Hey Jenn,

I'm back... that is a great idea about the laptop and take along dvd's.
Anyway, I survived the trip. My aunt and uncle prepared grilled veggies
for
me. They were pretty good. However, they did have a little bit of olive
oil on them. I didn't want to insult them by not eating them, as they
went
to all the trouble... so I just had a few pieces. I drank a shake while
they all ate birthday cake.

I worked out Friday before I left at Curves and took a long walk on
Sunday.
I will resume Curves again tomorrow.

Whew... nearly 700 posts to catch up on!!!


A little olive oil isn't going to kill you At least they were thinking
of you!

Hey Jenn,

He isn't worth getting so worked up over. Save the typing energy for
something more productive. Some people don't have the capability to
understand regardless of how many times and ways you explain something to
them....

I can relate to what you are going through and I know how difficult this
WOE
is. I know that you are very well informed about your body and health. I
hope to be as in touch with myself when I get to the place you are at.

Anyway, what do you think about OA (overeater's anonymous) to help deal
with
underlying food issues? This WOE is getting me where I want to go, but I
am
scared about transition. Do you think that you've been able to
successfully
and completely deal with the issues that caused you to be overweight? I
was
thinking of joining and wanted another opinion...

Anyway,

I've heard good things about OA but it depends on the area and the group.
Up here I heard it's a very negative place. Either way, it's not my cuppa.

I have not been able to *completely* deal with with the issues yet, but I'm
working on them. The nice thing is that I'm able to work through things
without damage. The refeed isn't easy but it gets easier. My friend at
work that just went through it a few weeks before I did said the same
thing - hard at first, gets easier. I'm really not having any problems
keeping within my caloric goals and the increase in protein (adding beans
each day) is really helping a lot. The water retention is getting to me,
but that was expected from day 1. Regardless, I'll be seeing another loss
tomorrow night.

You two got so upset when I told you to watch what you eat and your
weight very attentively...

I wonder why you got so upset... especially given your fairly bad
history of not watching what you eat.

So let me repeat it again. Watch what you put in yer mouth and watch
yer weight. Otherwise you will fail in your dieting.

If you had an eating disorder... Be vigilant.

Because I already do pay attention to my weight and I don't need you
*telling* me to do anything. You said not to take a two pound gain lightly
(your words). I don't have time to obsess over things that didn't exist in
the first place (explained in detail in other posts). You don't bother to
read what people say and have demonstrated that you don't know a whole lot
about dieting or nutrition let alone what's been posted about others
particular WOE's. You just assume we're all stupid or something. Your
final comments prove it. I do watch what I eat, apparently more than you do
since I log it *daily* and track the calories & carb/prot/fat levels. I am
not new to dieting and I know how to fail. You would know that if you could
read.

Maybe if you read the thread about weighing oneself you might pick up how
easily your level of vigilance turns into obsession for those of us who have
dealt with disorders. It's been told to you repeatedly (use Google) and yet
you still disregard anything but your own worthless advice.

I prefer my advice on diet and nutrition from people who understand the
process and give helpful recommendations (found aplenty here on ASD) or the
healthcare professionals I am working with rather than condescending edicts
from the comprehension impaired.

she plans to actually eat and drink through the day until 4PM weigh in)

Actually, of all fats, olive oil is one of the best. Enjoy a tiny bit of it;
Salud!

Hi Jenn,

Are you allowed to take OTC duiretics to help with water retention?

It was yummy.... I did feel a little queasy after I ate it, as I am not used
to eating fat. Hubby and I went for a long walk before dessert and I felt
better....

I have special dispensation from the physician because I drink more than a
gallon a day of water (plus decaf coffee, etc.). Otherwise - NO because you
could easily dehydrate yourself. I only do it when I'm uncomfortable and
since all of my new size 10s are getting so loose, a little water weight
isn't affecting me in that way. Only when I can't move my fingers
comfortably do I resort to that.
