sat roll call

[Guest guest]

1.4 is NOT bad at all, Beth !!!!!!! You CAN do it, remember, YOU CAN !!!!!!!! I get so frustated at times......but I KNOW what to do......I just don't always do it !!!!!!!! That's a good step to do ~ plan your meals !!!!!!! AND exercise 3 times this week !!!!!!! Hugs and best wishes, Randie

sat roll call

I had a 1.4 gain this week (over a two week period). I broke the chapter's no gainer that they had going. I will try again this week.

The thought of giving up briefly came into my mind, but I remembered all the past encouragement that I and others have received on the loop and in my chapter. Our program leader had a great program today on getting "with the program." What it boils down to right now is relationships. I can't give up or walk away from TOPS because of the relationships I have here on the loop and with my chapter.

I had some quiet time today (it was so quiet that I fell asleep after awhile!!) and had to ask myself if I really wanted to change. Tomorrow I think that I am going to plan my meals out for the week and try to follow the exchange program for one week, beginning with tomorrow's breakfast. I will attempt to exercise 3 times this week.

I am at the point where I have outgrown my clothes-almost-something needs to change within myself. I don't know what it will take, but I am going to take steps to get my butt in gear this week. I do have it within myself to make the necessary changes.

You had a very good day also......If I go out with my Man Friend we always get 2 eggs bacon and toast then we half it....saves money and calories....Hugs Janice

Re: sat roll call

I think posting our food charts is a good idea. I enjoy reading Janice's when she posts and it makes me think about what I'm putting in my mouth.

I didn't do too bad today!! I go to breakfast with both of my sisters each Sat. morning and today I had:

2 eggs, scrambled

2 slices Canadian bacon

8 oz. tomato juice

for lunch:

Lean Cuisine frozen dinner (200 calories)

1 slice whole wheat bread (no margarine or butter)

snack:

2 tbs. peanut butter

Of course, I'm not in bed, yet!!!! So hope I can hold out until then with my mouth SHUT!!

Thanks,

If you all can bear with me, I thought I might start posting my food chart on a daily basis to give me some type of accountability.

Thanks, I will do so. I have so much head knowledge but don't get my butt in gear to act upon it. No one can lose the weight but me. Been thinking about that today.

Thanks, Janice. I made it to bed without eating anything else. Good idea to share but my "man" (been married to him for 49 years) doesn't share!!! And he could stand to lose weight too!!! But I can't do it for him ... just myself. ONE DAY AT A TIME!!

I should have eaten supper ... BUT overdid it the day before so was trying to make up for that. We went to 's ... not a good idea!! Have a real hard time when the desserts are just sitting there calling my name and, unfortunately, I answered!! Probably will eat a little more sensibly today and exercise again. Just hoping for a turtle this week. It's been a real emotional week for me (and you, too) and sometimes I DO let my emotions control me. Hopefully today will be better. Thanks for your encouragement. I really do appreciate it. JeanetteBeth wrote: Just curious..don't you need to eat supper? Is this enough calories for you?? BethJeanette Moody wrote: I think posting our food charts is a good idea.

Thank you so much for the encouragement. You know, I used to sabotage myself. I would do really well. I remember I was going to WW and had lost 20 pounds. People started noticing and complimenting me and telling me that I looked good and that they could see a difference==know what I did? I freaked out and quit. I couldn't hadn't the praise and positive comments, so I gained it all back and more. That happened over 10 years ago. It is scary to change. But now I am to the point where I can handle compliments better and welcome them without being so self-conscious or like I have done something wrong. We will do this together. I had a great quiet time today. I came away believing that it is possible to change with God's help. I figure it will take me to Dec 2007 to reach goal. But it is doable.!!!!!!! We will do this together. Bring on the compliments!!! TOPS hugs and
