Tough Diet Day!!
Okay I need some encouragement, or a kick in the butt! I did not have a good diet day! Help! I wasn't even able to get any exercise in today. I don't want to beat myself up, but I am. I feel so good about myself when I have done it all the way I am supposed to. Then I mess up, not all that often, and I beat myself up about it. What are some things I can do to make it all better! I need some get on track suggestions.
I am about eight pounds from my goal weight of 158, that is 222 pound weight loss. So, I am not gripping. But, will I make it? I always try to stay so positive about it, but today has got me down. Maybe it is just the weather? Maybe I just need some new clothes?

OMG!!! Okay... first... you need a new profile pic.
2nd.... 8lbs from GOAL?!?
3rd.... 222 lb Weight Loss?!?!?!
WOW!!! You are such an inspiration and a motivator, I don't know how I can encourage you, but here goes... Okay, so you had a bad day! GET OVER IT!!! Don't let a bad day become a bad week. Focus on getting in your water, eat your protein first, yada yada, you clearly know the drill!!!
Girl, you have got SOOO much to be proud of! I am soo happy for your success thus far. No, you have not reached your magic number of 158lbs, but you WILL! I know you will! I am in complete admiration of your accomplishments.
Lately, I haven't been as *good* as I should be and I am FEARING the day it catches up with me. Reading your post has really given me a boost to get back on track and stay there. Today was a pretty good diet day for me, even though it wasn't 100%, I am okay.
We know this is a LIFE LONG battle and like I said, we can't let the days turn into weeks and the weeks into months. Tell yourself that you ALLOWED a few splurges and know that it is OKAY, but can not become the habits that brought us in to Dr. B's office to begin with!
I am right there with you girl, just a few steps behind! Hang in there!
And, yes, new clothes always work for me! :)
Hugs!

48lbs lost PRE-OP - LBL on 3/24/2011 -- 11lbs of skin removed! 
Funny, I read your story after writing a reply to you. We could have been twinkies!! Our journey's even had many things in common. You have done amazing too! Do you go to the WW support groups? Have we met? At my start, I weighed 388, had to loose 39 prior to surgery. I had always been the big girl too. 5'8 and big for my age. But, I was always happy! I have a very loving husband, that has literally stood by me through thick and thin!! I used to say it was amazing I was so healthy at 388. No high blood pressure, no diabetes, etc... Just blessed!
Thanks for the reply and words of encouragment! Sometimes, I know that I beat myself up. It does help to get it all out there.
It has been a much better day today. I have not had time to exercise the last several days, and I think that is bothering me too! Someone, once told me to fall in love with my treadmill...and I have! Today, I was able to stay on the plan and drank all my water! I know the drill so well!
I am very pleased with my progress and surgery. I have done well, but, I still don't trust myself. That is kind of sad, I know. I never had a goal weight for so long, I kept myself from making one. Now, that I have it is driving me crazy to get there!
I had my surgery, the sleeve, in June of 2009. So that makes me about 17 months out. It has been an amazing journey. Dr. B did my surgery, and yes he is the greatest. I feel like it is amazing, God took me exactly where and who I needed to go to. He is a good balance for me, direct and kind! I used to let people discourage me. He has been nothing but encouraging!! In fact, the whole office staff is amazing! I love that Barbara, that helps with the vitamins and food. She makes me laugh and is so sweet. I feel blessed to have gotten to know them all!
I can't seem to get a new picture to go on my profile. It says always gives me error message that it is too large. Any suggestions?
