On The Road To Regain Control

I know what you feel hun. I don't really know what to say though, and I wish I could say something uber amazing too.... :D But just keep on truckin' And you will get to your goal. It being the christmas season, i've bounced back up into the 90's.... But, tomorrow is christmas, and then hopefully everything will get back on track.

You can do this, believe me how else does your ticker read 31lbs lost? hmm? You've been doing so well! Keep it up and you'll be there in no time! *hugs*
 
I'm back on track today and feeling really good again. Everynow and again it just seems I get into a rut and have a really hard time breaking it.

I went shopping today because all my clothes are too big. I was gonna get a pair of jeans just to hold me over until I lose the rest of my weight.

Guess what size!!! 11!!!!! Yayayaya!

Ahhh! I know! I'm soo happy! Losing weight is the one thing that up until now I thought I would never ever be able to do. It's an amazing feeling to actually be in the process of accomplishing what I always viewed as such an unattainable goal.

Messed Up Again.

Okay... so I didn't do to hot at dinner. I had an amazing four bowls of chili. That's a bit embarrassing for me to admitt after all the "getting back on track" talk earlier. Gosh. This is why I get so up tight when I cheat on my diet. Everyones like "It's no big deal... go ahead and treat yourself." But what people don't realize is it only takes one screw up and it throws me off for a week. Not to place the blame on others of course... I have all the control in the world over what I choose to eat. It's just frustrating.

I've got to be stronger than this.

I don't have over eat. I know this. But I choose to anyway....I must just be insane. :mad:

Hey...I know the feeling there AI! Some days I'll start to snack here or there, or I'll have something really fattening and be like "What was I thinking". MTM&K said something to me the other day though..she says she doesn't think I'll ever go back to my old way of eating/not exercising. She said she sees in my eyes the same glint of determination that she saw when we were trying to put our wedding/lives together. (My mother was trying her best to prevent it) and I wouldn't back down...haven't looked back since... 1 day isn't all that bad...I know it throws your week off..but you'll do fine! Keep it up! And did Trucker say something about a gazelle? youhave one too? I normally work out on the gazelle for about 50 minutes and it says I burn about 500 cals... does yours have a calorie counter as well?

Thanks alot. I guess one of the main reason I get so frustrated is because I'm so afraid I will go back to my old habits. It's like I don't trust myself. :) I just don't want all this hard work I've put in to end up amounting to nothing.

I did get a gazelle for Christmas! I'm really excited. It hasn't "arrived" yet but it's been ordered. It should be here sometime this week. My mom had wrapped a box up and when I opened it there was and index card inside that said "Gazelle on the way." :D
 
Good Morning.

Today I plan to be a good little girl, and eat all the proper things. I have even enlisted a forum buddy, so I may have someone to be very accountable to. I am going to lose these last few pounds if it kills me... which would suck, but that is nothing more than symbolic of my determination. I want this so bad. More than anything. This has always been the source of my self-eestem problems. I'm finally correcting them. As I lose the weight, I find myself being more confident, and outgoing. I love it. I guess that's what I meant when I always said I wanted my body to match my personality. It's like my weight was so subconciously overbearing it stifled my character even... or just kept it hidden. I was never comfortable in my own skin.

I know that feeling. It's only been within the last few years - after I turned 25, I guess, that I actually started to feel better about myself.

You can loose those last few! And I can't wait to be able to watch you do it.;)

Awww thank you! Like, when I was much younger my weight bothered me on a daily basis. I cried about it constantly, because I just couldn't fit in with the kids at school, and because I couldn't find clothes that fit right, etc, etc, etc. But as I grew up a bit, it still bothered me, but it's like at any size, you eventually have to come to a point where you accept yourself atleast to some extent, or it seems you'd go mad. And that's where I ended up. I didn't really like it, but I lived with it.

You'll love the Gazelle... it may seem repeditive after a few days...but it's always good to mix and match your exercises... I do my Yourself Fitness in the mornings and when I have a free evening, 50 minutes on the gazelle... Good luck with it!
 
Congrats on the new Gazelle AI!! That's so awesome! I want to save up and get a treadmill that folds up for my living room. It'll take a while though.:rolleyes:

I know about this...but it isn't just one treat. If you do that every day, that's 7 treats a week. It all adds up. And like, this week, I had some Christmas treats, and still lost. So I'm thinking, k, I can eat like this all the time and still lose. Yah, I doubt it.

Let's get back on track! I hope your buddy helps you out. You need anyone else to talk to, pm me!
 
Hi AI!! Congrats on the Gazelle, you have to let me know how you like it I have been look at it or a treadmill. I think I am going to take some furniture out of the living room so if I am in there I have to be on a piece of exercise equipment!!:D

As far as the chili, if chili is a big temptation you can make it where it is better for you. The only "bad" thing in chili is the meat, the beans, onions, etc. are great. They make meat substitute and it really isn't that bad. I like the veggie dogs espeicially when I think about what they put in real hot dogs. :eek: On the plan that I am using you can eat all the vegetarian chili that you want. That helps me cuz sometime I need something spicy!! I am a big salsa addict to and put it on just about everything!! I even discovered black bean salsa!! Yummy! When I eat something spicy it cuts down on my sugar cravings.

Have a great day!

Michelle
 
Hey Wachee! Thanks!
I use my grandma's treadmill all the time. I totally suggest you get one if you have the money and space. They're great.

Chili is a huge weakness of mine. Omg! Yum. Lol. I"ll have to look into this vegitarian chili. Sounds delicious.

I don't really have alot of sugar cravings. I normally crave big globby goppy stuff like biscuits and gravy and mac and cheese, etc, etc. Hehe.

---------------

So far today I've done alright.

Breakfast: 1 pack of Goldfish crackers (130 calories)
Lunch: A couple pieces of pizza and a few cheesey stick things at CiCi's (Shame on me I know) (Prolly about 550 calories if not more)
-Little light exercise-

I'll prolly eat a real light dinner to blance the pizza out. I am proud of myself though because I probably could have eaten like twelve pieces but I made myself stop. I'm getting there. Slowly but surely.

Turkey chili is the shizz - just sayin'

My goodness! Where on earth have I been? I was totally unaware of all the unlimited chili possibilities! :D

Turkey chili does sound good though. Surprisingly enough I'm not real big on red meat anyways, so it would probably be a pretty excellent alternative.
