Yeah, they're not all the time...and I don't take them everyday...just when needed, otherwise I'd be a strung out addict I was a drug counselor at a methadone clinic in December when I lost my job being so ill, so I'm pretty well versed on my drugs...I have my master's degree in social work and worked as a psychotropic medication auditor as well it's been better the last two days, I think I got dehydrated and depleted my sodium. Doing much better today with the exception of feeling absolutely defeated over the two pounds I seemed to magically gain overnight last night 

Oh Doug, I LOVE the Dixie Diner products, I just haven't been able to buy any this time around yet...friends you won't believe it. I just cried my eyes out this morning... I GAINED TWO pounds since yesterday!!! Off of what I posted below...I don't even know how that is humanly possible. I hate my body. I'm so upset...so angry. I don't understand. It's worse than being stalled. I've now gained 3 pounds this week going from 241 to 244 :\ and I don't have a clue why. No sugar alcohols, no hidden carbs, I've gone over it and over and over it. So upset. I just don't know what else to do or say. I'm not giving up, but I'm totally upset.

Hey there Faith! Welcome back! You are NOT alone...I too rejoined and am having to do my second round of FTS. I lost about 100 pounds in 2011 and gained all but 20 back!!! So I have to relose a MESS of FAT  I didn't do so well the first couple weeks back on, but the last week and a half I've done the program with no overeating or carb binging it's easiest if you just stick through those two weeks then having to start over again and again and again! You can do it...and there are so many more recipes on here now! I'm so proud of you for coming back...I personally know how hard it is! Hang in there, we can do this!

I have awesome blood pressure thank God and always have my spears show 1 carb for 3/4 of a spear...so I rounded up LOL. I'm so glad you are off your blood pressure meds!  That is awesome! Some days I do get hungry and could eat a lot if I don't watch it, but it's few and far between.

Yes ma'am thank you friend for the encouragement!

Thanks TOOSweet...I've never actually been a very hungry person, honestly. I have to force myself to eat a lot of times because well...I just don't get very hungry. I've always eaten off of cravings, not hunger. Plus I have a 4 year old and an 8 week old and my husband cannot cook at all (he actually burned down a house at 18 trying to cook) so I have to cook all his food and I guess I stay so busy eating just isn't that big of thing for me. I've had the black out, dizzy issues most of my life...they come and go. Doctor's have never found a cause. It got so bad in pregnancy they hospitalized and ran a bunch of crazy tests but nothing came back. I don't take many meds a day and yes they too make me terribly sick and burn my stomach...I have two prescriptions for that too, metropomaclomide (Reglan) and promethezane (phenergan) and Nexium, that's part of my stomach care...that and famotidine. I've been hospitalized with nausea and vomiting issues since I was 12 and I'm 28 now...no real causes other then a few things they've found here and there. SIGH. Maybe I'll eat two patties tonight since they are 0...but yeah, I just don't get hungry that much...however I CRAVE a lot. I made a decision today when I almost gave up that there is no sense in giving up, because that craving will ALWAYS be there, so there's never going to be a "last time" I eat all that crap...I just have to get over the fact that there will always be people who can eat what they want and not gain to obesity...and I can eat sensibly and be thin or I can eat myself to death...it's up to me. Well, personally I want to get into those pants of mine instead of getting into some cake

Okay...soooo Doug asked me post what I eat daily, your guess is right that I probably don't eat like I should, I don't eat very  much at all, but I just don't get hungry, and I keep weird hours so...I end up not eating too much. Today I have having a bad day, so what did I do? I ate 4 pickle spears for lunch (5 carbs) and then I had a 1/2 a cup of strawberries (3.5 carb) with 2 Tbspn Reddiwhip (1 carb) total so far 9.5 carbs. Dinner planned...depends on if I get hungry, but if I do it will be a Boca patty with cheese on top (0) carbs, the new ones are 0. I only drink water or almond milk unsweetened or metromint water now the pickles are unusual....I think I depleted my sodium levels on all the water pills and I was CRAVING pickles and pickle juice like an addict! I think that may be why I've been dizzy and feel like I'm blacking out...not to mention I also am on Norco, Soma, Amitryptaline (stomach issues) Nexium, and Robaxin.

Hey that's AWESOME! Thanks!
