I decided after my 9 lb loss in February that I would join a challenge on 3FC. I’ve never done that, and I really don’t know why–it takes a committment and I need committments in my life when it comes to weight loss. I also need accountability.
So there it is. When I am thinking about eating the wrong thing, will I really want to post about it? Or would I rather post about NOT eating it and losing a lb? I want to encourage the winner in me, and be one of the ones at the end of the month who met the goal!!! I can lose 10 lbs in a month, so that is my plan….!!!

This being the last day of February, I say goodbye to it, and I also say goodbye to the 9 lbs I lost this month…9 lbs…..hooray! Yes, I would have loved to have it be more and not had any struggle, but I am taking this loss with pleasure, because I overcame the struggle to have a really good last week. I am challenged and anxious for March, I am committed to keeping my eye on the challenge and getting this weight off!!

It’s time to go back to work…I had a very busy two days off, but I’ve lost both days of them, and I’m now down 9 lbs, so this is wonderful for me…and a good incentive to stay on plan regardless of the new seasonal pizza that will be there that I happen to love. It will be back next year (I keep telling myself) and I can have it then, after I’ve lost all my weight!!….one more lb and I am down into the next group of 10 and that is always cool….makes me feel that I really am accomplishing something here!!

Well, having a root canal sure helped the eating yesterday, I lost 2 lbs! I wish my ticker didn’t round the numbers–I like seeing what I actually weigh so I can reflect 1/2lb loses as well, not trying to be obsessive here but it’s nice to be accurate, and fun too!
For the last few days I haven’t eaten anything after about 5pm–I think this may have really helped spur on my weight starting to go down again, so I am going to try to keep doing that. I work swing and that will sometimes be a challenge at work, but I have unlimited water, tea and diet soda at work so I will try to take this time to get a lot of my liquid for the day in instead.
Whatever it takes to develop a habit I am willing to at least try…..I really want this to work!!

This morning I woke up to a loss on the scale, 1.4 lbs from yesterday. I am very happy about this as it’s been a while and I want this to be the direction I’m going in, not continuing to mess up. Two solid days are two days to be happy about, and to try to build on, so there it is…working on making these two days a complete habit!! Today I have dental work, a root canal and fitting for a crown, no fun but needed, so that will certainly aid me in not wanting to particularly eat, and I will be careful with my choices so that will make a difference too…..maybe I’ll lose another lb, that will be worth having a sore mouth, right? right……

Today has been a good day, so was yesterday, and I hope to see the scale drop tomorrow morning, and then I’ll get to change my ticker finally! I think talking about it here really helps, as it is a safe place for me. I don’t know who reads this (and I hope it might help you if you do), but I know that actually saying what I feel inside can help me face it and conquer it.
It is a battle for me, but one I want to win. I know what it’s like to lose 100# and it feels terrific. I want to do that again and moreso. So I am happy about today and anxious about tomorrow. I do not have any more time left to mess around or have days where I blow it…….this needs to just be it……!!!!!

Every day I get up and make the decision that today I will eat on plan and get some exercise and make right choices for myself. But lately I have been messing up before the day is over, so I find myself still at the same weight and not losing anything. …and telling myself positive things, making good decisions again, but not being able to carry through.
I don’t get this. I used to not eat all the time. For one year I ate every other day (yes I had a problem–I understand that–but that isn’t what I’m addressing here), so why am I unable to go a few hours right now?
I wish I could understand this part of me and help myself grow stronger. I’m been reading a lot of posts on 3FC and they do give me a lot of encouragement and hope. I DO want to get this weight off, and I know coming here is helping, so I will just go through today and look to make the right choices and try not to give in to my cravings or bad decisions……on to the day then!!

Ah, back to work in a couple hours….and all the challenges that brings. I went to the store yesterday and made a good salad at the salad bar to take in for work. For breakfast I had some fruit and cheese. These are good healthy things I need to do, because I will be around pizza all night, and I really want to create a strict stay on plan week this week….and see the results happen…
I am determined right now, and want to stay determined every moment!

I want to say that I appreciate any and all who comment here and interact with me….what you say means more to me than you know….just as I hope some things I might share affect, help or challenge you..there really is a truth to “strength in numbers”….is that why we hide away and stop posting whenever we fall off our eating plan?
This blog is a bit of both for me, a bit private as it is all my own, yet accessible and interactive with anyone who chooses to visit also. I hope I convey that regardless of my struggles I am attempting a positive mood here, though sometimes the subject matter may be sad.
Today is my day off. I am spending the day with my grand daughter as she is off school, so later we will probably go out to lunch (a nice soup and salad healthy restaurant, NOT fast food!!) (Just in case you were worried!) and that will be nice…
On to the day, then!!

Making the decision to visit the forum on 3FC is an important one. Making the decision to visit the forum everyday is an even more important one. So there it is. ..
Why typing in feelings, responses, ideas, etc. can make such a difference is beyond me, but it really does. I am hoping having this blog does the same for me.
And I really hope that all of this spills out onto my whole life, so that the influences I get here bring strength to me when I want to overeat, or eat the wrong things. That we will see, but it truly is my hope. I am amazed and encouraged and so far this week, losing weight too–hooray!
