I agree with everyone!! You are absolutely beautiful(jealous, lol) and I agree with you- you've lost 20, why let 15 get in the way?!
 
Paula I second what everyone says including what you said. I too fight the battle of binging every day. You are a gorgeous woman inside and out. You have a wonderful man in your life and three beautiful children. You have come so far and helped us come far as well. You will do this, you have three months. Pick that day to start new the night before write down your plan just like it was one of us in here that you were helping. The next day keep that piece of paper on you and everytime you feel out of control look at the paper and what you're suppose to do next. We love you and we believe in you!
 
Good morning my beautiful friend! :) I hope today seems new and fresh to you and that your happy! We all are really here for you and I trly hope that all of the posts here have helped you get through this small rough patch! Don't forget to pick up that book, I really think.. it may be a guiding force to you and myself and anyone else who binges.. to get beyond that. :) You WILL beat it. You WILL lose the weight. You WILL love who you are. :)

Sending you lots of love, hugs and support today..!! I'll try and keep tabs on you this weekend girl... smile, we adore ya!!
 
Thank you to every single one of you. Who would have ever thought you could care so much about people you've never even met. I consider all of you my friends and your support has brought tears to my eyes. Thanks.
 
Paula I dont think any of us would be able to do the things we've done without eachother:) You're really doing great - you've been such an inspiration to me just reading how you're doing, you're such a good honest person and you deserve nothing short of the best.
 
i second that!!

you have helped us all, why wouldnt we do what we can to help you?

hope you are hanging in there!!

Tears again.... thank you.
Elizab3th, I am going to make my fresh start on Monday. That will be my day to start over. I'm coming up with my plan now and I'll keep you all posted. :)
 
Okay y'all. I've been thinking about this and here is my plan:
First of all, I have removed my weight ticker and I'm throwing out the scale... I'm not kidding! That evil little thing is outta here and I'm going to take it outside and back over it with the truck so that it can't sneak it's way back into my house... I hate that thing! Why do we allow a number to determine our success or failure or our mood for the day, or even who we are? There are so many more important things in life! I have a wonderful fiance, amazing children, the cutest little dog in the whole world (LOL), a new business... my eyes, ears, legs, and arms all work... I am truly blessed and I'm sitting here moping over a damn number! NO MORE! I DO NOT CARE WHAT I WEIGH ANYMORE! I'm on a mission ladies... instead of burning bras, I'm breaking scales and I'll fly to everyone of your houses if I have to! LOL! Throw that damn thing out and set yourself free! ;)

Am I giving up on my ultimate goal of looking great on my wedding day? NO WAY! But I'm not allowing that scale to determine whether or not I'm reaching that goal. I know what I want to look like and I know what it takes to get there. There is no magic number for me anymore... just a look, regardless of what I weigh once I get there.

That being said, I'm going to get back on my diet come Monday. I know that it will be a difficult couple of days because I have gone back to binging but I will remind myself how good I felt when I wasn't stuffed all the time. I will constantly remind myself that NOTHING WILL TASTE AS GOOD AS LOOKING GREAT IN MY DRESS WILL FEEL.

Now for the exercise. As Newleaf can attest, I was doing great when I was focusing on steps rather than scales. Starting Monday I will wear my pedometer again and I will not take less than 10,000 steps per day. I will get up and do 20 minutes of cardio at least five days a week. On top of that, I will do toning exercises three days a week. When I don't feel like exercising, I will remind myself of my goal. If I don't get up early enough to work out before work, I will pack my bands in my bag and do my exercises behind the counter during down times.

I will enjoy my few days off and I will be ready come Monday to face the next eleven weeks head on and I WILL BE ONE HOT MAMA IN THAT WEDDING DRESS!:D

I'm almost as attatched to it as I am my toilet. :) Enjoy your next couple of days! I mean it - look forward to Monday and make the best of these days.. use them to get yourself extra pumped up.. you're gonna do so great.. you'll be like a speeding train FULL SPEED AHEAD! Nothing Stopping you girl - I'm so happy for you that I finally got the energy to exercise! Gotta run.. ... literally! :D

I'm so excited about your new plan :)! You're gonna look exactly the way you want to look with all of your motivation, thanks for helping me with mine :)
 
wow, paula, you sure have a fan club in here!!! I'm glad you got your plan in order and it sounds like what we talked about and I AM SO PROUD OF YOU (AND I SPEAK FOR DANA TOO AS SHE IS BUSY ;) ). You are an amazing woman, and to see through the garbage (those numbers and scales and cr**p) is a HUGE sign of success and your lil HOT MAMA will be swaggering down that aisle.

You are very motivating and we are very proud of you....enjoy your days off (and you know where to go for support/ a good reminder or whatever!! - email me whenever).

Sarah
