well done betsi... some of the shaking up im doing by eating offplan slightly the last two days must have done something cos im down to 202.;6 today. a pound lost since yesterday so...
Miriam - chin up! You're making progress and that's what counts. We all have "ugly fat" days but beating ourselves up is not going to make it better. When I'm feeling like this I make myself find one part of my body I like and just focus on that one.
Alright.. I'm beginning to think that someone is pumping me full of food while I sleep. I worked out for 2.5 hours yesterday.. spread out of course.. and went up .2 pounds. This is it! I'm motivated!!!!
Miriam - just wanted to send a and some positive thinking vibes. I think that we have all been there, mentally.
I was having a hard time recently and my DH send me a text that said
"almost done remember your blood type"
My blood type is B+ and I always joke that it a good motto to have ingrained in you
It made me smile when I was having a tough day, and helped me remember that there are positive aspects to everything, sometimes we just have to search a little harder. Personally, I feel that being overweight has helped me become a much more empathetic person, and the process of losing weight has taught me a lot about myself. Hang in there!
Miriam, it's only when I am trying to lose weight that I actually see the "real/just all the lumps rolls and bumps" me in the mirror. When I'm on the way up, I put blinders on.

I just had myself a little binge, so I will not be weighing tomorrow as I fear it will keep me down further in the hole. My plan is to get up, go for the run I was planning, get back fully OP and drink TONS of fluids. And not restrict, which I know will lead to more binging.
onward and forward.
when I ended my madness I came to the computer to document caloric intake and check in with 3fc, 24/7 therapist.

Boy oh boy, you're singing my tune Kitty. What a day! I rarely have a problem with binging or emotional eating (my weight is more to do with inactivity than overeating) but today I just craved carbs so badly. I've had the hardest time putting on the brakes today. I'm pretty sure I'm going to show a gain on the scale tomorrow. Ugh. Well, back in the saddle, right? More exercise tomorrow, get back to eating right and keep moving forward.
I have a Taylor Scale/Body Fat Analyzer which weighs me in 0.5 increments. I've had a 0.1 increment scale before, and I just find that if the scale is forced to round it a bit more, I don't obsess over ounces.
However, I do still have the old model, which is super accurate, and it's made by Salter, which you can find here:
