tormented
Hey,
Well Saturday after shopping for the perfect potted hanging flowers for a few hours in the blistering sun- I got hungry after passing one of my favorite Mexican restaurants… So I decided to make Saturday my “eat anything I want day.” A few people have mentioned it on this site and in my exercise books as well. Big mistake because since then I have no will power and I wasn’t able to exercise on Sunday or today so I feel even worse. I had finally just made it into the 130’s (139 to be exact) and I was so happy now I have taken a step back again. I dare not even get on the scale again–ohh, I have to later I can’t stand the suspense no matter how bad the news! I know I can get back on track if I just start exercising and drinking my water and eating small low carb meals again. I am pmsing too so that is probably at the root of this as well. I just had to put my struggle out there. I need to get back on the bandwagon and I guess for now I cannot have eat whatever you want days anymore!

I completely hear you on the PMS part and it is the root of everything. Your hormones completely throw you off course and any inhibitions you normally have means nothing. I sympathize with you through this struggle but you will get back on track today. I believe in you as much as you believe in me. Hey, I’m not PMSing and I ate a handful of chips last night.
i have long since given up pms, tom, etc. as a reason for my eating. sometimes, i just don’t have the self-control. the key is to get on the scale, face the music (even if it’s the blues), and start doing what you know in your gut is right.
when you are close to your goal, the motivation is even harder to find, because you’re not in the physical and mental pain of being at your top weight.
the scale keeps me in reality, even though it’s not always reality due to water retention. if i don’t weigh i can be in denial thinking it’s better than it is or denial that it’s worse than it is. get back on get your starting point and start going down.
Thank you I needed that. Sometimes the truth is the what a person needs to hear. I really do have such a hard time around that time of the month.. I guess the reality is it is not going anywhere for now. I will be happy once I reach around 130 so then when do fluctuate I just go up to 135, which isn’t too bad. Now going up into mid 140’s sucks.
ahhh…..all i can say is that PMS sucks! i gain at least 5 pounds every time i get it. anyway…keep up the good work. you can do it!
