Laura's Diary

You so sound just like me! It is kind of funny how much control it takes to say NO to a stupid cookie...a cookie!! I do think moderation is the key...I just seemed to have lost that key....*she says looking diligently*! Keep up the good work and thanks so much for the post...you guys are the BEST! Who knew a stupid scale would scare me more than that big hairy spider that hides in my front garden:eek: . I will keep plugging away and thinking postive....you do it too!!!
 
I can relate about the cookie. It's like you are trying to reason with yourself and you're arguing with your own self! You are a smart girl to do this now at your age because believe me, it only gets harder as you get older. The pounds just don't come off as fast.
I envy your ability to run. I myself am trying to add running to my excercising and it's hard for me but you inspire me! So thanks for that and keep up the good work!!

<3 Liz
 
Wow--look at YOU with all the exercise! I'm really jealous. I've just never been good at it (maybe because I mostly don't do it--what was that thing about practice making perfect?)

The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn without even doing anything. So with all your exercise and good food choices, you'll knock 'em dead in that swimsuit very soon!
 
Great job on resisting that cookie!!!! I'm proud of you! Yet another step in the right direction! :D :D
 
cookies

Way to go! I know what you mean about debating cookies, too. My weak side actually LICKED a cookie today! :p Then my strong side won and I gave the cookie to the dog.
 
Great job on putting the cookie down:D next time you have a sweet treat in your hand just through it on the floor and do jumping jacks all over it...:p Or run in place really fast on top of the cookie. Hope you feel better today and that you are bcak to your running.. have a GOOD one and Don't forget that WATER:D
 
I have had a great day today. I did really well on my eating and i am feeling much more in control. I didn't get home until late today though and i didn't get out for a run but i will make sure i go tommorow. I definately haven't forgot my water today though. I have drank soooo much!
 
Heya everybody, hads another ok food day today, had a few too many pretzels at lunch but never mind. I haven't been able to run again today :( given that i have to babysit my little sister but i am definately going to go out tommorow morning. I have to i am one of those people if they don't go every day they will never go so i will be out tommorow getting back into my running.
 
I just finished reading all your posts, and all I can say is WOW! You have an amazing will power! Keep up the good work!:D
 
Well done for keeping up your running, I have been trying to get into running recently but am finding it difficult (my legs are too stumpy - that's my excuse). Also nice one in not letting the cookie get to you! I had to do something similar yesterday when I came home to find left over curry around (curry is my fave). Eventually wound up eating a few spoonfulls and then throwing it in the bin! Sorry it's taken me an age to visit you on your diary I can never keep up with them all!:eek:
 
hello

Hi Laura, thanks for posting in my diary, it was very encouraging. Looks like you are on the right track with your goals and your approach. I know what you mean about being an expert in breaking diets. Btw I love your user name!!
 
Hey everyone!! Thanks for your comments. Don't worry Curnchie i know how you feel. I have had a mixed weekend. I have got backinto running and i have extended my normal route so i was really pleased with that. On the bad side it was my little sister's birthday and i ended up having a pretty bad day food wise having bitrthday cake and garlic bread at dinner. I felt a bit better as i walked home from the restaurant with my parents instead of going home in the car with my sis and my grandparents. I have just decided to make yesterday my off day and not feel guilty about it and get back on track again today. Hope everyone is having a good weekend!!
 
I'm impressed with your running. I dont think I could run very far if my life depended on it lol. Even though I am on a diet which allows for no deviation, I do believe its important to have treats when you are trying to lose weight, so even though you had cake and g/bread, there is a time and a place. Its not like you do it everyday, and the only danger is if it makes you feel like giving up, which is my problem if I'm in the wrong frame of mind. I tend to be a bit all or nothing and am hoping to work on that attitude down the track. Have a great day:)
 
Hey! I'm 16 too :) You seem really motivated and I hope to be too. Feel free to send me a message or something if you want to talk. It's cool to find someone my age going through the same battle as me, and actually being SERIOUS about it.
 
Laura, what L-Jay said. Remember that this isn't--shouldn't be--just some (relatively) short-term diet; this should be a "school" where we learn to deal with food, exercise, our emotions, everything. You aren't going to want to go through life NEVER eating cake, so you learn now how to handle eating a little now and then. It sounds like you are doing a great job balancing.

And while I have not officially scheduled a day off in my plan yet, I fully intend to as soon as I have gotten used to eating this new way. Well, at first, maybe it will just be a MEAL off :)

You're doing a wonderful job. Keep at it, girl!
 
cake

I love cake. I don't think I could possibly turn down birthday cake. :eek: I am counting my calories, so I have decided to "save up" for treats if I can. They are opening a Steak n Shake in my town - a burger place with the BEST milkshakes - this summer, and the week they open I am going to try to shave 100 calories or so off my diet each day to save up for the strawberry shake I will have that weekend!

Anyway, don't worry about the cake. I'm sure you are back on track already!
 
Hey everyone!!
Am in a great mood today. After a good day yesterday to get myself back on track after saturday, i have lost .6lb. This may not sound like much but it was what i was stuck on to reach 150lbs. The next pound i loose will take me into the 140s!!!! I have been finding it tough to get my weight loss going again having plateaued (sp) most of last week. This was exactly what i needed. An added bonus was that my maths gcse went really well so it looks like today will be a good day!
 
Congrats on the loss. You are doing Great and as long as you're loosing that is GREAT.. Glad to hear that you are back to your running. Keep it up.. Have a WONDERFUL Day and drink your WATER:p
