Re: CC Roll Call Saturday 3/15/08
I am so tired today, I couldn't even remember if I had checked in or not.
Forgot it was Saturday and went shopping and wondered why there were so many people.
Man, I am tired. I am going back to studying now.Comment

Re: CC Roll Call Saturday 3/15/08
okay so I am needing some encouragement really bad...I have eaten so bad this week, and I have no idea why. I ate subway twice, spaghetti, and alfredo (both were with whole grain pasta...but still that has like 40 carbs per seving) I've slacked off on my water. aggghhh...I really need a swift kick in the rear (as liz said).
I want to lose this weight so bad. I am so sick of looking & feeling unattractive. I really want to get healthy, and hot looking (so I can get my self confidence back), so why do I cheat???
I am soo mad at myself for being weak!
Sorry for sounding so pathetic...I just really needed to vent!Comment

Re: CC Roll Call Saturday 3/15/08
I so totally know what you're going through Jammie. I've been right there with you this week. How can we want something so badly yet consciously choose to do the very thing that will prevent us from getting want we want? It's mind blowing.
Here's the key though... Don't dwell on those mistakes this week... get RIGHT back on track today! This minute! The sooner you get back on track, the sooner the cravings will disappear, and the sooner you will gain that control back that we so desperately need.
You CAN do this! You are not weak! You are strong, you are determined, you are a fighter, you are successful! Thanks for letting us know that you're struggling. I'll be checking up on you.

Re: CC Roll Call Saturday 3/15/08
It's almost like we are afraid to succeed. I have lost a little bit of weight but instead of feeling better, when I was walking across the parking lot at school the other day, I felt so self conscious. I guess it was because I didn't have my usual sweatshirt jacket on. I almost feel like that without my food. Like my food (the food I used to eat) was a protective coating over me. If anything upset me or if I just wanted to feel a little better, I could let the consuming of food actually consume me.
I agree with Liz, you can't let this set back hurt you. You have accomplished so much, don't let this discourage you too much. We are here for you. I am frustrated with myself because I joined last March and half @ss did the diet and I had to start over this January. I get depressed when I say "I would have been at goal now if I had done it right" but I try to shake it off and say to myself that at least I am doing it right now. Don't give up like I did.Comment

Re: CC Roll Call Saturday 3/15/08
Thanks so much guys, its good to know that I have someone to talk to when I'm feeling like this...It's time like this in the past that I would of just slid back into old habits, but knowing we're in this together really helps.
I think I did turn to those foods (like you said, porcelain) because it made me feel good for the time being...but then I feel so depressed after because I know eating like that pushes me farther away from what it is I really want!
Liz, I am starting fresh, RIGHT NOW, this minute ... no more crap foods for me!! I love your words of encouragement! They really hit home!
I am so thankful to have met you guys...we really are all in this together, and with each others help we will all get to where we want to be. (:

I don't think I could have gotten this far on the diet had it not been for this bulletin board. It definitely makes a difference in my life.Comment

Re: CC Roll Call Saturday 3/15/08
I feel the same way Jammie... this board has been such a huge help keeping me motivated and on track. I don't want to disappoint you guys and most importantly I don't want to disappoint myself!
I have spent 20 years going up and down and up and down and my desire those ENTIRE 20 years has been to be thin, to look good, to feel great! I look back and wonder why has it has taken me SO long to get there. But then I come here and find the most amazing people who have struggled with the same exact thing. It's not just me. Weight loss is HARD, it's hard work! It takes patience, determination, commitment, perserverance, and a host of other things. So few people actually lose weight and keep it off. We all want to be that person and we all know that Atkins is the way to acheive it. So day by day we press on towards our goal. Don't dwell on past mistakes. We're bound to make them along the way. But in the grand scheme of things it's just a bump in the road. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and keep on running... running towards the prize and most importantly... BELIEVE IT!
Okay, I was so talking to myself there. I needed to hear that. lol Sorry if I got a little long-winded. I'm glad you're back on track Jammie. We can DO this together. We can be that person!!!
