Thank you all so much for your responses. They really brighten my day.

It has been 10 days since I have seen movement on my scale, and I DONT care! Can you imagine?? Because of this site I understand it is a change of life (lol) not a diet.

Sooooooooooooooooo
Today I feel proud that I am a stronger, healthier woman. I have muscles where I didn't before.

I feel happy.....and PROUD of who I am today.

Have a great day my MFP pals. I just luv you guys! :smooched:

I'm so proud of everybody! YAY us!!

Today I ate lunch at a Mexican restaurant and got a salad with chicken on it. When it came out covered in cheese (that the menu didn't mention!!) I knocked a whole bunch of it off, and didn't eat the whole thing because I got full. I ate 2 chips and no more.

And then I came home and did my Zumba dvd for the first time!!

It was a good day....

Oh MY you WERE a good girl today! Isnt it great we dont use the excuse...well they brought to me, cant waste it!....any longer?

I have to go to zumba. I just found one right down the street for 10bucks! They also teach salsa and I may sign up for that again.

Let me know how the zumba dvd is, I may buy it!

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I think you'd LOVE Zumba ... it is a blast! Our class is probably not as fun as some because, well, I'm one of the younger ones (!!) and nobody lets go and whoops & hollers much. Hehehe ... but the music is hot and we're even HOTTER. Mwahahaha....

The dvd is ok ... you kinda miss the interaction of the class, and it's a bit odd. The beginner one doesn't have any instruction on it. You can look at it two ways ... one with just the little guy (Beto, I think is his name) dancing solo, but he never says a word (doesn't speak English), and you can also do the same routine with a video of an actual class, but again you have to pick it up just by watching them because they don't teach the steps. Then on the advanced one they actually TEACH you how to do the steps. So that seems a little bit backwards to me, but it's still fun to do. It's available new on ebay for about 30 bucks, so I'd definitely get it there.

I'm going to my zumba class tonight! Yay!!

Zumba is tonite at 7. I really want to go....I will let you know if I went and how it goes if I do. I dont go to any scheduled exercise, so I forget...then look up and it is 7 and I missed the class!

Not much to feel proud of today...so I had to dig deep and think of something...

Today I took a stand at work, and even though it may make me unpopular and unliked at work, I know I did the right thing for me.

I am also proud that I finally joined the "Challenge for Bingers" thread...my binge STILL hasn't ended. You'd think that lucking out last week and losing 3 pounds after a week of overeating would convince me to get back on track this week, but it hasn't...I know in my head that I can't have those same results this week because there was no reason for me to have those kinds of results last week...but I just can't stop EATING! And it's not all day...just in the evenings. Tonight for dinner I had a Subway sub...I'd usually have half...tonight I had the whole thing...I had chips...which were fine...and then for no reason I had animal crackers, Mexican rice, hot chocolate, cheese, and Saltines...NO REASON! I don't even think it's TOM for me...so no excuse...ohmigosh that's embarrassing to look at...I have to get back on track, starting NOW!

I'm proud to have stuck to my diet for another day.


One day at a time!

Good Morning you wonderful, beautiful people on the same journey.

How about just for today, we look at 1 thing that we have done that we are proud of.

Didnt exercise today BUT you drank all of your alloted water...YEAH

Went over on your calories BUT you did not have a soda pop all day....YEAH

Small changes lead to larger ones.

We all have something to be proud of, we are here....learning.....

Mine is simple. I have just filled my special Iced Tea Cup (32oz) with water:noway: , ice and lemon. I am very proud of this.

I will post more......

What have YOU done today to make you feel proud??????:flowerforyou:

I had a turkey on wheat with american cheese no mayo or oil- had it dry and it was good lol (usually I load my hoagies or subs whatever you call them with mayo and oil and vinegar but not today I wanted to cut some calories-- also I pushed myself to workout even though I am not in the best mood and I am sore and wanted nothing more than to go and hide under the covers but I did it--

Sorry, but you have to look at it again. I think you should be proud that you are seeking to make change, and you are aware of your issues. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to correcting it!

I think you are wonderful, and I know you will get this under control! Maybe you body needs a break from low cal intake. That may be why you lost weight last week.

Isnt strange and wonderful to taste the food we are eating, not just the condiments?!? That was a great step in the right direction.
It is awesome you worked out when you didnt feel like it, do you feel better now? I am always glad I worked out....when it's over!!

Good for you! You get happy watermelon dance!!

IF you walk into the grocery store feeling proud you ave stuck to it for THREE WEEKS it will be much easier to purchase the good stuff.

I actually printed my starting weight, current weight, goal weight on a piece of paper for weeks when I went shopping. It put a visual right there....hey you REALLY wanna buy THAT??

Good going for 3 weeks. 1 more week and it is habit! Strawberry dance for YOU!

Lets turn that statement around, to a positive I Am Proud statement.

For 3 days you have resisted eating foods that are not good for you. You have chosen a healthier lifestyle, and have stuck to your goals for THREE WHOLE DAYS! No small feat my friend.

One day at a time!!! Your doing great!

I did something very similar last night. Don't stress yourself over it! :flowerforyou: So often I've gotten excited about a big loose, over do it cuz I think "oh this won't hurt, Its just this once" and then get down on myself afterward. Of corse when I'm down on myself I want comfort, and what's comforting to me? Chocolate, and all kinds of other sugary starchy foods.
We just have to get back on track. I've found that positive self talk helps me alot. I feel kinda silly doing it, even in my head, but its worth feeling a little silly to reprogram my brain to be more positive!
