WooHoo! I stayed within my points today! This has been very hard for me lately. I splurge on something yummy and then say to myself, "I've already failed for today I might as well just eat whatever I want." When I told this to Patty on Monday she reminded me that this way of thinking was just an excuse and when I screw up it doesn't mean that I've ruined my entire day. So yesterday and today I worked really hard to remember this and even though I went over my points last night by a few points (that go towards my weekly points) I still did good for the day. Patty also told me that it's not just that I have bad self control but that I just can't have certain things around, they are just to tempting for me. Sunday I had family over so I made cookies and I just can't not eat them and then I can't just stop at one. For now and maybe forever I just can't make cookies or they all have to leave the house with my guests (I guess I could try some of the WW recipes but I'm not sure I could just eat one).
I have walked on my treadmill everyday this week. I get activity points for the exercise but I don't add them into my balance. I hope that when I go to my weigh in tomorrow that I have not gained, it will be so discouraging. I skipped my weigh in last week because I was afraid that I had gained and I couldn't bear to hear it. The week before that I had only lost one pound and I was upset that I hadn't lost more so I had a few bad eating days.

Good for you Becky! YES, it's hard. Man, I used to tell myself that SAME thing all. the. time. "I already messed up today....OR....I'll start tomorrow". I agree, just excuses. In fact, Tammy and I were talking tonight and before we started this BL, we had BOTH tried over and over to "start" loosing weight. We were both so full of excuses and now we KNOW that we can do ANYTHING we put our minds too. Honestly, you need to BELIEVE that you can do this and you CAN! wow, it's late...I ramble when I'm tired.....
Good job, keep it up. YOU CAN DO THIS...YOU CAN MAKE A LIFE CHANGE......
Ditto to Melissa! I think we all have done that, and thats why we are all in or near our 30's and just now "getting" it. I think for you its so important to remember that YOU ARE WORTH IT!!! It is such a struggle as a mom, wife, money earner, to just, well, BE. You deserve to be healthy and you deserve to feel good about yourself. This is really hard to accept about ourselves as women because we just want to constantly make sure that everyone else has their needs taken care of, then if there is time then maybe we take care of us. I struggle with this too, I never like letting anybody down. Ask, if someone asks something of me, I never say no! But this is your time Becky, do this for you because you are so worth it!!!
I am sooo proud of you Becky, you are doing so well! It is hard to change something you have done for years over and over. This doesn't happen over night, although I am sure we all would like it to!! ;) I can't wait to hear your results for today!! Just go to your weigh in, it is hard to see the number sometimes, but you are doing so well, i am sure you will see a change!! I hope you can make it later to the BL get together tomorrow night. :) Keep up the good work!
I think sometimes when we "mess up" we want to feel the guilt and are hard on ourselves! I read the other day about a woman who lost over 100 pounds and she was giving some tips and one of them was if you "mess up" move on. Meaing don't dwell on it and look to the next time and making a better decision. Well I do not know if that helps or not, but I thought it made good scense.
