are we in Denial?

I have tried very hard to be honest about my failled weight loss and what I need help with but I just copied this from another poster and thought it would make us all sit down and re-evalute our progress and if it is at our best interest.

here are things I am doing well at and things I need to work on, how about you?


DOING WELL:
journaling (most of time)
staying within my calorie goal 1000-1200
not drinking with my meals
making good food choices
having low carbs under 30-40 gr.
Making protein my #1 60-90

NEED IMPROVMENT:
Making my exercise routine "Regular" and consistant
Alcohol at social events (not cross addition) actually have cut WAY back from pre op,
water EVERY day, I do great most of time, but do need help on some days
stay away from bad snacks (now holidays are over, all is out of house) chips, choc. fudge

MENTAL:
Good:  stay possitive
NEED help: easily distracted with friends around

 

ummmm!  Excuse me?? How do you figure 33 lbs is a failed weight loss?  

you know Kathy, i contradict myself all the time.  I say I failled yet I say im' happy.  so let me try and explain this.  I am happy, and I guess that is all that matters.  But, I feel I need to give up an excuse for others who need to loose 8 lbs a week and look at me like I"m a failure.  I really don't think I am, not at all.  I've heard so many say they were dissapointed cause they only lost 2 lbs this week. and I felt, boy, if they are sad about that, I wonder what they think about me. so, i'm guilty of being paranoid of what others think of my slow loss.  But, like I said, "I'm totally ok with my 33 lbs."  and I feel great, physically and mentally.... thank you... "your the Bomb" even with your gas and no belly button...  Love ya 

Yes you do!  But you are getting better!  Ha Ha, did you read that post I made about Carpet bombs on the RNY board?   THat was a funny thread..... they are so bad, I even gross myself out!! LOL 

Cheryl!  I don't think you are a "failure" at all!  You pick yourself up and keep going, no matter what!  THAT, in my book......makes you a COMPLETE SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!
