Day 9 Entry: 5/30/2021

Weighed in today, but wasn’t as low as I expected. Figured that would happen at some point, but losing lbs no matter what, this time at 219.5 – first time I’ve been under 220lbs since March.

Had a definite victory yesterday where I had already eaten my fried rice + steak dinner, but my parents had visited with some more…[Read more]

We can skip the food (or even all of the family gatherings) this weekend, because there will always be more opportunities this summer.  No need to torture ourselves.

I am learning that it is okay to say no to both food and events surrounding food, and to release the fear of missing out.  If I want to socialize, it will be on my terms – a cup of c…[Read more]

Keep going! You got this!

I made the first 3 days perfect. Then I blew it yesterday. It was a birthday party. I didn’t eat nearly as much as I normally would have, but I did go over my 5 bites. I have another party today and tomorrow! I know there will be plenty of parties and cookouts in the future, I don’t need the food now, I keep telling myself this.

Hi Suzanne!
Welcome! I’m new here too, in my first week. So far I love it! Looking forward to following your journey!

Welcome! I’m in a similar boat. I’ll turn 50 in a few months and I desperately want to reach my goal weight. We can do it! This community is so encouraging and helpful.

Welcome, Suzanne!  So, the journey begins today.  Stay focused and committed, and you’ll be skinny before you know it.  It’s going to be a wild, entertaining, awesome ride. I’m there with you.  I can’t wait to see you through to the other side!

Good job, Poppycat!  You are right there.  But honestly, isn’t it so much more fun to be at this weight than to eat extra food sitting in front of you just because it’s there?

That’s exactly right.  Don’t think about how long it’s going to take to lose all the weight that you want to; instead, look forward to eating the next meal perfectly.  It’s fun, completely satisfying, and very empowering once your hungerstat is set.  So buckle in for the ride.  It’s going to be awesome!!

Welcome!

Great job!!!!

Congrats on changing your life!!

I am so happy to report back here that I touched 125.7 this afternoon. It is a mini goal weight for me as I am going to 120 pounds. My birthday is Tuesday 1 June so am allowing a great day for my birthday the following weekend. I am working on my birthday this year which is a first for me as we normally travel for my birthday.
I can’t shout enough…[Read more]

@danicaj –  Yay, great to see you and such kind words – I appreciate that. I can’t wait. I’m already feeling much better in clothes right now. Just have to keep focused!

@Rachel – Definitely has always worked for me. I tried to do the weekly check-in, but it just didn’t do it for me. As you said, accountability is definitely a big part of that,…[Read more]

I like your daily weigh in, to help with accountability.  I tried staying off the scale this week, and I think that got me in the long run.  I need that daily accountability for right now.
