Just venting

 Then kids just brought home a pizza from work.  Yea, both teenagers in my house works in a pizza place.  I complained of course, I don't want it in the house at all.  But I told them that any left overs I DO NOT want to see in the fridge.  And I don't want to see ANY left out, not even a crumb!  Once they eat whatever they are eating it needs to directly go in the garbage, no saving any of it.  Then I went to go get my bowl of oatmeal. I think I'm happily okay with it. 

I went down from 306 to 302 on the scale today.  Doesn't mean the plan is working yet, I always tend to lose weight fast after a big gain.  But of course I like it going down. :)

I was looking at my weight loss history on the WW web site since November.  It made me start thinking that I joined this board in October and have been trying since then.  Although I must say I haven't done it faithfully.  I've tried that doctor since then.  Also Flex which didn't work for me.  But any way, I haven't really lost weight the whole time since October, which really sucks.  Just like I said at the beginning when I came here, I go up and down ten pounds and stay there.  It said that I'm still six pounds away from my LOWEST weight at this moment.  argghh! 

I'm praying Core works for me.  So far so good.  I've been hesitant a few times, but have pulled through this past week.  I think I might like the idea that I have to stay away from all the processed and bad foods.  So far it's keeping me legit.  When I do splurge into them I can use my weekly points.  I think it might help keep me more on track. At least the points will be controlled.   I'm praying!

FYI- I think this is more or less a self talk.  This up and down ten pounds has got to stop.  I'm really hoping Core works. 

 

It's surely tough with teens in the house.. boy do I know it.  I hear ya....  I certainly do.  I've found myself saying the same things about leftovers and crap left out. Venting is good..and it's good to go back and see where you've been.  Whether or not you consider it "progress"... it's GREAT progress because you are learning about yourself along the way!  This entire journey will be the greatest exercise in self-discovery we'll ever experience!!! I think you're onto something good by staying away from processed foods.  It's such an arduous task when we have to wade through nutritional information and the language of ingredients.  The more simple the food .. the easier it is to know if it's good, bad or somewhere in between!

You did very well this week....  give yourself an ATTA GIRL for doing the do!

I'll pray with ya!!

I think it sounds like core is WORKING with you!  Take credit girl... YOU ARE DOING WELL!!!   FOUR POUNDS... that is GREAT!  GOOD JOB!!! The pizza... that sucks. We just have to be tougher than the pizza... and I hate to have to show up a pizza    Seriously- I usually cave... but I actually take paper towel and I dab ALL OVER the top of the pizza... I get off as much oil as I can... then I eat JUST the toppings LOL   Not sure if that is saving me anything but I hope it does   Dh went to a convenience store last night... at 9:00 p.m.... he wanted to know if I wanted any ice-cream! I said NO!   I came SOOOO close to caving!! He came through and I said: "What you bring me?" (kind of being silly but still WANTING some)                     Dd was up LATE and he got her one. Then she brought me one- thinking I wanted it. I told her "No thanks" and he said he got one for her, that one (for HIM- but for ME if I chose to) and himself some more (a whole Ben & Jerries!) and I bit my tongue SO HARD...  I worked and WORKED on a jigsaw puzzle till I went to bed. But I soooo DID want that thing!!! Hang in there! Until you feel strong enough- if that (throwing it OUT) is what you need to do... DO IT!    I think you are doing VERY WELL!

HollyRachel, Core really is a departure for me ... you can eat ---a if you want it.  I've had it a couple of times since starting Core.  But I do it in small doses and find that I am having it much less often.  Core has taken a lot of my cravings away. I put some tips for Core on my web site (newly updated), and I have a few links of other users as well on my Resources pages.  There is even an article on Core on WW's front page today, so it's definitely catching on. Good luck with Core, and let us know how you're doing!

Oh, Holly, I can soooo relate!  I am still 6lb from my lowest weight last September when I gave up WW....didn't return til December and was then up 15lb.  Been fighting like crazy to get those darn pounds off again.  Why is it so much harder the second time? I'm glad Core has worked for you this week....4lb is great!  I am thinking of doing that myself.  I'm trying to have my carbs all come mainly from fruits and veggies and my oatmeal in the morning.  Can't give up my oatmeal...LOL. Just got back from my WW meeting (-1lb) and it was all about perseverance through the rough times and the plateaus.  I have belonged so many times and never stuck with it to reach goal weight of any kind.  This time I'm determined.  I don't care if it takes me 3 years!!  I'm not gonna give up. Keep up the good work, girl.  We will do it this time....just can't get discouraged and throw in the towel.
