Happy Monday Julies's Thoughts :)

So my Sunday morning routiene encludes waking up and going to the gym. WEIGH in and work out. I weighed in and once again 178! I talked to the Girl there and she said Jules you dont have really any more to lose (But i think i could lose 35 more pounds to hit my goal) but she said she only really saw skin...(ugh) So i decided that i cant keep stressing over this I am looking great feeling great and doing what i should. If i were to never lose another pound whould i be happy with my outcome...OF COURSE!!!!! I dont even know whne i weighed 178 ever!!! so wearing an 8 and being this person i think I AM OK WITH! I cant push myself to get to a place where my body cant go..you know. SO anyway on this day i want to try to be ok with this new me. and let me just tell you i was checkin some of you Chics out WHOLY COW BATMAN!!!!!!! you guys look GREAT!!!!! I am so proud of all of you. now the hard part comes...proving everyone wrong...that we can keep it off and we will NOT be the ones who gain it back. You know i hate hearing that from peeps how they know someone who had it and gained it back....SO WE MUST PERSERVER!!!!! HAPPY MONDAY AND HAPPY OCTOBER!!!!! J 271...and happy with 178!

Hi Julie, I think you look really amazing, but you know I'm a lot heavier than you are so to be where you are now, is like a FANTASY for me. By the way I had a total snack session the other night too, feeling super guilty, and then got my period the next day too.... HA! I was like... OMG, what am I doing? why am I so hungry, I'm eating everything in sight! And the next day I was like, I know exactly how Julie feels. LOL!

NOT that i am happy you did that but YEAHHHH its not just me lololol there is safty in groups lol. and gf i think you look so amazing!!! and thank you for the compliment!!!! i wish oneday we could all meet!!! J

Julie, You're doing wonderfully and look absolutely great! Our biggest job is to love ourselves and accept ourselves. That to some may be harder than going through the weight loss. I learned a long time ago that I had to forgive myself, I work on that daily actually cause I cannot believe how heavy I allowed myself to get. On the other hand, I am taking charge of this body and doing what I need to to become healthy again. I am very proud of that, and I know that is what you have been doing as well. Tonight I had a snack attack and ate some chocolate squares. I am done though, I will go back to my water and my protein and the food that is good for me. I don't get pms cause I had my gear removed...mine was stricktly emotional. I've been a bit upset with my husband but I think I'm ok now. Anyway, if we can manage to get over those little hurdles in life...just like getting past the impulse items in the stores, get past those impulses to put something in our mouths, we will be fine. I've found journalling to be my best outlet...sometimes I talk to my friend or my sister about things but the journalling feels the safest. I don't have to worry about my frustrations getting out to someone who shouldn't know about them. I declare tomorrow a better day and as my favorite movie Too Wong Foo....I think tomorrow is Say Something Hat Day! Have a good one. Lori
