Dear Friends

Here I am as of January 3 2011.  I have gained 16lbs.   Why you may as me or I may ask myself....Well the answer is simple.

1-I stopped visiting OH.  Stopped the support of you my OH friends.

2-I stopped support meeting

3-I stopped journaling food or thoughts.

4-I stopped caring for myself and just eat what ever I wanted

5-Thought I was above gaining weight

6-Hide from the scale

7-Hide from myself

Well this is going to stop..This behavior is no longer acceptable!!!

 

I promise myself in writting

1-More OH and less Face Book

2-Journal my thought

3-Journal my food

4-Try to move more then I do now

5-Enjoy life without extra food and drinks

 

I promise myself that  I will come to the boards and visit with you all.  Help who I can while helping myself.  I need to do this for me.  I know that I have come so far but there is more road up head and onederland is just around the bend.  I can hear the cheering I just need to keep moving to get to see the crowd waiting to celebrate with me.   I can do this 28 lbs is not that big of a deal.  It is easier then the 110 that I started with....28 more to go.  I can do it!!!!  I welcome myself back to the fold!!!  Thank you for reading and any help you wish to give me.

 

xoxo

Thank you so much.  Yesterday was a good day.  I wasn't 100% but I was at least 60% that is better then I have been in the past.  Keeping my head up and looking for the crowd.  I hear the cheer and I can see the  clearing in  this wooded forest.  I am almost out of the woods.

 Welcome back. Three cheers for having the courage to put it in writing and being accountable.
Good luck!
You sound like you are in a good place.
Woohoo for you.
Keep all of those balls in the air.

Thank you so much for the support.  The first step to accountable and success is to write it down and tell the world.  Once you put it out there you don't want to look like a fool and not do what you said.  I just handling one ball at a time too many at once I get side tracked.   Yesterday was a good day.  I wasn't 100% but I was at least 60% that is better then I have been in the past.  Keeping my head up and looking for the crowd.  I hear the cheers and I can see the clearing in  this wooded forest.  I am almost out of the woods.

Wow, you definitely have this all figured out.  You know where you went wrong, and what you need to do.  Onderland is also getting close for me.  Once I hit that goal, I will have to make another one.  Can't wait for that day.  My goal is to make it before summer is over.  Let's do this!  BTW, do you have a Bischon?  Loving my little damaged rescue.

Figured out  now way.  I am so far from figuring it out.  I just know what I need to do to get were I want to go.  I need to keep the goal in the front of my mind and not sit on my success.  That is what I have done.  Oh I look good so I  can just be....No I need to move and do what needs to be done because old habits never never never die they are always larking waiting  for you to lose sight of what you want.  Waiting for you to let down your guard and then the pounce.  16lbs of pouncing.  I don't want it to be more so I must get back in focus.   The first step to accountable and success is to write it down and tell the world.  Once you put it out there you don't want to look like a fool and not do what you said.  I just handling one ball at a time too many at once I get side tracked.   Yesterday was a good day.  I wasn't 100% but I was at least 60% that is better then I have been in the past.  Keeping my head up and looking for the crowd.  I hear the cheers and I can see the clearing in  this wooded forest.  I am almost out of the woods.  

 

Yes that is Mae Mae and she is a Bishon and  a rescue too.  Aren't they the most loving Dogs.

Welcome back!!!   

I go to Weigh****cher's for this reason -- I MAKE myself go at least once a month to check in -- because it is so easy to think that we don't 'need' support anymore -- and to let time and a hectic life get in the way of taking care of ourselves.

I am so proud of you for getting back here and 'coming clean' with your new plan.
I know that you will be successful!!!!
