Besides, my jaw muscles are the only muscles in my body that are in perfect condition. Powerful in both chatter and snacking.<BR/><BR/>Mo! Lovely to see you. So not commenting for a month is what draws you over? Duly noted. I have been reading your posts, but apparently asking this dial-up to load the comment page is more than its puny self can stand.<BR/><BR/>Motherboard, sorry to be the bearer of bad news.<BR/><BR/>Ray, my sister in Chicago has suggested her plan: using a salad plate and eating anything you can fit on it. But I think 30 small portions a day won't be especially effective. <BR/><BR/>Heidi, I did 5 months once clean and sober, but once I eat that first refined carb, I jump off the wagon and that's the end of that.<BR/><BR/>Sue, I feel your pain.<BR/><BR/>Melanie, I like WW, but I always run out of money before I run out of excess wieght. And I can't seem to muster the self-control of following the plan without the threat of the weekly weigh-in.Jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049138813340800745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277361803634899411.post-38964868815891930992008-11-26T22:47:00.000-08:002008-11-26T22:47:00.000-08:00Wow, I totally didn't mean it that way, I just mea...Wow, I totally didn't mean it that way, I just meant that even chewing through that many bagels gives me bagel jaw.

I could eat it all day, yum.<BR/>I love food, so I eat a lot. But I finally had to cut my portion sizes for a while to let my stomach contract back down to a reasonable size. Now I still eat a lot, just less of it. That doesn't make any sense at all....<BR/>Haven't seen you lately, wanted to check in and say hey.

I was laughing, but it was introspective, since I weigh WAY more than I did when I was completely happy with my weight. <BR/><BR/>All that has worked for me is smaller portions, much less sugar, more walking. At least I've stopped putting it on, and I've actually lost almost 20 lbs. from my peak. It has taken two years to do it, but I'm ok with a pound a month.Papa Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704974609266088416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277361803634899411.post-88768109309227481562008-11-22T11:08:00.000-08:002008-11-22T11:08:00.000-08:00The only thing that has remotely worked for me (ex...The only thing that has remotely worked for me (except go on a sugar free diet for 7 weeks two years ago which resulted in losing 15 pounds--the whole ketosis thing--but it was all back within 8 months) is to count calories and eat the same thing every day. I tell myself I can eat what I want but I HAVE to write it down. Finding out how many calories something is (I know all the calories of the things I eat every day) can be a big pain and when I do, it can be quite horrifying. There is something like 300 calories in just a plain bagel. Sickening, isn't it? One large apple might be more like 100 calories than 80 but it's sweet and it's just as filling AND it won't gum up your system (lots of weight is due to stuff stuck in our, er, well, you know. That white pasty stuff is a huge culprit of that). So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. If I stick to the program I do lose the weight and keep it off (it's those wheat eating holidays that do me in every time. Right now I am just concentrating on losing the weight I am bound to gain over the holidays.)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660156433881882098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277361803634899411.post-32802377190704239772008-11-22T10:41:00.000-08:002008-11-22T10:41:00.000-08:00I had to have a medical exam for a life insurance ...I had to have a medical exam for a life insurance policy this morning.

It should involve tasting. Lots and lots of tasting.Melanie Jacobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489615939726209573noreply@blogger.com
