Courntie - Thanks. I am glad you got your name thing straightened out
I had my weekly weigh in today and I lost 5 lbs this week I will be happy with my loss this month if I can get to 147 by July 4. I always set my goals to high.
ok, so i need to lose about 15 lbs in 3 weeks. think it can be done if i watch the cals and fat? anyway, i guess thats a mini goal. i just got a job working @ Dillard's (a high end fashion store). and i have too look fairly decent everyday that i work. anyways, my first day is on july 17. plus i havent been able to fit into most of my business attire for a few months now and i cant afford to buy new clothes. other mini goal, drink at least 1 gal of water a day.
anyways, not my ideal job, but itll be ok for now. at least until i find something else or go back to school. we'll see. So ive noticed a few of you say you go off track when your boys fix you dinner/take you out, etc. i have the same sort of problem. actually its since ive been with this particular boy ive gained all of my weight (170 before-214 after). he had terrible eating habits and ive pretty much adopted them. i have no will power any tips on how to overcome this? i really just wish i had more will power!!
Angeleyes- My boyfriend has the absolute worst eating habits. However, I refuse to let myself follow in his suit. I was dating a guy when I first gained all my weight. We ate fast food everyday etc. I balloned from a size 4 to a 22. Now 4 years later I am at a size 8 and almost to my goal weight of 130. I guess seeing how horrid it could be to let myself go shocked me into not doing it again. Now if I go out with my bf < not the fast food guy>I order low carb food and if we go to friends I bring food or eat low carb like salad or whatever is there.
If I get temped I just think of how bummed I will be if I get on the scale and I gained.
yah my boss went to get coffee I guess and bought me a cookie - we all share an office, I guess it was a thank you for the gift I gave her... but now its saying eat me eat me
Courtnie - how many points was it worth? Did you end up having it?
angeleyes - I think it could be doable - make sure you are exercising because that can cause some big changes in your body without losing all the 15 pounds. I work retail - used to work in women's clothing and learnt SO much that is was a valuable experience for me. Enjoy it - gets lots of discounted clothes, heh.
I totally gained weight with my bf - I went from 163 .. 30-31inch waist jeans, to 20/22, I have lost down to a 16, even if I'm not happy here. I gained over 100 pounts, which makes me sad to think about. But now is the time to change, and with day 2 of WW, I am feeling good still.
Nikki - if you could bottle up that willpower, wanna send me some? hehe..
I am ending my day at 30 points, not toooooo bad considering in a fit of badness I had a piece of coffee cake from Starbucks, and then some of the bf's Taquito. I added this all in, so I feel not too bad with how I'm ending. It's only +3.5 points for the week and you get 35 flex points!
I will be happy with my loss this month if I can get to 147 by July 4. I always set my goals to high.
any tips on how to overcome this? i really just wish i had more will power!!
