Dear Scale
Why do you torture me? I feel like everytime we get close you hurt me by telling me I am fatter than I think I am. I work very hard to make you happy. I log my foods, I go to the gym now, and I stocked the kitchen with fruits and vegetables. Even with all that you work, you still feel the need to insult me every time I see…

just about ready to throw in the towel.
So I weighed in this morning - my normal day to weigh in (Tuesday), and I had gained another pound. I started at 160. I had gotten down to 153 and now I am back up to 155. This is over the course of two weeks. I know two pounds isn't a lot. But I'm really discouraged. I'm a little hungry most of the time and I've been…

On family - Words of Wisdom - August 5, 2008
Good morning. When you look at the word familiar it reminds me of the word family. Are you familiar with your family? Are you close to them? Or very busy? (Remember!) Be attentive to your family... There's a proverb that reads... "Listen to the whispers so you don't have to hear the screams" :heart: God is Love:heart:

Need a little pick-me-up
I'm generally just a reader of the blogs but decided that I need a little support. I've been on the site for about 3 weeks now and have already lost 9.5 lbs. I know, pretty great! BUT - my motivation is slipping. I was at a friends house over the weekend and even though I didn't eat too badly, and kept keeping track I just…

DANG IT!
I did so well when I was on here back in April and May. Then in June and July I totally left off the whole thing. We bought a house, moved, went on trips, had friends in town... lots of distractions. Now I've GOT to start again. But my motivation is gone. And the beach trip that inspired my signing up for MFP in the first…

Then, my Grandfather got sick(er) and my sister and I went down south for about 5 weeks to be with family. While I was there, I completely ignored the…

I hate cheat day
I had my first "cheat" meal last night. I ate too much and drank to much, which lead to eating even more. I went over my calories by about 1000. I feel like crap today. I feel like it is a step back in my progress. I feel the water weight. My fingers are swollen. "Cheat" day is over rated. MK
