Today was the first difficult day I had since starting this mission. First mistake I made was getting on the scale. It read 216 and yet I know that I have not done anything to gain weight. I have been between 1200-1400 calories (with adequate protein and complex carbs) and have been exercising including weights so I know that I have not gained 2 pounds of fat. I know I haven't gained that much muscle either...so I can only attribute it to water weight or scale fluctuation. Either way...I have decided to lock the scale up in my storage. I need to weigh at a maximum twice a month. I am not claiming those two pounds back either. My goal is 180 by 5/24/10. I will make it. Might be adding muscle in addition to losing fat...so I can't be a slave to the scale. I am getting my measurements tomorrow too.
Reading the scale set off a craving in me something fierce. I wanted a HONEY BUN sooooooo bad. Thinking..well it says I am up 2 lbs...how much can a honey bun weigh
. I talked myself out of it...thinking about how I know that the Honey Bun would just make me lethargic...give me a sugar high and then crash..yadda yadda yadda. After a while it subsided.
I had a doctors appt today and on my way back to the office....Winnie the Pooh took the wheel and before I knew it I was at the outdoor market buying myself a piece of German Chocolate Cake. Not gone lie....I enjoyed ever last morsel. (I don't want to hear no wise crack either..when I saw that cake...I did not give it a second thought about who prepared it
) OK...so I had my treat...no need to say **** it and get too off course. Now I can get back focused and move full speed ahead.
The one thing that made me feel good at the doctors office was my weigh in. I got on the scale and the nurse put it on 100 to start. I said no...you need to put it on 200 to start... she looked at me and said "No Way!!!". So I guess I don't look as big as I think I do even though I am losing.
So for now I am going to track my food, my exercise, my H20. If I do the right things..the weight will drop. I will weigh myself again on the 28th and see where I am at then.
Thank as always for your support.
ETA: Thought of a plan for when I get another sweet craving. Bought some sugarfree fudgecicles on the way home. I remembered that along with my assortment of light yogurts they did the trick before...so all is good.

Love your commitment to getting to goal. No matter how many times you may err, you get right back on program. We all need that reminder from time to time that we can always pick up and continue once again.

That scale use to **** me up all the time. I would see a tiny gain or no loss and I would eat like a fat chick in a chinese buffet line.
I want to lose the same amount of weight you do but I don't know if it is even possible but I am going to keep trying.
You had your cake, now get your butt up in the morning and work it out.

Yes...will do....Lee....
I think it best that while we have a goal in mind...that we not focus so much on the number but on the things that its going to take to get us to get there. If we do our best to do all the right things ... hopefully we will be rewarded by meeting our goals or being very close to them on 5/24.

Hello,
I have been away from this site for a few years and I'm back now and wanted to say I appreciate you for posting this because it is truly inspiring to me. I know I am not alone. This encourage me to get back on the wagon and do what I need to do to loose the weight I have gained. I too want to loose 33 lbs to get to my personal weight where I felt the best. Thanks again. I'm going to update my page as well with new pics and blog info.
