Taking Control!

I agree, it is a great motivator.
 
Any loss is still a loss... I'm not trying to worry about my sodium intake... Just focusing on sugar detox and making better choices. As expected, my loss slowed down a little I lost close to one pound over night. I can tell my period is on its way so I almost expect to retain water. I'm going to head it off by drinking more... But as long as I keep doing what I've been doing, I'll know any possible gain or even non loss will be due to that. received_3341591235950849.jpeg

Got the tree up yesterday. Now we just have to figure out how to keep the kitten out of it!

Healthy mindset. I´m considering actually decorating for the holidays this year as well - normally I´m not home so I don´t bother. What´s the yellow ornament on the left, about a third of the way up? A name?
 
I have been trying to find a wooden tree as I gave away my old one. I had better try harder! Well done on the quick loss, Korrie :)
 
Thanks guys!!!

Haven't posted in a couple days....my monthly is here so I feel like total garbage. I'm not going to bother weighing myself till I feel less bloated. BUT I have not given in to cravings at all! I'm super proud of myself! Almost a week with NO sugar and my boss brought in a double chocolate cake today!!! I'm having no issues resisting! Never saw myself having this kind of strength. My daughters 17th bday is coming up and I told her I'm just going to buy her a small cake for her and her BF. I'm not going to have a piece. I'm scared one bite of sugar will have me giving in to long term sugar consumption again. I'm not up for the experiment yet. Although I do plan to have some sugar on christmas, but not until then.
 
Well done on the no chocolate cake!

I just read a comment on Reddit where someone had given up smoking I think and they said, 'I am finding it hard but I am steadfast in my resolve.' Sounds like you are too Korrie when it comes to the sugar! Keep it up.
 
Thanks ladies! Today was my daughters 17th bday.. I did allow myself ONE piece of cake... And I stuck to it! It wasn't as heavenly as I remembered so it was fairly easy to refuse another. Of course, since I had sugar for the first time in ten days I'm expecting a 10 lb gain at tomorrow's weigh in:D hahaha
 
Lost two pounds at todays weigh in! I knew the weight (water retention? ) from tom would eventually fall off and it finally did!! Super great to see "262" on the scale! I'm looking forward to the next 10 lbs ! After I hit the 25 lb mark, I'm going to reward myself with a new shirt :)
 
Thanks, but I'm slightly irritated. I let myself have a half cup of hot chocolate yesterday, a piece of bday cake and my daughter makes these amazing little chocolate "cups", they are slightly bigger than a quarter. fills them with mousse...I had one. BUT it reflected on the scale today. Thanksgiving is tomorrow so I'm really nervous this upcoming week I won't have a loss at all....BUT I'm going to power on, it might not be as bad as I fear, and I KNOW I'll have more loss before christmas hits. HOWEVER...I'm making the choice to enjoy christmas day, its been an awful year and I'm going to partake fully, lol BUT then back to the grind...my husband and I have a goal of going kayaking this summer and I can't wait!!!
 
OH! and I think its funny to add....I have alot of downtime at my new job as an office mgr for a small company. I like to watch Youtube videos of weight loss stories, healthy eating tips and exercise, its a great motivator for me!
