Brandy's Success Diary

FRIDAY- 211. 0
Saturday- 209.4
Sunday- 209.6

I can feel it. Tomorrow will be in the 208's.

My meal plan for the day:

Lunch: Tuna sandwich. No chips today!!!
Snack: Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie
Dinner: Something with meat and veggies. No fries/tater tots/chips for me! No pizza.

Exercise: I think I might go on a walk today with Dan's little brother. We've been hanging out a lot recently. Yesterday I took him mini-golfing.
 
Hey girl, don't stress about the weight. It WILL come off, but it won't happen overnight. You just have to keep plugging away at it.

I think eating at or below 1300 cals is not a good idea. For someone at your weight, you should eat around 1500-1600 per day. Otherwise you'll just mess up your metabolism, and that is a hard number to consistantly stay at--making you more prone to binging.

Those daily fluctuations in your weight are quite normal, so don't get upset by them. My weight does that all the time. It's not fat--it's water retention, changes in glycogen levels--and even lack of bathroom action..lol. If it's gonna bother you to see a 2lb gain in one day, then you should not weigh yourself so much. :)

I usually keep myself around 1600...I just ate 1300 THAT particular day. The gaining and losing of 2 pounds doesn't bother me at all. Not even a little bit. I just noticed that is was the 1.6 pounds difference EXACTLY all week. I don't care. I'm still happy seeing that, it took me a while to get out of the 213's to 215's.
 
TOM is creeping up on me. I ate really well all day, and then had a MAJOR munchy attack. I ended up partially controlling it. I made myself 1/2 pb&j; and a dixie cup (like the size people use to rinse out their mouths after brushing their teeth) full of ice cream. Not as bad as I thought it was going to be for me. No exercise today either because I've been working ALL day trying to sew a shirt for my anniversary. Tomorrow is job hunting day for me because I need a good job for the summer. And I will definitely go on a walk tomorrow.
 
Hey, WTG w/ controlling that craving!! :D Partially is better than a full out binge!!

Hey, its monday!! Its a new week, Lets rock it!!

Ok so I was close to that 208's feeling. lol. I thought for sure I was going to gain at the end of last night. TOM is scheduled for tomorrow..and he's been bugging me all damn week. I'm surprised I had a loss at all for multiple reasons. But I did, and now I'm at yet another newest low! :party:

I slept right past breakfast. Now its lunch time. I think I will go find myself something. I keep saying to myself "no chips no chips!"

Gutta go change my ticker!!!
 
Nice work on the steady decline scalewise!

I ended up with that chip, crunch craving the other day & ate some nuts. It was more nutritious at least. Also today they had some radish slices on the salad bar that hit the spot. Maybe some sliced something would work just as good as chips.

For me its the salty sweet cravings mostly around THAT time.
 
You are kicking the cravings' butt!!! I'm so super impressed! And CONGRATS on the loss, that's excellent. :) We're inching our way toward onederland!
 
Brandy, I'm so sorry you're going through such a stressful time! I've had the pregnancy scare before - just remember there are a LOT of things that can cause you to be late, a major one being stress. Plus you said that you were due on the 19th so you're only two days out. . . .give it a little bit of time. Take a pregnancy test if you're really stressing over it. Just doing a quick cursory google search, it looks like you can take the test as early as the day after a missed TOM.

*HUGS* :grouphug:

I'll be thinking of you today!!
 
I had a HORRIBLE day today. I will update details another time..but I'm not pregnant. I'm horribly depressed about it. I was stressed about the idea at first, then began to still stress but I liked..hell I loved the idea!! Now...after all I've been through over the past 24 hours (which is a lot more then I can begin to explain) I'm not even pregnant. Let's just say that the sadness in my heart isnt going away over night. I am going to have a better day tomorrow with food. As far as exercise goes--I will do what I can. But right now the depression is taking me over. Dan is going to massage me tonight and watch a movie with me to try and cheer me up. I've been breaking down in a flood of tears almost every hour. I'm very turned off to food at the moment. After my CRAPPY food day today, I'm sick of food as a comfort. SICK OF IT.
 
awww, i'm really sorry to hear about the rough time Brandy ((Hugs)) I really wish I could be there to help.

I'm here if you wanna chat, ok???

Try to get a good nights rest
 
Thank you Heather and Korrie. Today is going ok. I'm still really down. I cant describe it exactly. I'm just not my usual chipper self. After all that stress, I wanted to be pregnant even though it isn't the most opportune time. 800 calories so far today. Pretty healthy foods. No exercise yet. On top of being kind of sad.. I'm worn out. Emotionally and physically. I'm just taking it easy today. Hopefully tomorrow I will feel more up to exercising.
 
well i'm really sorry babe....i've been there before (wanting a baby) so i understand how you'd feel. Just b/c your not preggy NOW doesn't mean you won't get pregnant any time soon either...a little "work" ;) is all it takes!

I'm glad your not doing any emotional eating!! I'm proud of you!
 
its funny how a 2 minute decision to go to mcdonalds tacks on 1000 calories. Before that I was perfect!!! So I have tomorrows food already planned out. Grapes with 1 slice of PB toast. Yogurt and a salad for lunch. Dinner is undecided but I will allow myself 3 servings of anything starchy max. 2 mile walk, and strength training as well. Bad days happen. I just need to get back on track.
