 122..another record low day  

130.1 this AM.  Down from yesterday,  A surprise since I didn't have the best day yesterday.  I am convinced that walking really helps. 

I have been admitting to being off track and really trying to find the motivation to get back on track for weeks and then last night I read an inflamitory thread on the main board that made me realize I have to be a bigger girl than that...I have to realize I am blowing my second chance to keep diabeties at bay and give myself a better chance of surviving the invieatable heart disease (too stong of a genetic issue to complelty escape)...I have to accept it is my choice and not something that is imposed upon me by streses I can not control.

So yesterday at this time, I could not have brought myself to honnestly post this but I feel free of guilt by not hiding any more and empowered by claiming my own resposablity.

Thank you all for still being here. Friendly avatars are so comforting!!!




Highest Weight - 230
My Goal - 129
Lowest Weight 161
Today's Weight - 171 (ouch)

That's right I have gained 10lb in the last few months....ENOUGH!!!!!

I will only be checking in on Sundays fpr my weigh ins...I need to focus more on the other health benifits for while...when it becomes about the scale I get nuts!!!

I am so proud of you right now, I could give you the biggest hug.  Welcome back and it only took ten pounds to get you back in control.  That is great news.  It would usually take me closer to 50 before I would pull my head out and look around.  Congratulations for taking your power back.

Biggest hug returned to you....I used to have to gain it all back and then some and be miserable for a few years before I really got started....One of Heidi's threads really hit me hard ...it seems many were offended by her call to personal responsablity after WLS...I know that I have a tool and I currently have the ablity to use it...that could change becuase none of us have any guarentees...so I have to make hay while the sun shines....now if my kids will stop trying to drive me over the edge today... they may not survive....but I'm not eating

Hello all!

I've been AWOL, and I don't like it a bit.  My spending and eating have been a bit insane, and my scale is reflecting it.  I'm still in the 180s.  Boo!  While I haven't been here everyday, I have made certain to weigh in daily and track my food.  No hiding.  I'm committed to cleansing my diet of the random carbs that have snuck in as Spring has arrived and our social calendar has exploded. 

I have to find the perfect balance for Theresa when it comes to having fun and keeping my weight in check.

So here it is...

185 this morning.  Starting my two protein drink and one meal plan today.  Hopefully that will help lower the cravings and get me back on track.  Too much variety makes it harder for me.

Hope all is well.

Theresa

122. the ususal bounce around.  diane

I gained almost a lb yesterday. 135 today and it makes me really unhappy. I am going to do better today.

I had some bad head hunger last night that I gave into but I won't be doing that tonight. I so want to get back to 130 and I know I can do it!

yep. you can definitely do it. so go for it. and why does head hunger pop out at night anyway? seems like thats when it sneaks up.  Diane
