Good morning, Friends!
Back to day before yesterday's weight again. You know....before the 760 ice cream I had for a little nitetime mini-binge. Haha! It's a beautiful, sunny, warm morning here.

Good morning, Friends!
Last nite, I got to really worrying about Mom not feeling well and I resorted to negative behaviour I resorted to in the past when under a lot of stress and instead of simply trusting the Lord to heal Mom, I took it on myself to be fearful, and to comfort myself, I remembered the pint of 760 cals ice cream my Daughter brought me last week and ate it to try to soothe my worries away. Thing is, I was not even really hungry! So there's the confession of your hypocrite this morning. Had I simply trusted the Lord to take care of Mom and not let fear take over me, the scale wouldn't have been UP this morning and I could have had the PEACE the Lord wants me to have without eating that pint of ice cream and feeling VERY NAUSEATED and having an upset stomach afterwards. I am a Christian and as i look back over the past years of my life, i see this pattern of behaviour, not just of giving in to overeating to try to comfort myself after allowing myself to become fearful, but I also see that God always came through and I let myself suffer needlessly when I could have been joyful while waiting on the manifestation of God's help. So many days I could have been joyful and peaceful and I let fear rule. What kind of Christian is that? Not trusting God for His Help. Lord, please help me be a better Christian, I pray.

Update: Visited Mom a couple of hours and took her some mashed potatoes, chicken noodle soup, canteloupe, peaches, and gatorade which has electrolytes in it (to drink over ice). She ate some of the food and drank some gatorade. I polished her fingernails at her request. I talked with her nurse and her nurse talked with the supervisor nurse, who checked Mom over while I was there. The supervisor nurse ordered some more medicine for Mom, which I believe and hope will help her. Thank you for your prayers. Though still in the bed, Mom seemed better today than yesterday. :-)

Good morning to you!
It is another pretty, sunny, warm August morning here in South Carolina, USA.
I decided to put my weight in today. As you can see, I am definitely UP from my 140.0 goalweight I was recently at.
Food today:
fried egg sandwich w most of 2 diet breads 190
honeybun (I really wanted 6 donut holes @ 300 cals, but decided not to drive to next town to get them, so I sub'ed) 360
small piece of candy (why?) 30
chocolate fudgesicle ice cream (I really wanted a 600 cals sundae, but sub'ed) 110
2 small pieces candy (why?) 60
tomatoes on toast (was real good, Cleaneating...after I had this, Hubby decided to have him a toasted tomato sandwich!) 100

chocolate fudgesicle ice cream 110
Total est. cals: 1450
Update: Went and sat with Mom about an hour and a half while she ate her lunch. Her toenails were trimmed and apparently, according to her nurse, her toe may have been cut by the podiatrist during the process, the nurse called me to tell me before I went up there to the nursing home. They are keeping antibiotic cream and bandade on it, she said. She didn't say straight out that he did it, but did say that he said he put some antibiotic cream on it. I'm sorry that happened to Mom but I didn't make a big deal out of it, since they are doing what they can to help it get well.
Hope you're having a nice day!
Love, Maria
Right,my tomatoes I store in the refridgerator but I always take my tomatoes out a few hours before I going to them,thats how I just like my tomatoes realyy,if eaten straight from I find there is little taste as they are too cold (I find the same with fruit),and I don't liked cooked tomatoes,but you can cook them and have them on toast still some of my friends like this,its just my personal preference to have them uncooked and not too cold.
Have a good day.
145 is a bit higher than the ideal 140, but not by much.... you are doing great! Hugs to you!

Good morning to you!
I was going to put up a pretty picture on this entry this morning but I found something better I want to share with you. Below is something I came across, not expecting to, and read this morning while surfing the internet and it may NOT apply to you nor anyone you know and if not, please disregard. However it may apply to you or someone you know and I think it is good information:
Eating Disorder or Diet?
The web address is: http://www.something-fishy.org/whatarethey/edordiet.php
.......................................................
The most common element surrounding ALL Eating Disorders is the inherent presence of a low self esteem .
Having an Eating Disorder is much more than just being on a diet. An Eating Disorder is an illness that permeates all aspects of each sufferer's life, is caused by a variety of emotional factors and influences, and has profound effects on the people suffering and their loved ones.
Dieting is about losing a little bit of weight in a healthy way.
Eating Disorders are about trying to make your whole life better through food and eating (or lack of).
Dieting is about doing something healthy for yourself.
Eating Disorders are about seeking approval and acceptance from everyone through negative attention.
Dieting is about losing a bit of weight and doing it healthfully.
Eating Disorders are about how life won't be good until a bit (or a lot) of weight is lost, and there's no concern for what kind of damage you do to yourself to get there.
Dieting is about losing some weight in a healthy way so how you feel on the outside will match how good you already feel on the inside.
Eating Disorders are about being convinced that your whole self-esteem is hinged on what you weigh and how you look.
Dieting is about attempting to control your weight a bit better.
Eating Disorders are about attempting to control your life and emotions through food/lack of food -- and are a huge neon sign saying "look how out of control I really feel"
Dieting is about losing some weight.
Eating Disorders are about everything going on in life -- stress, coping, pain, anger, acceptance, validation, confusion, fear -- cleverly (or not so cleverly) hidden behind phrases like "I'm just on a diet".

Back home after church to eat a little lunch. In a little while, to leave to go visit Mom at the nursing home.

Snack: microwave pk lf popcorn, 1/2 cupful scuponong grapes 150
Today's est cals: 880
Afternoon Update:
YES! I know 880 cals for today is mighty low...but you should have seen the SHOW a little while ago...my trying on my skinny all-cotton, no-stretch size 8 jeans...what a hilarious show (NOT!!!!!!)...I can wear some of them comfy but the others are TITE!!!! :-( TIME FOR ACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to the grocery store and INSTEAD of buying my USUAL 960 cals chunk of hi-fat cheddar cheese, which I usually consume within a couple of days (THIS HAS BECOME A HABIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), I bought fatfree pkg. 30 cals each cheese. I also bought pkg. 25 cals 98% fatfree Oscar Myer bologna. I bought my usual diet bread, 40 cals/ piece (I'd been eating Hubby's hi-sugar 70 cals extra delicious bread). I didn't work this hard to get to goal to give it up! I am A FEW POUNDS over goal, around mid-140's. Which at this weight, I can still WEAR my skinny jeans, just not all of them COMFY! WHO WANTS TO WEAR SKINNY JEANS TITE???????????????? Not me!
I did visit Mom about an hour and a half. She was talking and smiling. She made another good friend there and I noticed Mom had given her friend a little of her costume jewelry, which her friend had on. A ring and a bracelet. I made mention of it and Mom told me. Mom and I both LOVE to do this. Give little gifts to others. It makes us happy. I get it honestly, hehehe! Mom has always been very freehearted and she taught me to be the same way. She loves giving with others.
............................................
Hope you're having a blessed day!

Hi Maria! Yes, evidently it gets hotter here in KY than SC and GA - at least today. I am not in the mountains. They are mostly in the eastern part of the state. There is some beautiful country there, and I like to go hike there and to state parks, but it's not a very good area to live in. No jobs, poor counties and low achieving schools. I live in Lexington. I-75 pretty much divides the state in half and if you were to make another horizontal line crossing I-75 Lexington is a little above the center line just barely to the east of I-75 (if that makes sense). It's like a big small town. You know I've invited you to KY before and the invitation still stands - if you ever want to come back and visit! On to diet matters - the bread I like is Nature's Own brand and they have a couple of varieties that have 50 cals each slice - the double fiber and some multi-grain or whole wheat type. I usually get one of the other and it's good. It's regular size and doesn't seem like "diet" bread. I don't like the Lifestyle 35 or some others I've tried. Our Walmart carries the Nature's Own. I need scuppernongs today!

moogy on 08/10/2010:
You are perfectly right Maria, it is 10.53 am Wednesday here as i am typing, amazing isn't it?
sweetpea1977 on 08/10/2010:
Glad to hear your mom is doing better. :)
If its a girl, we know exactly what her name will be. However, if its a boy, we'll have our work cut out for us. We know what his middle name will be, but we're stuck on coming up with a good first name to go with it. At any rate, we've decided to keep the names secret until the baby is born. :)
