I hope you are feeling better! Enjoy your time in the US with Mr. Debbie, and looking for to future posts.
Feel Better, Debbie!
I never realized how much being sick (bad cold) makes me want to eat. I have dropped my eating "carefully" guidelines for now; I have gone into survival mode as I lie in bed. Thank God for Advil Liqui-Gels!

Great job on size 10 pants! I will definitely do a little jig when I get to that point!
WOOHOO on SIZE 10 pants! Way to go!!! I have never heard that mother/guilt trip quote before...hilarious. Enjoy 30DS!
Yay for size 10 pants! And, buy the way, your binge sounds pretty healthy as far a binges go.
This post made me do a little happy dance for you too! Even the part about the "binge" because (a) it shows you are human and (b) if that's "bad" then you have nothing to worry about. A "binge" now and again like that is not going to derail your eff…
I suspect that there is many a mother who runs a guilt trip travel agency. I have been having to remind myself lately that it isn't that I don't have control, it is that I chose to give up control, so I have a choice. Shut up and accept the fact tha…
The last time I was in a Target dressing room was in August, where I was desperately searching for something, anything to fit. I was horrified at my rear-view; the fat rolls drooped from my arms and back and butt, and everything. Size 16 barely fit.…
We seem to have had some similar experiences this week! I haven't traveled around the world, but I did fly from east to west coasts and the bingey behavior came out full force...hoping to nix it in the bud tomorrow with a 5 mile run in the AM! (Also…
Florida! Oh, how I would love to be in Florida!
Looking forward to hearing about great successes in warm and sunny Florida.
Welcome Home!! And I love Target, too. I am working on remembering that what I FEEL like I after eating something is just as important, if not moreso than, what it tastes like. Good luck with your mom!
That is an awesome mantra!! So much better than the one I used to have which was simply "I want to be thinner." My new one is similar to yours: "I want to be healthy. I want to treat my body well!" It's so much of a better way to live. Hope you have…
I hope you enjoy your trip! I'm glad to hear you made it safely. Be careful with that knee, sounds painful!

"Feed a Cold..." (?lbs-more than when I arrived)
I never realized how much being sick (bad cold) makes me want to eat. I have dropped my eating "carefully" guidelines for now; I have gone into survival mode as I lie in bed. Thank God for Advil Liqui-Gels!
The place across the street sells homemade giant cinnamon buns. No sense in lying...it was fresh-out-of-the-oven delicious.
My parents are taking off for another area of Florida this afternoon, and Mr. Debbie flies in from Chicago at 4:30. Then I'll really be able to lie down and take it ea… Continue

Two Steps Forward, One Step Back (?lbs)
The last time I was in a Target dressing room was in August, where I was desperately searching for something, anything to fit. I was horrified at my rear-view; the fat rolls drooped from my arms and back and butt, and everything. Size 16 barely fit.
Yesterday, I was feeling lucky and brought in a pair of size 10 pants to try. They looked small to me, really small, but I wanted to see where I am now size-wise. I have not tried on ANY clothes in a store since that last awful day in August.… Continue

Binge Trip/Getting A Grip (? lbs; my pants still fit)
In a nutshell, this is my trip so far:
-travelling by myself (Mr. Debbie is flying next week) with two small children halfway around the world brings out some binge-y behaviour. Luckily, we got to fly business class, so the food I ate was actually enjoyable. Even the salad!
-being tired from travelling for over 24 hours also brings out my appetite.
-getting settled into a condo close to the beach in 80 F weather after going to SuperTarget makes me very happy. I could put away the appetite again.… Continue

Packing and Planning (170 lbs- thank you sodium)
Oh dear.
The past few days have not been easy. I alternate between feeling relatively okay, and then really sad. I know it was Goober's time to go, but I absolutely hated being the catalyst of his demise. I'm not even sure if they did it in the most humane way possible; I feel as though I betrayed his incredible trust. I was his "mom", and I caused his death. The guilt is incredible. *sigh* It will take a while to get through this....
In the midst of all of this, I've been packing to go to Flo… Continue

Ms. Puse said… - Debbie - I just read through your posts and wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed reading them. And, I really relate to a lot of what you have written. I'm really trying to find that inner strength to stay on the "straight and narrow" eating path. Thank you for helping me see a bit of myself in your struggles. And, thank you for helping me see that there are alternatives to resolving the struggles! Congratulations on your hard work! And, keep up with your marathon dream!!!

Erin P. said… - I hope one day you too find these magical pants! And I just checked the receipt...I was wrong. They were $2.93. I think that is just UNREAL! Thanks for your kind words!

- Yes, it is Sugar Free Red Bull. It only has 10 calories and I have been drinking it most mornings for a couple of years. Used to be just something I had occasionally especially the mornings I would run a race. I put way too much stuff in coffee or drink Starbucks fun drinks - even the No fat versions have so many calories. Anyway, I figure all of the artificial stuff has to bad and it is expensive. This week I have downgraded to diet coke. It is my only soda for the day. I know it still has junk in it but not as much and it is cheaper.

- I have gone from being a full time smoker to an occasional smoker when drinking and stressed, that's what I'm trying to cut out. And on my No Excuses blog post I wrote about how much I've been drinking lately, I am trying to cut back significantly. For me to slowly drink 1 beer vs. the 4 I would normally consume is a big accomplishment. :)

- I think it's clever you always put your weight in the titles of your blog posts. I think I should do that on every email I write outside this blog. That would be incentive like crazy to get this under control!

- Debbie, thanks for your comment. I stopped posting after my first post because I actually kept a blog on wordpress for a while as kind of like a diary. My boyfriend recently saw the link when he was at my place, so I've deleted it because I'm not comfortable with him reading my personal thoughts. =( I will start posting on blogtolose instead.
I managed to maintain normal eating for about 2 weeks but I broke down again... I feel like I'm stuck in a hole. How are you doing?

- Thank you for the comment Debbie. It was hard and the funny thing is I had to go to a party after I took the picture and got so frustrated with clothes...it is a slow process. But I am still proud I took the picture. I appreciate you.

- I wouldn't say that I'm bothered by running outside, but I am having a hard time getting used to running outside because I'm a treadmill girl. :) I'm getting better at it though! It's just a change for me. I actually enjoy the sceanery and the air MUCH better outside. :p
