Do you have a freak-out number?
I have only gone through drive-thrus in the last year. Drinks only or a few times I did discover you can ask for a grilled chicken patty only at McDonald's for $2, rather than ordering a sandwich no bread. Go meat!

I am in that OH CRAP mode too! I was at 158lb afew months ago, sadly, and I said, no more! So I went back to little carbs lots of protein and then veggies. Lostweight and got back down to 145lbs! SO HAPPY! Well, i got too comfy and I began to let myself slip. I won't get on the scale, because i know by my body shape that i am over 150. I did get on the scale last week, and yes, i was 150, i feel that i am alittle more now, but I REFUSE to look at numbers, i just know. SO, back to the drawing board i go. And, walk walk walk! Good luck to us both!!!
I'm still working on losing weight, so basically whenever the middle digit changes I "freak-out" if it goes back to that middle digit again.
For example - right now I'm in the 150s, if I saw 160 on the scale I would freak out. :P Once I get to the 140s, it'll be 150 that makes me cringe. Etc.

I have a freak out number and then I have an oh **** number that I tell myself I will really freak out if I get there. I average anywhere between 128-132 since Christmas last year. If I see 133 on the scales I freak out slightly and start restricting.
In my head though I tell myself my freak out number should be 140. Reality is totally different. I can't let myself get there.

yes, 125 was my oh crap number. Then i had to have abdominal surgery where after weighed 130 right after dr told me to eat at least 1200 calories and max out my protein which I did. got up to 134-135. Not cool. Now I'm trying to get back to 125 but would prefer to be at 118 which is my lowest of all time.
