Hi everyone I need some cyber suppport. I reached goal and have been on maintenance and now I have been straying little bits here & there and I am up 8 lbs from goal. (on my home scale)
I am going into the center again today- first time in in 3 weeks. But I think I need a cyber kick in the butt girls.

Don't feel bad...well I guess if we must get a kick in the butt for being bad we can do it together... . Here it comes....... ......ouch that sucked. OK BACK ON WE GOOOOO!!!
Okay that being said, I think it's great that you're going back to the COD today. The center is what really holds me accountable. You'll do great. We all have minor slip ups. Just remember that a few pounds does not equal the 50 you have lost.
ok ok I felt all of those I went to the COD today. According to their scale I am only up 7 lbs. SO my fave counselor and I sat down and figured out a plan of attack. I am back on the weight loss portion of the program. And I am going into the center 3 times a week. After I get back down to goal then we are going to set goals for me and a plan to keep on track. She said that I would set a goal of only allowing myself to go up like 3 lbs & then have a plan when I do go up. So that is good. Thanks for the support.

Back on the wagon!!!!
I loved what Lettie shared with me so much, that I'll quote her here. Reading this puts me in a different frame of mind...
Quote:
pre- LAWL I saw a woman walk by me who was very trim, fit pretty..... I thought to myself "what I wouldn't give to look like that" then I thought to myself, "what would I give???" when I say to myself "what I wouldn't give....." it implied to myself that I would give anything in the world. But then I realized, I don't have to give that much. I don't have to give my first born, my home, my husband, my soul. Then what do I have to give? I have to give the desire to stick to it. When I realized that I could have it all I have to do is do it, then it became clear. This was not something that was off limits to me. I CAN be fit. It is mine for the taking. It is like Dorthy, the ability to go home was there all along, she just had to believe it herself.
Barb,
After what you've lost so far, 7 pounds is just a drop in the bucket. And if you've been off plan, how much of that is water weight?...You'll be back to goal in no time.
Barb,
Good for you for biting the bullet and getting back on track. I, too, wish that I hadn't let myself get so out of hand after my last successful loss. 7 pounds will go like lightening....more than that turns into a monumental task. Keep up the good work!
