Question:

I am starving myself to death. Starting tomorrow. No more Snickers No more Fruit Loops. No more Gator Aid. I am going to walk every stinking day until my legs are stumps. I am not happy with myself and I am going to go do something about it, if Ted brings any food in this house, he will be shot on the spot. That’s all. My scale is now in fifty nine pieces so this will be all done with the feel of my clothes. I refuse to step on a scale again. This weight has made me a recluse and I am fed UP. — TC3 Always take an emergency leisurely. Chinese Proverb

Response:

Cheryl, I feel your pain girlfriend!! Today I started the so-called Mayo Clinic Diet. I hear you lose weight really fast on it but it is pretty strict. And you have to eat yucky grapefruits at every meal. I have to make myself start walking also. Thirty minutes of speed walking each day, no excuses! Good luck with your weight loss and let me know how you are doing! Billy Idol’s girlfriend, Tami

Response:

Go get ‘em, TC3! I’ve dumped the junk food and started exercising. Dramatic results. The weight will fall off! My little secret. I keep a big salad (one of those premade ones in the bag) in the fridge. Whenever I feel like a food raid, I just grab the salad, look at it, and say to myself "If you are truly hungry, then you will want to eat this". Sometimes I do, sometimes I just put it back. Really makes me think about whether I’m truly hungry. Went to the doctors today, I’ve lost 2 pounds this week. Perfect! Mike

Tami, I wish you well~! I was thinking weight watchers but I don’t have the courage to do the meetings. So I am going to follow my ADA diet(diabetic diet) sob! Get a damn pancreas to eat myself silly then have to go back to a damn diabetic diet. MY problem is I don’t eat meals properly, I snack all of the time…on all the wrong stuff. I hate grapefruit! LOL I have to make myself start walking also. Thirty minutes of speed walking each day, no excuses!

LOL if I speedwalk I will have a coronary. I have weakness so it will be slow but at least I will be moving! Good luck with your weight loss and let me know how you are doing!

You too! I will keep in touch(email me privately if you like!) Billy Idol’s girlfriend,

Response:

Hey Mike~ That is a great idea…I love salad, in fact that is exactly what we are having for dinner..that and pork chops(blech)…I wish you the best, maybe we can start an ASAP diet group. I am going to do it, I got on the scale and cried for an hour after then proceeded to beat the shit out of it (poor thing, it wasn’t the scales fault!)LOL…All kidding aside, I am eating and not moving, I am sitting at home reading or hanging on here and it’s going to make me gain more. {{mike}} Cheryl — TC3 Always take an emergency leisurely.

Response:

hmmm cheryl. if you wanna do something about your weight, i’m all for ya, but do it healthily. don’t starve yourself. cut back. eat your nice happy meals, and when you say damn i want candy, tell yourself is it worth it? no. maybe chart what you’re eating and slowly cut back. that’s the healthiest way and it will show, i’m sure. take care of yourself – i can name you two – nay three good reasons: christa, ted, and your new organs. les. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I am starving myself to death.

HI Tami, Be careful with the grapefruit…… I found that my anxiety med is contraindicated with grapefruit/juice. During the course of that, I found that it doesn’t go well with a whole host of medicines. I was warned by a doc friend as well as by the PDR book in the drug interactions section. This may not apply to you at all but thought I’d offer it up, just in case :O) little bear

Response:

Response:

LOL!! Sorry Cheryl, but I can’t help it…the words "starting tomorrow" did it for me. I can picture you tonight stuffing yourself with Snickers, Fruit Loops, with Gator Aid to wash it all down. I mean, how else are you going to get rid of the stuff? Can’t just throw it away, God forbid! I’m guessing one week before you will kill Ted for a Snicker’s Bar. LOL!! And the temperature will get hot and sticky again and you’ll say "the hell with this"…and goodbye walking. hehehehe I’m only kidding (Not) and I wish you good luck on your new endeavor.

Response:

Hi, tami, I am with you and Cheryl all the way. No Excuses!!! smiles, elise

Response:

Cheryl, You sound totally fed up with the weight issue and I am joining you. Just got started today and I WILL lose at least 10 pounds by November 11th or else… I am going to watch all food intake (not starve myself and neither should you) and use free weights each night for at least 1/2 hour. We can help support each other if you want. And I agree, f*ck the scale – go by how the clothes fit… Partners in dieting. smiles, elise P.S. NO MORE Milky Ways for me (boy, I am already depressed)

Response:

Way to go, Mike! that sounds like 2 wonderful pounds. keep up the good work!!! smiles, elise

Response:

I am stuffing in as many Oreo’s my big mouth can hold, Rita! You should see me. I told Ted to take every cookie out of here tomorrow morning! He is worried we won’t have anything for the next football game~ You crack me up! The Gator Aid is done(swilled that before dinner)…no Snickers(ate the last one today) and the cookies will be on the way to work with Ted…LOL. Only things left are salad stuff, cheese and pop tarts… :o) Love Cheryl — TC3 Always take an emergency leisurely. Chinese Proverb

Okay, that is me, you, Tami and Mike. It’s official, the ASAP diet group. I have more than ten to lose but I can do it. Ted just kissed me goodnight and said, do I smell Oreos? LOL. No scale, only clothes and I won’t starve myself… I wouldn’t wish this on anyone but it’s nice to have partners. :o) I really didn’t believe in the prednisone "forty" as they call it…Yikes~sob, no more Snickers. I will pretend it’s a big bar of nutty shit. LOLLOL Thanks elyse, I will be probably moaning in a week how hungry I am. Love Cheryl — TC3 Always take an emergency leisurely.

Response:

Ah, Cheryl… We have quite a little chubbies club here on ASAP, don’t we? I also won’t step on a scale at home, but I had a physical at my doc’s last month and that was the moment of truth. Argh. My weight was about what I expected, actually. Like you, I can judge where my weight is by what size clothes I’m wearing and how I feel. When I was pregnant and had gestational diabetes, I had to go on the ADA (diabetic) diet for about 3-4 months. Let me tell you, that is pretty healthy eating. Since I had the usual preggo food cravings, it did drive me nuts to give up ice cream and lemonade. (It was summertime. Once a week, I treated myself to an Eskimo Pie sugar-free ice cream sandwich.) But two weeks after I gave birth to Kevin, I weighed 35 pounds less than I did when I got pregnant!!! (I only gained 9 lbs total during the pregnancy, so my body was essentially eating up all its fat stores to support me and baby.) Who ever thought getting pregnant would be the perfect weight-loss program?!? Since my maternal grandma (whose zaftig body type I have inherited, sigh) had adult-onset diabetes, and I had gestational diabetes, I’m at high risk for the adult onset (Type II) kind as well…. so I figure one way or another, I’ll be back on that diabetic diet sooner or later. It does work really, really well — I hope you will follow it so as to get the proper nutrition, and not simply starve or deprive yourself! Nothing dooms a diet like feeling deprived and punished. WE’RE WITH YOU CHERYL!!! As Nike ads say, "Just do it." (Now I should take that advice.) xxoo Anne —

Response:

Lorri,Donny and Anne, I was warned over and over that the pancreas tx patients tend to gain a lot, because of hormones, the prednisone and of course, the absence of sugar most of our lives…I said, NOOOOOO not me!!!!!! Well, one day the scale said one thing, the next month it said 10 more and on it went over the summer. Sitting on my rump, on this computer, on the deck with my book and I was trying on a t shirt that I don’t wear much and looked like Madonna pregnant with that half shirt she had on, I said, whoa!!!!!! Time to check out my weight, hopped on the scale and nearly cursed out every tile in the bathroom! The last appt the doc did say, "now you don’t want type II diabetes with that weight now do you? We would of wasted that pancreas.." So I am going to just go on my diabetic diet(it is good eating) and lose it…I am wearing my mom’s heavy clothes(she has lost a ton of weight since my step dad died) and I am just absolutely disgusted. I don’t go anywhere because of it, I missed a really neat get together with old nursing friends because of it…time to do something about it. Damn Remeron started the whole thing. One thing I have really noticed is the way people treat you when you are big…it’s amazing. I won’t go into it but it’s made me laugh out loud over the things people do for the gorgeous and skinny and won’t do for us others. I am off to shower and go to my moms for a walk…I like taking the mutt out so it keeps me going…as long as she doesn’t take a dumper…gag. Well, yes Anne, we have a group here so it will be good to have the support. I checked out the dieting ng’s and one had quite a flame war going on and I thought, who needs that losing weight! LOL…So I will just come here when I need to vent or tell you of my success! Just do it! xoxxo to all of you who responded. Love Cheryl Anne, I did lose 40 pounds right after Christa! It was a perfect weight loss program and the stress of her in the Nicu also contributed to it. — TC3 Always take an emergency leisurely. Chinese Proverb
