Good morning girl!! How's it going? :) Havent' talked to you in a few days woman.. I am in withdrawal!! Hope you have a great week!!
 
mornin' paula! hope you had a great weekend....did you manage to keep those 6 lbs off? whoo!!! I am jealous! and VERY happy for you!
 
Wow! Hello all! Sorry I haven't been here all weekend... just been really busy with the salon. Even Josh is tired of it. :( Told me we need to figure out how to get away from the place more. ANYWAY....

HH- I didn't have time to get your workout together this weekend but I haven't forgotten ya, I promise! ;)

BizeB- No more BK for this girl! Wheat Thins and tuna all the way! :cool:

NewLeaf- I'm her girl... you know if it ever gets too bad without me, you can always call or text me! haha :)

Skyler- To answer your question NO! I kept one pound of the six off... guess it's pretty hard to keep water weight off once you start drinking and eating again! LOL! :rolleyes:

Kate- Wavin' right back at ya girl! :D

Hey girl.. what service do you use, so I can text you? :) I know I've got your cell # :)
 
Hey Paula! That's ok. I know you will get to it when you have time. :D

That sucks that you put the weight back on, but I know you will lose it in no time!
 
Mornin' Paula :) Bummer that you put that weight back on but, like you said, when you start drinkin' and eatin' again...... You will get it off for good the healthy way, I know it:D Great job on the no BK! I love the place but since I've started eating healthy my tummy just can't handle it :rolleyes: Hope you have a great day - Keepup the awesome work :D
 

Hope your day treats you well - don't worry I gained my water weight back too! - Actually.. I kind of missed it.. I was cold without it...
 
Looks like a theme here. Water weight is coming back! No worries. Paula, I am not worried about you at all. I do miss you though!! Hope all is well.

Mornin' Paula :D I guess Josh didn't find a way to get the salon done in a hurry, huh? :D Hope all is well and you are keepin' up all of that hard work :D Have a great day today :D
 
hey girl,
just checking in...hope you get a break from the salon someday! ;)
thanks for popping in my journal and being so sweet.
You rock, my guiding light :D
 
Thanks everyone. I'm here just don't have much to say in my own diary cuz I'm really sucking a** at this weight loss thing lately. I'm pretty frustrated cuz I felt like I had my binging behavior under control (finally) and then I tried that damn cleanse (that shall remain nameless ;))! Now my binging is out of control, all I can think about is food and I'm literally back to eating so much in a day that I'm sick come night time... just a little pissed (okay really pissed) at myself. I have less than three months and my dress still doesn't look the way I want it to. So that's me for today. :rolleyes:
 
Hey Paula - my opinion? I think you should make a new start! You should make Monday or Saturday or Friday (whenever you're ready) your very 'first day' I read both your diaries and I understand how you feel. You can't be mad at yourself though. Just make a new clean slate and give it another go because you ARE in control and you CAN overcome this. I'm really sorry you're feeling this way hun, but you're getting married! You are going to start a new life and you've got under 3 months until that's going to happen - that's actually a long time to me! You can do it and you have to keep your head up, it's worth it. A little slip up is okay - you know that! You're doing awesome girl, this dosen't have to dampen your day! Cheers! :) SMILE! :D
 
i know i emailed you, but then i thought others may want to read this as well....

Okay, it drives me bananas sometimes when people use my own advice and give it back to me, but we are in that situation here today.
"Running out of time.....feel need to get the weight off....no will power......"

Time for an attitude change, my darling.....perk up, SMILE, you are a beautiful woman and it is going to take some patience (remember!!) to get back on track. We know that the isogenix (sp?) was a test for yourself but more so to see if you would sell it and help others. That is beyond remarkable and admirable but time to take care of yourself. I cant say i'm compulsive so please excuse me for not being able to totally relate, BUT i can relate on frustration, feeling a time limit and pure lack of patience.

If you change the way you think, you will change the way you feel. Think about that. That is sooooo true. If you think that you have no control, you won't. If you think you can conquer this with effort, determination, persistence and care...you will get there....The last pic i saw of you, you are super muscular and will be gorgeous regardless, however, i do understand the frustration. That's why it is time for the attitude change.

Also, you have been THE best on advice, support, etc....think now for me...if your best friend came to you and felt the way you feel now looking for advice, support, whatever....what would you say????????? (that's what is called the 'best friend theory') and that's where you KNOW deep down what you need to feel better...

hang in there hon...i think that elizabeth is right. have a fresh new day. whenever you are ready and we'll be here for you every step!
 
Wow, that's a hard question because I know it's me we're talking about! Isn't it funny how I can hand out advice to everyone else but when it's me who has the problem, the rules seem to change. :rolleyes:
So I really had to think about this one for a while. I had to try to take myself out of the equation... what would I tell you or Dana if this was you?

I would say that:
First of all that you've come a long way. You've lost twenty pounds and you have less than that to lose to reach your goal. There are always things in life that can prevent us from reaching our goals if we allow them to. If losing weight were a simple thing, obesity wouldn't exist.
As far as the eating disorder goes, you tackled it once, you can do it again... one day at a time. Tell yourself that "Today, I'm going to only eat the things on my diet and I'm not going to worry about tomorrow, today.
Next, you still have three months before your wedding and people make major transformations in that amount of time so there is still PLENTY OF TIME to reach your goal. Stop letting that stupid little number box determine whether or not you're succeeding or failing! You've gone from wearing a 9/10 to a 5/6... HELLO! That's great! You GOT THIS GIRL! And in the meantime, there are plenty of people on this forum who've "got your back". ;o)
