HOLD MY FEET TO THE FIRE! ACCOUNTABILITY WEDNESDAY
Accountability Mission: No Mercy and No Excuses
There have been a few Newbies around and I'm sure there are others lurking who have yet to come out and say hi. It is never too soon to start being accountable. This is true even if you have not started the pre-approval diet yet. This is true even if you never plan to have wls. Feel free to come on out and post. If you post or just lurk, you are always accoutable to yourself.
I will now return to the regularly scheduled thread:
Tell the whole truth and be accountable. Have you made good decisions so far this week? Has preparation paid off? Has lack there of created unwarranted issues?
This is where I get lazy and re use last weeks verbage We may never be all there when it comes to thinking like a thin person. Our dysfunctional eating patterns are deeply ingrained and may continue to re emerge. Be prepared. Have a back up plan to your back up plan. Its not the one slip that leads to ruin but the one slip where you just stay down.
...All are welcome, jump in at anytime.

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Sit back or skip it folks. I'm in a mood and I have something to say.
My screen name MSW has been followed by several comments. Will Not Settle is my personal affirmation that I will not settle for being overweight. Not that many people read my tiraids ranting and *****ing etc; but, be clear that this is NOT a criticism of anyone's personal goal weight.
My bmi is once again in the overweight category by three of the nine extra pounds I'm carrying. I know, I know, in relation to this site I'm not very big. In reality I'm bigger than I should be by 10-15 lbs. Two plus years post op with under 100 lbs total wl needed. It is frustration beyond belief.
Recap as if anyone on BAF did not already taste this whine: I loose excrutiatingly slow then gain up to 15 lbs rapidly; loose again and repeat. I'm still 8 lbs shy of getting a 20 lb gain off these thighs. Yesterday I had a long detailed talk with my endocrinologist.
She is the third doc to tell me that's just how I'm made. Plus its agravated by medications. She is the only doc to explain in detail why as it applies specifically to me. I've only been seeing her six months or so but she noted I have all the signs of untreated long term hashimoto's thyroiditis and long term steroid use. Both conditions fight weight loss and make it painfully slow in an up and down cycle. I won't go over the mechanics of metabolism here but it is a far better explanation than that's just how you're made.
Bottom line: I can and will make my goal if I keep doing what I' doing now. The big however is it will and must be an extremely slow process. I may not be a stable 10-15 lbs lighter for another year. Or two years.
Why? Set points. My body is attempring to weigh 160 lbs. If I won't eat to 160 lbs it will fkcu me over with insulin resistance so it can store fat and I will gain weight or fail to loose weight doing the right thing. My body is working to slow metabolism; however, if I don't break and continue to behave like a 130 lb woman who exercises I will win the war.
Sooooo, giving up will make things worse but further cutting back or ramping up workouts to increase burn will also make things worse. I need to live in maintenance of my final goal over the long haul. She gave me guidance on how to do this as best for me. My weight will eventually catch up by going down. My smallest clothes will eventually fit for good.
If you are frustrated and ready to give up think about this. All of my unrelated docs have independently stated I should eventually be a very healthy 130-135 lbs as long as I keep living to plan. Try living the life of someone who is already where you want to be. If it can get me there with my issues it will likely work for you too. Just bear in mind the time line may be a non issue for you too. It will happen when it does.
I guess its time for me to stop stressing or at least try. I have detailed knowledge now. I'm going to put it to good use because MSW will not settle.

That is really good news. At least you know what's going on. Why its going on and what you have to do to get where you want to go. You don't have to ask yourself are we there yet because you know the trip is going to take a while. You will be there when you get there.
Bottom line - you can get there if you are patient and don't sabotage yourself.
It's good information for all slow losers. We know you won't settle or give up. Congrats.
