**end of the line**

Hmmm...that week from hell might just explain the snacking too...I know for me it plays a HUGE role! Last month, my daughter said to me, "Mom, is it almost time for you moon cycle?" Me: "I'm not sure Meg, why?" Her: "Because you're eating ALL my left over Halloween Candy!!!" ;) Oops, yeah, I guess it was time!

Anyway, you'll get through this, definitely going to sleep earlier helps, brushing my teeth earlier works for me too...especially if I go through the full floss thing - then I'm DEFINITELY not going to eat ;)

Good luck :)
 
I need to make myself realize that going to sleep early doesnt mean i have wasted my day-more like i've gotten the best out of it!

Yes, that's a good thing. I have been going to bed reallyyy late, I need to make changes. Glad you had a good night of not eating. Last night I was laying in bed, soo tired, and all I could think about was getting up to get some peanut butter. lol. I didn't, I guess I fell asleep. Your plans to stay on track look really good.

by the way...figured out why this week i may not see as much of a change--It's the WEEK OF HELL ...if you get wat i mean girls! yay for bloating! and excess water weight! oh well...hopefully when its done the change will be amazing!

Yes, that's the reason why I went on a hiatus in November, resulting in only a 6lb weight loss. I think I might actually have PMDD. My symptoms get so severe. At Curves they have a supplement that helps the body cope during that time of the month. I should seriously get it...

You're doing so awesome!!
 
thanx guys, i did my 1000 cals today and stopped eating at 7pm...good me, but my weight is as bloated as ever...maybe i'll see a change later...but not now--keeping up the good work..**as she grumbles**

the secret to my success as of late is keeping the future in my mind at all times...keeping my goal in the front of my head...not letting it slip... but man is there a lot of shit to get through...

goal for tomoro nite: sign up for grad school...no more procrastination!
 
does anyone know the pain of coming into work and seeing three different kinds of goodies on the counter...having a craving filled moment then attacking?! yup i just did it...but i am proud of myself...only went for half a brownie and half a delicious cookie...i still think the calories came out to 150...but i'll blame it on the period...

last night's update: didn't over eat last night..but got about 6 hrs of sleep only =-( oh well...
but...i was visited by the emotional overeating monster last night-no i didnt do any overeating-but I calmly stared the monster in the face, with more confidence in myself-but the fear was still here. the fear that i would over do it-i think that will stay with me for a while, but i need to fight it. i openly talked about it too-i told my bf that since i was upset last night it made me want to eat to make it better, and that the happier i got the more i wanted to eat to make things even happier-wow-have i really programmed myself this way ?! for how many years!?! I stood my ground yesterday-and now that i am willing to bring things out into the open, i think i have a better chance of avoiding the overeating bug. I have to understand that it is a psychological problem and deal with it that way by telling myself that there is nothing to be that upset about and that eating wont make me happier-because I will be miserable the next day.

-sorry for ranting!

Sounds like you are doing well at cutting out late night snacks! Good for you, knew you could do it.

Having snacks eyeballing you at work is the worst. Oh I hate that. My coworkers are always offering me pizza, chinese food, and candy. I always say no though, so good for me. But all my coworkers are thin! I don't get it!! If I ate like them, we'll I used to, and look where it got me.

Stay strong today!! I'm sure you'll lose the weight after TOM leaves. (Time of the Month)

Have a great and healthy day!!
