I did so good today UNTIL I got home... I must have not ate enough! I was so busy at work that I didn't eat breakfast until 10am. (Bad I know) I ate a bowl of Uncle Sams cereal with some almond milk (Oh I gave my daughter a cup of Almond milk with a little bit of Truvia in it and she said it tasted better than real milk..!!) and a piece of string cheese. At 1pm Lunch was a salad with a grilled chicken breast and some shredded cheese a few cherry tomatoes with some bacon bits and a mixture of Ranch & Olive oil Italian. By the time I got home at 5:30 I was starving. I didn't lay anything out to thaw out so I had to make due. I made King Ranch chicken for the family. Made me another big salad with a small scoop of King Ranch. (Oh and the tortillas had no sugar...only used 1 can of cream of chicken with some cheddar and sourcream... Not sure exactly how many carb servings although the sugar was very low.) by the time I got done eating my salad I only had a few bites of the King Ranch... 
I'm so tired lately...not sure what's going on...I thought we were supposed to have more energy!! Maybe it's just stress....???
Didn't weigh today...maybe tomorrow..
Fighting constipation which I know can be expected...I feel like I have 10 pounds sitting on my gut!
Thank you guys for the comments... It's really nice to have support....!!! 
Well it's time for bed..
Good Night and God Bless!!!
Oh and I think I figured out why you couldn't post comments.. I looked in the "Options" and I had DON"T ALLOW, HIDE EXISTING clicked.. don't know how I did that?!?!

I posted on Purpleposey's blog the following:
Rosey.. I'm on day 6. I went shopping with my Mom today..I haven't walked that much in a year..lol..anyways she wanted to go out for breakfast but I had already had mine planned so I asked her to wait until after I ate...she said that was fine so I ate my breakfast at home.Before I left I grabbed my little bag of walnuts in case I got the munchies later. Well we stayed out ALL day long. Lunch time came and she wanted to go eat and she said she wanted to go to Panda Express. I said that was fine and I ordered a small mushroom & chicken (I remember Jorge saying it was ok to eat that in one of his books with 2 spring rolls but I passed on the spring rolls) she ordered firecracker chicken which I know is VERY sweet! She kept trying to tell me.."Take a bite".."It's only a little bite"..I just kept saying "no thank you"... After lunch we went to Sams (Like Cosco) and they have all the little ladies at the ends of the isle with all the samples of food saying "Try this"..lol my mom was like "It's only a little bit honey".."No thank you!" I was thirsty at one point and she handed me her Fanta.. ."Here" she said.. "Nope" I said.."I'll get a water". As we walked around Sam's I was looking at all the food...showing her the labels. Then she said.. "I get it. Your eating like your a diabetic...very low sugar." I was like "Yes that's a way to look at it...because if I don't lose this weight I might just very well become one"... A little while later one of those ladies asked me if I wanted a small cup of hot chocolate. My Mom told her. "She can't she's a diabetic" lol...I know..it was wrong for her to lie...BUT..she GOT it... After 7 hours of shopping on our way home my Mom told me she was very proud of me.... =) 
1st day running the roads out on the town and I did it...not one cheater bite...no bad food...just BELLY GOOD FOOD... I have not felt deprived...a little hungry at times but I'm human I'm gonna get hungry.Thank you for posting (Blogging)... I always look forward to reading them and have went back and read most on the ones you have posted before... only a few more to go and I will have read them all.

GOD Bless you Rosy!!!

Ok...so day number 3 is done. I had a pretty good day today. Wasn't too hungry and I didn't crave anything UNTIL....lol....until I went over to my Mom's house. She has tons of cooking magazines  and I was looking through them thinking that maybe I could find something to make that would be low carb, or just maybe find a recipe that I could change up the ingredients and make it low carb. What I found instead was pictures...pictures with cake, cookies, breads!!!!! UGH!!!! I did so good until that....I saw this picture with this chocolate gooey caramel pie...oh it looked so good.. I had even passed up my mother's offer of a root beer float and didn't even bat an eye until I saw that picture.. My mouth literary started watering! My body's reaction to a picture was crazy.....I shut the book...and started talking to my Mom about whatever just to forget about the pie!
My husband and I were watching TV last night and I also noticed (I really hadn't before) the amount of commercials of food on TV. I mean almost every commercial had to do with Burger King... Sonic... McDonald's. .FOOD FOOD FOOD... no wonder I walk around hungry all the time...they must be sending subliminal messages to my brain...lol.. YOUR HUNGRY...GO GET A BIG MAC... You don't see any commercials from farmers tho...other than the two men on the Ocean Spray commercial that talk about their cranberries...
I did get on the scale this morning... I'm down 3 pounds in the 3 days I have been doing this. I know it's all water but it still makes you feel good.  The eating has been great....not too hungry. I did have moments that I would have loved to grab something sweet. I need to get me some of the Dark Chocolate that Jorge talks about..
Time for bed......GOD BLESS & WATCH OVER YOU!

My 1st Post EVER!!

The above picture is me..in 2006. I'm with my 3 daughters Meagan, Ryan & Mikayla. Less than a year after this picture was taken my daughter Meagan was killed by an impaired driver. Meagan is at the bottom of the picture. I'm the one to the right...lol..like you couldn't tell I was the Momma. 
I posted this picture so you could see two things. My beautiful daughters and the weight I want to be again...actually a little smaller.. I was about 195 here. I'm 5'10 so I'm hoping to get to around 175-180.
I'm using Jorge Cruise's THE BELY FAT CURE.  http://www.jorgecruise.com/  I'm hoping that this will be the right way of eating for me. In 2001 I had weight loss surgery. I was 274 pounds. I dropped to 165 at my lowest weight and was I believe too small. I'm tall and I believe that a woman should have some curves!! I gained back up to 175-185 and was very comfortable with myself. I stayed that way for a few years and then went up to 195-199 for years. I was a little uncomfortable with that but it didn't bother me too bad. In 2006 I had a partial hysterectomy. My weight went up to about 205 after that. On March 19th of 2007 my oldest daughter was killed by an impaired driver. (High on drugs) my weight dropped to about 190. In 2008 I had my right ovary taken out and a year later I had my left. Since then I have gained up to 230 pounds. In 2007 I also married the love of my life and became a step-mom to 5 wonderful kids. My husband for the past two years has had custody of them and I have now 6 kids at home full time. My middle daughter Ryan lives on her own. I also work 40-45 hours of week. My life is hectic....crazy.... chaotic & I wouldn't have it any other way.  I know a lot of my problem is emotional eating. I was eating too many "Slider" foods.....WAY TO MANY CARBS. So by doing THE BELLY FAT CURE I'm hoping to end my carb addiction, learn to eat healthier, feel better & lose weight. What I like about THE BELLY FAT CURE is that I think it's "DO"able. You can have some carbs...there seems to be NOTHING that is completely OFF LIMITS... You might have to change the way you make them....
Please bare with me... I'm still learning about the diet.. It's only my second day on it. I know with time I will learn more and more. 
Also please forgive any spelling or grammar mess ups!!!!
