Tuesday Roll Call

Re: Tuesday Roll Call

Hi Sandy. I'm here too. There seems to be a lot of talk at the moment about us sabotaging ourselves. You are doing so great, you just have to believe that you are going to make your goal of 190 and it will happen. Its a long journey Sandy, but we will get there in the end. I've been having a really bad time with this woe for the past 4 weeks. I've been sticking to 100% & the scales ahve stuck. On Sunday night I couldn't sleep as I had this awful feeling in my stomach, I felt reallys scared, like something terrible was going to happen. From talking to my bf I realised that the thing that was bothering me was the scales not moving. I hate feeling like that. Anyhow, I'm refusing to let the scales sabotage my efforts and I'm ignoring them until they start moving. I'm going to continue doing what I'm doing and it has to start rewarding me. Its as simple as that.

You keep the chin up Sandy. You'll get there!

Re: Tuesday Roll Call

Hi Sandy,
Hang in there kiddo... try to figure out why you want to sabatage yourself... what's the underlying fear, or need? And look how far you've come... 26 lbs is a 2-3 year old child. That's alot. I had to get a sling when my son was 20 lbs because he was putting my arm to sleep. Try picking up 26 lbs and carrying it around for a while... it'll make you tired! And that's an amazing accomplishment to lose THAT much! Maybe too you should ask to be reassigned out of the kitchen... that is such a hard place to be in when you're on a WOW like this. Carbs galore! No wonder it is so hard for you! But stay strong no matter what! You can do this!

Re: Tuesday Roll Call

Morning STACers, Sandy hang in there, keep fighting for this, stay close and post, every day all the time....Exercise every day, it will bring about a sense of control and power...Just don't quit! It's a long journey, but it needs to be a lifestyle. You have to go after control and work hard til you've got it all back....You've probably got enough carbs back to bring on the fatigue and it's sooooo hard to work it all out in that fatigued place....it's like lethargy just takes it all out of you!

Re: Tuesday Roll Call

I am good, very very good. I am going for goal this month and next. Gotta drop 7lbs to get my goalie sticker! I am focused and determined...The 10k race we entered is tomorrow downtown Atlanta. I am going with Adena and family...We are excited. I am considering a half marathon with Buffy67 in Feb....Off for a light jog this morning, just to loosen it up....Feeling good, organized and ready for these challenges.

Re: Tuesday Roll Call

Good morning everyone,

Sandy, I feel your pain and everyone's panic with the scales. It took me forever to get on track with this WOE. I rollercoastered with carbs for 2 years, and did nothing but continuously sabotage my self, and continue to gain. I think the turning point for me was my 40 YO Birthday pics....WOW, I did not realize I had gained so much. Just remember how good it feels to do this WOE, you don't have to feel bad after you have snacked, or had a big meal. Do this for yourself and your children. You can do this, I know can. All of you have been such mentors for me through this, so i'll be here for you to cheer you on.

Hugs, Michelle.

p.s. I gained 1.6 pounds overnight!!!!! I'm terrified right now.

Re: Tuesday Roll Call

Hang in there Sandy - you CAN DO THIS!!! Just remember that every time you cheat, you are making it that much harder to get back on track. I equate cheating with the dreaded "bathroom visits" and that stops me from doing it.

I am getting nervous about reaching goal....I haven't figured out my CCLM or CCLL and am still losing at a steady clip. I had thought it was slowing but that was just TOM and my week away I think, because a week of back on track has jump started me again. 5 more lbs to go to goal!!!

I really need to get over to fitday and figure something out LOL.

Re: Tuesday Roll Call

Sandy, its tough to get back on track, but you can do it! I also had a few weeks without any scale movement. Yes, it bothered me, especially when others lose sooooooo quickly. I thought about sabotaging myself...going on a binge since it didn't seem to matter. But you know what kept me on track? I remembered how CRAPPY I felt all the time when I ate the old way. Nausea, stomach aches, bathroom issues, exhaustion, etc, etc. So, I decided that even if I am not losing, I will stick with it b/c I DON'T EVER WANT TO FEEL LIKE THAT AGAIN!!!! And, you know what? The scales started moving again!

I LOVE waking up each day ready to go!!! I don't feel sluggish all the time, I look forward to going to work and enjoying my day (yes, I like my job...lol), I love working in the garden all weekend IN A TANK TOP (this chick hasn't put on a tank top in a looooong time)...

Anyway, sorry for the rant...

Looking forward to the 4th...having some friends over for a BBQ, then the in laws are coming this weekend!

XOXO
Lisa

Re: Tuesday Roll Call

Can anyone join in on this thread?

If so I'm feeling much better today. Went to bed at 8.30pm last night with a killer headache and no energy. Woke up this morning, feeling great and am already almost drank 2 litres of water. Considering this is my 2nd day back on Atkins, I think I'm doing pretty well. The last time I did this diet I felt horrible for a week. I'm hoping when I step on the scales this time my plateau will be over for good!

Re: Tuesday Roll Call

Morning, I think I am going to start a new show, the slowest loser, LOL. Its an excellent way to learn patience. I FINALLY am back to the weight I was before I gained those 3 pounds back. Had to up the fat and *shocker* drink water. The scale battery ran out yesterday (probably the best thing that could happen) I won't lose any weight for a week now anyways, I think 1/2 of every drink I had yesterday stayed in me. Going to be another rainey day, so much better than the usual 100 degrees this time of year. Hang tight Sandy, you know you can do it!!!!

Re: Tuesday Roll Call

Good morning everyone!

Today is going to be awesome. I took power back from my expenses last night. I've been stressed about my budget, etc. Well, last night, I woke up at 2 am and I said, this is it. So, I reworked my budget and I got a handle on it!

I'm not going to be strapped down anymore. Not from money, sugar, carbs, jerky men, all of the above. I'm ready to live again. Free from the opinions of others.

Have a great day everyone!

Good luck tomorrow, Jess!

Re: Tuesday Roll Call

Good morning, all.

Sandy, I mucked up last night with pizza while with my family. #1 brother and his family are here visiting and I just went along with the supper they all had. This is another life-style change I have to start working on - having legal foods ready to go and actually bringing them with me. I'm good around the house but when I leave, the opportunities to mess up starts happening. So my clean induction isn't clean, I basically get to start over again. Just dealing with it and move on. Little changes will all add up eventually.

Oh, and "believing" is hardly enough. We have to DO it, too. I can "believe" until the cows come home that I'll be in a size 8 but as long as I shove pizza in this face, it ain't gonna happen. "Just do it!"

Welcome, Caitlin.

Re: Tuesday Roll Call

Good Morning All,

What was it about last night? My DH helped me overt a disaster by giving me his burger and opting to eat something else. I ate mine and was ready to root through the fridge for something bad...I was so HUNGRY. So, after burger #2 I was full and thankful. I guess "hungry" still happens and I need to be more prepared for it. Because we just returned from vacation my refrigerator is empty of fresh veggies and haven't had time to hit the store. Planning a trip on the way home from work. Raw celery only just doesn't cut it for me.

Here's to keeping on plan today and drinking LOTS of water.

Sandy, look back on how well you have done so far (and you HAVE done well!). Sometimes seeing what could happen by messing up the good work we've done keeps us from falling off plan. Remember, this is for YOU so be selfish and treat yourself RIGHT.

Re: Tuesday Roll Call

Good Morning to all of you! My Three year anniversary of doing this woe and wol is coming up on 07-07 and am relating to everyones triumphs, disappointments and struggles. As long as you stick with it, you'll get to goal! Sometimes we have to do alot of soul searching and prioritising to plan our journey. We discover so much about ourselves and our bodies along the way, so many hurdles and hoops to jump through so to speak ,but we eventually succeed! My advice is KEEP AT IT! I'm cheering you all on. We're all in this together. Wishing All of you a safe and legal day!

Re: Tuesday Roll Call

Morning everyone. On vacation this week, and we are actually taking off for a few days as a family to the gulf of Mexico. I'm more excited than a kid! I did nothing but rush around yesterday shopping for the things we will need, and hadn't planned that out well at all. First, I'm way behind in getting this together, and second I hadn't eaten since early morning and I had to resort to a four piece McDonald's chicken mcnuggets and water for my supper. It was terrible, but it was the closest place and I was starving by 7 p.m. I don't know how many carbs are in those things... at least it tastes like chicken. No, I'll take that back... they say it has chicken in it, but tastes like cardboard.

Welcome to any newbies. Hope you all have a wonderful 4th!
