yeah.. I know what you mean. About six months before our old boy got ill, I had adopted a little goody Papillon from a rescue and so having this little guy really helped me get through the loss. Animal are so amazing! I like them so much better than people!
But that aside. Your new kitties are so cute and glad you are back on the wagon. I started back on my 1200 calorie thing on Monday after a 5 pound gain from the holidays. Ready to get into the 130's!!!!!
I'm so glad to hear that you pulled through. The sugar sometimes just makes it worse, doesn't it? Especially if your body is already no longer used to it.
I can't eat the same amount of food I used to, which helps with the negative impact of bingeing. I feel so awful afterwards that it takes a long time for me to even consider it again.
I sure relate to that. I don't binge but sure did over do it with sugar far to long. I am having a hard time getting rid of the weight I gained. It will come off in time, a very long time.
please do tell how you got yourself off the sugar--that is a challenge in itself! congrats...i have started a personal challenge to reach a set amt of calories for the month of january (healthy amount of course)
Thanks Marjie! I've been trying out the Vit D for my depression too. Parents left for back home today, so I will have to up my dose for the next few days so i don't get too far down into a funk.
Look Fabulous. Just vibrant and healthy. When you hit a point that you have completed a journey, it's normal to go through a binge period. This in itself can have an effect on your ummmm, yep, hormones. Which in turn as we all know can cause further bingeing; suspect sugar and depression. Texas-T depression. Should you go through this common cycle ever again, take a look at your hormone levels and ways to balance them out. You do look like your hottie spicy self. Happy to see a new video!
thats how i "cheat" too...i will start with pnut mms cos i think the peanuts will "cut" some of the damage and i venture with organic chocolate and durum wheat noodles from the health food store..if its from the health food store its good for you right? WRONG with sugar addiction sugar from chocolate is the same as sugar from breads/wheats etc so for MY body I know i cant have those things or it will spark a binge! Thanks for this vid
Do you have a sugar addiction or gluten addiction (gluten intolerance). Most of us are allergic to gluten and don't know it. It's like herioine to some of us.
I had just found you, and then you were gone :( I'm so sorry to hear about your depression, and am inspired by your resolve........Wishing you a very Happy New Year! xoxo
I am so sorry to hear you had some hard times! I also think maybe you were too skinny. Your body will tell you what weight is a good one for you. Struggling with our demons is a constant battle, but you have been an inspiration to so many. Keep making videos, Margie, you are an amazing person! P.S. I am sorry about Big Boy! What a gorgeous cat he was!
I still cannot get over how SKINNY you are!!! It's amazing. You look super sexy girl! Your husband is one lucky guy! Thank you for making a update! I've missed you!!! <3
Marjie, I think you look great. Congrats on getting back on track. I did the same thing you did the last couple months which destroyed the new habits I was creating. But I am getting back on track slowly but surely.
I'm sorry about Talladega but it seems it lived a very long life.
You look FABULOUS!!!!! I am happy to see you!!!!! Sorry you had to go through the depression..... I undertstand that sugar addiction...mine is still there but no nearly as bad as it used to be~ See you soon Sassy Girl!!!!!
oh marjie i'm so sorry that you hit that slump after your weightloss. i hear, in the weightloss community here, that it's not uncommon (for whatever reason). but i am soooo HAPPY that you've got your old self back and are off the sugar!! that's awesome!! i'm very encouraged by your news!! thanks for posting this vid! ~ hugs, katie
Weird how I love to bake. If I do it again guess I can give it away, but I doubt I will. I think it is wrong to give people food that is not good for them even if they eat that crap.
We have decided to get another American Shorthair. We thought it would be impossible but after seeing a few at the cat show yesterday we know we can handle it. So we are shopping breeders again.
I think you look really good. I think your face looks great at this weight. I agree about the sugar. I eat no sugar wheat dairy or gluten and will never go back.
@macomarell 1.does eating carbs make you crave sugar? 2. When you get to your goal weight will carbs make you start to gain or will it keep your weight stabilized? 3. Did you have any medical issues that are now gone due to your diet?
I limit my carbs to fruit and veggies. I gave up grains 2 years ago. They probably do make you crave sugars because what they do is turn to sugar in the body which creates fat cells. I intend to never eat grains again.
I had no medical conditions that I knew of except obesity. I did blood work recently and everything is great.
Glad to see you back darlin.. You look faboulous at a size 4 :) I know you'll reach whatever size/ weight feels appropiate to you . because your a bad ass :)
So happy so see you Margie. Vitamin D and St John's Wort is amazing for depression. I have now almost eliminated all sugars from my diet, I feel wonderful without sugar!
Also, the Paleo diet is something I am researching about, I just finished listening to a podcast Primal Body-Primal Mind.
Also, I know I am out of vitamin D...and most other supplements, I can't wait to get back on them all.
I am saving my pennies to be able to purchase grass fed beef.
Those cookies did not temp me either. We are such strong women. Yea.
Grass fed beef is wonderful but can be a bit gamey tasting sometimes. Some people don't like it.
If I am out I buy the organic at Raley's. It is very good.
Oh, maybe you could find the grass fed at a local butcher, that is where we buy ours, he raises his own cattle. We have also bought from a local rancher, We buy half or a whole animal at a time. lasts a whole year.
Thanks, I have a few ideas for new videos. I am even learning new software to edit them. Something I couldn't do a few weeks ago. It is such a great feeling to be in control again.
Actually yes I would say that 5000mg of Vit. D3 a day is a mega dose! I am only taking 3600 at the moment.. but thinking of uping it.. I have only been taking that dose for a few days I hear it will really work wonders..
I have another question for you.. is that 5000mg of Vit. D3 in one pill or?
My pills are only 400mg in each pill so i am taking 8 a day!
oh glad ur bk I just subed 2 u not long ago and like u a lot and love the grocery hauls..u look fabulious darling...sorry about ur cat I have 2 dogs and dont even want to think about something like that happening to them..u make awesome videos marg...be well...
We miss our kitty so darn much. My husband is taking it very hard.
We have decided to get another American Shorthair. We didn't think we could do it until we saw a few yesterday at the cat show. Now we know we can handle it.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and experience with depression. I'm about being healthy and exercising, those are my only goals and to reduce the "whites" out of my diet. I'm now a comfortable size 6 and we'll see how it goes from here. I think setting scale goals can in some ways be detrimental because it implies there is a finish line when in reality we should live this way until we die. Does that make sense? Welcome back beautiful. You are loved!!
There is no finish line for me. I intend to do my way of eating for life, you are so right. I need the scale to let me know how I am doing. I sometimes forget to weigh but don't sweat it.
I am comfortable in a size 4 but prefer the 2's. Since I discovered I have a small frame I now know why at 135 I feel fatish and have a roll of fat at the waist that is impossible to get rid of.
Honestly Margie, I need to release more weight. I still have that tummy roll that probably won't go until I am a 4. My 6's are fitting looser, so that's good. I miss my scale :(
Marge love the hairdo! Think there is something in chocolate that keeps your happy wander if you body was missing a nutrient it got from the chocolate. Anyway glad you are back on track are you still working??
I do fine when I eat plain Chocolate when I am feeling good. I got out of control with that darn depression. I hadn't had it for two years so I was sorta surprised I got it at all. Glad it is gone, I intend to keep it gone.
Hello lady! It is so good to see you. Congratulations on getting back on track. I look forward to seeing your continued success in the New Year. Take care.
Thank you for sharing your store. What I think is amazing is how you look like you never had a weight problem, like you have always been thin. Undergroundwellness had some videos on the Mood Cure by Julia Ross, I just got the book. might be an interesting read. Sorry about your Cat, I know how hard that can be. You are a strong woman, pulled yourself through and are pushing ahead. am so glad to see you back. You are a great motivator and I love your sense of humor. take good care.
The daily-ness of nutritional health....ah, what an adventure! Please post this as a video response to my New Year's Resolution video so I can find it quickly when I need inspiration!
Yikes. I can relate. If I think I have the freedom to eat chocolate, I get out of control. I'm so glad you got back on track. You've done such a great job.
Darn sugar!! Yesterday at the cat show they were giving away those mini candy's. My husband had some M&M's and I could smell them, Guess what? I didn't want even one. What a great feeling that was.
GREAT to see you back! Thank you for sharing your story with us. Bless your heart! I'm so glad you met your goal and that you are on your way back down to it. AWESOME video!
so very glad you are back. its nice to have that smiling crazy lady around !! its nice to have a 'non surgery' person out there too. you look marvelous at this weight but if losing more is what will make you happy thats cool. waves~~~
I do Calorie Restriction and didn't fully explain it. After the weight stabilizes you then want to lose another 10% for optimal health. Calorie Restriction is all about health and longevity. I want that.
Wow, this is ironic! I was just thinking about you an hour ago, that you hadn't posted in a long time, and voila! Here you are! Nice video. Glad you're back on track! happy new year!
cannot get it to work either........i've been having a hard time with youtube vids all day though so guess i'll favorite for lady...........and i was really looking forward to hearing from you:(
Do you have a bunch of hanging loose skin? I lost a 100 pounds too, and now im all baggy. I hate it.

It was the same way I got over a few other addictions, talk to myself and giving myself a date to stop.
I didn't like how it was making me feel so it was pretty easy. Also I was feeling good, stress and depression can cause loss of control.
I count my calories every day, wow a month sounds like a lot of planning. But should work.
Good luck

I do fine when I eat plain Chocolate when I am feeling good. I got out of control with that darn depression. I hadn't had it for two years so I was sorta surprised I got it at all. Glad it is gone, I intend to keep it gone.

Thank you for sharing your store. What I think is amazing is how you look like you never had a weight problem, like you have always been thin. Undergroundwellness had some videos on the Mood Cure by Julia Ross, I just got the book. might be an interesting read. Sorry about your Cat, I know how hard that can be. You are a strong woman, pulled yourself through and are pushing ahead. am so glad to see you back. You are a great motivator and I love your sense of humor. take good care.

Thanks, I will check those videos out.
Our Tally was a huge part of our family we are really having a hard time without him. Lots of tears.
We have decided to get another American Shorthair and doing lots of cat shopping at the Cat shows looking for the perfect breeder.
Thanks for the kind words.

Yikes. I can relate. If I think I have the freedom to eat chocolate, I get out of control. I'm so glad you got back on track. You've done such a great job.
Many blessings to you.

Darn sugar!! Yesterday at the cat show they were giving away those mini candy's. My husband had some M&M's and I could smell them, Guess what? I didn't want even one. What a great feeling that was.

I do Calorie Restriction and didn't fully explain it. After the weight stabilizes you then want to lose another 10% for optimal health. Calorie Restriction is all about health and longevity. I want that.

We are going to several cat shows to find a breeder for another American Shorthair. They are wonderful cats.
