Someone tell my Head to Stop
I know I'm always the one to remain positive for other so WHY can't I seem to do that for myself.
The month of May has been a hard month. I've had the slowest weight lost this month and I know that I have contributed to it by not sticking to my program 100%. It's almost as If I'm allowing my head to talk me out of reaching my 100 pounds loss. It's such a milestone and I just can't seem to reach it.
I'm doing terrible with taking my vitamins and a few times I've fell off the tracking wagon. Tracking for me was hugh and I never missed a day, not even when I was sitting in ICU with my Dad when he was sick. Grrrr I guess I'm just frustrated with myself and I know no one can fix it but me.
I also know someone here on the forum has gone through something similar so I'm not completely alone. I think I just need a pep talk.
Kee.

You can either believe it will happen.....or believe it won't. Both are self fulfilled prophesies. For Me it has happened. My Surgery was September 21/2010
Kee!
You have always been a joy for me to read on this board, I truly wish someday to be on the losers bench and have the amazing attitude you do.
It is truly okay to have your bad days, please don't beat yourself up. You know you can do it, you have done it all along so far. Go look in the mirror, tell yourself you are wonderful (cause you are) and then start getting back on the wagon again with small goals. Make it a goal to get your vitamins in for 2 days in a row, then add meal tracking, etc.
I have just started my pre-op journey to get approved and I look at your tickers and photos (other peoples too) and it gets me excited. I cannot wait to be where you are, you have done so well so far. Don't discredit how well you have done so far just because your scale is not where you want it to be. Shoot for the stars! You can do it, you have been a rockstar and you still are!

I know the feeling this month the scale has not moved for me and this makes it hard to keep going. Looking at your new profile pic you look amazing. I know it is hard but be happy with the success you already have. You will make your milestone it is just that it is just so close and it is frustrating you have already succeeded with so much. I too am having a hard time with the tracking thing and unfortuately it does help so much when you do it. Monday is the start to a new week lets make it the start to being back on track.
Take care we will get there

Kee remember you body does have to take a break as well to adjust. Celebrate all that you have done so far , Youwake tomorrow morning and say to your self darn it I am going to get back on track today. I am frustrated and sad waiting for a call about my surgery date it seems to be taking for ever and some days it is hard to hold on and maintain the change. These changes are for life right so one day at a time and you will do it. Take care Shona

holy crap girl...don't think you are looking at those pictures objectivly.......wow, you have taken at least 10 years off your age....WOW......i can only hope i have results close to yours....jump back on the bandwagon girlfriend if you need to lose more weight....you are definately not fat anymore, you look frieken fabulous. celebrate how far you have come and treat your body to what it needs and it needs your vitamins and you need to keep track of what is going in.......you don't want to relaspe and go where you started, do what has to be done.......go girl! you can do it, you have done it, go as far and you feel you need to go, get back on track!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks everyone for your kind and encouraging words. I think sometimes we are our own worst emenies.
I've started back on the vitamins as of sunday night and I've added a B complex cause its good for helping with stress and God only knows I have enough of it right now. Small steps will get me back to where I need to be. Still hoping to reach my personal goal of 140 but hey if I've got to revise it to 150 I'd still be a happy girl.
Taking it one day at a time and lets see where that takes me in weight loss for June Month. I dearly hope enough to get me into the 160's, I'm tired of looking at 17's.

Hey Kee!
You can do it lady, you have done such an amazing job through lots of stressful times already.
Maybe you are at a set point.
I know I am sitting at one now, hovering between 215-218. I sat at this weight for about 5 years so my body is like right back in comfort mode.
I am going to have to be very patient to get past this set point and on to Onderland... and I am feeling mighty impatient already!!

Keelan,
I am very aware of how life can throw speed bumps in front of you. I am from the town of Slave Lake that was evacuated due to the distructive fires surrounding the town. We were evacuated away from home for 2 weeks living out of bags, in family, friends, and hotels. I managed to keep my weight gain to a minimum which I considered a victory. Tracking went out the window, and eating at regular times was impossible most days.
I was so frustrated and ended up having an appointment at weight wise in the middle of it. Sue was a great inspiration to me and celebrated that I have only gained .5 kg and I had showed up for my appointment. She helped me see that there is always times in our lives when we will have a hard time. We have to remember to get back on the wagon and start again, with a fresh start.
You can do this, we can do it together!
