Just a simple check-in...and a small confession...

[carrie123]

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone has a great day. I am very sleepy. My MIL called me yesterday with some very unsettling comments. She can be very cruel. She's the type where she needs to find a common enemy in order to relate to people. I bit my tongue, but let it get to me for the rest of the day and through the night. I tossed and turned over it. My dh is still comfy cozy in bed sound asleep, grrrrrrr.

We have another potential buyer for our house today. So I'll be cleaning and getting ready for that. We found a rental down the street, same size for half the price. The only problem is we wanted to move out of the school system for the kids. Actually, the kids wanted to leave the state altogether. First things first, "Sell the house". It'd be nice if we could do it before Christmas.

Oh yes I needed to discuss the really bad thing I fell into {hanging head low in shame}. Awhile back I fell for the "ALLI" plan. I'm sure everyone has heard of it. I don't know why, I just thought it sounded good. The packaging was attractive and it seemed to have some truth to it. I was doing so well until I fell for those darned pills. It all started going downhill from there.I would eat bad, take a pill and thought to myself as long as I had the pills I'd be fine. It doesn't work that way. But I kept on doing it, mostly because the pills cost so much money I didn't want them to go to waste plus, I really like yummy, not-so-good for you food So I'd keep having a "cheat" day. More like a binge day and taking those pills. I'm such an idiot. I gained almost 10 lbs. after losing close to 35lbs. Morale of the story, "Pills do NOT work if you are truly not sick". But you guys and gals already knew that, I just didn't listen.

I am going to throw them in the garbage today, {cringes at the thought of how expensive they were}.

I'm not sure which exercise dvd I'll throw in today. It probably won't be to rigorous, but at least I'll get a nice stretch and a little toning in. I don't want to cause to much DOMS right before my new dvds get here. I really can't wait until my back surgery is complete to really get back into it, but until then, modify, modify, modify
Take care everyone.

Hi Carrie, thanks for checking in, and thanks for such a candid confession.

Though it may not have been with ALLI, I am sure many of us here have been tempted before by some sort of fad diet or pill that promised a quick fix. You are not alone in that.

You have done so great to lose 30 pounds already, and that is a huge accomplishment!! Focus on what you know REALLY works -- a good clean diet and HARD WORK.

Good luck selling the house and all that! And have a good time with your workout, whatever you choose!!

I confess to taking those pills(my mind is blank at the moment)that you take before a fatty meal and then about thirty minutes after the meal you end up running to the toilet.

I didn't take them long and they were very expensivex( x( .I didn't loose any weight either(just had to purchase new undies,lol...I know gross)

I wanted to add...Carrie,my MIL drives me nuts with her comments! Im sending hugs to ya!

Sometimes, well most times, I end up learning the hard way. The Alli Label will be going into my "weight loss journey" scrapbook in the setback section

Thanks for understanding

Carrie
