to "2008"!!
not eating so much but abunch of empty calories............ cokes,fast food things like that.
Hilly,you are so not alone! I have lost like 70 lbs like BAM then have been bouncing from 177-190's for 13 months now it would be so nice to lose the 33 lbs and be done with it already BUT like you said I keep relosing the same freaking 15lbs that I gain and getting nowhere.Well I'm in a better state of mind today. I just have to get back off of the sugarI really don't know why.................................
I do so well and then all of a sudden I give up. I tend to lose the same 60 pounds over and over. Working in the chemical and oil field it's tough because you eat on the run and sandwiches and stuff are the easiest. I'm normally good until I hit a plateau or two and then suddenly just @$#% it comes to mind. I'm just sick and tired and maybe this last heart/ chest pain scare is what I need........... who knows.........
I have always had such a problem with sugar; it's like the first thing I always fall back on. Things like diet cokes just make me want the real thing even more. I wish I was one of the people that just had to lose 50-60 pounds. But me I have to lose a whole person; 165 pounds or better. It's just so damn frustrating. Well instead of setting up a ticker with a long term goal, I think I'll set up one with just small 40-50 pound goal. Maybe that way when I hit a plateau It won't seem like such a huge deal.
Hillbilly, I've been reading through and let me tell you I'm right there with you. At 31 I had a "Heart Event". I came through that ok. No damage to the heart or anything. After 6 weeks I maxed out the stress test and was released from my doctor. Major wake up call. I lost about 75 pounds. Gradually it came back. When I was 40, my mother pasted away from a heart attack. Major wake up call. I was at 298. In the next year I lost 85 pounds. We moved to NC and after 2 and half years I've let it come back again. So this will be the third time I've lost it. So for me this is going to have to be a lifestyle change that I stick too. My Dad died at 46 from, you guessed it. Heart attack. I'll be 46 this year. So it will be a milestone for me. But he never changed. I'm determined. So hang in there buddy, we'll do it together.
Happy New YOU!!
oh it does.................................
oh I'll be fine I always am for the most part. The hard part is when you live with a family of sugar junkies....... I try and give the other options but it's like pulling teeth with a tooth pick. So I try and eat right and it's daddy try this cake I baked or dad I bought a case of sodas you can have just one or or or uggggggg....... Best of luck to us both.....Sounds like a very good plan!When I 1st started I took baby steps I mean premie baby steps lol 1st week I cut my pop tp 1 a day then went to no pop then no junk food this was the hard 1 cuz I would start off slipping in atleast 1 candybar in the early part of the day until I found some healthier versions of the sweets I like.My point to this is just take one thing at a time until you feel like you can stay with your plan with out slipping too bad or at all.
I REstarted today and that 1st day ,well week is so tough but after that and you lose a few your 1st week that motivates ya to go on to the next week and the next!
OK I wish ya all the luck I know you can do it,
HAPPY NEW YEARS **HUGGS**TAMMY
Lol thats it around here. except the hubby part lol. But the wife will break down and cry if I just hint about a diet on her end........ UGGGGGggg
