Question: How do we update? Keep copying the whole thread?

[calluna]

I think folks here play well with others. You still have a goal articulated and can identify a halfway point.

I say go for it. Just put sizes in instead of numbers. By the way, I've been noticing your progress and positive attitude around here and I'm inspired by it! You are doing great! Keep going!!!

Hi everyone! How are you all doing today?

I'm not feeling my best today (sick stomach), but still trying to stick to the plan. It's so hard sometimes when you feel you have so far to go, you know? Three days ago I had a bit of a breakdown when I accidentally tried on the wrong pair of pants. I have the same pants in my current size, and one size down. I remember when I bought them they were too small, which is why I got the bigger size the next day. The ones that fit were fresh out of the dryer and folded up sitting next to the smaller ones and I grabbed the wrong ones while getting dressed. In my mind I know it's not a big deal, but once you finally open your eyes and come to the realization that it's time to do something about the weight, you're ready for it to be gone. I was down 10 lbs., and while I SHOULD have been proud of myself, the pants were just the last straw. I cried for a while and spent most of the rest of the morning trying to motivate myself to get up and get out of the house. Can anyone else relate to this? Getting depressed even though you're already on the right path, and/or not even wanting to be seen in public sometimes? ugh.

But, I guess I feel a little better today, mentally anyway. I notice small changes in myself so far and I know if I keep on keepin' on, I'll get there eventually.

I can definitely relate! I feel like I have been through similar situations. This journey has been weird (and slow) for me because one minute I feel proud of myself and the next minute I feel depressed and down. I don't really have any advice except to say that you are not alone and don't give up!!!

Hey Chicas!

roxmysox - I can totally relate to your feelings of frustration! Last week I had a super nasty bug and it totally got me in a funk. For the first time in this journey, I started doubting myself and getting impatient. I felt so out of control of my body (once again) and it was so devastating. I've found that this journey is full of ups and downs and it helps when I'm down to think that if I just keep taking one step in front of the next, I eventually will be "up" again. I hope your stomach feels better soon! Once that happens...I'm sure you won't feel as frustrated about this journey. You can do it! We all can! Just posting at 3FC I've found is really a huge step in the right direction. Congrats on that!

Hope you are all doing well! Just updating...

PS... You asked what people do with their day. I work in an office full-time and am also a freelance artist and cake decorator.

[roxmysox]

Scale hasn't moved in 5 days. ugh. I've got up a few oz. here and there, and then right back down to where it seems like it just can't fall past, 269.4. How frustrating!

Good to see updating already! Keep up the good work!
