Will someone hold me accountable?!?

[tkdhabidah]

Hey Everyone!!

Yeah, I know, yesterday was my first and now I can't stop babbling!

I have done Atkins before and blasted 40 pounds, managed to keep most of it off during a pregnancy and new baby, and finally I'm back for more!

Unfortunately, I am the only big girl in my tiny family, and it's hard to find support around here. . .

I have had a hard time the last week eating how I should, and have snuck bites a few times of bad bad bad stuff. I feel so guilty!

ANYway. . .I want a CLEAN week and I NEED to stop being counter-productive! So, If I could find any allies to hold me accountable and I could do the same for you, I would LOVE IT!!!

I need a mini goal, they seem to be popular around here. I want to break 240 by March 1. That's the Fireman's Ball I will be attending with my hubby. So, included in this goal, I want to strive to drink enough water, eat 5 mini meals, and live a CLEAN extended enduction! Which includes staying away from my biggest weakness. . .Miller Lite! HELP!!!

Any takers? Any suggestions? Is this goal realistic? it's 13 pounds. How much water do I need at 253 lbs? Gallons??

THANKYOU!!!

You know what I do when I want bad food...I am on day 2 so maybe it gets worse...but I think of all the negitives...if it has a smell, think of the bad smell in it, or something discusting, or think well if I eat this, I will forget I ate it anyways so is it really worth it for the 2 seconds of bliss, and if you say yes, think of all the hard work you are doing!!! You need to stop indulging and say NO to yourself. Outloud or in ur head. I grabbed a cookie today and looked at it... though mmmmmm sugar...so I ran back to my house and grabbed a cheese string...gawd i love those, they fill my cravings... you need to find your good choice flavor filler. I hope you dont give up or continue sabatoshing yourself. I know harsh words but someone said it to me and I was like...wow I am...Virtually we are bringing outselves to a sooner death and if I have to refuse a snack or a beer to maintain or lose weight then so be it Now someone save this and send it back for when I get weak:P Good luck hun, just forget the junk and start clean you can do it I have little support here a man who loves carbs and he has nothing but his 6pack an tight body...drives me nuts lol an my mother who forgets and brings my fav food ever in:P

Thanks for the kick in the butt, I needed it. I also cleared off the front of my fridge last night and hung a sign that says "Nothing tastes as good as skinny looks and feels" Hopefully it will help!

Your goal is realistic in my opinion. Just do the things you know you are supposed to do. Live your life moment to moment if you need to do so to overcome your cravings. Sometimes when I am feeling particularly weak, I have to 'pull it all in' like this just to get through the day cheat free. You can do this; it is simply a matter of not allowing yourself the option to fail.
As far as the water goes, there are a couple formulas floating around. Personally, I use this one:

64 oz + 8oz per 25 pounds you wish to lose

According to your siggy you still have 113 to go. So, roughly you are going to need to drink around 100 oz of water per day. YOU CAN DO THIS!
