Friday Weigh In (Buh, Humbug!)

  • A POEM.......... (as always)

    Twas a few days after Christmas,
    When I hit the scale.
    You probably heard me,
    'cause I started to YELL!

    I gained 5 whole pounds!
    (How can that be?)
    Let me begin......
    (It's easy to see!)

    I ate larger portions,
    of foods I'm allowed.
    Then I ate some goodies,
    (Of THAT, I'm not proud)

    I had a few cookies,
    some chocolate too,
    But, hey....it is Christmas.
    What could I do???

    I did not eat potatoes,
    rice, pasta or bread......
    (But I know that those goodies,
    were yummy, instead!)

    I toasted with wine,
    (But one glass, that was all!)
    It's a Christmas Eve tradition,
    for me and hubby...(He's a doll!)

    Oh, yes and the HAM,
    I had slice after slice!
    It sure tasted great,
    But the bloating ain't nice!

    I'm sure I was not bad enough,
    to deserve 5 whole pounds!
    But, I'll live with the shame,
    Until I'm back "down."

    So....until next Friday,
    I will try to do better.
    The "goodies" still surrond me,
    nut horns, pepperoni and cheddar!

    Perhaps, after New Years,
    I will show a loss,
    'Cause we still have some parties,
    (But, I'LL be the BOSS!)

    I will try to partake,
    Oh what I'm allowed.
    Skip over the "yummies",
    Not follow the crowd.

    Yes, my butt's a bit bigger,
    than it was LAST week,
    But, I'm a big girl,
    I will not FREAK!!!

    So...with you all by my side,
    I WILL reach my goal!
    (But these holidays,
    sure take their TOLL!)

    (PS...If anyone manages a LOSS this week......I salute you!)

  • LOVED THE POEM..........WHAT INSPIRATION!!!!!! Looks like everyone is doing good. Just wanted to let everyone know I'm not going to post for a few. I just can't seem to get back OP and I feel REALLY stupid coming here and complaining about it. Either you get it or you don't and obviously right now I don't get it. I was 148 when I met you all and now today I'm 160. I was 142 just 5 months ago. I've gained so much and am still gaining. I worked so hard for 2 years to keep the weight off only to let it creep back up on me. I know why I've gained it I've picked up my bad habits again of just eating all day and not exercising. I can't wear ANYTHING. I threw all my fat clothes away after keeping my weight off and now I'm wearing my sweats. Can't wear any of those new clothes I bought in October. I know what I need to do but I just don't have the willpower or something to start back OP. It's sooooo hard to stay low carb because with the kid's I just never have the proper food around. I eat good for 3 days then everything seem's to vanish(if you have kids you know the answer to this one). I just don't know what to do right now. I can't keep getting bigger this I know. A few weeks ago I was on my last leg here having a huge crises with food, such an emotional time, but I've made peace with myself and am not so depressed over it. Just wanted to say bye maybe when I get back in control I'll check in. Good Luck to you all your doing soooo good.
