been a week

ok, so this last week or two hasn't been so good. First, I am having trouble eating the foods I know I should. I just am tired of all the "dense" protein foods. I just needed something different. So I got those Kay's chips and stuff last month at the DR. Well, apparently I was not ready to crunch, because it has triggered my snacking. BIG TIME. In the last week, I am eating pretty much constant. Unfortunately stress has been high at work, and home- that isn't helping. Also All 4 of my kids have been passing around this cold so I havn't made it to the gym at all in like a week and a half. My weight has stalled. I was 218 at my last appt. I believe Feb 7. I am 215-216 today.  I feel like I have just stunk this week. I am supposed to go back to see the DR next Tuesday, and I really want to cancel, because I am so ashamed at my loss this month.  I am sorry to vent, but I just needed to get this off my chest.  I plan on going to the gym in the morning, and I know what I need to do, I just hope that I have the strength to do it .

Dianne,  I have felt the same in the past but I still went. I might have only lost a couple of pounds that month but it's still good to go and try to keep on track.  You are doing great. The journey has it's ups and downs. Don't beat yourself up so much. Wanda

Thanks Wanda,      I really just had a bad night. Been dealing with a lot lately and took it out in myself. This morning I am ok! I did my treadmill this morning, and last night DH took a few new pix. That was a big boost! And honestly for the first time, I SEE IT! I look so much healthier! That trumps the scale anyday!

Di: I had a month long stall so I know how you feel:  but you know when I started losing again 10 Lbs. came off in two weeks.  I'm sorry the kids are sick but get in any exercise you can:  I get to the gym 4-5 times a week ( have no SO or kids) and I think that when I was stalled scale wise I was losing inches because of the  exercise.  I am trying to get myself to exercise at home now that I am below the weight limit on the treadmill =)  I just need to move it infront of a tv now.   I also bought a WII so I can get Wii Fit when that goes on sale:  the Video looks like fun but quite a workout too.   Just don't panic about the scale.  Darla 

Darla,      Thank you for the lift! I have seen that wii, but I think I would kill myself! LOL! Oh the tv by the treadmill is a must, that is the only way I don't get bored. I hope that when the scale moves again, it move at least 5-6 lbs!  This Friday we are leaving for vacation, and I am stressed about what I will eat, and how I will exercise. Then my preschool class does a HUGE program every year, with like 300 people. Well this is my first year as head teacher, so this is the first time I have had to write the script. I am so nervous that I am going to screw this up. Our theme is "there is no place like home" and my class are all munchkins. I have 25 4 year olds. The 5 year old class is doing Dorothy, and all the other people. The K-3 class are all flowers. So I have to make an hour and a half long program, props, costumes, and have 300 happy guests when it is all over. This is in MAY, but I have to have the everything done by the end of March so we can practice. I am really REALLY worried and stressed over this.

WE ALL HAVE OUR DAYS AND WEEKS SOMETIMES. AT ONE TIME i WAS LICKING THE CHEESE OFF OF DORITOS, JUST FOR THE FLAVOR. PRETTY BAD I KNOW. DONT BE TO HARD ON YOURSELF.

Bonnie,  Thank you! I have to confess, I SWEAR you can ask DR. Roe. I told hom at my 2 week appt. I did the same thing. I was making my kids lunch and the doritos were calling my name. I licked them and threw them away.  Dr. Roe asked me why I would give them to my  kids , because if I shouldn't eat them why would I feed them to the girls. Seriously I thought I was crazy for doing that, I have to tell you I am glad that I was not the only one! 

Hang in there! You are doing so good, just wait, you will start loosing again soon!
