no more murder on this thread, only in MAFIA WARS

Sorry I forgot to reply to you in facebook marilyn, I've been laughing about your comment ever since



I concur. Also, I'd like to say I'm Nanette, I'm fat (& Happy) but I know it's not healthly but right now I just don't have the energy to deal with it. Not an excuse, a decission. Not a good one either

Hi Nan!!!

My problem is I love food! Both V and I have lost a lot of weight before , so I know we can do it. We both know when we are making a poor choice, but just cant seem to mentally make the change to the right choice! Instead of her telling me that Im making a wrong choice, she will join me in that poor choice and vice versa! So we are enabling eachother to fail! Me more so than her. She has way more willpower than I do as far as WW goes. Im not a meeting kinda guy , so I need to do what I know is right, instead of making excuses, which is what most of us seem to be doing. I dont want to be mean or hurt anyones feelings, but the truth is that we are all making excuses and always finding a way to justify that wrong choice. If only we could put as much energy into justifing the right choice......

It's hard to do, I really know that. I am most mindful about managing my hunger. Making good choices is more difficult when I'm hungry.

I guess this is why it is said that weight loss has to begin in your head. someone said to me recently..."what is the difference between tomorrow and today?" I have the "all or nothing" thing going on in my head and will tell myself that I will do better tomorrow. And really, what is the difference between the two. For me not a whole lot, except an excuse to write off today.

I'm going to take your advice and sit down and really think about whats worked and what hasn't. And try really really hard to leave the guilt at the door.

and thanks Ian for just being the great guy you are.
Oh and I had a sub at my last two meetings and it was a guy. Never had one as a leader before. He is from Mexico and going to start a Spanish classes soon.

With time and practice I'm sure you can get skilled at killing ANTs.

Monica - There are 3 meetings on Saturdays, near you. It's at a WW Center too, which I prefer to church basement type.

Sitting in darkness again....it's raining and pouring outside....what else is new. This has been the darkest spring/summer that I can ever remember. After the long cold winter, we want SUN!!!

oh, look! IT'S RAINING HERE TOO!!!! Today has been so dark, dreary and rainy......looks like a snow day in the winter when we lived up north! the clouds are so thick....I feel sorry for the tourists.

Guess what!!!



It's not raining It was earlier though I did manage to get some weeding done before it poured. Then I was able to get back out later to plant a few more flowers. Brian dug some dead bushes out for me and went to get me another tank of propane for the bbq , so I guess I'll forgive him for the unwashed dishes last night

MONICA! Thanks for the pictures! I'll forward to Heather. Now I have to get her to send me some that Tom took and I can finish putting them in an album to share.

I had to wear a jacket today and turn the heat on in my car!

Holly... here's the pattern for the cool ties...

I use Shultzes water crystals... Home depot may have them - if not Amazon does...

You only use 1/8 of a tsp for each of the 4 pockets you make (you can make them with 2 pockets, but with 4 it gets distributed better. Don't over use the crystals cause they swell up a ton and they will seep through the seams.

http://www.schultz.com/ProductCategories/Roseflowercare/MoisturePlus/

The rest of the crystals have lasted me severa years and I put them in my pots every spring for my plants... it's what Miracle Gro uses for the Moisture potting soil.

Good luck!!!

Oh and cotton - like the kind you get for quilts, etc... the very thin type works best... otherwise turning them inside out is a pain. (as we learned...)

Thanks Michelle! I emailed it to my stepmom.

 

[HollyTyler]

Make that a team of three. I'm down 18 total and holding at my last weigh in. We have to help each other over this hurdle. I have no idea how.

 

[HollyTyler]

Oh my gosh, I rented a movie tonight......I'm watching Transformers....and it's almost the coolest movie I've ever seen! I wanted to watch it to see if it's something Tyler can watch. I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Wow... those photopass photographers are getting good...

My advice about getting on track.

- Sit quietly and really think about what's important. Make a list if necessary.
- Take ownership of the situation.
- Make a list of what you have done before and what has worked
- Make a list of the triggers that derail you
- Leave guilt at the door step.
- Focus on each day
- Plan
- Plan
- Plan
- Plan
- Plan
- Track your food & Points
- Track every single BLT (bites, licks and tastes)
- If you go over your points, still track, otherwise it become "magical," by accounting for it you can take action.
- Track your food
- Track your food
- Track your food

THANKS Ian, I will print this and look at it daily and will hopefully get back on track soon.

ONLY 12 MORE PAGES AND WE ARE OFF THIS THREAD!!!!!

(so who want's to go tell Ken????

 

[HollyTyler]

I'm on a roll ...


Also my advice is, commit to just one change this week. It doesn't have to be a big change in behavior, a small change will do. Commit to a change and stick to it.

The change that always helps me get back on track is tracking. I force myself to do it completely and honestly.

For me, it's sort of like a push start for a car, I find that I force myself to do it for 3 days and then my engine turns over and builds momentum.

That really makes sense, thanks Ian!

 

[HollyTyler]

Thanks Ian. I'm also have a hard time staying on track. I'm trying to find the mind set that I had the first, second and third times I have walked in the door to a WW meeting. The guilt was the one that struck me the most. I can really beat myself up and all it takes is one misstep. I have to get past expecting every day to be perfect and if it isn't then I'm likely to chuck the whole day.



Well, I'm a meeting member and I have also tried the online version. The meeting is what works for me. there is a certain accountability in myself to go each week. (besides, the money has already come out of my account)(member pass) And having a leader that I know really, really cares about me is very important. My leader, Andrea is just such a person. At a WI a few plus weeks ago, I had a gain, when I was sure it would be a loss. I had had a really great week, I tracked, drank my water, and exercised. I actually lost it at the meeting sad1 When the receptionist asked if I was going to stay, I said no.(between my tears) Andrea came after me, gave me a big hug, talked with me. She said she understood if I did not want to stay, but I said no I would stay. The really cool part was that the first part of the meeting, even though she did not single me out, I knew was for me. I think she even might have gone off what ever the topic was for the week. But by doing this, she again showed how much she cares about her members.

sorry for the ramble.

I gave the guinea pigs a bath tonight. They were NOT amused.

But they smell like coconut now, so that's much more preferable to what they were starting to smell like!
