MM notes:
I am digging through the OH archives for my postings from 2004, to add them to the blog, seeing as I am missing a good chunk of time, hell, years! from this archive. I was active on their forums, and I know I verbalrrhea'd there plenty, in fact I think I had three screen names in total? bethlbutterfly who turned into meltingmama who is "deactivatedmember" which makes it difficult to find me. How do I know it's me? The Excessive Use Of Blinkies. Jesus.
Here's one I found from December of 2004, aside from a million "What are you eating today?" threads I started.
Okay, so since DH and I are both post-op, we both have issues with plateaus. He's had a harder time losing overall, even though he started out bigger, I've always attributed it to the fact that he didn't limit carbohydrates, drank sports drinks, and didn't journal his food.
So, the other day he asked *me* why he wasn't losing weight. I just was like, "Don't ask me, I'm not losing!"
I told him to stop eating any and all carbohydrates. Quit the sports
drinks, flour, sugar, etc. I told him that any more than the equivalent
of one piece of bread a day would stop weight loss (which is the way
I've read and understood it...) And guess what happened? 
It worked. He's eating protein forward, skipping carbs... and losing again, much faster. 
Now, I've got to do something different! I've got to starting drinking like a fish.... and real exercise! I hate to make excuses, but there really isn't any time to exercise... unless I want four kids hanging off of me! (I babysit one extra) I have NO excuse for not drinking enough. Not one. I have no excuse for not eating right, I do! I eat more than enough, I vary my calorie intake, I eat protein first, I don't mess with carbs.... something else has to be wrong.... I'd have to be eating over 2000-2800 cals a day to maintain my current weight. :anger: Am I? I eat between 600-1100?! I eat less than my 2.9 y.o. DD!
Sorry for the b*tching, just getting frustrated with this cycle of loss, gain, loss, plateau..............
I know I'm not DONE, I look a mess and there's plenty of fat left to metabolize. That's ALL that's left!! I know I should be grateful for what I've lost, and I am, it's just THIS particular size is frustrating... maybe not when I'm dressed and done up... but I can't stand the sight of my nudie body,
.. I mean, normal people don't fold over in half... when they roll over on the bed! 
If I lay flat, it looks like I'm liquid, and I've been poured into a
body mold, and somebody forgot to say WHEN!! My flesh spills over my
bones... it's gross! My hipbones stick out- but my belly is so big. My
chest is absolutely gone. If I take my bra off, it's all done. If I lay
down, I'm completely flatchested. Sorry, TMI. DH told me this morning
that I need an @$$, that I have none to hold my pants up--- and WHY am
I wearing "low-rise" pants since I have no @$$?
Okay, but if I take the pants off, my skin just falls, (like that Missy
Elliot song... if anybody knows it...my tail goes boom.....
)Okay, I'd better SHUT my face before I get flamed.
/End post from 2004 I may try to back date these if I can.
