Struggling to get back on track

Hey Karla! How are you doing? Do you have a new date for your LBL? I am just about 5 pounds above my personal goal, but I don't want to let things get out of hand. I am going to begin to "Reclaim Your Pouch" (the plan that Dana from the TX board sent). It certainly seems a whole lot more doable for me than the back to basics. Lisa

Hi Lisa. I am too having a hard time getting back on track Every day this week I've said that each day is 'new', and that I'll get myself back on track. Each day I've found myself grazing, and I'm sure if I kept track I'd have to say I've consumed at least 2000 calories (or even more)! I think I need to start journaling what I'm eating, so that I'll be held accountable. I only made it to the gym 2 times this week, and I was going 4 times a week. The fat girl in me said -- 'what's the point'!! Damn I hate that fat girl sometimes. She can be an evil witch! Why is it she is louder some days then others? Susan

Hey Susan! I saw your pics the other day and want to tell you how very young and pretty you look. You should be so very proud!! I am doing the same thing with the grazing -- and it's not even good grazing (if there IS such a thing). I still have a fat girl living in my head, too, and I don't want her to come alive again. HER voice is the loudest one in my head most days, too. I can certainly understand. Lisa

Lisa, I am struggling to. Perhaps it is just because of where we are. I need to get back on track and as of today I will NOT EAT JUNK! I see my doctor on the 30th and do not want him disappointed in me... So I am really going to try hard. Good luck! Hugs, Chris

Hey Chris, I do think it's because of where we are to some degree. I think, on my part, that for the first time in my adult life I feel relatively "normal", if that makes sense. But I have to keep reminding myself and I am NOT normal. I can't ever eat my definition of normal again unless I want to be 340 pounds again. Good luck to you, too! And I hope your doc visit goes well! Lisa
