Hermi, if moderation is the key, then half a cookie is way better than the entire cookie jar, in my book. Cookies aren't my weakness but flaky wafers are and I can't imagine just having half of one. I go through an entire package. So good for you! Still doing great in my book.

Today I had four pieces of California roll sushi for breakfast (yes, breakfast, my coworker said "ew," but it's what I wanted) I had green tea and later an apple. Now I'm going to have two eggs for dinner. (onward with the scarce diet.) I am not exercising though, must step that up. But I'm steadily losing a bit of weight each day. Good job girls! I intend on being in a bikini next summer and not making the lifeguards ralph!

Bigdog* would definitely eat sushi for breakfast. Or more likely, sashimi, without the rice. But that amount of rice is not going to hurt you, especially at breakfast, and will give you a fuller feeling than just sashimi. *the new Bigdog; the old Bigdog would have leftover pizza.

I have to say NY, your description of your diet scares me. I follow a "pro-anorexia" site (not because I'm anorexic, but because I'm trying to understand the disease better by seeing how they are when they feel like they can be outward with their condition), and this "diet" is something very similar to what they would eat in a day. It's past restricting and definitely not getting you the nutrients you need to survive. That's one of the reasons why you're having such a hard time working out. Anyway, I hope you don't get upset with me for saying this, but I'm just scared for you is all.

Making some positive steps here folks... For the past couple of days I'm back to eating fruit salad mixed with 1% cottage cheese for brunch, dessert, and snacks. (Of course I haven't dropped the bad stuff yet, pudding, chocolate bars, etc. But I feel I'm on my way...) And at least I am getting some delicious, healthy stuff into me.

Neko, I'm afraid I'd agree. Lowering the metabolism and sending starvation signals is not going to produce the results hoped for, not for any sustainable period of time anyway

Thanks folks, I know it's severe. I'm trying to retrain my tummy to get by on less. Yeah, I don't really eat much overall. I promise to up the food intake when I get a handle on my appetite! Yesterday I almost caved and got a slice of pizza, but the pizza guy told me it looked like I'd lost so much wieght that I turned around, came home, and ate a salad instead! Here's to positive reinforcement. I've been going through some stressful times and will try to lead a more balanced life regarding diet and exercise.

Saw the doc today, he says even thought the bronchitis is pretty much gone, I'm STILL sick (my lungs/chest still hurt) and I've gained back the pound I lost in early August. Was 163 on August 10, and 164 today, Sept. 12. Good thing I stocked up on fruit and cottage cheese! No more pudding or chocolate bars for me.

1 lb in 1 mo isnt bad. Hope you feel better soon and when you are you will lose that and more!

Aw thanks Pamy. I sure hope so! This is going to sound nutty, but I was kinda relieved when he told me it's not unexpected that I am still sick and to have patience while it completely runs its course, cuz I was getting very depressed thinking I should have bounced back by now and blaming the Fibro, which makes me take longer to recuperate than most folks. But he said this is normal for bronchitis. Whoo hoo, me normal. LOL.

Oh I forgot to say, that I'm starting back on Synthroid for my thryroid, tomorrow and the pharmacist said that I should start to see some weight loss in the next 2-4 weeks due to feeling more energetic. (I'll believe it when I see it!) I'm also starting to take vitamin B12 which is supposed to be good for Fibro-fog, memory and stress, I think. Plus I'll be taking tums for the calcium. (And I have to take Singulair til my chest/lungs feels better.) I had enough trouble remembering to take the danged anti-biotics this past week, now I have to remember FOUR meds? (Luckily the Singulair is short-term, so it's really only 3 meds.) Uh, I'm guessing some of this should be posted in the Fibro area... sorry.

I think that is probably a good thing, Pamy. That peri-menopause was whacking the hell out of you, just like it whacked the hell out of me, and I was stupid not to get help sooner. Plus I was having to jump through doors with guns drawn serving search warrants when all that shit was going on. Oy vey.

oh I was! was mumbling the F word, B word at the receptionist that said they were only 20 min behind and I had been in there for 40 min already. I hate to wait! I only have 2 Fris off a month and schedule most DR appts then so I hate wasting hrs there, plus it was looking like I was going to miss my aerobics class. My Dentist knows how I feel and if they are even running 5 min behind the receptionist will call and let me know. I love her

Pamydoll, glad that you've got your dentist and his receptionist trained well. Grin. BTW, one of my pals also has every other Friday off, so we get together occasionally and go to the spa for 'girl's day out'. Wanna come?
