That is astounding! Congratulations!! How many pants sizes does that correspond to?
Heheh well in my case not many since everything I own is elastic anyway but I am having a hard time keeping them up.
However…
Last weekend I had to end my relationship of eight years so I’ve not had a good week. I’m up two inches. Could be the cherry pies and donuts. Sigh.
I haven’t binged though. Just made a lot of poor food choices, and my financial situation will make it difficult to spend much on meat and the specialty products like Atkins bars. It’ll be Ramen and rice, the very worst things for me but I have to eat something. I don’t really know what will happen but I want to go back on plan as soon as I can afford it. My ex has left me in a very precarious situation. Details are in the “Loving an Addict” thread:
I’m sorry I didn’t see all these posts, and I honestly don’t even remember posting about the wreck! I was half out of my mind that day!~ It’s been really bad, like I said. There is an ICE hold and his bond is 7500 dollars so he’s not going anywhere. I can’t live like this anymore though. Don’t ever let anyone tell you living as an illegal immigrant or living with one is easy in this country. I don’t know what will happen to him. His family is in the southern region of Mexico and from what I hear they just dump you not far from the border. I hope he makes it to their area. If he does, at least there are people there who remember him as a child. Maybe they can help him. I just know I can’t. I have to think about myself and our daughter for now.
As for me, today I went out and applied for assistance and my brother has offered to babysit while I job hunt, at least until school starts on the 10th. It’ll be rough but I guess this is my life now and I’m not wasting another minute crying.
I came here to whine about how Paleo for me was a complete fail(eo)… Saw a dramatic return of some anxiety symptoms (and some new ones I hadn’t expected) in the first week, and even though I knew it could happen, I gave up on the challenge and have been doing about 60/40 paleo meals or not, which of course does nothing. I am maintaining but still want to lose 10-15 lbs more and tone. I am waffling about giving the challenge one last try.
Now, though… (that was actually the short version) I just want to congratulate many of you on your successes and send good thoughts to Rushgeekgirl. Best of luck to you and I know you don’t know me but from your posts I can tell you are strong and have a big heart.
