Petals diary

Thanks Marsia and Amy .
That's ok Marsia I know it's hard to keep up with everyone's journal too.
I am finding time abit of a constraint at the moment so I will just chip away now when I can.
Yesterday was very busy. I had a productive day. Work was good and I also managed lots of laundry , trash collection around the home and few hours study.
Food was ok but I thought about food all evening . But didn't give in thankfully not that there was much to give in too .
It's harder at the moment than it was but I'm determined .

Thanks Rob and I’m happy you are too . Honestly there are times I feel like giving in and having a big fattening meal and you might not believe this but
I actually think of your determination and strength and I know I don’t need it .

Every hard day you master strengthens your resolve and proves to your brain you're both committed and capable.

Yes and even though it feels harder to shift the weight the brain wants to do it and the resolve is there .
 
Having that resolve is key, I think & you have it in bucketloads now, Petal. I love it when you know for a fact that you are really focussed & determined. I'm not there yet but I hope to be soon. Thanks for your support, hon xo

I am glad you can resist, but I suspect it is more you than my influence. That said I guess in this place we all support each other.

I sure know that feeling of wanting to give into a "big fattening meal" I have it all the time, some days more than others. I hope that as you enter into the maintenance realm you can keep resisting. I think that might be harder than the losing weight realm. I am sure you'll find a way.

Reading your diary just now sounds like your pretty much there.

So awesome! I'm really happy for you, and as I said in my diary, it helps me that you are so focused and determined!!

I sometimes can't quite believe I am.

Rob good on you too resisting those fattening meals. It's hard but achievable.
 
I love how committed everyone is. It's like the difference between trying to meditate by yourself and it's sometimes quite hard, and then if you meditate in a big group, the concentration in the room really helps you!
 
Thanks Em. Cate yes sometimes keeping off the scales does help. Marsia I am committed but I also know for me I could switch very quickly but I do think it helps being in this group.
I had some shopping to do after work yesterday . Bought some nice black boots , about a 1.5 inch heel just for work . Also got some new leggings and tshirt and zip up for wearing around home and for walks. Felt really tired then and a bit weak and I had missed lunch so I stopped at a cafe and had a nice chicken sandwich ( felt I needed some carbs ) and a rare Diet Coke . Chatted with 2 lovely ladies .

Weight loss this week was 1 lb. am pleased but also know I won't hit my 4lb target by Monday morning . Might not even do it by official weigh in next wed but perhaps. I don't really mind as I'm going in the right direction and I would rather aim for the stars and reach the trees than not even make it off the ground. Slowly slowly.

1 lb is great! I think you have a really good attitude, aiming for the stars, but reaching the trees is good. Keep doing that and the 4 lbs will be gone soon, if not in September, soon.
 
Another one agreeing! :)
It does me good to read your diary, Petal, and to try to learn to be willing to take it slow, if that's the way to get there in the end. (Note that I said "try to learn". It's a long haul.)
 
Amy if you went back to my diary last year it’s not so good and I actually left for a while . Couldn’t cope but I actually feel in control of food now pretty well but still enjoying my life and nice food .

Thanks for all the liking of my comment guys . I really believe it and yes Rob slow and steady wins the race so if it takes longer it doesn’t matter . A loss is a loss
