Total Weight Loss

ONEderland, Baby!!!

I have the best readers in the whole world!  First, Gwen pointed out that I'd had a heavy salt day and the gain was probably water.  I knew she was right the minute I read her comment.  It made a huge difference in my attitude the rest of the day.  

Then Jan, who I know in real life pointed out peanut M&M's have protein!!  I don't have any of those, but I do have peanuts, cocoa and stevia.  I think with that, and I little butter or coconut oil to bind it together I just might make it through this intense desire for CANDY, CANDY, CANDY!!!  

I was like a woman possessed last night.  It was a struggle to pull my mind away from something sweet and chocolatey.  First, I tried playing candy crush but I was on a board with chocolate spawners so that didn't work at all.  TV was out because of all of the food commercials.  Our DVD player decided to malfunction, so I was left with reading.  I have a good book but it is a little slow so my mind could wander.  Sigh.

Finally, I went to bed.  It was 10:00 so it wasn't like I went to bed at 8:30.  Anyway, I had a dream about Reese's miniatures!  There was some sort of contest to find the one in the blue wrapper and I had it.  I was going to win the prize.  I have no idea what the prize was and I don't remember ever collecting the prize in my dream.  Oh well.  

I woke up to the prize this morning.  I weigh 199.8.  It counts!  I was so shocked that I got off the scales and back on.  The second time I weighed, it was 199.6.  So, buoyed by that success, I weighed again.  This time 200.00.  I couldn't have that, so I weighed one last time.  It was 199.8 so I'm going with that.

  5. Hey Lori! It's the first time I'm commenting on your blog. I just wanted to say a few things. First, I COMPLETELY understand the cravings, they kill me everyday specially in the afternoon. I don't know if it will work for you but in my case I usually kill it having something sweet and sugar-free, like a sugar-free yogurt. I also dream a lot about food, I wake up scared because I dream I binged. That is no fun haha.

    Ok, about the scale: Congratulations! Never forget that even if you gain a little bit of weight, the most important thing is the bigger picture, besides there are many reasons to gain, the number on the scale is not always the best guide.

    Hugs,
    Pol

    PS: You're awesome, never forget that! :)

    1. Pol,
      Thanks for commenting. I always appreciate them and often learn something.

      I've had those dreams where I've eaten the wrong thing sometimes by accident and sometimes on purpose and then I start freaking out because I have to weigh. I am always so relieved to wake up and have it be a dream.
