    I calculated the change in my BMI, based on the 6 pounds I lost in August...
    I started the month at 28.2, and ended the month at 27.1.
    If I lose another 5 pounds this month, I'll be at 26.2...
    Getting closer and closer to 25...
    YAY!

    Woohoo!!! :flowerforyou:

    Rough week, ladies!

    Time for some honesty-- I have attended one class since school started 2 weeks ago. This week, I have been overeating everyday. I have not been exercising, and I have all out binged twice. Before this week, it had been months and months since I have done that.

    I am struggling! Ever had so much on your plate that you just didn't do ANY of it? That is where I am at. I am buckling, choking, whatever you want to call it. While focusing on my LSAT, I realize there is NO WAY I will get my score where I want it to be in a month so I am postponing my test. This will put law school off for an entire year, but it is a difference between going to a mediocre school with the possibility of some scholarship money and going to a top school with substantial scholarship money. I made the final decision last night. Despite feeling relieved of that burden, I binged big time.

    Today is a new day. I am starting it with nothing on my plate but 12 hours (less than I have ever taken any other semester) and improving my health. I feel good about it! My weigh in tomorrow probably won't be good but I am prepared for that.

    Sorry for unloading on you guys! It feels good to get it off my chest and to be around people who understand. I am sure a lot of you have done the emotional binging before and know how crummy it feels. Having a place to talk to about it--- healing!

    Was so busy in August that I wasn't on much, but I think September will be a slower work month for me. I hope!

    Today I am 149! I will be very happy if I never see 150 again. :bigsmile:

    How are you all doing?

    Food Challenge for this long weekend:

    STAY ON TRACK!

    Sounds easy, will probably be very hard. The last long weekend of summer.

    Motivational Advice if you do fall off the wagon.

    GET RIGHT BACK ON. DON'T WAIT A DAY BUT ADMIT YOU FELL OFF AND GET RIGHT BACK ON.

    Remember, new habits (especially eating ones) take a very long time to become habits. It takes practice to be a healthy eater.

    Have an awesome weekend!

    I guess that I should have posted my weight. My current weight is 224, so I guess that I will be aiming for 219 by the end of September. At least I will finally be under 220!!!! ( knock wood) :happy:
