Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I’m ok REALLY – I was just blowing off steam last night, really ticked off at myself for allowing myself to get so far off track! I had sworn that I would never let “life” get in the way again and there I was letting it happen! Not anymore! What I “meant” by all that steam-blowing is, that I decided last night that I’m done counting the calories and setting my goals so high that I can’t reach ‘em and dreaming the impossible dreams – it’s right back to reality for me J I will be doing just what I was doing when I first joined TOPS – it worked then and got almost 45 pounds off me so it should work again. I’m setting smaller more attainable goals and looking at the realistic picture instead of my “pipe dreams”. I might be hanging off the cliff a little bit right now, but I’m hanging on for dear life ha! I thought about it after I hit the send button and thought “oh no! I can see the emails now cuz it sounds like I’m quitting all together” But no, ya’ll should know me by now – I’m too darn stubborn to just quit LOL I WILL do it, if for no other reason but to prove that I CAN do it J What’s my motto??? “Never Give Up….Never Surrender!” I’m a “lofty goal’ kind of person – but all that loftyness (??) was just setting myself up for failure time and time again…..I’m working on fixing that right now!! AND……Yes….I let loose on Mike last night when I got home (boy did I let loose LOL) told him in no uncertain terms that things are gonna change around here and then stormed off to bed – he’s been sooooo nice today LOL oh! Get this!! When I came home from my lunch with my mommy…..my hubby….the man who SWEARS he can’t cook …..was cooking!! Omelets, sausages and hash browns! Even my son (who CAN cook) was impressed LOL guess it doesn’t hurt to explode every now and again huh?? Even the dishes were put away, the trash was taken out….and the kitchen didn’t look like a war zone when he was finished! WOW! …and as for the contests? I LOVE ‘EM! They are what keeps me going and motivated – seeing all of your successes and watching those points rack up – what a rush!! I’m just frustrated right now that I have to re-type/resend all that cuz it has just up and disappeared from my computer all together – but never fear – ya’ll just keep working hard, sending in those roll calls because I AM saving them and adding up the points. I PROMISE that if nothing else, tomorrow I will get the challenge sent to you (it’s an EASY one!) and then Sunday I’ll send out another one and so on and so on…. Oh! And wait till ya’ll see the prizes! LOL this is gonna be a FUN one!! Ok – I said I was going to bed early and that’s just what I’m gonna do! Nite nite all…..

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Melody, I knew what you meant cause you and I are alike. I know you wont give up. Me either. We just need to step back and look at the problem and then WHACK at it from a different angle. The best losses I had last year were when I said screw the job, screw the housework and put me first. When I let that stuff creep back up the priority list my weight loss screeched to a halt. So today I vowed to get back on the ME program.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 hi Melody sounds like this time your going to do this right .. my dear friend take one day at the time and one lb or less at a time the weight will come off the slower the longer its stays off, start your goal perhaps at 5 lbs when its off try for the other 5 lbs and countinue the road to success good luck on the weight , as for Mike yep let him wake up and smell the coffee no women should be a slave to a man, or house, stick to your words girl sound like your on the right track Many hugs Helen Melody Moris wrote: I’m ok REALLY – I was just blowing off steam last night, really ticked off at myself for allowing myself to get so far off track!

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Melody, Sounds like you have your head on straight now, smaller attainable goals. My doctor has told me for years that the slower it comes off the better chance I have of keeping it off. Hang in there girl I know that you can do it. And it time for Mike & Mikey to grow up and learn to take care of themselves. (((HUGS))) Helon in Abilene _________________________________________________________________ Don’t just search. Find.
