Do You Think About Us When You Cheat?

[tlgoblue]

I mean, I don't often cheat, but even when I'm making a less than perfect chioce, I find myself thinking about all of you and what would you be telling me. Maybe that's why I don't cheat very often. I also find myself thinking of you all when I'm making great choices, when I'm exercising, even when I'm engaged in outdoorsy type activities. I think of you all and how you have inspired me to take good care of my body. Anyway, I was wondering if this board has had the same effect on others. So, what are you thinking about when you cheat?

Keep the Faith!

I just got news that my husband is going to Iraq this morning. He is in the National Guards and his company has just got mobilization orders. He is expected to leave sometime in December (BEFORE Christmas)

Anyway - he called me on my cell phone as I was driving to work and I pulled into Dunkin Donuts parking lot ready to go in and eat a couple (or more!) donuts. But instead, I thought, I'm going to go and read some threads on WISH and I'm sure I will make it through the day.

So thank you everyone so posting positive messages, responding to everyone who needs it, and just being there.


Now, I know my DH will come home to a skinny wife!

Keep the Faith! We'll be thinking about you and DH often.

I know I think about everyone here A LOT! Whether I'm making good choices or bad choices, I'm thinking about posting it to my journal. I think about how hard others here are working at being healthy and it helps me work harder at it. I also love to see others' success stories - that way I feel that all my hard work will pay off for me, just like working hard paid off for them.

The WISH board has been a huge source of inspiration for me daily! Thanks, all!!

Auggietina,
My DH went to Kuwait at the beginning of March during the war. He is in the Air National Guard. If you need to talk to someone about this, please PM me and we can keep in touch. Trust me, I know the stresses you will be going through, and maybe I can help support you while he is gone. I gained a lot of weight while he was gone. The stress was tough. You sound like you are in good spirits so that will help.

I definately hear everyone when I make bad and good choices. You all keep me from doing things I shouldn't, and help me make the choices I should.

This place has the same effect on me, Tracy. I often think of all the WISHers here & I do keep track of certain people that have caught my eye, whether they realize it or not. I love reading the success stories and I absolutely love that I feel totally comfortable coming on here & asking anything that I am curious about. It feels like family around here.

Hi,

Especially when I exercise I think about W.I.S.H.

I like to post my excercise time because I know I am getting close to my Thanksgiving goal.

Although I have not cheated the last couple of days I will make it a point to think about the WISHers before I do and how I want to be able to share my success stories.

I guess it is time to put the cheat free bear back up. I had been wanting a cheat free clippie and when I got it I only kept it 2 days, what a bummer.

I have been cheat free for at least 2 days now so maybe I can make it a week if I keep the WISHers in mind when making choices.

Thanks Tracy

I always think about WISHers whenever I am making food choices, or getting my exercise done. Everbody here is an inspiration to me and a real motivation. I love to share in WISHers success stories. As of now I haven't cheated and that is because I know I will have to come here and post that I cheated. That would make me feel that as well as letting myself down I have let all of you guys down (does that make sense )

Auggietina PD For you and your DH and a great big for you.

The support given here really does keep me on the right path. I often think about the advise and input that the people on the WISH board give when I make an unwise choice. And truly it is a big decision when I decide to do my WATP tape because I know it is good for me, but I like being able to post that I did my exercises.
I know that I could just not post or leave the board and no one would know if I was not losing or not exercising, but there is just something about the way everyone helps you when you back slide a bit and they cheer for you when you reach a goal that helps keep me on course.
I lurked on this board for months before actually joining in, and even that was helpful.

I think about WISHers too! Every time I eat anything because I want to be able to come here & report that I've been good & not let my support system down! I also think about WISHers when I exercise. I actually have pictures with some of the WISHers I have met in the room where I exercise & find myself thinking of those WISHers as my exercise buddies!
It really helps me to know that I will be posting to the weekly check in thread, & to the exercise thread, too!

I also think about my fellow WISHers often. I actually started the WISH challenge when reading about your beloved friend, BL. I didn't know her, but judging from what I've read, she was a wonderful inspiration to so many. I knew immediately this was the type of support group I wanted to be a part of. I'll echo what so many have said...whether you know it or not, you help me get through this struggle minute by minute, day by day, week by week. Thank you for sharing your successes and your momentary lapses. Your support and your kind words are a true source of strength for me!

I think to myself...I bet Tracy's not cheating today

I haven't cheated yet as far as eating an offplan food but I think about my fellow WISHers everyday, y'all keep me motivated

 

[Beanie]

I always think of my WISH friends, you are all so special to me!! I just love this board so much...you all motivate me to make the right choices each day!

I also think of the WISH family and my PM buddies as I'm eating and exercising or not. The exercising part hasn't been happening in the past two weeks and I have got to get back on track with all of the holiday parties coming up if I want to be able to maintain.

Thanks to all of you for being out there keeping that little voice in my head going.

Oh, my gosh, yes. . .I think of all of you WISH friends A LOT! Whenever I'm thinking about eating something that isn't OP, I think about having to write it in my journal for all to read. When I'm struggling and need a lift to stay with things, I come here to you guys. When I've experienced a success, I know that I can come here and share my joy. That's what's so great about the WISH--we're here for each other, no matter what!

Thanks everyone,
Erin

Since I’ve been away for a bit, I find that I miss coming here more every day. I seem to think that WISH has gotten me to become more motivated. I know that everyone here is in the struggle together and that we are real people. I find comfort in knowing that someone is here. Thanks to everyone.
