Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 , I think we were seperated at birth. I am trying to stop the process myself and it is not easy. Right now I think I am beating one part of the circle - if I go over points yesterday that does not mean I failed and I need to jump right back on the bandwagon today. I cannot say to myself that I will start anew after this date or event. I have to start again here and now. Team Cyber Slims Wk 1 Pop Pts: 3 214/211/193 (10%) 18lbs to go to goal!!!

I knowthat I can startover each day but mid way through the day I brak down and have somethign si shouldn't. My lunch period is coming up and I dread going to the school cafeteria even though I brought my own lunch. I almost feel as though I keep testing myself to see how much I can eat without exploding. Either that or get sick to my stomach. LOL in NJ 154/153/130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Hi , Don't despair or get discouraged, we all do but we need to figure out what's the most important for each of us. The number on the scale is really SOOOOOO minor in comparison to the way the clothes are getting looser and how we feel BUT we place so much emphasis on that darn thing that we completely wreck any and all progress that we make. GRRRRRRRR!!! Guess the thing that works for me (now anyway...this is the third time I'm headed for lifetime) is to just do ONE day at a time with the food diary and then when I go to bed at night I feel really good that I did one day. IF I've slipped somewhat, which I haven't done this time around in 8 weeks, I get right back up and go for the second day's food and FORGET the day before. If you weigh in and don't like what you see, just practice saying " forget it " and go on and focus on what's really important like the clothes, etc. and the way you feel, then the motivation comes back and things will go forward. Sometimes we need to talk to ourselves and really believe what we are saying and then pretty soon it becomes force of habit. Hope that helps and good luck!! New to this list Hi - not sure if I wrote here before yesterday but I just joined this list. I really need to settle down, stop cheating and get back on plan. There was a time when I was so motivated but my motivation left me and even though I don't feel that great or look the way I used to when I was real good on program it doesn't stop me. Its sort of like a vicious cycle - I find out my weight, figure I didn't do well and then eat and then I am so disgusted I continue to eat the wrong foods and the next time I weigh myself I feel worse and so on and on.. Looking forward to finding out what works for you that have been sucessful and some suggestions to help when you are out of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 , Don't confuse " can't " with " won't " . It all comes down to your choice. You will or you won't. But Can't has nothing to do with it. And it being part of your routine has nothing to do with it either. It's an excuse. It's an excuse you are perfectly free to use, but it's an excuse just the same. Using the word " can't " portrays you as a helpless person with no control over herself. Somehow I don't think that's true. You are either going to take this seriously (and I believe you want to or you wouldn't have joined this list) or you're not. Again, the choice is up to you, but you can't lean on your weaknesses or excuses to get to your goal or to keep yourself from being disappointed... sometimes on a daily basis.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 I think that one problem we all share is not only trying to lose weight but keeping it off. I know for me that after I made goal and I fell back to nasty habits. This time I hope I can get down to my goal weight and keep it off for good.
