How Long Can You Go???

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Morning everyone!

Roxy, congrats to you!! Three weeks is a great accomplishment! Keep going!

Kat G'morning to you! Are you gonna have a great day?

kislandmom, have you thought about posting your menu for people to check out? Maybe someone else can see something that might be causing problems.

dotsamantha, good for you for making your food to take to work...I've found that's the best way to stay cheatfree! Kudos for another good day

booklady, sorry to hear about your slip, but congratulations for getting right back on track. That's the way to do it!

As for me, I'm doing pretty well. The ice cream I had last night was pretty good, and the portion size (1/2 cup), which used to look so tiny before I started eating normal portions, was just right. So far I haven't felt any odd effects, but I'm still keeping an eagle eye on it. I don't want anything to stand in the way of me losing weight. If I can have a little treat without ruining my hard work, great! If I can't...Mr. Sink will be melting it for me.

I hope you all are planning a wonderful, cheatfree day!

Good Morning & Good Evening Everybody!!

Stephie, Everything will be alright. You took initiative and kept it real and now you're back on track. Remember the awful feeling so you won't cheat again. Congrats on your clean Day One!!!

Still on it everybody, and I'm feeling thinner, the scale is the same, today I will (if I can remember) buy some horseradish so I can get a nice whoosh! Going into Extended Induction on the 4th.

Thanks Christine for keeping up with the stats!

Good Luck and Be Blessed!!!

Kat – Woohoo on another 4 pounds lost! That’s awesome! You’re doing fabulous!

Terry – I agree with Star. That two week blinkie is a ginormous thing. Congrats!

Christine – I hope the ice cream doesn’t give you any problems. It’s always nice to have a little treat.

Stephie – It’ll be good to see your 1 day blinkie. You’re right to not beat yourself up about it. Shake yourself off and learn from what you’re going thru right now. Congrats on day 1!

Kislandmom – Darn! Two pounds up stinks royally. It’s probably just hormonal or water. It’ll come off again. Kat is right, check your inches, you’re probably still losing.

Roxy – WooHoo on 3 weeks cheat-free! Go girl! Ya gotta love back-of-the-closet clothes!

Ok, now I guess I get to update. I have a confession to make. Yesterday evening after I got home from work, I wanted a snack. I grabbed some pepperoni and sat down for awhile, but that wasn’t quite enough, even though I wasn’t hungry. So I started opening cupboards. As I stood staring into the pantry, my eyes alighted on the granola bars. My mind immediately went to ya’ll and how I’d have to confess. But then the little granola bar said that this one time wouldn’t hurt and I wouldn’t have to tell anyone. I could keep it a secret and just go on pretending I was cheat-free. I thought about it long and hard, but in the end, the granola bar lost. I closed the pantry, made me a cold drink and changed clothes and exercised.

I realize that it would have been very easy for me to cheat and lie about it. But I knew that not only would I be lying to all of you, but I’d also be lying to myself. And I also knew that that one little granola bar would turn into many more over the next few days. I’ve learned that I now have determination, cause is took a lot to pass up that cheat.

I’m 3 weeks strong and don’t even want to turn back now.

Happy First Day of August everyone!

Have a terrific, cheat-free day!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

In the middle of another cheat free day.

It's really fun finding all the legal things to eat that I used to avoid. For lunch today I made fried green tomatoes and they were awesome. I dipped them in egg and then coated them with parmesan cheese. I'll be raiding gardens for more green tomatoes now!
