Make sure you're being a good girl or your son will tattle on you.

MelodyM Roll Call (Tuesday)

gained 4 lbs - voted off my TOPS Survivor team - have to eat green beans and NO chocolate to earn my way back on.

I guess the stress finally got to me - no excuses - I ate everything that wasn't nailed down.

guess I'll go find my green beans now....

MELODY WROTE>>>gained 4 lbs - voted off my TOPS Survivor team - have to eat green beans and NO chocolate to earn my way back on.

Don't get discouraged, Melody. You weighed in... GOOD FOR YOU!....Accountability-- that's what TOPS is all about... that, and support. And you dang sure can't benefit from the support of your chapter members if you don't attend the meeting. Give yourself a big hug and pat on the back for making the right choice about going to your weigh in.

So.... you know what you did wrong... in your words, you 'ate everything that wasn't nailed down'. Why? "stress got to you". Did eating make the stress go away? Yeah, probably for the time that you were chewing, swallowing, and for just a bit while you were digesting... and then that yummy, comfy, feel good-feeling was over. Then what did ya have? Probably a full belly... and the added stress of knowing that you made choices that would negatively affect the goals that you've set for yourself. So, what did you learn... you know that eating the wrong foods doesn't make the stress go away... learn from your past experience, and march on. If you have issues in your life, causing you stress, that are out of your control... don't let them lead to losing control of your eating. YOU CAN CONTROL WHAT AND HOW MUCH YOU PUT IN YOUR MOUTH. Think back to when you were most motivated to lose weight... and just back on how good it made you feel after a day of making healthy life choices. That sense of accomplishment gave you a confidence that probably spilled over in every aspect of your life. You can get there again! Don't wait until tomorrow, or the beginning of next week, next month, etc. Start right here, right now. You and your health are worth it. Take care of yourself and take control of your health by making the right choices. I KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO IT.

You're a sweetie Janet! I knew all along that I was doing everything wrong - the stress and the depression got the best of me - I let it win - now I'm working my way back to normal again (LOL whatever that is) and hoping that I can make my team proud of me in the next week or two.
