I've been ordering takeout too freakin' much now that I got into GrubHub almost daily for the past 2 weeks. It's too much when I'm seeing the same driver again the very next day for the same order. I feel slightly embarrassed and it's pushing me to stop the app ordering. Does anyone else use these food ordering apps?

I had a shitty weekend. I didn't even realize HOW shitty until I had to get up and get ready for work today. Had to work more hours Friday than I'm used to. Booster shot Saturday morning. Asked to babysit my FAVORITE human on planet earth Saturday night and had to say no. Because the last shots made me sick and the pharmacist said this one probably would too. And it did. Couldn't get out of bed, didn't get to see my grandbaby, fever and pain. And on top of everything, I didn't get my house clean this weekend. So this morning I got to look at filthy carpets and bathrooms. And I still don't feel well. My arm is killing me. My head hurts. I miss my grandbaby. I just want to cry.

Finally up to 125lbs. I'll take it. Even if it is just because I ate enough salty food to make me feel sick yesterday. Probably will drift back down a bit over the next few days but I'll take it. I dunno why, but seeing that number on the scale just makes me feel more like myself. 125 has been my 'low end' of the scale since I was 25 years old. (I'm nearly 50 now) 135 was my average but I can't even imagine how much I'd have to eat to get there again.

Have you done anything other than post about it here? Please call animal control in your town so they can make sure the animal isn't suffering.

Bit of a rant; does anyone watch Yellowstone? I really hate the character of Beth Dutton. Shows seem to think the only way to portray a woman as strong and capable, is to make her an emotionally broken, alcoholic cunt with daddy issues. She's completely self destructive, treats everyone, including strangers terribly, and is always acting mentally unstable and unhinged. The other female character, is considered weak, because she just does what her husband says, and he's considered a great husband and father. Because she is weak, she is considered the nice one. I like the show but the tropes annoy me.

Lately I've been hearing neighbor's dog outside whimpering or crying almost daily. Late at night, too. I really, really hope they're not neglecting him. :(

Yeah, no worries for sure. One day of indulgence isn't going to derail you, esp if you've been on track since June.. Which is awesome BTW. The 3 lbs are probably due to the high carb and sodium. That's why I never weigh the day after. Give it 4-5 days and I'm sure the extra weight will be gone. Plus sometimes it's good to shock your body with a high calorie day, after all those months of restricting.

Thank you. I was seriously about to make a sandwich and I turned around and put the bread away. I looked in the mirror today, and I still like how I look. What I don't like are the feelings I have every holiday season around gaining weight. Usually I keep overeating and keep feeling miserable. Not this year! I just went down a pants size and I am not going to mess that up.

No worries. You can drink a lot of water and lose three pounds in one day, too.

How did I gain three pounds in one day???? Thanksgiving dinner was the only meal I ate yesterday. Don't get me wrong, I indulged- turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, one roll, but I didn't have seconds. I did have two slices of pumpkin pie and a late night snack of more stuffing. Thoroughly enjoyed it! But THREE POUNDS IN ONE DAY? I used to love the leftovers but I need to leave them alone! No pumpkin pie for breakfast, no turkey sandwich for lunch, no leftovers for dinner! This was my first cheat day since June and I am so annoyed right now, but I'm going to get back on track NOW! I didn't work this hard to lose 32 lbs to undo it all over the holidays. Not gonna happen!
