re: PuttaDaForkDown

Thursday and Friday are going to be a good test of my willpower. Friday is one of my best friends' wedding, I can't miss that. Thursday night is the rehearsal dinner and they REALLY want me to go since I don't get to see them often.

Any typical wedding reception finger foods that would be okay for me to eat on? What about the snausages or meatballs, do you guys know if the sauces have carbs? Or should I pack something and eat it prior to?

Thanks for the advice. I'm not going to blow it, I was just hoping there was something I could eat on while I was there, but if not I'll stay away. I've never been so motivated for really anything in my life, this is exciting.

Definitely. I've done it in the past and I think the prior knowledge is really coming through in helping me. My roommate and I have our own separate foods now, although I do offer to share my burger patties and stuff with him. But the other day he cooked some spaghetti, which is one of my favorites. I managed to not only not eat any, I didn't even taste it. I just went in my room, ate a cheesestick, and played on my computer to get my mind off of the fact that there's spaghetti in the kitchen. It's all mental, and that's what makes it hard.

One thing I can't wait for is for me and my friends to start having pool parties again. We always grill steaks, chicken, etc and play and hang around in the pool all day long. Great excercise and I won't be breaking my diet. It's definitely becoming warm enough to start those up again.

And I can be an a-hole for a while, for sure. I already laid down the law with my friends that if I go out, I'm not drinking. They respected that I'm so serious about this and I don't think I'll have a problem with them trying to get me to drink anymore. If they do, I'll leave. Simple as that. Told them I'll be their DD as long as they don't pressure me to drink.

Great job on breaking 200!

There is going to be nothing at the wedding you can eat. Maybe cheese if they have fruit and cheese.

Maybe some vegetables with ranch dressing but not too much ranch as it has some sugar.

Meat. If they have any plain meat, you can eat that but avoid anything that has been sauced.

You are probably just entering induction. Don't get yourself kicked out.

I know you like to be social and you can't avoid this wedding, but you are probably going to have to be a little bit of a hermit for this to work.

Putting yourself in view of tempting food and beverages is just not a good way to stay on the diet long term.

So, stay away from booze, sauce, break or anything fried. You can eat some veggies or plain meat and cheese. Anything else will knock your arse right out of induction.

Never too late. I plan to post here until chicken closes the doors. :D

Welcome aboard.

Wal-Mart is officially on my shite list.

I placed my bike order on the 21st of February. I figured it would immediately be processed as the bike was in stock at the store I selected for pickup.

I was then sent a pickup date of 2/28 - 3/4. I was pissed about this so I made a stink about it. I sent them a few emails. They responded apologizing for my confusion. That made a small vein in my skull explode and I am now 32% dumberereer.

They did promise I would receive a phone call on the matter within 1-3 days.

That was 5 days ago.

The shitty tracking system has been stuck on 2/23 until just a few minutes ago.

Great news, the shipment has been delayed and now I can expect the bike by 3/12.

Another vein just sploded in my hed end i seam too bee havin prolems with me braim compaertmwnrt.......blarghhhh!

Not many people can lose weight that way. They need to see big results or eventually they lose steam.

Plus if you put yourself in temptations sites to often you are bound to slip big and with any diet slipping big can lead to quitting.

I'm a firm advocate of hermit mode until you have a big enough head of steam going to be able to withstand some slips.

Just as the alcoholic in recovery needs to avoid bars, I believe the foodaholic needs to avoid dangerous situations at least until they have the big mo behind them.

My two cents even if it is only worth a penny.

what the heck do you know about anything? You got fired by Dinkins and you can't sell computers worth a damn.
