Okay, so I just had some sauerkraut. It helped my taste buds. I feel much better. End of true confession.

: Oh, dragonfly, I am so incredibly impressed
: that you are doing without cigarettes and
: pop, I'm downright InSPIRED. Homestly, I sat
: down at this computer just now, thinking
: that nothing anybody said could possibly
: make me want to continue this, because I am
: so hungry, and so upset about some family
: problems. Then I read what you wrote to me,
: and I feel like I'm not asking too much of
: myself AT ALL. NO MORE FEELING SORRY FOR
: MYSELF! THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU,
: DAGONFLY, FOR STEPPING OUT ABOVE THE CROWD,
: AND RAISING THE BAR FOR ME! Because of your
: post, I will be able to make it through the
: rest of this day, and believe me, I was
: headed for trouble. ~Hugs, Susie

: Susie,
: I am so happy top hear that you are doing so
: well. I am very very happy for you. I
: definaely feel a bit fatigued durning this
: initial stage so your number mix-ups are
: something I totally identify with. I mixed
: up my numbers a bit myself. Now I right my
: morning weight down every day in my
: calendar. I started doing that on 8/25th.
: I was a little higher in weight before that
: and had already stared watching my weight,
: but didn't really track it until the 25th.
: SO that is what I call my start date now.
: So I think I am on day 9, in 8 days I went
: from 215 down to 209, for a loss of 6
: pounds. I know that some do a lot more than
: that, but I am very happy as well. I
: alreadyy feel the bloat leaving me and feel
: less "puffy". Mostly though, I am
: so so so so PROUD of myself for NOT NOT NOT
: going back to smoking or diet pops. Every
: time in the past I started a diet and used
: it as an excuse to take back my two other
: bad faults. Thgis time I am on CAmbridge
: cig and pop free. I am very happy about
: that. I feel like I am getting healthy
: again.
:
: I started to drink tonic water for the fizz.
: There is no artifical sweetner or anything
: in it. Now, I know it is not like grabbibg
: a nice cold diet coke, but I am learning to
: like/love it. I like the feel of popping
: the can open and taking a cold slug. It has
: been working for me so far. I am also
: drinking a minimum of a gallon of water a
: day. I am almost to the point where I have
: to have it. Funny huh.
:
: I just can't wait to get myself back under
: 200 again. I am upset I let myself put the
: weight back on, but I am happy I am dealing
: with it before it got more out of hand. I
: am still 30 pounds lighter from my high
: point in life, so I only gained back 1/2
: before deciding to do something again.
:
: I am happy to be here.
:
: Cograts again Susie!!!!

: Not on purpose, though. It was a brain-dead
: moment, that whole day! I had actually lost
: only 8 1/2 pounds by the sixth day--I just
: subtracted wrong.
:
: AND, when I said I had gotten down to 134 a
: year and a half ago, I transposed the
: numbers, oops. I had actually gottne down to
: 143 pounds. So that's why I thought an extra
: ten pounds would look pretty okay.
:
: Are any of you finding yourself going
: brain-dead, here and there, on this diet?
:
: Anyway. I'm starting my second week today,
: and I have lost a total of 9 pounds (for
: sure this time) so far. So in the last two
: days, I have lost one pound.
:
: But I figure that a 1/2 pound loss per day
: is HUGE, if it's fat, and not water. Because
: it takes 3500 calories to make a pound, and
: my body weight only uses about 2000 calories
: a day. So I can't possibly use up a whole
: pound's worth of of fat in one day, I'm
: thinkin'.
:
: Well, so I started out at 164, and now 175,
: YOU do the math hee hee!
