3 Days Strong!

[Emme]

OK I have been doing this WW thingy and exercising for three days now, today is my 4th. I dreamt I ate a piece of cake last night (really) and was so upset with myself. When I woke up I just kept saying thank God it was only a dream:eek: My goal is to loose 40 pounds.

I so want to be able to succeed. There are many events coming up that I want to attend and feel good about myself...I have a trip to Canada in three weeks, then Thanksgiving, then my in-laws 50th Anniversary party, then Christmas. It's amazing how even loosing a few pounds adds to ones self esteem.

Well, I will just take one day at a time and hope I can count on you all for some pixie dust and encouragment, and I hope I can do the same for you:sunny: :sunny:

Hugs,
Emmy

Good for you Emme. Keep up the good work. I am also on Day 4 but with Atkins...............you are absolutely right about one's self-esteem being raised when they lose a few pounds!!!!

Best of luck in reaching your goal!!!

Good for you for just taking it one day at a time. I believe that it is fine to have a goal, but you can't get so wrapped up in it that you make it so difficult for yourself. You are doing great and I'm sure that you will be able to handle all of the events coming up.

You're doing great!

I have food nightmares, too. I dream that I'm eating out and after finishing my meal, the waiter says, "Ma'am, I'm so sorry but apparently your steak had sugar added while it was being grilled and there was flour in the sauteed mushrooms." YIKES, talk about an Atkins nightmare.

Thanks so much everyone for the encouragment! Today is day 5 and no cheating! I have also exercised daily for 20 minuites on my treadmill. It's amazing how the though of seeing people you haven't seen in awhile can really motivate you:rolleyes:

I am excited to way in on Monday, I'll let you all know!
