Candace, you are such a darling person. Like ami, I don't know what happened last time, but I can guess. It's so difficult when you are at the point that you are. You're still figuring out what is best for you and are making some strong and well-defined but also some tentative and unsure changes and the last thing you need is negativity coloring your world. Let them have their own damn coloring book. Yours is taken! Hugs and a little for you and some and for them.

Wanted to apologize to everyone who came to the WLS group on Thursday. I started getting sick that evening and havent been back since then. I have pneumonia

So I havent been here since that night. I do check my email once a day so if anyone needs to get a a hold of me, PM here at BFP and I will see it in my email. Im so proud of everyone who has made that first step towards a longer life and better health. Im sorry I havent been much support since we started the WLS group, but I promise as soon as I am better I will come out fighting.

My love to all,
Jewel

I just hope it doesn't happen again

It is ok, just fine, normal to have feelings

Thanks honey

There's a long road ahead to forgiving myself for fucking up my body so badly. I am not who I want to be now....but I'm working towards becoming who I want to be. The me who I am.

Hope you feel better soon, love.

It sucks to get sick. blegh.

So, I am now working a lot. To make up for the days of my suspension.

I wanted to give everyone a nice pat on the back for any and all progress made!

*pat, pat*

canmarielan · 01-26-2010, 03:14 AM

I totally know that everyone has a life. So, I'm going to keep posting, and hope that everyone will come back so I'm not talking to myself.

So, today I decided to go back to school. I found a school in lower washington that has an LPN to RN program which I am uber excited about. So, I have to take a few more pre-req courses before I can apply. They even have an online option where I only have to drive up there a few weeks out of the whole program. WHOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

So, if all of my plan goes right I will be at my first weight loss goal (250), in an RN program and have all of my debt paid off by this time next year!!!!!! WHOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has become pretty easy to stay on top of my calories. Though, I have been working every day so I haven't had time to sit around and snack. Also, by the time I get off of work most restaurants are closed

I have been tempted a few times to stop off at like taco bell or burger king. I had to talk myself out of it.....and breath a few deeps breaths and relax.

The only thing I'm can't quite do is stop the smoking. I'm still doing about 3-5 a day, which is WAY less than what I was doing before. I also can't seem to work up the courage to get back to the gym. My ankle is starting to feel better and I know I should get in there...but......blegh.

Anyway I'm going to the community college on Wednesday to take care of registration for my pre-req courses.

WOOHOOO Good Morning Biggest Losers! I hope that everyone's week is off to a happy, healthy start!

CONGRATS Candace on heading back to school. See, positive changes are taking place in your life. Good for you for continuing to learn, grow and making a better future for yourself. I am hella proud of you for not falling into the late night eating traps... something I myself can be so guilty of. You've done awesome honey, keep up the good work. As for the smoking kick... at least you have cut down. I KNOW that it is damn near impossible to do 2 drastic life changes at the same time, so I applaud you for cutting back on the smoking treats. You'll be able to quit in the near future... I see it!

As for me, honestly I haven't even stepped on a scale. I KNOW that I've gained weight... I can tell by the way my clothes fit (or better yet, don't fit right). But, I have started paying more attention to what I've been eating and started walking with one of my girlfriends. Not to mention, as much as I hate to say it, trying to cut back on the Diet Cokes. Yes, I know they are Diet, but research shows that although they have no calories, they still aren't good for you. So, I've been trying to drink as much water (with Crystal Light added) as possible. It's tough when those afternoon caffeine headaches kick in and I really want a Diet Coke.

I am going on vacation to Mexico in April, so I wanna lose a little weight before my trip. It's my motivation right now... along with all of you!

Everyone has been doing an awesome job... let's keep it up!
