THIS!
First of all, THANK YOU SO MUCH, everyone for your replies.
Funny thing....
writing that post was what I needed. I needed to express that frustration with myself.
Right after I wrote it, I downloaded the myfitnesspal app on my ipod and have been on the wagon. Today is day 4. Great.
Day 1 is always the hardest.
I have said all the things you've said to me, in support of others here, over the years.
Every single time...I have said "it feels different this time" LOL!
Tracey...40 pounds! Me too.
I get down there...start to feel fantastic...and away it floats. The desperation is gone and I lose focus.
Anyway...here I am, day 4. Grateful!
The battery in my scale is dead. I don't know what I weigh right now...but I'm guessing dangerously close to 300.
I'm tempted to leave it dead. I have always been a scale obsessor, and when I see those awesome first few months numbers start to normalize, I feel disappointed in myself.
Maybe I'll try for once to leave it alone and just focus on how I feel instead.
My highest was 270. I know I'm there or above...
For now, I'm keeping it simple. Stay under budget. Don't obsess. That's it.
Feeling about 2000 times better than 4 days ago...LOL!
