Nasty habit I have.

Well it has been a shaky 2 weeks for me. I have a problem with rewarding myself with food when I lose weight and it did not help that TOM was came right  after I lost 8 pounds.  So I have gained 6 pounds over the last 2 weeks. (I did not weigh in last week so it could have been more) 

My goal is to lose 1 to 3 more pounds by next Monday for my September total. 

If not I am good with the knowledge that I have not gained for the month and will have a loss for Sept which is consistent.  I am not losing what I would like to each month but I am losing something each month.  

I am not going to gain anymore weight this month.

Hi Molly-

Keep thinking positive!  Take a moment and write down a few ideas of how you can reward yourself with something else besides food.  Here are some ideas:

Pedicure
Manicure
Facial
New outfit
New hair do
New CD
New DVD
etc...

Increase your protein and exercise and focus on the end goal!  You will get back track and be successful.

I leave you with this affirmation ~ I choose to make positive healthy choices for myself!

Celebrate in your current success and continue to look for inspiration with your WLS friends!

I wish you continued success..  :)

Hi Traci,

Thanks so much!!!  I know these things, but some how they are not as good to me as my food.  But I have to get the food reward stuff out of my system.  I will continue to think postive and thanks againg for such encouraging words!!
