Christmas!!!!!!!! URGH!!!!!!!
Dec 11, 2009
Ohh this year really sucks for everyone! This year here has been especially hard. Clyde has been laid off of driving semi since May from GM. He can work part time only when they call him!! We have no money for the kids' Christmas this year. We have been paying bills when we get our checks from school (what is left over from grants and loans). The last check we got was back in June. We paid our bills a few months in advance. We were supposed to get another check back in Oct but something happened at the school and we are not getting one still. We don't know when we are getting one. I know it still will not be for another 9 weeks! How awful is that!!
This year we had to sign up for a Christmas basket for help for Christmas for the boys. Well we just moved and becuase we moved into a different county, we are no longer eligible for the basket from the previous county. This county when I went to go sign up said I was a week too late to sign up. Now we have no way of getting the kids presents this year!!
I have done lost everything we had to pawn shops and selling what we had when Clyde was first laid off. Now I really don't know what we are going to do. I guess this year is going to be no presents for the kids. How are they going to handle that?? They are only 11 and 8!
I really wished I could do something for them. I can't imagine how they are going to feel like. This is killing me and breaking my heart so bad!! I really wish I could work so that way I could make some money so that way they could have a Christmas...
If there is anyone out there who lives close to me who might have some work that I might be able to do, please let me know. I will do what I can to make some money so my kids might have a Christmas this year!!!

Went to the dietician today
Nov 17, 2009
I went to the dietician today. I found out I lost 3 1/2 lbs. 
It is not a lot, but it is better than gaining. I was so worried tho that when I went in that I was going to have gained weight because of how many times I had really messed up. I am just glad that what I did do, managed to outweigh all the times I messed up.
My dietician helped me a lot today. Last time I seen her, she was not much help. That was because that was the first time I seen her. I know now that I need to eat protein first and veggies first. She said that would help me to fill up and it would help my metablolism speed up. I am a huge pasta and bread person. I have been trying to avoid them completely. But here lately I have been craving them so bad. She said I do not have to avoid them right now, just limit how much I eat of them. Then she said I can try to eat multi-grain or wheat pasta. Or to mix those pastas with regular so that way it would help to fill me up and also give me more fiber. Then she said to make sure I get protein with it, so make like a chicken breast and a salad with it and there would be my protein and my veggies. Then eat my protein and veggies before and if I don't eat them all before the pasta, just make sure to eat some of it before.
She also said it would be good to go on an 1800 calorie diet. I was trying to do 1500 but it seemed as if I was always hungry. She also told me that part of the reason why I am always hungry is I could be thirsty. She said becuase I am not drinking anymore while I eat, it could be confusing my body to thinking I am hungry. So she said when I feel hungry, drink some to see if it helps.
Well, here is to the beginning of the 2nd part of my journey.
I hope this is much better than the first part!!

Ok, today has been rough. Does anyone have any ideas where to go to get some ideas for low calorie food that a lot can be eaten. I am so hungry all the time and I just don't know how to take care of it. I used to eat only once a day and the dietician told me that I need to work on eating more often. I have been doing this, and now it seems like I am hungry all the time.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to stop me from eating? There are times I catch myself eating when I am not even hungry. When I catch myself I stop.
I know many people won't read this. And to the people who do, I am sorry for all the negatives. I just don't really have a support system at home and I need somewhere to turn.

Uurgh!! Bad last couple of days!
Oct 30, 2009
I have had a bad last couple of days. I have been trying to count my calories and stuff. But then there are times that I just can't help myself from eating even though I know I am not supposed to. My husband decided he was going to take us all out for dinner. This is something he does not really do that often. I figured I would watch what I ate and try to make healier choices. Well, he took us to an all-you-can-eat pizza buffett. I was like OMG! Pizza is my favorite food and on top of that, he brought us to a buffett. So I ate. Normally I would eat until I could not hardly breathe and have 5 or 6 glasses of Cherry Coke or Fanta Orange pop.
Well, this time what I did was made me a huge plate of salad.... yeah salad.. I put just a pinch of cheese on it, few crutons, and about 1/2 teaspoon of bacon bits. Then I used a low calorie ranch dressing. Then I also had 2 pieces of pizza (It's called Baked Potato Pizza), which has low calorie rance dressing, cheese, and about 1 1/2 slices of potatoes and about 5 pieces or so of bacon bits. Then I had about 1 1/2 cups of mustacholli with alfredo sauce and a breadstick. Then I had 1 glass of fruit punch and 1 glass of water. Normally when I eat, I would blow all this I ate away. I would nornally get about 4 pieces of the baked potato pizza 4 slices of cheese pizza (with alfredo sause instead of pizza sauce) and about 3-4 heaping plates of mustocholli loaded with alfredo sauce. So, I did quite well and I was actually real full when I left. I had remembered to take small bites I tried not to drink when I ate. I drank a glass of water before I ate, then I made my plate, then I ate while drinking about 1/2 of my juice, ate more then finished my juice. I have no idea though how many calories I actually ate. Which makes me feel real guilty.
Yesterday, I had 1 piece of toast and a small bowl of oatmeat and about 2 tablespoons of corn beef hash for breakfast. Then my husband comes home from going to Pennsylvania and brings me 2 chili cheese dogs (from a place I love) and he brought me home 2 pounds of cashews! Cahews are one of my favorie nuts!! So that was what I ate for lunch minus the cashews. I put them up so I would not be tempted. Then we took the kids out trick or treating and the town had hot dogs, chips, apple cider, and glazed donuts. I ate 1 hot dog, 1/2 of a glazed donut, a smallhandful of chips and 1 small glass of apple cider. Then I ate about 1/4 1/2 cup of cashews for a snack.
Today was the real killer for me though. I was not hungry and I went into Wal-Mart to get some things for me to snack on that would not be so bad for me. I bought me a couple apples, 4 green peppers, a box of 60 calorie a bag snacks, V-8 light, and some V-8 light strawberry banana drinks. I also got me some cottage cheese. Then this is where I messed up, I began to get hungry while I was in Dollar General. I bought me a candy bar (a big one) and a bag of Bugles. I figured I would eat me a handful of bugles on the way home to tide me over until then. I wound up eating the whole darn bag. That had 1040 calories in it!!!
So then I ate some cottage cheese also, it has 220 calories. Then I drank an 8 oz. cup of V-8 which has 50 calories. I have almost all my calories ate for the whole day already. I do not want anything else right now, but I am just so disgusted with myself that I did not have the self control.
I have never done this before, going on a diet like this. The self control is real hard because I have the temptaion all the time. I think for dinner I might just have me some green peppers and some V-8 strawberry drink. I have also been not trying to cook because I am afraid that if I do, I will eat like normal. Myhusband and kids are not too happy with that either. I just don't know what else or how else to do this. I am pretty much doing it on my own with very little support. I have an appt with the dietician on 11-09-09 and hopefully she may be able to help me some more.

Today... Oct 23, 2009
Today is the first day after seeing the surgeon for the first time. He told me that I have to lose 40 lbs and stop smoking for a month before he will do the surgery. It kinda really sucks though because I think if I could lose the 40 lbs I should be able to lose the 200 lbs I would like to lose. It just may take longer to get it accomplished. Then there is always the chance of not keeping the weight off and getting back to where I am.
I don't know how I am going to start this diet and exercise. I have a TKO Ab Rocker Fitness Trainer Crunch Machine. I tried it for the first time today and it is real real hard for me. I do not like it. However, my husband has one of the exercise balls. This ball is huge. It is not meant for my weight though. So I used it. I only did one exercise that was listed though. It was one where I would not use all of my weight on it. I put my heels up on the ball and then had to tighten my butt and lift my middle section in order to line myself up straight. I did it though. I had to hold it for like 5 seconds and do it 15 different times. I did all of them!! This is a huge thing for me to do! My head is hurting though. I think it is from lack of oxygen. lol
When I was done with them I sat up and boy the first thing that happened was I got a charlie horse in my butt.
So then I laid down on my side and tried to rub it myself. I asked my husband to do it, but he was too busy being on the computer. 
I was really hoping he would help me. I took some tylenol to try to help my head and then I got my neck messager and put it on high on my neck. It is still hurting as I am typing this all up.
So anyways, I am in a depressed mood about this whole having to lose weight thing, but then again, I want this and need this so bad that I am going to do whatever I have to do to get it done.
I tried to count my calories today. I am going to try to stay within a 1800 calorie diet. Today I had potato soup and crackers for lucnh. The potato soup was 200 calories and the crackers turned out to be about 600 calories. I did not realize how many were in them.
I did not check them until after I was done eating. I am new to this, so I did not even think about it until afterwards. Then for dinner I had some cottage cheese which was 200 calories, some jello which was 50 calories because it had some whipped cream in it. Then I had 2 apples which was about 150 calories because I ate 2 big apples and a tomato which was about 11 calories and then I had a half of a banana which was about 47 calories. Then for a snack I had about 2 handfuls of Kettle corn popcorn which was about 43 calories. So total calories for today was about 1301 calorues. Oh then I had a glass of tea, the servings were for 2 servings tho, and that was 120 calories. Then I have had about 2 gallons of water.
Total calories for today: 1501 I did it. I am a little hungry now so I am thinking about going to go get a yogurt. I do not have the package on their now to tell the calories, so I will have to look that up online....
Ok even if I get a yogurt at 120 calories I will still be under the calorie limit.
Is there such a thing as not enough calories eaten in a day?? Have to look that up too!!
