Ruth - I just loved your honest post!
We've all been there. We are there..The one thing I know is true is that by posting here, and keeping in touch - it will stay present in your mind... and eventually you will have more good days than bad.
The other thing that I know is true is that..
If you stop posting, stop paying attention... things will get worse, way worse.
So .. hang in there, keep complaining, cheering and everything else. It takes as long as it takes but at least we are all on the journey. Carol
Things are going better today. Got my sanity back.
Hubby brought me some peaches right off the tree. Yummy! They are so good. Can't beat a Georgia peach!
I think fish is on the menu for dinner tonight and a peach will be dessert. I am thinking coleslaw with the fish. That may be all. I am clinging to that wagon with all my strength. LOL!
I fell off the wagon. I love having time off from babysitting but with company and friends wanting to go out to eat, I fell off!! Climbing back on today. Salad and veggies today with a nice piece of lean meat. We had a sprinkle overnight. Hoping we get some real rain today. Im finishing up my sewing projects today and putting the machine away. Im hoping to read my book and relax before I start back to kids on monday. I really did need this nice break.
I was scared to weigh this morning so I didnt!!
Here's a hand up to the wagon for all who need it!!
I got myself in a little trouble early in the day yesterday, but recovered by eating a very small dinner and at least stayed within calories for the day. I hope to have a better day today. Lots of fresh veggies will be on the plan.
Picked up a huge package of skinless, boneless chicken breasts at BJ's yesterday. Had one, grilled, for dinner and froze the rest. If you hear clucking over the next few weeks it's just me.
I may have food back under control. I'm logging my food, staying w/i my WW points, taking my vitamins and I've been 100% for several days without feeling I'm struggling. Don't know were this came from but I hope it stays with me. It's been way too long being unable to string "good" days together.
It's great to have fresh, yummy, local, fruits and veggies available.
I was doing great yesterday, but I had some wine (planned) with dinner... and then an after dinner drink (not planned)... and then I think there was popcorn. (so not planned).. so, back on track today!!
My scales keep going the wrong direction. I keep losing the same lbs over and over but each time I gain them back they come with a few friends who dont want to leave.
Going out for Thai tonight. Wish I'd remembered before breakfast. I'd have budgeted my points differently. OH well, I will plan carefully for lunch and have fruit before I leave. I should be able to stay OP. (These better not be "famous last words".)
Carol: 13 lbs! I feel badly for you but I know when you have it together you can dump those lbs. in about 6 weeks or less and be sliding downward again. I'd eat if I had to entertain 3 people much less 49. Just the though frighten me to death.
