Taking Control 2

Jill · 04-21-2004, 03:06 PM

Thanks Jenny. We've lived together for just over a year, been together for 4 1/2. I know not to turn to food today...It will only make me worse after.

Stacey · 04-21-2004, 04:07 PM

ohh I thought you guys were married!!

atherjen · 04-21-2004, 05:26 PM

awww Jillybean I hope that you and Steve can work things out!! Im sure it all will!

try not to stress too much hun-only makes it worse! and good girl for not letting food control your emotions today, thats a big step forward! Im proud of you!
hang in there!

greekblondechic · 04-21-2004, 06:26 PM

Aww sweetie! I am sorry you are not having such a great day! *HUGS* instead of turning to food, go for a walk, listen to some relaxing music, go to the bookstore, anything not involving food! It takes 21 days to make or break a habit, and 90 days for it to get REALLY ingrained.. so be good for 21 days and and then u wont really even think about food when ur upset

ltennis299 · 04-21-2004, 06:31 PM

ahh Jilly.. sorry about your day. Believe me.. the last year of my life was a rollercoaster..that still kinda is.. but now everything is turning out for the better. Just stay optimistic! you'll be fine i'm sure.. you are so strong! oh yeah and listen to greeky!! i'm taking her advice too! hmm why can't we think these things to tell ourselves when we are eating bad stuff?

well me at least

hope your day gets ALOT better!

greekblondechic · 04-21-2004, 06:36 PM

I believe it's cuz we use food to "numb" ourselves from whatever is hurting us. We start eating and all of a sudden our brains just blank out. I do believe that this is truly a matter of habit, and habits CAN be broken!!!!!

Jill · 04-21-2004, 08:11 PM

You are cute Stacey-but we are not married, feels like it though.

AJ you have always been their for me, a big thanks to you, you are so encouraging.

Greeky and Lynnie I know you 2 can relate to the emotional eating and know how I feel. I left work 4 hours early-Steve and i are trying to work things out, I really hope we do. I didnt turn to food at all, and It feels pretty darn good.

I hope you work it out too girly, but the mere fact that you want to work it out (and I'm guessing he does too) makes me believe that you will.

Nice meals.. what are soy crisps?

Jill · 04-21-2004, 08:42 PM

Hey sis!

Soy crisps are mini rice cakes, but made with soy. They are real thin and crunchy. Sooooooo good! Thank god the bag is gone, counting out 10 sucks cause I really wanna eat the whole bag!!

Im putting in a lasagna for Steve, and not gonna have any!

Seriously.

greekblondechic · 04-21-2004, 08:45 PM

What flavors do they come in?

Hey twin, I'm upset, I am talking to this trainer guy who seems to really understand that my body is different from the average girl (muscular and put on muscle easy) to see what he tells me. However, he estimated my bodyfat at 28-30% from pics (probably accurate) and I am upset

Jill · 04-21-2004, 08:49 PM

I got white cheddar soy crisps, dont know what other flavors they come in.

Bf at 28? NEVER. Mine was 21%, I dont know how accturate that is but I think I have more bf, and maybe muscle than you. Why not get it tested? You should post some recent pics.

Oh check out the recipe I found in the recipe section, I found it printed out here at home. I think Im gonna try it tomorrow after I get my toes done!

Jenny · 04-21-2004, 10:21 PM

Go Jill, go Jill, goooooooooooo Jill

atherjen · 04-22-2004, 09:05 AM

Jiilybean your diet looked great yestarday! how do you feel with that? how are cravings etc? Youve been doing so great!!

4 days!!!

what did you have done to your toes???

Viv hunnie dont get down on yourself!! thats just ONE guys estimate! I dont think you that high at all. why not have it tested as Jilly said if you really want to know. Youve been doing great already!! Im proud of you!

Jill · 04-22-2004, 09:11 AM

Hey AJ and Jenny!

I feel ok today Aj-I didnt emotionally eat yesterday, and I had a hard day. My last meal was egg whites and yogurt. Do you peeps think 1800 cals is too much??? Oh, I havent had any HUGE cravings, maybe its cause Im not restricting cabs.

AND cause Im not eating emotionally.

Oh and AJ Im getting my toes done tonight, 'gel' toe nails, like my fingernails

People think Its weird, but I like nice looking feet!

naturaltan · 04-22-2004, 09:25 AM

the missus eats rought 1750 cals ... as per Donna's plan.

I must commend you ... based on history, I was surely expecting to read this morning that you would have broken down and gave in to the emotional day. You should really feel great that you didn't cave. Although I don't think you're out of the woods yet, you should keep yesterdays events relating to your meals engrained in your memory for future reference! Nice work Jill!!

greekblondechic · 04-22-2004, 07:40 PM

Those assholes! I would've seriously cried, I was so upset when somebody keyed my old car. Do you have any idea who did it and why? I mean, keying the whole roof is different from casually walking by and keying the side like some people do for "fun"

I'm proud of you for not turning to food darling. You are so strong!

OMG !!!! Those bastards! Death to those who mess with Jill !!

Hi Cutie ! TGIF !!! Youare doing soooooooo good !

DrChiro · 04-23-2004, 08:07 AM

McGuire's (sp) scratch remover...available at Wal-Mart.....that stuff works great...of course it depends on how deep the scratch is....but it's like $7 and did a great job on my car..I was impressed.

Just put it on and really rub it in hard and see if that works before you go getting a new paint job (unless insurance covers it....then go for it!)

people who fuck with other people cars are the worst....they should impose the death penalty for that shit!
