You Can Do This Come On Girl Lets Rock And Have A Wonderful Weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I wish I had my own elliptical at home, that would be awesome! Hope you have a great weekend :)
 
MP, hope the weekend went well and you get your behind back soon! :p:D Don't stress over the "mini binge"! Just get back on the wagon and come see us! :D Are you still biking to work(s) :D I wish I could do that! Its kinda hard to deliver two kids to where they need to be on the back of a bike though :rolleyes: LOL Hope all is going well and you have a great day today! :D
 
Hi girls, thanks for the visits. I'm stuck. I'm trying, but I'm also PMSing and I'm STUCK. I've been stuck here before, and it's my own doing (and my fiance's - he knows I love food, and keeps giving it to me) I start to get cranky about not being able to eat whatever I want, then I eat something I shouldn't (or 4 somethings I shouldn't) and then I exercise to try to make up for it, but that's just keeping me from gaining. That's why I've been stuck at 206 forever, I don't think I've made ONE day where I keep to my calorie goal of 1500 AND exercise. I can do one or the other, but that's not getting me there. Today, I will do both. I wanted to write I'll "try" to do both, but I stopped myself and just made a one day goal to not overeat and to get my exercise in. One day at a time, I won't even think about tomorrow yet.
 
Don't get depressed about it, stick to one day at a time and you will get there. when you feel like eating something you shouldnt try drinking a glass of water first and see if you still feel hungry.

Good luck
 
You're right, One day at a time.. Don't get discourged. "THE ONLY WAY TO FAIL IS TO QUIT". Please don't quit on yourself and your health. When you get the urge to eat PUSH your self to do some sit-ups, push-ups. sqauts, leg moves. A little of something. Or chew gum. That helps me.

You will get pass this. No worries. Keep your head up and your metabolism going:D ;) Have a Wondrful day and drink your WATER
 
Another thing I do if I start getting the munchies is to go a wee walk somewhere even if it's only across the road to the shops. We have a big retail park across the road from us with a lot of these horrible clothes shops. You know the ones I'm talking about... only cater for you if you're Mr or Miss average (though I'm betting the average dress size in Falkirk isn't a size 10). I always look at the clothes and think "I'll be able to wear all these nice things when I've lost a bit more weight". That helps me a bit though like I say a wee walk anywhere will be good for you and save you eating.:)
 
Hey MissP! I know what you mean. I have been stuck for about a month now. And it makes me depressed, so then I eat something I shouldn't. :rolleyes: We are going to get through this and get below 200! We have to cause I'm sick and tired of looking at that "2" on the scale! ;)
 
MP, kick harder, push farther, and keep goin'! :D One day at a time is the key. Today you won't eat things you shouldn't. Today you won't go above your calorie limit. Today you will do _____ for execise for 30 minutes.TODAY! When tomorrow comes it will automatically become your today and you can tackle it THEN.

Have a great day :D
 
Don't be discouraged Princess. You will get there. I know you can do it. You're making the effort so give youself some credit.

Tomorrow is a new day and you can take baby steps, anything helps.

I want to see you reach your goal!! You can do it, we will help you. Reach deep inside and know that you are worth every effort. You're worth more than that tastey snack and you deserve to feel good. Give yourself the gift of health. That's what I tell myself at least, haha. Hope it helps.
 
Sorry you're stuck, but you can get yourself out of this rut!

Something that I think helped me was getting myself out of the mindset that exercise is to make up for going over calories. For one, it might take a lot more exercise than you think to make up for a slip up (for example, on the eliptical, which I've found to burn the most calories per minute, it still takes almost 45 minutes to burn off a single-size bag of chips!). For another, if you are in the mindset that you can't "make up" for a bad day, you're less likely to let yourself have them in the first place.

Just a thought, but you need to do what works best for you, and we're here to support you!
 
Don't get down on yourself, you can do this, you have all the right habits in place just keep it up!

You can do this!:D
 
Hi Girls, I'm here. I tend to drift off for 3 days at a time (weekends, and no internet at home), but I promise I'm not gone. I'm still at 206 (surprise surprise) I wish I had read your thoughtful and helpful posts before this weekend. At least I didn't gain, but I really can't help eating what I shouldn't during my TOM.

I'm over it now, and I had to change my calorie goal up to 1600. I just couldn't stick to 1500, and at 6'2" (and still building muscle) getting some activity in every day, I think I can still lose at 1600, and it may be a goal I can actually hit. I figure it's better to hit my goal at 1600 cal than to lose control after dinner and accidentally get 1900 cal. I think I'm always keeping it under 2000, but that's not enough with my measly excuse for exercise I've been doing.

I've been biking a couple miles a day (mostly weekdays), which is nearly nothing, and one way it's just downhill enough that I barely need to pedal at all, so it's a lot like being a passenger on a very windy ride. Yesterday I tackled a hill, but it turned out to be smaller than it looked initially, so it only got my heart rate up for about 30 seconds. It was a good little interval though. I've been lifting weights about 4 times a week (alternating upper & lower body twice a week each) but getting very little cardio in at all, and I think it's holding me back (not to mention the extra eating at night).

So thank you for the advice, I'll try the water, gum, anything that might possibly work, and I'm going to try to refocus on my white flour ban. I've had a little slipping on the pastry front, and if I stuck to my white flour ban, then I wouldn't be eating one of the worst things in my diet that throws me out of control. I don't know why, but when I eat things made w/ white flour (and white sugar) my cravings go mad, I eat entirely too much, and then an hour and a half later I actually want more! Logic tells me this is totally unnatural, but that's what happens when I "just have one cookie". I can only eat whole wheat, oat, etc. without this consequence. I should learn from my experience here, and maybe by actually talking about it now I'll think twice before I take that first fateful bite.

I'll try to behave, thank you so much for your help and encouragement. I appreciate it, and I'm going to try it all!
 
I have the same problem with some foods too missprincess. For me its pizza and pasta rather than pastries, but I still find it really hard to control myself around them. For things like that it really is better to take a no-tolerance approach to those "trigger" foods rather than trying to indulge just a little.

If you know what your weakness is, then its much easier to beat it!
 
Wow, missprincess, so many things you've said have struck really close to home for me. I think we may be long lost twin sisters or something!!!
 
GOT WATER???? Hope you have a WONDERFUL DAY!!!! Don't forget your WATER :D
