Thankful for this place.
Thank you everyone for your comments. I have not been good. My eating lately has not been about seasonal food. I feel myself sliding and I just have not been where I want to be, not even close. No gory details. I am just feeling the need to come to the only place I know where people get me. No judgment. No one saying ahh who cares, you are little. The thing is, it is scary when you have come so far and seen so much improvement and then you go and have some bad days/weeks and also clothes that were loose are suddenly tight. Well, I am dusting myself off and aiming for a good week. I am not adjusting the scale today, but I will be weighing in Wednesday (ticker will go up…I am aware and expecting this) and Friday. No excuses. Oh and I am wearing the tight clothes as to not forget that I do not want to outgrow them. Cheers to us.
*dreaming of that warm vacation already…wink wink*
I’m sure that you’ll shed those few pounds quickly and your clothes will no longer be tight. Have faith and don’t be hard on yourself. We all slide backwards a bit. You’re not alone.
Wishing you the best as you work through the upcoming holiday season.
ticker goes up… ticker goes down…
It’s a learning path to travel and no one ever said it was going to be a straight one. Lots of twists and turns and growing in knowledge. Such is life in EVERYTHING we do.
No guilt, no regrets… just awareness and keeping on the path. That’s progress in my books.
Here’s to a great week (clink, clink)*cybersugarfreehotchocolate* wink wink
Love and HUGGGGGGGGGGS my friend,
Shan
Big hug, honey. Sorry you are struggling, but Shan says it so well. Things get worse and worse, then they get better and better, then worse etc. Just hang in there. They will get better and better. WHEW, hang on, it’s a great life if you don’t weaken. Ed’s favorite saying. Listening to Leonard, his later music is FUNNY! I love “I’m your man”. Take care, and chin up. Who loves you, baby? WE DO!! Marge
You can do it Jennifer.
Keep wearing the tight stuff. My last adventure in weight loss resulted in a loss of 75 pounds, which I did not keep off because I gave myself permission to put it back on again. Just keep nourishing yourself! Rhonda
I agree, keep wearing the tight stuff. That will keep you on track, headed back down in the right direction. :o) You can do it!
Aaahhh, Jen, we all have those times, beleive me, it is part of this journey. But I know you can get back into it, you are a fighter, and a strong woman, I beleive in you!
Try not to stress to much Jen…you know in a matter of days you’ll be humming right along again. Your a strong gal both mentally and judging by those arms I know physically too, nice pipes you got there girl! Stay focused… take time out for you, curl up with a good book, a nice cup of tea, have Oscar purring you a kitty song and relax! Hugs your way!!
I love this place too. It is a nice place to just be ourselves and be honest even if we are sliding a bit. I am sliding around myself some. I know that my consistency will not come til after the holidays are over and I am sure with you too. Just hang tight and keep fighting. Don’t be too hard on yourself because I know you will get back to it as will I and we will be ready to do it! You have a great night Jenn.
Look no further, as always, you know where to turn when you’re in WL distress. Hang in there missy, I know you, and I know you will ride out this wave. You’ve come a long way and I know you won’t allow yourself to go back to the Jenn you used to be–our motto is to look forward!
Right there with you but what may be able to help you through those rough days is to really focus and take those slow days (when you don’t have lunch or dinner dates with friends and family) and really use those days to eat healthy and exercise. The way I see it is not every day is full of activities and food so there ARE doable days that we can use to our benefit. Seize those days for the moment since those are the ones that help us do the best we can. Good luck. I’m here for you.
