I'm with Leslie, the quitting smoking is a HUGE achievement and to me outweighs (no pun intended) all the rest. Other positives are that you will be learning more skills, you get to go to FLA!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04864774007674979895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-44136747574192704592011-01-17T23:52:00.579-05:002011-01-17T23:52:00.579-05:00Ay yi yi yi!

Having a ...Yikes! Talk about your week from hell. <br /><br />Having a picky, weird eating man n the house when you are trying to do your thing is a huge obstacle. But you can overcome it. My husband won't eat veggies, except potatoes and sweet potatoes and corn and canned peas. No mushrooms, no garlic, yadda, yadda, yadda. What a pain n the butt. :P I just had to decide to leave him to his food and I would do mine. <br /><br />I rarely cook. And when I do, I make what he likes and make what I like. Or, I make my food, he makes his. My health, my weight loss is too important to get caught up in his crappy food habits. I just leave him to it. lolIce Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15044595481713357711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-57293111665331379082011-01-16T16:49:08.772-05:002011-01-16T16:49:08.772-05:00Okay - you have a lot of shit going on and a ton o...Okay - you have a lot of shit going on and a ton of stress. But you completely failed to mention one thing....You've stopped smoking!!!!!!!!That is a huge accomplishment - and probably a big factor in both your stress level and the weight gain. I know you've been eating crazy, but stopping smoking slows you're metabolism and obviously you're not able to get out and walk with the weather - though they showed a guy ice skating on a street in Atlanta on the news.<br /><br />Tammy, just remember to breathe. In and out - slowly and fully - both directions - whenever you feel the stress intensifying to crazy levels. How long since you weren't smoking some of the stress away?<br /><br />You're a sodium sensitive person like me - a lot of that weight will come off when you pick up the water again. And you're adding years to your life by not smoking...just slowly begin to deal with YOUR eating (let Dwayne fend for himself - he's a big boy), stay in the day, and stop worrying about a future over which you have no control. You're stronger than you know, and things will shift as you work on the the food, water, and consciously remembering to breathe. I love you!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401609334253676307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-26833797548886116422011-01-16T16:41:00.946-05:002011-01-16T16:41:00.946-05:00Life is what happens when you are busy making plan...Life is what happens when you are busy making plans. I can't remember who said it, but sometime it is so much more true than what anyone would like. <br /><br />Having a husband that seems to think any green vegetable needs to be fried or buried in cheese to not be toxic, I can hear you. I would say, off hand, you need to do the thing they say on the airplanes, take care of yourself first, then others. You make YOUR food, for YOU. Then if he wants a cheese soaked noodle with 2 oz. of jerky, you will have a GOOD dinner for you, and his won't be as tempting. (Husband here is a carb loader. I am getting him to understand that every element of dinner doesn't need coated in bread, or with bread as a side. Still working on the cheese aspect ratio, however.) I have been at this working with another person's diet for about 20 years at this point, and believe me, it's not easy, but it IS doable. Especially if you work it out. Literally figure out WHAT works. <br /><br />We'll get there. <br /><br />(Ok, my word was ISSUES. That's spooky.) <br /><br />CatCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085463730809297977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-30297981863840997462011-01-16T16:12:13.675-05:002011-01-16T16:12:13.675-05:00The first thing you need to do is figure out how t...The first thing you need to do is figure out how to allot your TIME..how much to business, to daily work, to sleep, to food prep, to exercise (you will need to eat well and exercise to have the health/energy to start a business, really), to boyfriend, to family.<br /><br />If you don't fprioritize the eating right and find your strategies, you will fail. It's that simple.<br /><br />Get BF involved. Let him know what your meals will look like for the week and how he can incorporate his. It may involve him doing take out for himself some days, or you simply ADDING stuff to his to make it suitable. So, if you both like shrimp this or chicken that, you can just give him more starch/veggies/a dessert, but you eat the basic, lower cal options.<br /><br />Hubby and I often now eat different meals (normally, breakfast and lunch, we do our thing). He loves red meat. I've cut back. So, he'll get some beef dish,l ike Cuban ropa vieja, and it's a big enough portion for THEE MEALS...so I can have my own protein, we might share veggies and fruit, he'll have the rice or potatoes, I'll opt inor out of the starch as needed, and he has ice cream while I'll have fruit or yogurt.<br /><br />If you can put the central food item as one you both can eat, then you just need to fiddle with your sides and leftovers (for lunch, hubby loves taking leftovers and not having to go out for lunch).<br /><br />Wishing you well as you focus on many things. But stop saying, "I'm stressed this, I'm stressed that." Say, "I am competent, capable, strong, organized, and I will get it done." Cause you will be a business woman very soon and you'll need to be focused on being organized and getting it all done with class. Do it. Do it!!!!<br /><br />And trust me, on days when I feel like a total flake-bomb, I have to tell myself "I'm a warrior woman. and I will conquer this." I can easily feel deflated and overstressed by things, so this is part of my handling food, learning to handle my reactions, which can be pretty ....not great.<br /><br />Anyway, have a great week and here's to a nice weigh in later....Princess Dieter aka Mirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121450857817115011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-91676109529585015772011-01-16T16:10:33.906-05:002011-01-16T16:10:33.906-05:00((hugs)) Tammy.

My heart races when i have to drive in snow.So sorry you had to go through that.<br /> And kudos for trying to get a grip on the eating. Coming from a food addict/mother/wife who has to fill up three very picky eaters,i know its tough to cook a separate meal for yourself but in the end you'll feel so much better by doing it! <br />I love that you always find the brighter side of anything life throws at you! You'll make it all work...i just know it =)<br /><br />oh and YUM on the shrimp po boys!!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05273396670553902739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-79840779387920744332011-01-16T15:17:07.721-05:002011-01-16T15:17:07.721-05:00Wow!

As for someone who is experienced in driving in the winter, there is nothing that you can do when you hit ice (I slide through a reed light the other day) but pray and maybe honk your horn repeatedly to let other know that you are headed their way.<br /><br />On the bright side, the boss has confidence in you that you are capable of handling all this work or he would not give it to you.<br /><br />I am so proud becaus ethrough all this you have not started smoking again, CONGRATULATIONS!
