Dr. T. and more Braces on my Teeth

Well, I saw Dr. T today. He remained tolerant of my bizarre anxiety and blabberyness. I am at 182.8 on his scale. I am calling that my LIW. I guess it should be LIW = 183. So I had a shot on Saturday but not Sunday (hubby went skiing early and we just forgot about it by the time he got back.) Had a shot on Monday but not Tuesday or Wednesday. So I guess I'll be attempting to keep myself on "phase 2" until Thursday... or NOT! HEH HEH.

Dr. T said that I've lost about 5% body fat (but I'm still half lard, I swear to god) and it's about a 17 pound loss overall. And that's with a SHIT LOAD of cheating like a mad woman.

I went to the site that's hcg recipes for Phase 3 and was SO HAPPY to see Pumpkin PIE OMG!!! And I think Biz has a link to this low carb site where the chick is making some kind of bizzarro low carb bread called and oopsie. I am intensely curious about the nature of this bread.

I think it's because it carries the label "BREAD" that I so curious about it.

OK - so also, I got MORE braces not LESS and my teeth are killing me. They never hurt before in my Orthodontic Journey so this was a horrid shock. And of course, dinner was a very delicious and expensive portion of that grass fed beef - a new york steak. I was LICKING the steak because I literally could not chew it. Then I got really mad because even in teeny bites, I just had to swallow it without chewing it at all, like a wolf or a coyote or something. And my teeth still hurt anyway.

So I dug through the medicine cabinet and found a dusty Lortab. I took it. A half and hour later, I re-heated the steak and chewed happily in a Lortab haze. Lortab is nasty stuff though because it also creates nausea and in me, a pronounced slur of speech, making me sound like Liza Minnelli after a rough night out with Joel Grey.

My teeth STILL hurt. So what to eat? I'm hoping for Nice Soft Fish. I can't think of what else would work.

Thanks for the support gentle readers. P3 here I come.

Well hello! ;D If it makes you feel any better ... I was a big cynic at first too. Then I lost almost 30 pounds my first round, and lemme tell you - I was NOT perfect. Not even kinda. lol

Keep it up, I'll be checking in. Feel free to link to my blog if you wish.

All the best! ~Amie

I lick your steak, I liiiick it up!!
I'm so HAPPY for you, you are getting so close!!
I'm sorry you're feeling hurty! Thank God for Lortab, even if it turns you into Drunken Liza it takes the pain away. GO DRUGS!!! In the end you'll be skinny 60's Liza with perfect teeth and a tradmark hairstyle, not bloated 2007 Liza who marries a surgically altered gay man and is still competing with Mama.
Go H. Go!!

Braces huh? I had them in my twenties and still have to wear retainers at night. And if truth be told I probably need to still have my bite fixed. I always feel like I'm clenching my jaw because my teeth don't naturally fit together correctly. So get it all fixed now girl or it will come back to haunt you. BTW mine hurt whenever he had to crank the wires tighter like a medieval torture device.
I loved the Liza visual. And I could picture you trying to eat your steak like a coyote!
Fish would probably be the best thing right now.
I'm starting P2 this weekend just when you'll be starting P3. I'll be jealous of what you're eating!

Today's security word is "deptyt". It would be a good vanity plate for a sherriff's deputy!
