Ok, so I'm starting a new journal to track my journey through my weight loss.

I started back in Jan, 2011, and to date I have lost 14lbs in total.

I have wandered a bit from the road of success, and need to get back to being accountable for my exercise (or currently lack thereof!) and what I put in my mouth!

I would like this to be a place where I record my food, exercise, feelings, events, etc...a place for me to feel free to be myself, understand my relationship with food and emotions, and a place to build up positive attitudes, expectations, and encouragement for myself!

I want to remind myself every time I post of 4 key things to keep myself on track.

---------------------------------------
1. Think about the exercise you did today. If you didn't do any, what will make you feel better? Not doing any, or forcing yourself to do some activity?
2. Every time I make a meal, eat out, or pick up a drink- don't deny it to yourself, but think about it, and ask yourself if you really want it, or would like to save yourself for a treat.
3. Say 1 nice thing to yourself, and one thing you're proud about.
4. Think about the bigger picture, of what you want to succeed. Think about all the hard work you've put into your goal so far. Think about how happy, proud, and joyful you are of your success to date, and remember that you can continue to do this.

Welcome back tik.

I fell off the wagon for a short period on my trip recently but it had been building for a while. When things got really bad, i got really pissed off with myself and declared that whatever i shoved into my mouth, i was going to report it to the forum and somehow all this seemed to get me back on track the next day.

I've said this before, its when you stop caring that slip back to old ways.

I hope you can get to your goal more easily this time and as you note, you've already lost a significant amount of weight which warrants congratulations.
 
Tik! So glad to see you're back! I applaud you for you're efforts to deal with what you've gone through these past few months. Keep it up, girlie! You've got a fresh start :)
 
Hi Jill,

I posted on your old diary. DIdn't realize you had this new one. Here I will repost what I posted in your old diary-lol.

It is so nice to see you back. I was getting a little worried when I seen you hadn't been here for a while.I have gone through periods in my life like you have just gone through- in fact I have had more than my share-lol. Highs and lows, that is life. It is nice to see you maintained and you have a new running goal. I knew you had it in you. You are such a positive person and it is nice to see you haven't changed. I run my 1/2 marathon in less than two weeks - I am excited and nervous.I know I can run it because this past Sunday for my long slow distance run I ran 21.5K. It is now just to see the time I can do it in. I am shooting for a sub 2hour 1/2. I have my fingers crossed. I am so glad you are back!!!
 
Welcome back!! I've been wondering where you buggered off to.

Well done on the 17lb loss, you're doing great girlie. I too have fallen off the bandwagon of tracking things, I hardly ever write in my diary anymore.

Good to have you back :D
