The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

I thought I recognized your screen name from the MY Mf site. I've also made my way over here for the same reasons.

I still check in over there and use the meal logs and all of that, but this forum is so much more supportive and informative.

Glad to see you again.

Hi! I saw you here when I first came around as well. And I still use the mymedifast site to log meals as well. I really feel much better about things since I've come to this site! Everyone here is so great...I'm happy to see you here too and thanks for saying hi!

I have dodged a few bullets this weekend - and it's only Saturday night! Yesterday at work, my boss decided to get pizzas for lunch, and even though I had to endure the wonderful smell of those carb-laden beauties...I remained 100% compliant. Until...last night was my office Christmas party. I did have one drink - but it was vodka and diet coke...and I only had ONE (and it was open bar, so it was small )- which is pretty darn good for me. I also stayed away from the desserts at the party and actually had less of my L&G than I intended to (not much L&G-friendly food there), but I don't think it was too little to worry about. I did get all my MF meals in though, so for me it was a very successful day. It didn't end up 100% on plan, but it was a big behavioral change for me to be as good as I was!
Today, I did hair for 4 people in my kitchen (friends and family). I really forgot how tiring it is to stand on my feet like that! I was able to stay on plan though - with no problems today- even when my DH and my best friend and her hubby ate pizza and peanut butter chex mix in front of me!!!
I am really trying to be as strict to this plan as I can. I am a slow loser to begin with (hypothyroidism is NOT my friend), so I am hoping to get to Onderland in the next few weeks. It may take me longer than planned and I should probably not fixate on numbers and timeframes, but that's me. So I'm trying to just take each day as it comes...that's all we can do!
I just hope I don't have to watch more people eat pizza tomorrow...

Thanks so much for bringing up hypothyroidism. I stopped taking my Synthroid 7 months ago and got royally chewed out about it by my internist this week. When I brought the prescription home the corresponding paperwork indicated that there could be a possible contraindication based on one of the meds my psychiatrist has me on...argh. Of course I failed to call my internist or pharmacist back to check for sure. I am putting it on the calendar to call!

I have a job interview on Thursday morning. It's for a very big company, and I really hope I get this position! I really can't take working at my current job - I've maxed out my salary, and have basically gone as far as I can there. Also - an incident happened at our x-mas party that should have resulted in someone being fired (IMO)- but that didn't happen...very disappointed in my new boss (one of the former sales reps). Sometimes the best salesperson does NOT make the best manager!
Anyway - it's time for me to move on. This company I'm interviewing with is so much bigger than what I'm used to, and I haven't had to interview for a job before, so I'm not sure what to expect! My husband is being so great trying to help me. It's just something I will have to do on my own though. Hopefully they won't ask me questions that I have no answer for! The potential job is pretty much what I do now, so I should be ok...I'm just nervous - in case you couldn't tell!!
This job will be only about 7 minutes from my house....that would be sweet!! My commute isn't the worst in the world...but in the summer it's horrible!!
Anyway - please send all your good vibes/prayers/wishes and knock on wood with your fingers crossed for me!

Good luck, sweetie. At times like this I am so glad to be a kept woman...

[LadyT]

Thanks...lucky you being a kept woman! Yah - I'm jealous!
I'm kept too...kept from having a job I can enjoy!! lol....

Good Luck T!

I KNOW you'll knock their socks off! I am doing a good luck dance (it's very similar to my Snoopy dance, but still effective) for you!
