Poll: Who's "Slacking"?

I am also guilty, Since about Thanksgiving I been treating myself to some sort of dessert everyday. Sometimes twice a day! I Just this week did not buy any cookies, cereal bars or the like. And, so far when I've caved to the vending machine at work, its been only peanuts. For me, once you let suger in the door, its a slippery slope. Andrea

I binged all weekend. Today, I'm back on the wagon, and that feels great, but I know I messed up royally this weekend. It was very intentional binging too, as I went to the grocery with my son, who, bless his heart, asked," do you want to look like you used to, Mom?" Of course, the answer was "NO!" Did that stop me...NO! Dang it! However, I stepped on the scale today, and it read 7 pounds higher than it was last week. Now, this scale always gives me fits, because it's always off by 10 pounds and then it's normal the next day, or whatever...but still. 7 pounds?! Ridiculous!!! I've got to buckle down. I was doing well for awhile, but since I've been slacking on exercise, I really need to watch my intake. Of course, best case scenerio would be watching my intake and NOT slacking on exercise. Thanks for checking in with us on this, Becky! Julie

I didn't lose any weight since my 9th month and only lost 1.5 lbs from my 8th to 9th month. I have not been eating right. I had spring break and have been very upset w/hubby losing his job and my papa losing his. I turned to chocolate! I know bad. I turned to the peanut butter cup eggs for easter, and valentine's day. Sigh. I have one egg left. So I plan on not having anymore. I need to get my butt into gear. I am going w/hubby to apply for jobs w/him tomorrow. He needs support. And I really wanna be here for him. But w/the stress I turned to eating. Sigh. I will hopefully be completely back on track April 7th. That is the day his job is gone. I hope and pray that he gets a job soon, after all he has to give 2 weeks notice and his last morning is that day. So things will work out perfectly if he can have a job set for him around friday and he just says i have to give my 2 week notice. Plus I have been bumbed about college, i am not doing my best due to stress lol. Sigh. Thats life. I should deal w/it and not turn to food which I did. So I am going to try to get back to the basics. My goal is to before he loses his job. sigh. Kinda bad deadline lol. But I know I can't keep doing this to myself or I will gain all the weight back. Kinda explains why I haven't lost. I do exercise tho. Which is good guess if I didn't i would have gained by now. Sorry I'm going on and on. No excuse tho i should have been stronger! ~April~ May 13, 2005 21 yrs old, 5'1 231 / 141.5 / 120

I have to stop buying s/f cookies because of my inability to walk past them without reaching into the box. I am sure I waste a couple hundred calories per day in grazing alone. It's really hard.
