frustration

sticking with the diet eating correctly watching weighing measuring ecxersizing = lost .8

WTF

.8??!!??

thats POINT 8

ok so at least its .8 the scale went down.

gotta be positive!!

That's much better than gaining!!  Keep doing what you're doing and the scales will go down.

thank you judy for your encouragment.
i know that you and all of us understand how difficult it is to have lost so very much then gained a small amount back compared to that loss but the feelings of horror to have any gain take over our lives!
it seems like all i do sometimes is sthink about the weight and what i'm eating. it has become an obsession that i could well do without. but i do not know how to turn it off. it is what led me to become so stupid before.
so i continue to remind myself that i need to eat wisely and i do. every single day i fight the obsession with the scale. its not the food anymore that is my obsession!
now isn't that a riot???
if you think about it food was what use to rule my life. its what i thought abut every single second of the day. what i would eat when i would eat it how much i would eat and i never wanted to stop eating! sweets treats salty stuff you name it i thought aobutit. i'd go into a store to pick up milk and buy a box of cookies too then eat those on the way home from the store!
now i know what i have to eat its not the obsession anymore. i dont thnk about what i'm eating anymore. i just eat what i'm suppose to when i'msuppose to and i feel good. i dont' think about cookies anymore and I NEVER thought i'd ever stop craving cookies!
now its that scale. my obsession has tansfered from food to the scale.
maybe i'm just the obsession type of personality? i really do believe that.
well there are worse obsessions right???
maybe thats my new normal.

That is good news. 8 lbs down is for sure a good reason to keep doing what you
are doing!! Keep it up!!
