Checking in - Week 14
Here it is, Tuesday, my weigh-in and accountability day. Fourteen weeks on
the diet and down to a new low - 228.3! This is the lowest I've weighed in about seven years. This past week has been rough, and even though I've lost each week the rate of loss has flattened out. One pound loss this week, roughly two pounds the week before, compared to the previous 12 week's average of 3 pounds per week. I'll admit I got lazy and fell back into some old habits, and for some reason I have been just ravenous lately. A contributing factor has been the weather. Early last week it was beautiful outside, warm and sunny, and I did a lot of yard work. Kept me out of the kitchen! For the past few days its been gloomy and I've had to stay indoors with the food. I'm weak. Ah, but this is a new week. New resolve, new opportunities. Back to the basics! -- Dewolla Stepon 268/228.3/199 154 at age 28 280 at age 53 |

Yard work seems to be something we've all been doing the past couple of weeks. It's a great way to get the exercise. Losing one pound is much better than gaining a poundg Congratulations! I'm sure getting back to the basics will get you back to where you want to be. Beverly |

Congrats on the new lowest. You can do this, maybe you can find
something to do inside to keep your hand busy and you out of the kitchen. You have done well so far, done give up. a 1 lb loss is better than a gain any day. Healthy weight loss is 1 to 2 lbs a week.

Thanks, all, for your lovely and caring encouragement. Couldn't go on
without your help! Michelle, I did do something today which took my mind off food - I visited an employment agency! It's been a little over a year since I was last employed, the company lost a major government contract and withered away. Anyhow, I think I need to be back in the job market so I made an appointment. My goodness, times have changed! I won't go into all the paperwork and other documentation they now go through, but I was amazed at a little 100-question quiz I was required to take. All multiple choice, and all having to do with drug usage, theft and rage! Questions like: When a coworker says something really degrading to you, would you hit him in the face: A. Never. B. Seldom. C. Often. D. All the time. In the past two years, not counting pads of paper and pens, how much value would you estimate you've stolen from your employer? A. Over $1000. B. Over $500. C. Over $250 D. Less than $250. How likely are you to come to work under the influence of drugs? A. Highly likely. B. Very likely. C. Likely. D. Not likely. Wow! Later, in the one-on-one interview, I was asked to describe myself. I made mention of the test and said "I'm a saint!" -- Dewolla Stepon 268/228.3/199 154 at age 28 280 at age 53 "Dewolla Stepon" wrote in message news:yw9hc.174794$K91.440037@attbi_s02...

Hi Dewolla,
I'm very proud of you. Keep up the great work. Don't despair, and eat veggies and fruit when the hunger hits you. You'll get over the bad food cravings if you just train yourself to eat the good foods often. Remember eat 5 times a day, smaller portions, healthier foods and your metabolism will purr like a kitten.

Surely anyone could tell what answer they were supposed to give! I'm sure anyone who would steal from their employer or hit fellow employees would have no compunction about lying on the test!
