skinny | Arthritis Information

I have noticed that in the past two weeks no one has said anything about their diets. I am guessing that everyone kind of crashed and burned after Easter. I havent been pigging out but I havent been doing that terrific either. I am not even thinking in terms of just losing weight. I want to be skinny again. I was looking at a clothing catalog and I realized that I didnt even want to buy anything simply because I didnt want to have to buy things in the largest size availabe. I am short and most of the petite sizes only go up to 14. That is about where I am. I should be more like a 2 or 4 at the most for my height. I just cant stand it anymore. I want to be able to buy clothes again. So, time to quit slacking and get back to it. Any one else still working on the weight?

What is this about dieting???

Have I told you all my new favorite saying??

"I don't skinny dip, I chunky dunk."

woobieHi, my name is Pam. I am addicted to sugar in any way, shape or form.I'm addicted to sweets, chocolate and colas (coke).

I've been on a diet for 8 days and lost a couple of pounds. My clothes fit looser and I feel overall better, except for the arthritis.

I am determined to get skinny (135) even if it kills me.

I haven't done too badly. One thing though that I've been having for breakfast the last couple of mornings has definately not been good. Froot Loops

I have been really busy at work, which in turn makes me eat conveniently, which is the WORST. I haven't been buying my fruits and vegetables. I am going grocery shopping today to get my fresh foods back in stock.

I have been doing worse than ever. When I work a lot and have high stress is my worst time. But I am glad I feel good enough to work so hard. So it is a good/bad situation.

edit: p.s. I have gained one pound in 6 weeks total. So I am happy if I don't gain. Being on pred, my goal was to not gain. I was expecting her to say 5-10 more, but I just FEEL fat. arizonara38836.3105671296Hi Everyone: My Prednisone is down to 10 mg. and will be tapered to 7.5mg next week. I've started to diet and have only lost a couple of lbs. in the last 3 weeks but I figure it's better than nothing. We're hitting the road and headed towards Las Vegas. We left Mexico and arrived in Yuma 3/1 and have been here for 2 months because of a flare. Am doing somewhat better now and it's time to see family in Las Vegas and then on to Fallon, NV for 2 weeks. Our summer destination is the Columbia Gorge area of Washington state. We'll be there for 3 months and then head back to the southwest and to Mexico for 5 months. Somehow I have to find a way to lose 30 lbs.!!!!! Crunchy, I lost 3 pounds this week due to diverticulitis and a low fiber diet. I don't reccommend it but oh well.Linda, If you take me on your adventures with you, I will sit on you every time you don't eat right and eat it myself. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE   Diet, I've been sooooooo bad. Still have Easter candy in the house.
   Haven't gotten on the scales, don't want to pass out. I finally finish the ham and don't want to see any more until next year.
   I'm going to start watching what I eat. Have to get some weight off of me. As Crunchy said, it's hard to find petite sizes that go beyond a 14 unless you go in to the women's sizes.
   So will be telling myself that it's not a diet, it's eating healthy!

Hey Roxy: You bet you could go along with us if I thought it would help me lose weight. We wouldn't need to diet, we could laugh our asses off! But then Stan wouldn't have anything to grab when he boosts me into the truck. When I flare it's hard to climb into the truck and he always more than willing to help out. I guess the only answer is smaller portions and just be sensible and not try any of the wonder diets that are so popular. Have to stay out of the restaurants but it's hard when your in different towns, especially Vegas. Marisa Sue, you're right it's eating healthy.

Although I have gained 13lbs im still in a size 3. I guess I was under weight for a while but now I would like my clothes to be a little loser. I hate salads, fruit, and veggies what am i suppose to do? Lindy, those eating places in Vegas will kill any type of diet you're on. I try to be careful at the buffets and I ask if I can look to see what they have before I buy my meal. When I'm in Vegas, I know what eating places I can go to and they will work with me.
   Have fun up there.

   MarisaOkay Beadturtle and Nichole---you skinny minis---I have 30 pounds for each of you! Happy Mothers Day or Happy Whatever you want to call it. You guys can have it all.
And - if I dont like it - I'm not going to eat it... so I really really suck at diets.

I figure, If i have to live in pain every day of my life, I'm going to atleast eat what I want.

All I try to do is just stay where I'm at. I'm happy here. If i dont gain too much on prednisone, i'm happy. I drink water a lot, and i eat mostly veggies, and not a lot of red meat. I do not drink, or do drugs.   My crutches are cigarettes and mountain dew.

occasionally, I cannot pass up some Ben & Jerry's Fudge Chocolate Brownie, and i like an occasional tub of popcorn, but other than that - I dont eat anything that's "BAD".   I have a well rounded diet, and I dont over do anything. I honestly think that is they key.

Not that i'm skinny minnie or anything - because I'm not. I've been overweight all my life. But not grossly obeise or anything. Average size 16... and my husband thinks i would look stupid skinny. LOL I'm not too big, not too little........ i'm OK.

I do not diet.. it puts too much pressure on me.. and - as you can probably guess, i'm not a big fan of pressure either.
LOL - next?
