DD, I know what you mean. Being from GA, I was brought up on Fried food overload, but I no longer crave (or can tolerate) must of the stuff. Fried Chicken was once my favorite food, now I prefer it baked.

Just the stupid fries, that is all I still crave.

What's really sad is that I can't even TASTE food and I still crave it.

As I said to you earlier, dear, you are quite a case study.

Patronus---Is that you in your av? (wait, that's a different thread) If so, you look fine to me! Don't go crazy with it.

For me, it's mostly about feeling comfortable. I hope that's the case with all of you.

I'm not losing weight to turn heads anymore. I did that before, but I was single then. It was good motivation for me, too. But now, I just want to feel "good" during the day, and comfortable in my skin and clothes. So far it's working, and I'm happily staying on track.

...but I look forward to "turning heads" again too! (I'd be lyin' if I didn't say that.) That's the added bonus this time, though.

Yes, that's me in the avatar. Thanks.

I am hoping that I can use it for motivation to lose the pounds and have a Jerby-esque before and after shot.

For me it's just that I don't feel comfortable wearing the close that I want to wear and feel a little self conscious in them. Plus it's health motivated too. My parents didn't deal me the greatest genes in the world so I need to reel it in a bit.

"That'd be key! We have a tendency to buy bad things thinking we can handle them in small qualities. No dice."

Patronius , I can't even have packages of certain GOOD things in the apartment. I find it impossible to buy a six-pack of Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches and not finish the entire pack at one sitting. So I don't have them in the house.

I'd eat the entire box too if it wouldn't kill my stomach.

Someone at work offered me one of the 1 pt WW chocolates yesterday. I turned it down. I think at this stage of the game I need to be very careful not to get the taste of candy in my mouth at all.

So far so good!

Be careful going cold turkey, Patronus. Allow yourself that one piece and then set up a time schedule for your next one, a day or two later. Going cold turkey can set oneself up for failure. And that leads to a vicious cycle. Not to mention, the success of WW is allowing you to have food. Up to your point limit....

I'm having what I now have for breakfast when I'm at work early - a yogurt, fruit, and granola parfait from the local deli.

I won't say what I had....

But you work out. I don't. I have to watch what I eat very carefully if I want to lose.

In celebration of having lost 46 lbs and my 8 month WW anniversary I decided to post some Before and After pictures. The before is about 5 to 10 lbs heavier than when I actually started, but it the best Before I have.

Yoda - your happiness shows in your face, sweetie - congratulations! That's a profound effort, and you should be very happy and proud. I hope you feel as good as your smile

Congrats!

congrats Yoda.

I forgot to chime in about my weigh in this past Thursday. When I weighed in, I found out that I lost another 3.2 pounds which brings my two week weight loss to:

8.8 pounds

That is almost 10 pounds in 2 weeks. I am so excited. LOVE weight watchers.

Good for you, Spider - but I really think what you owe it to is that you're really loving yourself

[brdlwyr]

Posted: 2/5/06 at 10:58pm

After today, I will not get on the scale tomorrow! Super Bowl is super eating.

I ate so much today..but I'm telling myself it's okay because I was at a birthday party. I have to rationalize it. Besides, I had dance practice today, I probably burned calories from that.

Spider - I bet if you asked that woman whom you love, she'd tell you you already are

[spiderdj82]

Posted: 2/5/06 at 11:07pm

That is exactly what she told me last night **Giggidy, Giggidy**
