Wednesday Weigh-In's!

This month I got so frustrated with myself about giving in to those awful cravings that I actually marked the calendar so that I can pay attention next month and get prepared! When the PM****s I'll hopefully be ready for it and will be able to get all the sugar free chocolates out of the house. Any other time of the month I can be rational and keep it down to one or two of them a day but once the PMS gets really bad all bets are off. Molly

Sweet Heather... I'm cheering you on for April. Love you... Ro

HI MOLLY AND ALL, THIS WEEK IS A STAND STILL AFTER GAINING THE TWO POUNDS LAST WEEK. BUT I CAN'T EXPECT MUCH WHEN I DON'T PUT MUCH INTO IT. I TELL YA I AM GETTING SO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS WHOLE THING (I KNOW I SAY THIS OFTEN). IT IS SUCH A MENTAL ROLLERCOASTER FOR ME THAT I EVIDENTLY DON'T HANDLE WELL. I TOTALLY OBSESS OVER EVERYTHING I EAT BUT STILL EAT THOSE CARBS. MY EXERCISE HAS ALL BUT STOPPED, I DID GO LASTNIGHT BUT THAT IS THE FIRST TIME IN PROBABLY A WEEK OR TWO. NOW I AM STARTING TO EAT TIL I AM OVERFULL OR EVEN STUFFED (ENOUGH TO HAVE A BELLY ACHE) NOW HOW DUMB IS THAT? I ALWAYS TELL MYSELF, "I AM NEVER DOING THAT AGAIN" BUT THEN I WILL. I TELL YOU IT IS SUCH A VICIOUS (sp) CYCLE AND IT JUST DRIVES ME CRAZY. ONE DAY I FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT, THE NEXT DAY BAD ECT....... WELL ENOUGH WHINING I AM SORRY TO ALWAYS DO THIS BUT YOU GUYS ARE REALLY ALL I HAVE (WHO UNDERSTAND ANYWAY). HW 340 SW 330 LW 295 CW 295 VERY FRUSTRATED MINI ME

Melissa, do not worry to much about whining b/c we ALL go thru this every single day. I completely understand and I am very happy to know that I am not the only one struggling. BTW, is you current weight above correct? I sure hope it's not.

Beatriz, Duh I am totally crazy Thank you so much for bringing my weight that I logged in to my attention. I sure enough don't need it to be any worse than it is. :{ HW 340 SW 330 LW 195 CW 195 Mini Me

Hi, Mini Me... Wow, you sound really frustrated! Time to toss the bad carbs and reduce your pre-planned servings of "good" foods. Don't want you to give-up! Ro

Frustrations are exactly why we are all here for each other, Melissa. You go right ahead and vent any time you need to. Like Bea said, we do understand and we've all been there too. I fully believe this is going to be a lifelong struggle for me...I'll never be cured of my eating problems and will always be an obese person. Hopefully it'll just be in my head and not in my body, too. Have you tried the Five Day Pouch Test yet? I have only read about it and tried one day of liquids yet, not the whole program. If you ever decide to do it, you could probably convince me to do it with you fairly easily. It seems like a really good, short plan for getting ourselves back on track again. Hugs! Molly

I so understand how you feel. Some of the choices I make some times I think WHY WHY WHY but then I still do it. Lately I feel I have been really good and I joined and gym and have been going around 4 times a week and I am still the same or up and down. I did not go through this to weigh more then a lot of peoples starting weight. (yes I am tall but HELLO I am still in the 240s). For some reason I can not break the 40s and I feel once I do I will start losing again (praying I will) but other then cutting off a body part (arm, leg, 1/2 of my rear) I have NO idea how that will happen. I got on the scale this week and could have stood there and cried. I am over due for my year check up and I go this month and not looking forward to it at ALL. I would LOVE to try the 5 day pouch test but I just do not know if I actually could stick with it. I am not one who drinks protein drinks so that step is what is getting me. Have you found one you like? Hugs Diana
