About the best I can say is journal/blog it, think about it, maintan, and look at what you're journaling/blogging, hopefully it will come to you and you can get over the hump.
I did the same freaking out at those points. So it is normal.(I Hope~LOL)
If not at the worst ~your not alone in craziness~LOL~We are even near the same height & start out weights.
Anyways On a serious note....Just keep on going...Tell yourself I am doing this~I have lost 50 pounds and nothing is gonna stop me from getting to my goal~not even me....IT WORKS BELIEVE ME~And if ya goof up a little~NO biggie we all do sometimes just refocus & restart the moment you goof up.
Hope i was helpful~HUGS!
Yep, I agree with jkinboston--can you just stay on plan and disciplined, but keep off the scale for a week or two? Some people can't stay on track if they don't weigh, but others have had great success with this method. That way, you have no idea whether or not you're 205, 204, or 199; you are just a chick who is staying on plan.
I've been a daily weigher for a year now. Only in the last month have I occasionally skipped a day (usually by accident) and I realized that the world doesn't come to an end if I don't weigh daily.
I can go a day or two without weighing. Not very long, though, or else I go way off-plan. It used to help to call my hubby, but lately I've been so petulant. Like "ha! I'll show me! I'm going to eat this doughnut!"
Have you tried "tricking" yourself...like say, Self, you cannot have a cookie today but as soon as you see 204 on the scale you can. Then, when 204 rolls around, reset it to 199. You know, like dangling a carrot in front of your nose and following it all the way down.
I hate scales, but have found despite promising myself and my parents to only do it once a week i find myself secretly weighing myself on the wii. OP, I think it would be good for you to stay off the scales for a bit cos if you stick to your diet plan and don't know what you weigh you can't be scared of going below your magic number and then when you do weigh yourself and you are, you can be proud of yourself.
Donuts and cookies are such an evil!!!! They taste so good and yes they are culprits because you can't just have one and they are LOADED with sugar. And once the sugar goes into your body it sings songs of joy and it wants more!!!!! Can you tell I've been in your shoes? Listen, all these ladies are right. Stay OFF the scale and stay away from incredibly OBVIOUSLY BAD foods. If you really feel like you're going to lose all control and binge try a different food group. I have found in those moments I hit the popcorn or a Curves Bar and carrots and dip. Are you drinking your water? Even water will fill you up to fill the void. It's hard but it is essentially a promise you make to your self. You're only accountable to you and you MATTER!!!! Make it work by not buying such foods or having those types of things in your home to begin with! YOU CAN DO IT!!!
Well yesterday wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible. My problem comes in when I'm at my mom's house, and I'm there for a while 5 days a week. She's right by my daughter's school so we wait there (rather than wasting the 2 gallons of gas to drive home) after we drop her off in the morning.
Hubby and I have entered into a challenge with each other, so this should keep me a little more motivated.
Good God HELP ME!
