Two weeks into my new lifestyle and I got on the scale and I lost 3.2 pounds and 7 inches! I was so excited... and the sabotaging began (along with a minor donut binge). Then I had a thought this afternoon. I thought: I was working so hard at this because I'm getting tired of starting over ALL THE TIME!! I lost 25 pounds this summer and I binged myself back to my starting point and I realized that starting over and over gets tiresome. So tired of losing the same 20 pounds, I am going to stick this out and I went to the gym tonight instead of waiting until tomorrow.

Good for you honey! That's an AMAZING loss!!! Keep working hard, and know that those donuts aren't worth it!!!

(I just said "Ah, thanks, but I'm good. " to a cadbury cream egg and some hershey's kisses from my roommate, and I'm so proud! Spread the willpower!!!)

Thanks for the encouragement! Jelbb, if I looked like you did in that black dress, I would say no to cadbury cream eggs and kisses too!! LoL!

uggg, cadbury cream eggs, those just might be my downfall

Thats so good. Its easy to just say "well this day is ruined, I think I'll wait until tomorrow and eat healthier" but then you eat bad the next day.. and the next day.. Whenever I eat something bad I figure the whole day is blown!! I wish I could be more like that!

Congratulations!!!

That is a great mentality to have! And it is going to be what helps you keep going & keep the weight off. I have been hungry a few nights because I have gobbled down too many calories earlier in the day, but I refuse to get back to where I was before. I just drink a whole water bottle & go to bed, so that I can get up & have breakfast & try harder.

You have found a great place to get lots of support you need. I have posted threads before begging for people to help me not eat something or find something healthy to eat at a restaurant, and within in minutes I have multiple encouragers! It's awesome!

I love these girls!!
