Wow, come to think of it.....I am hungry now hahahaha. Nah, it's getting close to dinner so it's ok.

Well Stacey, all we can do is try, right? I did ok today, but tonite is kinda creeping in. I can honestly say I have not really binged this week, but just made some not so healthy choices. I do feel I had more op days than not. Thanks for the support. I am hoping to be back up at full speed by Monday.

Well, I am still here but avoided the site for about four days. No bingeing yesterday and today. I started walking a little bit. Enough of being miserable. I decided to fake "happy" and find positive things every day. Let's all hold hands and sing happy songs. LOL

So what is positive today? I worked out with a trainer and walked 20 minutes. I cleaned the house and did some laundry. Going to the concert tonight. Want to be fit and lean again. Don't hate food anymore but enjoyed veggies and borscht.

Decided to be a better buddy and provide more support to the ladies on this thread. Oh, and I am doing belly dance again! It's a lot of fun and not too much pain in the knees.

There is one negative fact that I don't know how to deal with. The physical therapist told me that, "my knees are shot." No stairs, hills, knee pushups, weight machines for quads, etc.. More limitations in exercising and more limitations in living in the world. I am trying to find something positive about it and I can't. I'll try better.

I do love this, "fake happy" I think this is what I will do, too. My attitude affect everything. Thanks, Tatiana.
As far as your knees, Do you know Mark, the trainer on here? I bet he could advise you on some safe exercises you could do. I know it is hard, we are here for you.

As for me, doing mostly ok. I want to restart my "No binge days" tomorrow. Was kinda off this weekend.

That's how I started losing weight was faking wanting to lose weight, faking being motivated, and faking being happy. It works! I am so used to feeling miserable but when I fake feeling motivated, I can actually become so motivated I end up being a motivational beam and I have seen it become contagious! Even if you don't feel it, speak it as you do, it works!

I totally understand the shot knee thing! Everyday I come home without swollen knees, I think it's a blessing! It's pretty hard to work out an not use your knees unless you swim! Hang in there Tatiana!

Amen to that. Dad used to say "Fake it till you make it" I does work!

I am like that too, Annia. I had a blow out last nite. This cycle has to stop some where.

Ok ladies, I need a kick in the butt. My eating has gone way out of bounds and I feel sick. Anyone know how to put the breaks on??

Kama, I just returned from Florida yesterday, and I did my typical travel day of eating waaaaaaaaay too much so I have the triple threat going on today - bloated from eating too much crap, bloated from flying, and bloated because I'm due to start my period Wed.

How do you stop?? You just make your mind up to use the self-control inside of you. I think you're a Christian so I'll tell you that I also ask God for help. I have learned over the years to ask for help, but God expects me to do what I can do for myself, and He will do what I can't.

Today, I am doing the next right thing. I worked out, and I will eat about 1300 cal. Also, that whole faking it thing. I call it 'acting as if' Act as if you feel good. Act as if you are the weight you want to be. Act as if you are on top of the ball instead of underneath.

I know I'll feel better by Friday, but in the meantime, I'm going to act as if I feel better now.
