie says .... yep

Posted by: sara

Jill- I tried to count veggies before and didn't work for me.. that just caused me to over-eat on junk food.. please don't count the veggies

Posted by: Jodi

That would be my suggestion and figure from what you are actually eating for real cals and then go from there.

Posted by: Jill

How many cals in TOTAL do you think I should be at Jodi? BW X what #? Id like to lose fat at a reasonable pace.

Posted by: Jodi

Jill, I don't want to do this again. Whenever I try to help you it always turns out wrong.

I don't mind providing advice but only you need to figure out what works for you now.

You've tried it a few different ways with me and I can't seem to get it right for you. Whether you don't like the diet or you don't give it a chance, I don't know but asking me to do this again is not fair to me either.

Posted by: Jill

Ya, your right Jodi. I'll just give it a shot on my own again. Monitoring my overall cals is where I will start. It is true that I just need to find out what works for me, right? Im thinking my weight loss plateaued, maybe cause my cals were too low-Im going to try to slowly increase them. OR it could have been the cheats. ANy of your input is always welcome. Thanks.

Nighty night girlies.

Posted by: carbchick

Good going Jill

non-starchy veggies are FREE, nutritious and delicious! It's time for me to shake up and shape up, too. Standing still gets awful monotonous

I would not cut carbs further. could you not kind of shimmy around 1g/bw of the starchy stuff? and be prepared to give what you change a chance - and quit scale-hopping?

tall orders! Just my 2c. What do I know?

Posted by: atherjen

I totally agree- bump those calories up some girlie. Your body is not going to burn the fat if it must hang onto evyerthing your eating just to feed vital organs and keep your body running. IMO you could defintly stand to add some EFA's. with the meat/veggie meals. if peanut butter and nuts cause more cravings, then use flax/hemp or olive oil. and get some fish oil caps.
You can do this!

Posted by: Jill

Morning AJ! Im going to start taking fishies again (i have a bottle in my cubbord) For now I have to skip on the nuts and pb. Yesterday I was at the grocery store and the have peanut butter mixed with chocolate in a jar!!!

I bet its good. The jar smelled good.

I also walked by that stupid cheerio snack mix 2X, I wanted it so bad!!!! I even took out my cellie, and used the calculator on it-to find out how many cals were in the whole bag!!

(700 and some) Im going to fit that bag into my totals next week!

Got a date with the gym this am, leggies!

Dispite my knee-feeling a little better. Just will be a light one. Have a great day peeps!

I have to completely agree with this, no questions asked. I notice that so many females here on IM who have journals seem to be eating so little! I mean I can't imagine how starved they must feel. I mean I understand you want to drop some flab like we all do but you have to know where to draw the line. I feel like lately I have been eating more than ever, just more and more and more meals. No matter what time of day if I get a little hungry I eat, I just keep it clean. And today at the gym I felt extremely lean. I think I am finally heading in the right direction with my diet.

Don't be afraid to throw in an extra clean meal, IMO. Your body will thank you for it. Good luck!

Posted by: atherjen

Well said Mikster

I couldnt agree more.

Posted by: greekblondechic

I think you are undereating too princess. But judging from past experiences (mine and yours) bump those calories up slowly! I seem to be able to lose fat when I stick to 1800 cals (very rough estimate) and do my workouts, whereas when I was eating 900-1100 I wasn't getting ANYWHERE.

Stop fretting already! The attitude is what's really going to control your weight loss long term.

Posted by: Jill

That is a good post Monstar. Im really trying right now to eat for nutritional reasons-not emotional ones. I dont think I am undereating, but I am going to try increase cals a little. I am trying to loose some bf.

The chicken burgers sounds yummy Jill.. You didn't need egg whites to kepp the mixture together?

I normally would have added an egg white but I forgot after the patties were already made. They actually stayed together better this time that I DIDNT put the egg white in.

I have been a bitch, cranky and moody almost all day. I am tired. I want bad food. I have been craving junk ALL day. I dont know whats wrong with me. Could it be pms since T.O.M hasnt visited in several months??? I did control those nasty little voices in my head as I walked towards the reeses pieces 0.25 machine. Didnt get any. I would have cheated today if it wasnt for my b-day thursday-I have several 'cheat' foods on my list. Just a few more days to go. Oh and my throat has been hurting for several days.

Posted by: JLB001

I crave junk bad when its getting close to that month. It sucks! You don't want to know what I have had this weekend due to those cravings.

I'm so glad you are starting to see results again! woohoo

I have been craving bad stuff lately too, and I'm trying to figure out is it because I'm constantly around it at work, or because I let myself taste it here and there, or because of PMS. I'm def not being strict so thats not it.

Can you have a taste and not any more?

I can have just a taste-I just had a teeny weeny bite of the fudge! Like not even the size of a penny-maybe 1/2 a penny!!

IMO I would DEFF crave junk if I had it in the house!! Last night Steve wanted chips, or something to snack on while he watched a movie. I was like "sorry, how about some lettuce or chicken??'. WE HAVE NOTHING BAD IN THE HOUSE! For real, its kinda sad. Thursday its a free for all for me though!!!

Things are looking fabulous Jill, keep up the hard work. It's really great that you're treating yourself a tad without letting things get out of control, that's so important IMO.

I havn't had a chance to read much more of my book on binging but honestly lately I have been eating so much cleaner food my desire to binge is pretty much nonexistant.

Keep up the hard work, how old are you turning BTW?
