The wedding last night was OK. At the ceremony, the priest knocked over 3 candles and I thought was going to burn the church down.

I did receive a lot of compliments about how good I looked.

*GEEESH* Really - lol - and he shoudlnt be the nervous one - I wold have been worried as well - how did the bride and groom and everyone else handle that ???

Excelletn on the compliments you are looking great by the way !!!:drooling: This emot isnt really sexy or cute or attractive it looks like someone getting sick - LOL!!!
 
It was great to see your new picture Cannon. It really is exciting to see someone making progress with something life changing like this. :)
 
Well, I understand you had to pace yourself with those light beers--and it's a good thing the church didn't burn down! Glad you weight didn't go up. have a great weekend!
 
Congrats on the compliments, and doing well at the wedding. Glad you had a good time,and that the priest didn't turn up the heat on it!!
 
Had a moderately bad day yesterday. Too much food and not enough exercise. I got up early today because I'm going to shop so I can lay in some healthier viddles and then I'm going to walk.
 
Hi Cannon. Sorry you ate too much yesterday, but today's a new day. Take a long walk, and you'll feel much better.
 
Hi Cannon! I read that you took a ballroom dancing class. I tried to talk my husband into taking them with me. They have them here at the local YMCA. I think it would be tons of fun.

Way to go getting back on track. Those light beers didnt do much damange. One day at a time!
 
I drank Fourteen 16 oz. Coors Light yesterday and I planned it. I don't even care how many calories they were. I don't 'diet' so therefore I have no guilt. Part of having a new 'lifestyle' is enjoying the 'life' part of it.

I see no reason to lose all this weight just to sit at home and count calories, yanno ??

Sorry, I'm not passive about the 'Tomorrow is another day' garbage over-ratedness. Tomorrow is just another day to eat well or drink 20 beers - the choice is up the individual. Nothing wrong 'planning' a day not to lose weight, you'll go nutso if ya don't have freak time days.

Keep your ebb and flow Cannon, in the grand scheme of things your way works for you in the long term.

Well either way,tomorrow is another day,regardless of what you do with it. Tomorrow is what you make of it, and it simply means that there is no harm in falling off the horse,and getting back on. No need to be nit picking.
 
I actually think you're both right :). I am aware that this is a lifestyle and like I say, "Its more important to get back on the wagon than it is to not get off in the first place." The problem is that after doing very well with 2 social events, I did very poorly yesterday. I sat home and played video games most of the day and overate because I wasn't attentive to what I was eating. Today has been better. The problem wasn't the overeating it was the lack of attention in my mind.
 
My weight loss shrink once told me that no one gets where they want to be, by doing everything they are "suppose" to do. Something like that. He told me to lighten up on myself, and just do my best "most of the time" and that will work just fine. I'm still trying, but thought I'd pass the rhetoric along. I agree with Trucker, you got to live once in a while. The good thing about you is that you do do well "most of the time." You're in it to win it!! Thanks for your support in my diary, I appreciate it.

Howdy sorry about the bad day! We all have them
and we get through them and move on and do even better,pushing
ourselves harder toward what we want.Hope you enjoyed Memorial

You nailed it Cannon...it's the attention in my mind that is the key for me also. Relaxing once in a while works for some people, but it is not an option for the likes of me, because I'm an addictive binge over-eater. I have gone down the slippery slope of overeating a hundred thousand times. So attention in my mind is crucial to long-term success.

Isn't it weird how we can succeed at social events ... or in situations that require extra attention, and then lo and behold, we have a silly day at home and bang, temptation sneaks up from behind and zaps us. It's the weirdest thing. For me, sometimes I think it's my effed up mind whispering "you did real good at those social functions, you deserve a little treat". It's insane how powerful the mind is, how complex it is, and how mindfulness is the key to success in almost everything. The stress of the social functions likely caused you to need relaxation. I share your challenge to find new ways of relaxing...because I've always related food with relaxing. A soak in a tub, a walk with the dog, a nap!

Hey, tomorrow is another day. For everything. Whenever I feel like a complete failure at work, or in relationships, or in anything, I always tell myself the gift of a new day brings with it the opportunity to make things right, or improve things. It's a saying that I use to convey confidence in my ability. And I just want to tell you I am super confident in your ability. It's amazing to me how much strength I have drawn from you and this forum. Have a great Tuesday Cannon.
 
I do think my diary has become a debate over "Tomorrow is another day" vs. "Doing well most of the time". To me there isn't too much difference between the two. I really am grateful for the support and the exchange of ideas. I think you hit it on the nail Ana. I have really worked on enjoying my meals. I literally gobbled down my dinner on Sunday while playing video games and couldn't tell you what it tasted like--that's a no-no. If I had ate the same food and savored it, I wouldn't be complaining. Today started out much better with a 2 mile walk. Hope everybody is doing well :)
