I am a moron! lol I had that good day and then fell off the wagon. Typical. I was pretty much off for the whole day, but I did get right back on the next. I can't believe I did that! I think I was kinda starving, though. Anyhow, I was at 179.0 this morning and have high hopes for the next couple if days.
I am flucuating between 176-178. It sucks because i have been at this point the last few weeks. Started eating clean today so hopefully that will get me down past 176!!
MzPiggy: I've been between 177-179 for weeks now too! I am going crazy!
Today I was at 177.4. Better than yesterday, but not where I hoped to be. I have to keep telling myself this is not a race and that I've lost over 25 pounds! I'm just really hoping I'm in the 160s for my DD's graduation party May 19!
fruitcake and underwater- congrats ladies!!! That is amazing!!
I'm so beyond annoyed with myself!! I'm studying for this exam I have and it's taking a toll on my eating habits and making me so stressed out, I feel like I'm depressed! AND I ate two snickers bars yesterday, so disappointed in myself. UGH
My weight was down this weekend at 176 but this morning was back at 178. Sad but thank god it's not 180!
Hopefully the scale starts moving again! I need to find a way to separate food and feelings, those snickers tasted better in my head than in real life if that makes any sense! lol
Aww, I know how that goes hhm6. I'm studying for the california bar for the second time (really bad enough to do this once) and the first time I gained 30 pounds. I decided that since the food helped me deal with the anxiety and it was a temporary situation, I'd just go for it and clean up the mess afterwards. Of course, it was no fun gaining all that, but I actually didn't regret it. I do think those stupid muffins calmed me down enough to give it a good go. Sadly I failed and here I am studying again. Sigh... This time I decided I'm not gaining. But somehow it's easier, now. I'm not as scared of failing now that I know how failing feels.
I was at 178.4 again this morning, which is fine with me. Been eating well and exercising sunday, monday, and today so far. So, all is well... I'll be excited to see 177 again, or below, though. It's pretty darn close to 175. Doesn't that seem like a bit of a milestone?
MzPiggy- I am with you too, March 25th I weighed 179.8, today (and for the last 3 days) I've weighed 178.2. It really sucks but at least we're not alone in our struggles!
hhm6- I completely understand what you mean about it not tasting as good in 'real' life. Sometimes I'm craving something, usually chocolate or ice cream and it is always so much better in my head. However I do know that it was good that I ate it because usually I keep my portions in check and it's enough to keep me satisfied for a couple days and safely away from needing to binge.
rubidoux- I can't even imagine studying for the bar, good job with trying to stay healthy while you study. When are you planning on taking it?
Rubidoux- Good luck studying for the bar! I have a few friends who are first years in law school and are complaining about how swamped they are, can't imagine the bar exam. I have been doing this for ages!! It's ridiculous. When I was in undergrad(I'm from CA too!) I ate everything without a care in the world and my excuse was always "I need energy, im a student" my freshmen 15 was a freshmen 25 and now 4 years later and I have yet to take the weight off!! I def know where you're coming from!
Changergirl- I feel like I've been doing this so much lately! Like I will see a commercial for cakes/cookies and when I eat I'm not satisfied, feel sick afterwards or what have you, but I still don't learn!!! I still go after it a few days later when I'm craving something sweet! I was doing so well too. Oh well, live and learn I suppose!
Good morning, everyone! I'm hoping to have a good, on plan Wednesday. I was doing great yesterday until I got into the jolly rancher jelly beans! At least they're gone now . I just couldn't seem to quit eating them. I'm blaming PMS.
Rubidoux: Good luck on the bar. It sounds like you have the right attitude.
Hhm6: don't beat yourself up over a bad day! We all do it. You are doing fantastic. Hopefully this time next month we'll be posting our triumphs and setbacks tin a "getting to 160" forum!!
Changergirl, MzPiggy, and everyone else, have a fantastic day!
. I'm hoping it's bloat due to TOM.
