Struggling Badly

Re: Struggling Badly

How are things going now Jena? It has been a few days, I see. I hope you are feeling better about yourself. Remember that this is a way of eating, for life. There will always be slip ups. I know some people avoid them, but I am keeping the attitude that I will have a slip again one day, hopfully in the way off future. That way, I won't be surprised when it happens and caught unprepared. The key is to jump right back into where you were. Right back into it with lots of water. Don't let it lead to "well, now that i have cheated, I want to have..."

Btw, you are a beautiful woman, you!

Frankly, I think you should keep screwing up. You don't want to contnue to post progress photographs of your slimming body. You want to go right back to square one. In fact, you want the doctor to prescribe medications to keep you alive because you'll be so overweight that the pharmacist will even know you by first name! Who needs to tie their shoes? That's just a convenience. And just because people stand next to you during a windstorm for cover don't mean a thing. Small planets will succumb to your gravitational pull.

Why not?

Hee! Cleo, your reverse psychology statements make me laugh, and they remind me why I'm here in the first place. *g*

Jena, I hope you're still doing well! I know myself what a trial it can be when you've lost a good amount of weight, and suddenly you're a bit more willing to stray "just this once" and then days go by when you're off-plan. I did that myself a while ago, and all I got for it was a month with no weight loss, and a very bruised sense of self-worth.

Hang in there. The truth is that when we feel like we 'deserve' something to eat - we do. It's just not what we think it is at the time. We deserve to feel good about ourselves, and to not imagine that that sugar cookie is our savior, or our best friend. It never is. *g*

Be your own best friend. Do what's best for you, not what your mouth/emotions *think* is best for you.

I'm rooting for you!!

Re: Struggling Badly

Thanks for all the great support. Cleo, why must you make me laugh and think seriously at the same time. Geezy! I am doing well. I haven't been on here for a couple of days and I've missed the chatter. We've had ice and I've not gone anywhere and been lazy. At least I ate okay. I don't know about my weight. I think I'll wait to weight myself for about a month and see. That's not so important to me right now. If I do good, it doesn't matter what the scale says.
