Ok. I start feeling good about myself and then boom. Down the drain things go. This time I REALLY messed up. Usually when I mess up it's w/low carb stuff at least. But THIS stuff was REGULAR food. Can we say "idiot"??? I swear there's something in my head that doesn't WANT me to be thin!!!! I've been doing so good. Why am I messing up now when I'm closer to goal than I ever thought possible?

Oh Brenda...this is gonna pass... Look at how well you've done! When I get on this site I look at people like you and star and think "look how they've done it! It proves it does work" I think it must get old at times, but the worst thing has to be beating yourself up for it...I think I read one time where you said the key was just to keep sticking with it- to get up and try again. This too shall pass....

Brenda: We seem to be in sync. When you're doing well so am I. When things aren't going so well with you, things aren't going well with me, either! I messed up royally this past weekend, and have been eating WAY too much since then. I just don't have that motivation and fire anymore, and I have no idea where it went. I just want to eat and be lazy. ARGH!! I still have weight to lose. What is up with that???

I guess like Marie said, it will pass, but right now I feel like I've messed up so bad I can't get back on track -- scary. Here's to us both gaining control again and losing this weight!!

I agree totally with Marie. You CAN do it! Even if you have to try a million times you WILL get to goal!

I found a GNC near my house and they carry so many Atkins lines...I tried an Advantage S'mores bar, and I bought the chocolate syrup...I pigged out on sugarfree choc coated almonds today...

Trying not to go off the rails but it gets difficult sometimes

Thanks for all your support. I know this'll pass. I seem to go through this "stage" where I've GOT to eat something. Usually I can control it somewhat and at least eat low carb stuff. But this ice cream business has GOT to stop!!
So ONWARD (again). lol

Brenda, Brenda, Brenda....... You ARE doing great. Look at what you have lost already. You keep mentioning these slip ups but yet you still lose weight. I could kill you....just kidding....

The thing I like best about this woe is that when we slip as we all do you can just get right back on the wagon again. I don't throw it all away just because I had one bad day. Get some of the Atkins ice cream...I love that stuff,...so that when your dh has some you can have some too. I don't usually have ice cream but my dh is an ice cream fanatic so I get one of the Atkins pints and have it around so that if I am tempted I can have it.

Keep on keepin on girl....you are so close.

Brenda, the only way to win this battle is thru perseverance, as many times as we are knocked down, we have to get back up. I have been going thru heck lately with staying on this wlp and just a few weeks ago I wrote how I was going to start kicking ***!! OY, what happened eh~ Don't give up, we need to hang on to each other because this is sort of thing is going to happen our entire lives, we will always be faced with struggles, but PERSERVERANCE will get us to where we want to be.

Hang in there

*I think I can I think I can...as I chug my way through each day*.
We need a slogan!!!! Some type of mantra to chant to ourselves when we feel like cheating or blue. Something that'll remind us of 3FC and the support here

Ok brenda, Ive got an idea, look for my fat thread

Oh that was a good one!!! We need to print it out when it's done. I'm gonna--and stick it to my fridge!!!

I thought of doing that too. Its interesting to see what other people come up with.

Oh that thread you started is GREAT!!! Not only for inspiration (or is that reminder?) but (sorry) some of it's downright hilarious!!!
