Back to IE basics!

I am staying OP today because I love eating what I want when I'm hungry, enjoying my food, eating like a thin person, and letting the weight take care of itself... Because it does!! It's only when I stress myself out and become obsessive about micromanaging things that I STOP losing weight, I become miserably depressed, I stop trusting the process to work. I've been doing that for a few months and it has NOT helped!!

So, I'm staying OP today, because obsessing over it isn't fun, and I want to be happy again... Like I did when I started this 20lbs heavier than I am now

Because I have lost 30 lbs and I never ever thought I would be able to do it. All those times those people said that anything is possible, I was sure they were just full of crap. Apparently I was wrong

Because I want to get out of the 190's.......couldn't wait to get to 199 and now I'm anxious to get out of them. Ahhhh, the grass is always greener, right

Don't even tell me that!! I'm on a mission to 199 and will let out a huge sigh of relief when I do. Are you saying the obsession continues??

And to keep on topic, staying on plan because I met someone today who couldn't believe I've lost 125lbs nevermind in less than 8 months. He was shocked, then I think he was staring looking for some kind of proof lol. Wanted to say, my jeans are a 14! Used to be a 28!

Haha, sorry Elvis The euphoria of Onederland is still there, don't worry, but no the obsession of watching that scale go down in numbers never really goes away. But, I will say, I can't see any lower number or maybe even goal ever comparing to the excitement of seeing 199 on the scale.

You are sooooo close and soon will experience that wonderful feeling yourself

I'm staying on plan today ..... So my children will have a first hand view of how you can turn your failures into a success as long as your willing to put in the work and effort and never give up even though your tired....you persevere
S
I want them to know how being tenacious does pay off!

Because they just announced my ten year high school reunion's tentative dates, and I might be unlucky enough to be available the weekend they pick

Because today we were told a coworker (about 48-52 years old) will not be returning to work because she had an aneurysm and has been unconscious for over a week. Recovery is not likely. It is a shock to all of us here... she was a overweight but not obese.

Not that those things can always be prevented... but it just opened my eyes to completely make my body as healthy as possible.

because I REALLY want to get into the 2zero's.

I will stay on plan today because my spring coat that fit last sping is a little bit tight... staying on plan means it will fit properly in a few weeks.

because I want to show my daughters that we can set difficult goals and achieve them, too!

Because I haven't given up yet.

Because I bought a size L workout capri pants and they fit good enough with a tshirt for me to workout in. They were out of XL at the store so I took a chance. A few more pounds and I will be happy in them! I haven't worn a size Large in 10 years!

Because its 1 of the few things i actually have control over!

because onederland is a possibility in the future.
