Confession and how could I be so stupid?

My wt loss has been kinda puny lately. I'll be six months next week. So today I thought I should really get back on my doc's website and see just how bad I've been eating. ARRRRGGGGGGH! No wonder I haven't been losing very fast. Too many calories and too many carbs, the evil things. I think it started when we had Casey put to sleep in early Sept. I just didn't have the energy to even look at the web site let alone record what I've eaten. Bad mistake. But I'm getting back on track now. I will faithfully record my food and I will exercise. Today after work, Sunnie (the new collie) and I went for a pretty long walk. I must have pooped her out because when we got back to our yard, she sat down and lifted up one paw as if to say, enough! I had hoped to be down 90 by my six month, but because I've been in coasting mode, I won't make it. But I can still make 100 by Christmas. You all have my permission to kick my skinny butt if I don't get back on track. I know all I have to do is to ask and I will have lots of support from you guys. So I'm asking! I've been depressed because of Casey and not really realizing it until we got Sunnie. I think I'm better now. Promises: I will faithfully record my food. I will faithfully come here to get support. I will faithfully exercise at least 3 times a week. I will not eat carbs! I will drink more fluids. Hugs, Lyn

Good luck, Lyn!!! Let's consider those as Thanksgiving resolutions, since New Years is not quite here yet!

Hi Lyn, First off you aren't stupid!!! Dang girl you've been doing fantastic. Figure we are all human! You will do just fine now that you are back on track. Good luck & keep us posted. Bet that Sunnie is just loving this extra attention. Carolyn

You are not stupid! And you have to remember one very important thing.....You are super close to your goal weight, it is going to get very slow from here on out!!!! The closer to goal we get, the harder our bodies holds on to the pounds! You have done excellent, keep up the great work...... Jesi

Lyn...Your are doing great gf!!! No need to kick your skinny lil butt, your getting back on track so thats good enough! Like Jesi said the closer you get to goal the slower the weight comes off...trust me Ive been in this rut for a longggggggggggggggggg time now!!! Sounds like your new love has alot of character, I totally understand the depression you are/were going through with the loss of your dog, hang in there!!! Hugs, Janet S

Ditto, ditto, ditto to everyone's posts, Lyn! You were in a rutt - and now are pulling yourself out. That's what we have to do. You have done wonderfully and are close to goal weight. Pat yourself on the back and start afresh with your new promises. God bless and good luck, Andrea P,.S. I can just picture your new little dog. Wanna trade? Mine's a pain in the patoottie - German Shorthair who thinks she owns the house. Heck, one night last week, I had my 2 year old sleeping on one of my chaise lounge chairs in the living room until I went upstairs to go to bed. I was doing some laundry in the bathroom and then came out to find that my son's blanket had disappeared. The silly dog wanted it, I guess, because I found her all curled up in the cozy blanket on her dog bed! She even had the blanket covering herself. Blanket theif!!!

Thanks for all your kind words. Every so often you just kinda need that, ya know?
