Hey girls! Hope everybody's holiday
season is going well. I have more shopping to do today, both in store and online. I'm not really in the holiday spirit yet but once we get our
this weekend that should change. Hopefully. LOL. It's kind of hard when there isn't any snow and the temps are still around 60-70 degrees. Although, I must say it is downright cold here today. 54 degrees at the moment and it was in the 40's this morning. Oh well, next week the highs are forecast to be in the low 70's. Much better.
It's 2 of my dog's first Christmas (They are 8 and 10 but I adopted them in October) and my lab baby Zach's 2nd Christmas and I want to make it very special for them, especially Zena, who is battling mammary cancer. Colt is 10 and not in good health either so I want to make it special for him as well.
Working on Day 32 today. Yesterday was pretty easy--no temptations to binge.
Fruitlady, yes you can be binge-free until Christmas. You just have to take things one day at a time and when it gets hard, take it one minute at a time. Distract yourself before the binge by taking a walk, enjoying some time w/ a loved one, talking on the phone, reading a book, coming on here to talk about it, eating some protein (this one works well for me), etc. Ultimately, it is the best Christmas gift you can give yourself. I believe in you!
Duqserb, you have the right attitude. Moderation is what I do as well. Congrats on your week binge-free. Hope you are doing well.
Jash,
Hope you are doing well!
Paris, hope you made your month binge-free! On to Month 2 (and then Months 3
) But you're right, one day at a time. Little changes add up to big results. I once read a quotation about how dripping water can eat through a stone. I try to remember that when it seems as if all my hard work is going nowhere.
Skyra, don't give up on losing weight. Obviously you are capable of doing so. You did the right thing by coming on here and talking to us about how you're feeling. Which is all it is, a
feeling. It will pass and your sensible side will take over again and realize that you not only CAN lose weight but you WILL lose weight and get to goal. Make a plan and stick to it. Start counting calories if you aren't already. Weight loss is essentially calories in vs calories out. I know you know this, but it sounds like you need to be reminded of it.
Debo,
and great job waking up out of the mindless eating. One handful of lowfat popcorn can't do any damage. I can't afford to give up, either. BTW, what is a dtr?
Fatmad, sounds like you are doing well, even in the face of temptation. Half of a dessert is a lot better than eating the whole thing. You did great.
Samantha,
on your one day. That is always the hardest day for me. Keep on going!
DogMomNP, it seems as if you have put the wekend behind you, where it belongs, and you've turned it around, and that's what counts. Hope Day 2 goes well.
Carvinmom, logging your food is a great start. My plan is to count calories and exercise. Pretty basic, but it works for me. Keep on posting w/ us!
Whew! I think that's everybody. Hope everybody else is doing well. Gotta run as I still have a million things to do today!
