I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still here. I know it seems like I fell off the edge of the earth, but I&amp;#39;m still kicking. I have to say that I haven&amp;#39;t been doing the greatest. I have been really sick for about the last month. I got very down on myself, because I feel as though I failed. I ended up gaining weight because I wasn&amp;#39;t watching what I was eating. I have been back on the program for about a week. I am trying my hardest here. As everyone knows it isn&amp;#39;t easy. I am just so tired of being this way. I got very discouraged too because I have to go to my doctors office to get weighed. I feel pathetic with that. I appreciate all the comments and well wishes everyone has sent me. I am just sorry if I have been a disappointment to anyone. Keep up the good work.</title><link>http://www.slim-fast.com/members/palpebpep/announcements/default.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 26 Mar 2009 17:28:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b27fbe55-a45c-486c-8a8b-9ae2ace276c5:92d83760-1257-4ee7-be13-2b8edc9ac6c6</guid><dc:creator>palpebpep</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello everyone.&amp;nbsp; I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still here.&amp;nbsp; I know it seems like I fell off the edge of the earth, but I&amp;#39;m still kicking.&amp;nbsp; I have to say that I haven&amp;#39;t been doing the greatest.&amp;nbsp; I have been really sick for about the last month.&amp;nbsp; I got very down on myself, because I feel as though I failed.&amp;nbsp; I ended up gaining weight because I wasn&amp;#39;t watching what I was eating.&amp;nbsp; I have been back on the program for about a week.&amp;nbsp; I am trying my hardest here.&amp;nbsp; As everyone knows it isn&amp;#39;t easy.&amp;nbsp; I am just so tired of being this way.&amp;nbsp; I got very discouraged too because I have to go to my doctors office to get weighed.&amp;nbsp; I feel pathetic with that.&amp;nbsp; I appreciate all the comments and well wishes everyone has sent me.&amp;nbsp; I am just sorry if I have been a disappointment to anyone.&amp;nbsp; Keep up the good work.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>It&amp;#39;s been a bit since I wrote anything. I have fallen off the ride a couple of times, but I think all in all I am doing ok. I don&amp;#39;t have a scale here, but my coat goes on different so I think something is happening. I hope. I haven&amp;#39;t really gotten into the exercise part yet. I have been so bogged down with work and home life that I haven&amp;#39;t even had a moment to think about working out. My typical work out would be walking, but it has snowed three times this past week alone so it is not the best opportunity for me. We also had an ice storm so under all the snow is ice and it is easy to slip. I slipped and wrenched my kneww just going out to the edge of my driveway to grab my garbage pail yesterday. I think i am going to ask my doctors office if it is ok for me to use their scale to weigh myself. I&amp;#39;ll see what they say. Everyone keep up the good work.</title><link>http://www.slim-fast.com/members/palpebpep/announcements/default.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 11 Jan 2009 23:15:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b27fbe55-a45c-486c-8a8b-9ae2ace276c5:07f235b7-987c-45a3-a661-1d88b7f05ab2</guid><dc:creator>palpebpep</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s been a bit since I wrote anything.&amp;nbsp; I have fallen off the ride a couple of times, but I think all in all I am doing ok.&amp;nbsp; I don&amp;#39;t have a scale here, but my coat goes on&amp;nbsp;different so I think something is happening.&amp;nbsp; I hope.&amp;nbsp; I haven&amp;#39;t really gotten into the exercise part yet.&amp;nbsp; I have been so bogged down with work and home life that I haven&amp;#39;t even had a moment to think about working out.&amp;nbsp; My typical work out would be walking, but it has snowed three times this past week alone so it is not the best opportunity for me.&amp;nbsp; We also had an ice storm so under all the snow is ice and it is easy to slip.&amp;nbsp; I slipped and wrenched my kneww just going out to the edge of my driveway to grab my garbage pail yesterday.&amp;nbsp; I think i am going to ask my doctors office if it is ok for me to use their scale to weigh myself.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;ll see what they say.&amp;nbsp; Everyone keep up the good work.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Two days down now. Today was kind of a weird day. I didn&amp;#39;t really have time to eat today and then my boss invited me to lunch to go over some new office plans. But I did good. I had turkey on wheat and a glass of water. I feel writing this in here helps to keep me on track.</title><link>http://www.slim-fast.com/members/palpebpep/announcements/default.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 07 Jan 2009 00:50:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b27fbe55-a45c-486c-8a8b-9ae2ace276c5:eab07f50-c1fa-4f50-9f01-1db53290b133</guid><dc:creator>palpebpep</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Two days down now.&amp;nbsp; Today was kind of a weird day.&amp;nbsp; I didn&amp;#39;t really have time to eat today and then my boss invited me to lunch to go over some new office plans.&amp;nbsp; But I did good.&amp;nbsp; I had turkey on wheat and a glass of water.&amp;nbsp; I feel writing this in here helps to keep me on track.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>I completed my first day today. It was a little difficult. I can&amp;#39;t believe though how much you actually get to eat. And if you think about it, it actually takes longer to eat the healthy food than the fast food. It seemed to take me all morning to snack on 8 baby carrots, but if it was a bag of chocolate it would have been 1/2 gone if not all the way gone. I was tempted to grab the potato chips when I was visiting my mom, but then it clicked in my head, WHAT ARE YOU DOING! That&amp;#39;s not part of the plan. If i would have screwed up on my first day I would have probably destroyed all of my gumption to go on. Yay, One day down, god knows how many to go.</title><link>http://www.slim-fast.com/members/palpebpep/announcements/default.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 06 Jan 2009 03:57:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b27fbe55-a45c-486c-8a8b-9ae2ace276c5:be57874e-d1f3-473c-81e2-de7b03e522bf</guid><dc:creator>palpebpep</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I completed my first day today.&amp;nbsp; It was&amp;nbsp;a little difficult.&amp;nbsp; I can&amp;#39;t believe though how much you actually get to eat.&amp;nbsp; And if you think about it, it actually takes longer to eat the healthy food than the fast food.&amp;nbsp; It seemed to take me all morning to snack on 8 baby carrots, but if it was a bag of chocolate it would have been 1/2 gone if not all the way gone.&amp;nbsp; I was tempted to grab the potato chips when I was visiting my mom, but then it clicked in my head, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!&amp;nbsp; That&amp;#39;s not part of the plan.&amp;nbsp; If i would have screwed up on my first day I would have probably destroyed all of my gumption to go on.&amp;nbsp; Yay, One day down, god knows how many to go.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
