Excuse me, John In Illinois!!!!!

[Kelsie]

Hamburgers and ICE CREAM??

What's up with that and what are you going to do about it??


(nothing like public humiliation to jump start your morning huh?? )

(ps, just trying to get my PM Buddy back to the WISH Board )

 

[John In Illinois]

LMAO!

Could someone please explain to Ms. Kelsie that the concept of a PM Buddy is a PRIVATE Message Buddy???



Tell her something in confidence and............sheesh!! LOL

OK, here's the deal. As I have approached my Goal, I decided that approximately once a week I would allow myself to have one "treat", or "normal" food.

This weekend, I chose to have a Cheeseburger WITH a real bun on the Holiday. Well, it became TWO cheeseburgers. And then the next day, I allowed a soft-serve ice cream cone to pass my lips as well!

NO MORE!!

The insanity stops!

I gained 4 pounds from this weekend (besides the off-plan stuff, I ate "on-plan" like it was going out of style).

Back on the wagon for me.


I now return you to reading about things NOT divulged in my PM's <-does anyone truly believe I could be mad at Kels???

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh I am playing this one for sympathy from her, don't let on that I can't be mad at her. (mums the word)

John you are so close to goal and we are all so proud of you. I think Kelsie just wanted to get some support rallied up for you so you don't loose total control while inching ever so close to GOAL. I think you are awesome for standing by atkins so stickly for so long. I really admire all of you who can do that diet like that esp with the success that you have had. I could'nt imagine not atleast tasting of a hamburger or bread with out guilt. You are stronger than i. Maintaince will be a challenge for all of us lucky enough to get that close. I agree with what Dan is doing and i think i may go that route once my day has arrived. I will try to loose a few cushion lbs under my GOAL and then weight daily and montior my intake until i'm comfortable with what i'm eating and maintaining at. If that made any sense to you. There are also other boards that have maintance forums such at www.dwlz.com that you may could lurk on and grab some ideas of what works for others. They all do ww on that site for the most part but i've gotten great info over there. I wish you all the success in the world John you have worked so hard.

 

[KathyTX]

Y'all are being way too easy on John.

TWO Cheeseburgers!!!?

Wow! Some weekend!

(Said with a chuckle by the woman who ate three humongous warm Chocolate Volcano cakes with whipped cream in one week!)

 

[PartyofSix]

Oh this thread could get ugly.LOL THREE Kathy! You only mentioned you had the cake but THREE!!!!!!!!! OH okay i'll admit my weight gain this vacation was to due highly carb'd drinks i'm sure of it. Even though i had way to many! Oh yeah and just for the record i ate at Bubba Gump's Seafood Factory and had there FRIED hushpup with fish, lobster, rice and corn in it. WELL THERE now! I guess we are all even now.

 

[glo]

Hey John!!! You are not alone...I had a number 1 meal at McDonald's fr the first time in about 8 months...and a come at the Ben and Jerry's at the mall...managed to still loose .5 this week somehow, but now looking back, I might have made goal had I been good. You have done so awesome....you deserve a splurge here and there

 

[KathyTX]

Fried Hushpuppies!!! Tammy!!!

And yes, I had the chocolate volcano thing three times. But those were three SEPARATE occasions, three different nights. (I'm not telling what I had for dessert the other nights that week. I'm especially not telling about the night I couldn't decide between two desserts, so the waiter brought me both the Creme Brulee AND the Crepes Suzette. Nope, not talking about that at all.)

Sounds like John had his two cheeseburgers at one meal. That's got to be worse than what I did! Doesn't it?

(John, were the cheeseburgers yummy?)

Oh Please!! Turn it on me! You need to take responsibility for YOUR actions buddy!! You're the one who gained 4 pounds!! And don't forget, you have all those new clothes for WDW! Now, knock it off!!

 

[mowsie dreamer]

ROFL-Sheesh, this thread is becoming True Confessions! Cheeseburgers, Chocolate Volcanoes, Fried Hushpuppies, McDonald's!!!

And then I look at your clippies---55 lbs, 40 lbs, 60 lbs, 25 lbs!!! You are all certainly doing something right!!!

 

[John In Illinois]

MAN!!!

A guy can't even deflect ANY personal responsibility onto his PM Buddy nowadays!!



LOL

I am taking responsibility for my actions, and this has re-inforced my resolve to lose a small "cushion" for my WDW trip.

(Happy now Ms Smartypants)????

 

[TigH]

Oh my goodness, I don't know who is worse in this case. Kelsie for busting John with his private confession or John for having the TWO cheeseburgers and then soft serve ice cream! Of course, I am totally for the whole "once a week cheat meal" so I can't say much to John (especially with that high rollers clippie he has going on there!)

You two kids better play nice! If Kath was here, she would send you to your rooms...and bop you too!

 

[karebear1]

May I just say....

[COLOR-red]I'M SHOCKED !!!!!!!!!!!![/COLOR]

And my lips are sealed.... it's a good thing they can't read my mind to know what I ate!

 

[lmhall2000]

I really do have to crack up when I see all these HUGE LOSER clippies- by golly y'all DESERVE a Cheeseburger & a Volcano Cake! And Mowsie Dreamer- look at you- all those days Cheat free and you were still brave enough to check out this thread? Just reading these makes me feel bloated!

And for John- I never knew it was Private Message- I thought it was Personal Message- thanks for clearing that up- I guess it helps to read sometimes! And Tammy - come on- you know those high carb drinks this weekend will melt off you like butter! You are a losing magnate!

Okay in the midst of all this banter I'll sneak in my confession- I had done GREAT eating the day after the 4th- and came home to a basket full of homemade brownies from a friend who wanted to thank me for some furniture we gave her, not knowing I was dieting- well I didn't even think twice- I plopped a big fat brownie and ate it before I could think of spitting it out. And everytime my kids asked if they could have another one- I said "SURE!" My husband says, "Tara, they've already had 2 a piece"- I said, "Yeah, but they burn it off alot faster and if they eat them all tonight I won't have one tomorrow." So I selfishly let my kids stuff themselves with 3 brownies a piece!! Then when we returned that night from errands- our dog had jumped up on the counter and finished the rest of them. Do I think "oh, no poor doggie- chocolate is poisonous to dogs" No I think "Hallelujah- the brownies are GONE!!!"

I can't wait to reach goal and turn into a normal person again!
Tara

 

[elisebutt]

Why don't we just turn this into a 'Forgive me Wishers, for I have sinned' thread??

I must admit to treating myself after weighing, if I have lost the required 2lbs for the week, then I have something definitely off-plan.
2 weeks ago I had an onion bagel slathered in cream cheese and loads of smoked salmon - must keep up those fatty omega oils from fish.

Last week I was walking past a new Cornish cafe in town and what could I smell??? Freshly made Cornish Pasties with steak, vegetables or cheese and onion - urgh!!! My mouth and nose led me in there to scarf down nearly a whole one - I did leave most of the pastry though as it just felt way too heavy in my tum.

And rarely do I go to MacDs without pinching the odd fry or 2 from the kids.

But c'mon, I've been on induction for over 3 months now!!!! We all have to slip sometimes. It's compulsory isn't it??
