    4 pounds away from Onderland...kind of scarry

    Today marks a moment of being 4 pounds away from Onederland, my goal to be at on my DD's birthday, July 26th.

    It's a scary thought that once I get there, sometime in the furture (if not on the 26th), there will be thoughts of "missing" being in the "comforts" of being in the 200's and fear of going back all at the same time. I know that sounds kind of weird if not confusing.

    Anyone else have thoughts like that, or is it me in my wild little bubble and I need to suck it up and get over it?

    Yea!!!!!

    Hey, I have that same goal. I don't like being a member of the "200 club" I was out of the 200's for over a year and creaped back in the last couple of months. That is what inspired me to join this
    I want to get out of the 200's and never return! I am at 201.

    You can DO IT!

      I do this:

      Think of yourself at your heaviest, just starting the diet and feeling miserable. Now think of the you today. Imagine the conversation the two "yous" would have about your post.

      Your heavy self would slap you and say, "Are you crazy?? I would give a million dollars to be under 200! I'm working so hard. Don't you dare mess it up for me."

      Imagine what the you at goal weight would say. She'd say, "Come on, girl. If you knew how much fun I'm having with shopping, sex, looking good...you wouldn't be scared at all!"

            You will definitely get there by the 27th! Be proud of yourself, you are awesome! Try not to be scared of going back up, it can happen if you stop low carb, but not if you keep at it. Good job!

              Oh Lisa, it's not just you!!

              I remember feeling very much the same way. I'd been over 200lbs for so long, it was a comfort zone and I wasn't sure what to expect from myself or my body when I dropped down under it. It *is* a bit scary!

              And suck it up and get over it anyway.

              CONGRATS ON BEING SO CLOSE!!!!

                        You're right...stopping the LC's woe is something that will most defiantley keep me in the "comfort zone" of being in twoville.

                            I can totally relate to how you are feeling. I don't miss the comforts at all. And I did use it for comfort, believe me.

                            And I'm just terrified of going back. I can't wait to lose a few more pounds so I'll feel like I'm far enough away from that 200 number that I don't have to worry about stepping on the scales one morning and seeing that I'm up to it again. I don't EVER want to see that number on my scale again!

                              That's kind of where my mind is...needing to get far away as possible to the 200s so there's NO way of returning.

                              You're doing an awesome job!!!!
