Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Hi guys, remember me? I'm the lifer who said I was committed to change ... again. But I've fallen off the wagon. I saw a 4.5 lb wt. loss the first week on core. Couldn't make it last thurs for weigh in - I was held up late at a dr. appt with my daughter. I can make weigh in tonight, but I'm totally afraid/embarrassed to go, as I feel I gained back that 4.5 lbs and then some. This is so depressing. Why do I do this to myself??? ~ April Start weight 193 Goal weight 150 Last weigh in 188.5 Today, I feel like I weigh 300 lbs :-( Lifetime goal achieved 1991 of 145, lowest weight 137.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 My friend tells me that we repeat things over and over again for two reasons: ~one - we like it, or ~two - we still have something to learn. What can you learn from your predicament? What is it that you are doing every day that is contributing to your 'embarrassment.' Align those things with your embarrassment, because when you change them - the actions that cause your embarrassment, the consequence goes away. If you align your actions that cause your embarrassment with yourself, you will be in that proverbial spiral that leads to gaining weight. Look at your actions as if you are a director of a play. As the director, you have full control over what happens. Change your actions in this way and some of the emotional attachments you have to those actions (eating to make you feel better) will dissipate, or hopefully go away. This philosophical moment was brought to you by someone who has been there before, and probably will be again. Keep your spirits up. This is only ONE weigh in of many. The next one will be better. HELP! I've fallen and I can't get up! Hi guys, remember me? I'm the lifer who said I was committed to change ... again. But I've fallen off the wagon. I saw a 4.5 lb wt. loss the first week on core.
