    computer problems have kept me off the site for about a week. I really mised it. I think I did okay at first, but the last couple of days have been less than committed. Lots of stress at home and work to go along with no computer. Let's just say that I hope I didn't gain much.

    One short note before my am walk.....

    I can relate to losing my self-control over a plate of chicken wings! One key point is to remember those trigger-foods that make us weak, neglect our selves and our hard earned efforts! Just think... all week you have exercised enough to burn a pound --- only to eat it up within 15 minutes - over wings!

    We must remember and reward ourselves with the knowledge that our hard work is deserving of praise and is key to our self-worth and healthy well-being! yeah those wings are good... the little demon sitting on your shoulder is nasty and pushy enough to make you forget about all that hard work! Over wings!

    So many trigger foods ... know them and avoid them... if you must have one... think for a minute... can you only have one?? I know I can't. I am weak over food, i have a love relationship with food and yep I am a food addict! I deal with this by simply avoiding it all together.... it is easier that way.

    Now that I have weighed my options and made a sound resolve to achieve my goals, I have banned trigger foods from my kitchen! ( No junk in my trunk, no sir...ee) When I do groceries, I limit myself to the perimeter of the store... stores are set up so you can obtain foods from all major food groups, by just sticking around the store - no aisle shopping (therefore nothing packaged)... If shopping on a budget, avoiding the trigger aisle can save you a bunch! Plus you pass on the teasing...

    Mind over matter! Jo

    Hope this helps!

    Wise words Joselem!

    I've also started to pay close attention to situations that lead to bad food choices. I do a lot of driving in my business and have eaten enough food behind the wheel to feed a small country. These days I eat nothing in the car except a occasional protein shake (not the same as "eating").

    I also had a bad habit of arriving home really hungry and finding something to eat within the first minute of two. That almost always meant that the pantry or some left over was the choice. None of you will be surprised to hear that the choices almost always ended up as high calorie, high fat, junk food.

    Then.... on to dinner for more of the wrong stuff.

    No matter how hungry I might be when I get home I don't allow myself to do anything other than ignore it for a while. Even if its only 15 minutes to be sure that an old habit doesn't make the choice a bad one.

    I hope this helps someone. It has really helped me.

    Cheers,
    Tim R.

    Since we are posting stats:

    Highest weight 426
    Weight as of last Monday (I will weigh later this morning) 309

    My goal is to get to at least 250.

    59 lbs feels doable to me and that is a first.
    :happy:

    Hi all,
    I have been away from this site for a long, long time. I have just started back to watching my weight etc. for health reasons and because I finally want to do this. Since last week I am proud to report that I have lost 3 pounds and I too have about 75 to lose. I have to say that I was quite upset with raincloud's comment that she suffers with major depressive disorder and has resigned herself to the fact that she will never be happy. I too have suffered with this terrible debilitating disorder for the past 6+ years, and I just want to say that you can beat it! I did! I tried everything there was to try and finally came up with a plan that worked for me. The depression was one of the major reasons contributing to my weight gain over the years and now that I'm over it, the weight is starting to come off. So to raincloud, keep your chin up. You too can be happy again!

    I have not been on for about 2 weeks. I got on the scale this morning( I found my husband's hiding spot). I am down another 2 pounds. I have not been logging my food for 2 weeks and not exercising. I had some weird health thing going on but feel much better so I am back on track.

    I truly think that the Day at a Time option is the ONLY way I will ever achieve my goal! Even when I get done logging food and exercise for the day, and the banner says I'll weigh 240 lbs in 5 weeks, it just seems impossible. So I'm just gonna worry about this day, and this meal, and this snack, and this exercise. Otherwise I'll end up self sabotaging, yet again.
