  • I am having some trouble!! Yet refuse to quit.

    WHY ME!!!
    hehe well here is my story, I have messed this thing up SOOO many times since I started on Jan 10th its like i keep gettin derailed. something comes up I get sick, I forget my lunch. its always something. luckly which I must say taints my motivation, my weight flex's when I have been bad but I have mng to loose 16 lbs. when I think about it I could prob be at 25-30 by now... so that kills my soal a little bit. generally when I cheat I gain 1 lb or flatline for that day. Oiii. My biggest eat wrong days are when I go boarding, I get so hungry and I don't bring my lunch up the hill so I face a 20 min down and up again or just starve or eat poopy food. So I choose bad food. I will often say, well I need a break from this today it is not working well. Then the last 2 days I was sick and really didnt want anything I could have so I had toast. 1 peice of sour dough 20 carbs a slice OIII hehe good thing I couldnt eat anything else or I would have gained.

    When I first started Atkin's a year ago I was strict as strict can be. Now I am like Meh whatever, no messuring no nothing I AM A MESS! And I think its funny...but not..but thats how i react to myself is that this is one big joke. (By reading this you may think I have more then one personality)...My friends are supportive in understanding it, but they beleive you need to indulge ever once an a while.

    So this is my insanity plea, I am currently am frustrate at the fact of my lack of motivation to stick to this completely and I am dumbfounded at how I continue to do it with messing up so much, I dont think I could do a 2 week intro clean..that is sad being last time I did it for 3 months, maybe my expectations are to high.

    So now that you think I am insane, I thank you for your time.

    Re: I am having some trouble!! Yet refuse to quit.

    K girl first off you have done great you have lost 15 pounds you have lost like 15 pounds of butter girl that's HUGE you should first off be so increadibly proud of yourself for losing that weight. Next you need to realize that the excuses that you ahve for yourself or the derailing is your own way of sabotaging yourself. You need to look at yourself and really look and decide that this is what you want. You ahve to do it for you and I know that you can do it. I ahve watched you and you ahve watched me. I struggle every day with food medical issues modivation but, the one thing that keeps me going is the thought that I will be at my goal some day weather it be in small bursts of one pound every month or wheter it be fast. I don't care how I get there and the only reason you will fail is if you quit. You have not QUIT you came back and here we are all here for you. YOU will be a Success you have to belive that in your heart to be true and you ahve to quit making excuses. I ahve a pile of em really I do and I ahve heard em all mostly from myself but, that's when you have to reach deep down and say to yourself NO!!!! I want this more then anything and it's yours you can have it, you can become it, you can be it, just want it that bad.

    YOU GO GIRL KEEP your head up and keep going for it.

      Re: I am having some trouble!! Yet refuse to quit.

      Sarah your always a fantastic insperation and your real, your words have made me think, I have also read some of my journals in the biginning and thats before I knew what to do. I really need to re-evaluate what I am doing and how I am messing it up out of stupidness.
      I am proud of the 15 lbs, I rewarded myself with a big gift for starting and losing.

      That is what I bought for myself. So I have set another goal, but this one has a No cheatting restriction, so I figure I will go back to my goals and I need to be invaulved with the board more as it helps you want to stay on track and progress and be proud.
      Thanks for your kind words, I am going to do alot of thinking and re-evaluating of myself. I am proud of myself for not quitting but it is time to get serious and I need to organise my life and get this show on the road

      You look so good by the way, and your proof that it is worth it.

                Hey there girl! I was sad when I read your post because boy, are you awful hard on yourself. Firstly, your pictures show a tremendous difference and hey--you're out there being active and are excited to have a snowboard. You have realized you need a change and are determining the best way to get on the wagon and stay on again. You know what to do.

                Next time you go snowboarding, take a ziploc bag full of cashews or nuts and cheese cubes or something you like to snack on, zip it into your pocket. No excuses! When I find myself making or using excuses, I also beat myself up about it later. Be kinder to yourself. You're not stupid or any of those things you said. Do you know what's really stupid? Typical American obesity and those who are in denial about it or chose to live in ignorance. You are none of those things. You are *smart* for having goals that involve getting healthy and in shape.

                Just get back on track, even if you think you'll fall off again.

                  Hey Jen, Making a way of eating, a way of life is hard hard work. I've only been at it 6 months, that's all. I like your honesty, and willingness to be real here. You will find your way, if you keep working at this, til it clicks! And when it does, oh my gosh how amazing it's gonna be for you...I would set some fun goals, related to snowboarding, or other activities. I would set up rewards for days on program, and earn a steak or seafood...I loved racking up days in a row-cheat free. I really buzzed on picking things in the near future and working towards them. I knew I could not pick a weight, but I could pick a date and imagine how great I would feel on it. I would take skinny clothes and get them out, and work towards the day I could wear em...That stuff reminded me constantly of what I was working towards....Mostly I was working to peace and self respect, cause I had NONE....It's been a long six months, today I am up 3 lbs, who knows why, but I do have peace with food, and self control and respect for myself again...that allows me to live confidently and a bit more agressively!
                  GO FOR IT, girl...

                    Hi Jen. You can do this. Don't look back at the past mistakes (we all have them)...but make a plan for future success. Plan your meals, exercise, water intake, and think positive thoughts about yourself and your new WOE. You have the best support system here filled with people who understand. Get active in the forums and re-read your DANDR - its a wealth of information and motivation.

                    Don't give up on yourself...we are all here and want to help!

                      Re: I am having some trouble!! Yet refuse to quit.

                      Thanks for the advice. I have relised that I needed to wake up, and excuses were just getting old. Watching my weight change and go up down and around cause I would feel I didn't need to always be on it, or I was not satisfied or Id bite into temptation Ive relised these are more more excuses. Yesturday I went clean Almost cheated cause I went to friends and we went to the bar. I decided to walk home b4 stepping into the bar. drinking is huge here alcohol is pretty cheap and its what goes on for fun at night. My friends are understanding though for my reasoning. I feel alot more secure where I am at this morning and I just need to keep focused.

                      Asking for help was step one? Hopefully I will stay level headed and I have some things to make me think. Also made goals so with 2 more lbs down this morning it shows me its more so better not to cheat rather then go up and down.

                      Just praying not to lose sight again

                        You WILL do it girl I know it. You have re-eve=aluated and done some real soul searching and I know what you want you will find and go for it. Right now I ahve a MAY goal to be at goal but, if I don't get there I will be ok cause I know I will be that much closer by then Plus I am doing another Halfer. I like the goals I can focus on. I have to have those short and long term ones to keep me modivated.

                          Yep me too, I gotta have goals to keep me motivated....We have some exercise goals, running in the PeachTree Road Race in July, going out to the Atlanta rock, "Stone Mtn" climbing it and the jogging around it on March 27th...stuff like that, real goals like being here on my birthday, and Aug1 2007-my 1 yr anniv.
                          Like Sarah, I need goals to keep me focused and moving!!!

                              Heya Jen. I just wanted to add that you can, and if you have a bite of something not legal or whatever, just jump back on with the next bite. I was cheat-free for about 6 months (on extended induction) in 99... since then I have probably spent (combined) about 3 years trying to get back on track for longer than a few days. Take time, keep snacks around *constantly*, figure out what you want before you just eat whatever is handy, drink your water....

                              The board looks awesome. I tried that, fell on my face, and went right back to skiing.. I wish I had stuck with it though...
