    Truth is I struggle every night NOT to late night binge. I don't know about you, but I feel like I'm sneaking the bite in the middle of the night. Anyone else feel this way?

    Not always in the middle of the night but I have that issue at work. I work in a large Law Enforcement office and there are ALWAYS snacks in the back. Just tonight I went back and there were cinnamon rolls... I took just a sliver. But that was so good that I finished the rest.

    Truth: I am fully aware of what it takes to lose weight and get fit but I lack the determination to get me there. I patrially think I sabotage myself because I don't have a SO and I blame it on my weight. I am afraid that if I lose the weight I will still be alone and won't have the weight to blame for it.

    * Wow that was really hard to admit to myself.

    I definitely do! I failed last night. I get done with the day, finish my food diary, just barely under/right at my calorie goal, feeling really good about myself and my food choices for the day, then I decide I can stay up a little later and watch some tv because I don't have to work the next day...and that triggers my inner fridge raider. Grrrr. I need to just go to bed!

    Done being mad at myself for last night. Got up and did some Wii Fit free step to start the day and will do better tonight!!

    Not so much at night, but during the day. Like yesterday at work when there was cookies. I stood in the kitchen and quickly ate one before anyone came in and saw me.

    Truth is I struggle on the weekends making good decisions. I'm going to try to do it different this weekend. (we'll see)

    The last 45 minutes of my day can completely undo the previous 15 hours of good, healthy eating and control. I get so frustrated with myself!

    it royally pisses me off that my mother-in-law doesn't think i am good enough for her son when she DIDN'T even raise him! she didn't and doesn't want anything to do with him. so why do i bother her? she actually called me a gold digger the very first time i met her! when i met my hubby he was living in a one bedroom appartment where he had to share the kitchen and bathroom....AND he rode a bicycle to work! oh hell ya i am a gold digger! LOL.


    * the hubby has told me not to worry about this as he has no feelings towards his mom at all, but it still makes me so mad

    My truth - I want another child and have been trying, but I am afraid I won't be able to handle another one. I feel like there is barely enough time in the day as it is, and with a new baby I may lose my mind.
  • The truth is that when I think about not eating and try to watch what I eat; that is when I eat the most. I think about it so hard that it's like my brain sends a panic message to my belly making me think I am going to starve myself. Then I just start binge eating! Am I alone in this? Does anyone else get these urges?

    I really doubt my committment to this weight loss journey more days than not, whether it's a good or bad day. I keep going, so I know I am committed but it doesn't feel that way, esp if I slack for a day.

    That fact that you can admit that to yourself means you are getting stronger and that is a positive. Good for you.

    I begrudge every little calorie they take away from me when I lose a pound or two :devil:

    Truth is...even if I make it to goal weight, I know I still won't be happy with how I look. I never really have been since teenagehood, even though I was never heavy until after my 2nd child. I should be happy with where I am now as compared to where I was, but.... I just can't seem to be.

    I, like so many others have eluded to, am a closet eater. I will do a really good job in front of people, but when I am alone watch out! My biggest struggle is the 45 minute drive I have to and from work every day. It's so easy to go through the drive through. Or, I go to Walmart for something we need and end up buying a box of cookies...and eating the whole thing. I've decided I have to indulge responsibly. Making that happen is going to take some time.

    I cheated over the holidays. Two or three days well over 2000 calories, but since I have really tried to buckle down staying under calories and exercising and staying moving, but my scale isn't moving. I'm scared I've messed something up. I'm up and down three pounds day to day, water I know, but I can not get below my 266 I don't know what I'm doing wrong now.

    Now that I'm in my 50s I have doubts about whether I can still lose the weight...is it too late? But I haven't given up.

    No Kathy it is NOT too late. I didn't start Weight Watchers until I was age 60 and lost 45.8# in one year through very hard work, lots of prayer and mostly God's help. We (You) can do it if we really want to be healthier and feel better about ourselves.

    I have no doubt that you can do it but now YOU must have faith in yourself. God promised to give us our need and we need to be healthier.

    Truth: I absolutely hate water. I am drinking 9 glasses a day only through sheer determination. I really hate that it has no flavor. I love soda. I gave up Dr. Pepper and have been drinking 7UP but trying to cut it out to only drink water. I need to get some no cal, no sugar flavorings that I can use or else I see myself saying I am drinking water but actually drinking 7UP instead. :(

    Afraid that I won't be able lose the weight.
    Afraid that once I lose the weight, I'll sabatoge my loss and gain it all back like
    Afraid that once I lose the weight, my husband won't find me attractive....all I can see myself looking like is tons of loose skin and all wrinkled up. I KNOW he loves me and he always will....but I can't help thinking this way...

    I do well during the day but....my name is Kathy and I confess I'm a recovering nighttime binge eater.:embarassed: I'm working really hard on controlling this problem but I have to have a snack before bedtime. I've learned to save calories so I stay under but it is really difficult for me. I'm a work in progress. :ohwell:

    Truth is I did not exercise this week at all. My husband is home sick from work. So I have been just taking it easy this week.

    Truth- I know that weight flactuates and it is completely normal to gain and lose a pound or two depending on several factors day to day. But Im addicted to weigh myself and do it eveyday, and if I did all the right things the day before, and the scale didnt budge even a tad or maybe even went up alittle I get really sad over it! I know it happens and doesnt mean anything, but I just cant seem to get it out of my head!

    Today is my birthday. Last year I committed to getting healthy. This year I am recommitting. I feel better and I have learned to ask for what I need. This is a great gift!
