adaem -- it is okay, honestly... don't ever ever feel like a loser. Keep ur spirits up because I have heard a lot about mind having a lot to do with weight. Stress does cause us to retain weight and our bodies to slow down. So make it a point to tell yourself every morning when you look in the mirror that you are awesome.. beautiful and deserving of every wonderful thing this world has to offer. One day you will see your reflection in the mirror and it will seem different to you and you will see how beautiful you are. I promise... on my off days if I look into a mirror my sadness or stress clouds my face and I notice I am looking "rough" ... and on my really really good days I look into the mirror and smile and play that whole part of checking myself out. My weight didn't change, and it is still the same face, but our moods and feelings really affect us.
But don't ever ever ever feel weak or like a loser. Next time you see those snacks you might indulge in one, two or a few, but those snacks won't break you.... make that your reward day for yourself. If its once a month - then make that day each week your reward day. People think losing weight means no guilty pleasures, rather I THINK that diet is eating healthy and as intended to fuel our bodies with proper nutrients and then those tasty yums are good once in a while... I have a day when I reward myself with something yummy like sugary cereal or sunchips and during TOM, I know my reward is at the beginning and is made of chocolate LMBO...
HI ANDREA - have fun at WW thursday.... tomorrow is wednesday... I don't know what you're planning to do but I can tell you for every diet (LOL yes there have been plenty attempts) I always have a farewell party the day before... ya know one last day for all the good stuff... TEE HEE, yup I think I gained 4 pounds when I started this diet because of my farewell to carb party LOL!!!
desertdreamer - I hope the reduction in Rx helps you. And mmmmmmmmm.... girl scout cookies... I couldn't do it, I couldn't do it... I'd be ripping them open LOL!!! I love cookies. I had a battle with my box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and finally my will came crashing in and I had ham & cheese on wheat (I don't know if that was more healthy really, but I know it was more protein
) I threw my frosted flakes away because I love cereal and I am saving that Cinnamon Toast Crunch for this weekend as my reward, lol and then chocolate on Sunday because it is almost time for my TOM and I am hoping that this week it appears as I didn't lose because my body always retains massive water the week before and I hope that is what I am seeing... ooooo wouldn't that be exciting!!
MMMMMKay guys, I ramble way too much... exercising makes you talk a lot LOL and no wonder most people think those who are exercise junkies are on drugs because the hyper factor is way up there ..... Yeah I got 10,000+ steps in todya with long walk up town, 25 min cardio & pilates session.... yeah I am wired.
Hi EVERYONE!!!!!!!
You are still doing great! I hope you feel better this afternoon and are willing to forgive yourself.
