I cannot believe what I saw on the scale this morning. I guess I didn't realize how much crap I have been eating.
The day before Thanksgiving I weighed 266 lbs. Now, the day after Christmas, I weigh 287 lbs!! Talk about a blow!!

I threw away about 4 months of weight loss.
I WILL NOT quit. I went to the gym today and did 30 mins on the stationary bike, 33 mins on the Elliptical, and 10 mins on the treadmill. I walked out of the gym 2 lbs lighter. I WILL BE BACK!!!!

    I bet a dollar you will lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks if you eat clean. A LOT of it is water retention........and new fat goes really quick. Do not fret, stress makes it worse.

    you did it before, you can do it again.

    Good Luck!! jeannie

    Quitting isn't an option, right? Think of it as a learning experience, and let's not repeat the behaviour during the next holiday season. If you learn, then it wasn't wasted time in the long run.

    I tried pretty hard not to go out of conrol. But I did eat foods I never eat. A little here and there. I guess really for the season, I did well. But I feel absolutely a good 5 pd gain if not 10. But I went to the Y today andput in 30 on the AMT monster. And there is no other way than to get on track again.

    Why? Because I enjoyed all that sweet salty food. But i want to be healthy.
    I want to be smaller.
    I want to look in the mirror and be proud of myself.
    I want to run after the kids this summer.
    I want to not be embarrashed of my size.
    I want to get into that new outfit that i was given for a present that is two sizes too small.
    I want to feel good in the heat this summer instead of heavy and lethargic.
    I want to go to a theme park and ride on the rides.
    I want to be the best Kathy I can be.
