Re: i'm a wreck

[Guest guest]

Dear Lucee, Gail, Elena, Teri, and Deborah,

Thanks for helping cheer me up and for your nice words.....today is a

fresh day...i AM going to my regular ww meeting tonight.....i'm

scared to death to be weighed....but i will do it...and i WON'T give

up....

started today pretty well....want to get back to my 1/2 cup oatmeal

breakfast.....will have some fruit now that i'm at work......but will

be good today and will get back in the swing of things....

this is such an incredibly hard road.....i get so overwhelmed at

times...but thank you to all for sending such great

encouragement....it really helps a lot!!!

i'll try like crazy to get to the gym tonight.....i know that will

help my energy levels and motivation....

my short term goal is still to lose 10% of my weight by valentine's

day.....that gives me 6 weeks to lose 18 pounds.....well...maybe it's

not totally realistic...but i'm really going to try to do my best to

get there....

even shorter term.....goal for today.....remove all junk food (aka

holiday candy) that has infiltrated my household via gifts from the

house.....and get in some kind of exercise today....

thank you all again!

Caroline,

You can do it girl!!! Remember, just one day at a time. Little things.

Work on one thing at a time, when you have that down, then work on

something else. You got off track for a few days, so did I. It

happens, but it doesn't undo the work you have done. Just start over

today. Don't think about the total number right now. Just work on

behaviors, habits and make mini goals. Your Valentine's day goal sounds

great. I am right there with you. I am after new years and being really

bad, officially 206 today. I am hoping to be 190 by March 29 (b-day)

and then 175 by July 9th (our 20th ann). We can do this!!!! We are here

for you. Lean on us!

Hugs,

Gena

PS: Sorry if I didn't reply to your earlier post. I thought I had. I

got really behind on posts. I wound up leaving a couple groups because

I just could not keep up.
