11/18 Thursday 174.2 : )

Went to SYTYCD last night.  Totally forgot to eat before I went.  Oh my those Nacho's looked tempting. But a second look at them kinda made me sick.  Just oozing...... All I could see was dripping oil!
Wasn't too much to pass them up. Kisha and Kelsey got a hot dog and popcorn and drink.  I passed.
Had a great time..... but was starving when I got home, but passed the kitchen and went straight to bed.

One fear I am having is that I am not hungry.  I do not crave food unless I miss eating my meal.  I am so worried about my appetite after the shots are done in 4 more days. Its the appetite and craving that will do me in.

When I weighed this am, I can see my short term goal for being under 170 for family pictures.  But I still have another 20 lbs to loose.  I looked on the web yesterday and realized that 170 lbs for 5'5" is considered OBESE!!!!  Oh my.... I must have been at deaths door at 220.  my BMI is 29.0

• Underweight = <18.5
• Normal weight = 18.5–24.9
• Overweight = 25–29.9
• Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

(CBS) Are fat people better at sniffing out food?
That's the suggestion of a new study from England. It found that overweight people - those with a high body-mass index (BMI) - are better at detecting to food odors than people with a low BMI.
And high-BMI types have even greater "olfactory acuity" after they've eaten that before, according to the study. In other words, they're still open to temptation by pleasant aromas even if they have a full belly.
Is that why overweight people have such trouble fighting off temptation - that they're tempted by food aromas thin people can't even smell?
The study involved 24 nonsmokers between 18 and 49 years of age. It was conducted at the University of Portsmouth and published in the journal Chemical Senses.
The body mass index can give a good indication of whether a person is overweight. A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered normal. A BMI over 30 is considered obese.


I have been having trouble going to the bathroom.  At Sara's suggestion I purchased Magnesium pills and B vitamin (sub lingual) and some Triple Leaf Tea Herbal Laxative Team for Gentle Effective relief.  If I take 2 mag ills and drink the tea with some other tea for taste, I go.  It feel much better.
