Welcome RaptureRdy!

I moved your name to its proper alphabetical position.
Please tell us what you mean by "your way" into phase II so that I know how better to advise you.

I'm so very sorry for your loss....

Looks like you are doing very well so far....nice loss!

Hi Judy, thank-you. I am on South Beach, this is my 3rd week, so I am in the phase 2 part. I may go back to the phase one, but if I'm faithful, probably won't need to. I like having some fruit with my lunch meal. Thanks for putting me in my place (alphabetically speaking ;-)

Where are we to put our daily weigh in at? I see the weekly spot. I hope I did that right!

Yes, I know that you are on South Beach...as this is the SB section of this site. I'm really glad to see that you moved onto phase II in your 3 rd week as it so important to keep moving forward. Many try to stay in phase I for too long...and against my words of wisdom. I float between all the phases now to manage my weight loss.

FYI- the weighin itself is a weekly one...if you want to post your daily weight in this thread, feel free to just post it here and or...start a journal here and keep it there.

Urgh. I am having a really tough day. I've had to close down my little business as my mortgage company won't let me run it from home. I cannot believe how much I've been messed around over this

At any rate, I'm now very tearful and desperately wanting to comfort eat. It doesn't help that I baked a cake earlier for my little boy to eat with his friends when they came over to play. Oh well, I'll struggle on I suppose.

Sorry about that loss Angela...but perhaps this way you will have to find a different way to run your business.

Now onto the food thing...when I want to eat from stress or for comfort, I think about all the food that I can eat....I will not allow my mind to dwell in bad carbs.

You can do this Angela!!

Thanks Judy, I will keep that in mind once I reach my goal like you've done! You've kept it off for awhile, that must feel so good.

Angela ((((((BIG HUGS))))) I am so sorry you've had to shut down your dream, that is what it was wasn't it? Your dream doesn't have to die, maybe this is the Lords way of taking you down a different path, or at doing the same thing from a different angle. You can't have an online mortgage business with this company...are there others that encourage Mothers with young children at home, if not there should be! I hope you will not use food to medicate your pain, it doesn't work anyway. Just makes you feel worse.

Let us know how you make out and what you did instead... Enjoy a nice cup of Green Tea and take a walk with your little boy.

Thanks so much everyone! It was my dream, yes, and I'm trying to find a commercial kitchen to work from, but it doesn't seem to be a concept that has caught on in the UK Oh well. I'm still proud of what I achieved and I might start up again if we move house in the next few years.

I maintained this week which I'm really pleased about, especially after such a huge loss last week. Instead of going off plan when I was very miserable, I wound up making a huge curry with loads of veggies, chickpeas and 4oz of beef made into little spicy meatballs. All totally legit, eye-wateringly spicy and delicious. A good curry cheers me up almost as much as cake, and is better for me too!

I've also played lots of football and some netball too with my little monster and his friends. And I've just come in from the garden where I was weeding and I've also picked my first cherry tomatoes so I'm quite cheerful now. And this is a total epic, so I shall stop here :P

Oh Angela! Your attitude is beautiful, and you are doing exactly the right things to motivate! I think I understand now that you wanted to bake or do cooking of some sort in your home and the Mortgage company wouldn't allow this. We have the same sort of thing here but it's not the mortgage companies so much as the city ordinances and zoning.

I had a similar but the same sort of thing happen to me, I wanted to bake cookies and sell them, but didn't have a commercial kitchen to work from. We went to a regional restaurant chain and gave them samples and they loved my cookies so much that they let me bake them in their own commericial kitchen that they had off site. I wonder if you could approach some of the local restaurants with the proposition of giving them a percentage of your baking/cooking profits, for them as well.

Good for you that you made that delicious sounding curry recipe! I love curry too, and would love the recipe.

You didn't gain and stayed on track despite the setbacks proves that you are going to make it girl! Awesome job!

Yes, I was baking cupcakes to order for weddings, corporate events etc. It was going really well, too.



I'll try to remember what I chucked into it and post it in the recipe thread



Thanks so much for all your support!!
