Sally:
I think that occasionally going over by a good number of calories can actually help with weight loss if you stick to things the rest of the time. Keeps your body guessing, and kicks up the weight loss into high-gear.
Or so I've been told, I'm no expert.
Congrats on being so OP tho!!
Ghost:
I hope you hear from that job soon! Fingers crossed that you got it? And if not, a hearty
screw them.
Ducky: I'm the same as you. If I've got yummy cookies or snacks around, I WILL eat them. There's no such thing as portion control in my mind, so it's just easier not to have them around. In the past, when I've had entire bags of Sour Cream and Onion chips, I've eaten three-quarters of the way through the bag. Then I throw them out. But realise that folded in the bag, sitting ontop of the crumpled paper in my garbage, I could still eat them... so in a snap of willpower, I've actually poured water into the bag to effectively RUIN the chips and prevent me from eating them. Talk about extremes, eh?
Bjewled:
You've got plenty of time to drop toooons o' weight before the New Year!
I have faith in you!!!
Gator:
YAY, welcome to 3FC. It's super incredibly helpful. Get as obsessed with it as you can, it helps keeps your motivation up.
Joy:
Yay, congrats on the new relationship! New relationships are THE best KIND of relationship, teehee. Hope you and the ex-friend, new-boyfriend are enjoying yourselves!
Sucky for the non-OP weekend, but EVERY day is a new day! Rock out the new health kick.
As for me... I'm just getting started again. Last time I was here I went from 176 down to 160ish, and it was amazing. Tho I bounced up a little big again, it wasn't by much, and I've been able to keep myself at 160 for quite some time.
So, back to 3FC to keep things moving lower and towards my eventual goal! I weighed in at 157 this morning, but I can't trust my body, so the ticker doesn't change until I believe that it's off for good.
But I feel fabulous, and motivated and really excited that after only 2 days of being OP, the teeter-tottering of my scale between 161 and 159 has dropped lower than I've seen it in... almost 10 months? Maybe 11, actually...? YAY.
