Mooooorning Flexers!
Courtnie - I'm glad all your tests came back normal! That's a really good thing, even if it means you don't have a reason why the weight loss is slower. What a lucky find about those oils. I love it when something I use is on super sale! And I hope all works out with the new used car
Vday -
I'm so happy to see you checking in!!! It sounds like you've been through a lot these past couple of months. But just like your tag-line says "Keep on truckin'".

Got to the gym again before going to my WW meeting. Just as I knew, I'm up a little this week. But... c'est la vie. We move along. I think my exercising will improve next week's weigh-in.
I've figured something out about the way I work. I may have the occassional resolve to lose weight, but I often need to re-remember. If that makes sense... For example, I've been teetering on the edge of complacency lately. This morning in the car on the way to work I was just thinking about chocolate. And was sad about it for some reason. But, as my mind wandered I remembered "You're doing this, because you've changed your life. There's no going back to the old ways." It was oddly comforting.
There's been self-doubt smoldering in my gut the past few days. I think it's due to the weekend and how poor my choices were. And I don't like it. It's the sort of self-doubt that could easily flair up and lead to defeat. After all I've been through, you'd think that wouldn't cross my mind. The power food holds over us...
I've decided I need a goal with a deadline I can work towards. Wait now, before warning flags are raised
I don't use the deadline as anything set in stone. I use it as a reminder "Hey now Faerie, do you really want this? Remember you want to be XXX by XX." I'm only about 30 pounds away from Onederland. So, my goal of a deadline is
Onederland by the New Year. Already I feel better. Like now that I have a path to follow, I know I can keep going.
Hope you all are wonderful today!
