Great job - and yes, forgive yourself. None of us is perfect. It is a day by day work, baby steps! You succeeded - you got on here!!!0 -

Losing a fur friend is always hard on us, and if food is your comfort go to, yes this will trigger that too. It's OK. You will get through this and be successful again. Take care of yourself, set small goals to start and then build on that success.
Take care. I know it hurts, but eventually you will feel better and will be able to focus on the happier times with your cat.
Thank you - missed you guys to! I know this is what I NEED to stay focused - you guys!0 -
Just for Today 2/18
1. log everything
2. exercise 30 minutes
3. forgive myself for not being perfect
Last night I forgave myself for not being perfect and I felt great! It may seem like such a small thing, but for me it was huge. I do not have a spotless, looks like it belongs on a magazine house. I do not need to be model thin. I do not need to look like I just stepped out of a magazine shoot. I can be me with all my imperfections. As long as I continue to try to make improvements, I am moving forward.
Just for Today 2/19
1. exercise 30 minutes
2. log everything

Joan I am so sorry about your cat, that is just heartbreaking. Hang in there! Each day is a fresh start and an opportunity to be healthier and you are worth it.
So I reached my goals yesterday and even surpassed my running goal by half a mile. Just for today 2/19:
1) log everything
2) get in my 30 mins cardio
3) be patient with myself change doesn't happen over night
Good luck everyone and happy Thursday0 -
Joan, so good to see your face again I was getting worried about you. I am so sorry to hear about your cat. I lost my dog a few years ago and it set me into a tail spin. I did not even connect the dots that her death made me stop working out , eating right ect.... I did not even realize it until about a year after that is what triggered my downhill spiral. One day just turned into another filled with no good choices. You are still on here after going through her death and that is awesome. You are a champion and you can do this. I think it is important for us to be kind to ourselves and sometimes we need a day to just let it all go. Just don't be like me and let it turn into too many days.... 0

Ya, had a good day yesterday. Achieved most of my goals but need to focus more on hydration.
Yesterdays Goal Success...
1. Goal to consume at least 60% protein, less than 15% fat, and at least 64oz of water. ...little goals and we'll work up from there.
Today's Goals....
Consume at least 64oz H2O.
Get a better protein shake (just discovered mine is stocked full of sugars. ...we can do better)
Maintain the 60protein/25carb/15fat.
Bonus I finally broke through the plateau. ...ya. Lost 0.6lbs finally putting me under the 180...mind you I don't contribute that to dehydration. I've been very dedicated to my liquids. Thank you so much for your support.
Woo-hoo! Good job!
I finally got the scale to move again too--lost 2 more pounds. Not much, but for me ANY movement is an accomplishment.0 -
just for today Wednesday 2/18
1.) do my workout on the treadmill after work today for 40 minutes + (I did it, YEAH)
just for today Thursday
1.) Get through the appraiser coming to my house today for my refinance
2.) Get through a day of work with these horrible cold temps we have
3.) be okay with taking a day off from working out, I have a full load today. Try not to feel guilty about missing one day.0 -
Congrats everyone on your goals for the day. Busy day/week with the weather so haven't posted in the last few days.
Goals for today:
1) do 55 minutes on treadmill-done
2) drink 6-8 glasses water
3) keep at or under 1200 calories
4) log everything I eat
I weighed today and lost 2 lbs! Yea me!!
I'm back in my size 14 pants!!
I just need to stay focused.
I certainly will be glad when it warms up here.
Joan: I am so sorry for the loss of your cat. I am an animal lover, and have 4 cats, 4 dogs, 2 guinea pigs and a couple of fish (though I'm not very attached to the fish! lol) But honestly, I take losing any of them very seriously. They are all like my children and I cry at the loss of any of them. Take your time to get over them.
Last year I hit a deer driving to work and it must have broken it's legs. My car was totaled, I was thankfully not hurt. I was crying terribly and had to tell the police I was not hurt but I was crying because the deer was hurt and I knew she was suffering. I was begging them to get animal control out there to put her down. They hadn't arrived by the time I left, but they must have come because the deer was gone the next day. I know for many people that would have been stupid crying for an animal suffering but for me it is very real. I love my animals and I hate to see any animal suffer. God bless you as find comfort in the days ahead.

Donna, I cried when I drove over a snake that was across the road (unavoidable) in Florida. I can't imagine how I would have felt if I hit something warm blooded like a deer. Nothing embarrassing about compassion.

This sounds like the perfect group of easy does it, but do it! folks.
I've only been doing this for 5 days. I'm good at tracking. I love fruits and veggies and my carbs are off the chart. Any suggestions?0 -
Sometimes I feel like a failure for keep having to start over and over again.
...
We all struggle, but - we are all going to keep on trying!!
YES!
I'm sorry for your personal loss. Mortality is a heavy burden.
Thanks for coming back to us!!!
This site and boards like this keep me going.

I also am a animal lover, and now we are without any little furbabies. I want to get another one, but will probably wait awhile - another cat will not replace our little Annie just yet.
- I hear you on the deer. We have woods behind our house, with lots of deer and racoon. I would be the same way if I hurt a deer. But glad you were OK
Now Rae -- I don't know if I would be the same for snakes LOL I have to say, I hate snakes!!!! 0 -
It is so good to be back - you guys are the best! Hubby wanted a ice tea from McDonalds, and I was so close to getting myself a cookie to eat on the way home, but stopped myself. After all - I am going to report to all of you how I did today, and I want all smiley faces tomorrow!0

Yes please add me0

This is an awesome group. So much support. So far it's a good day, but I do well at work, because I don't have all those snacks here. At home I have 2-16 year olds and I get them snacks. I do get them snacks that I don't like which helps me alot and then I try to stay upstairs and not come down except on occasion if I need to do things.
This weather is totally sucking here, there is a chance for frozen precipitation tomorrow right at the morning rush hour. So if it gets bad, I will be back at home again, in which I get bored, which is a bad thing for me, because I want to eat.
Well, I'm just going to keep trying to stay strong and I know I will prevail as long as I keep trying and don't give up.
Everyone have a good evening and I enjoy hearing from everyone on this post.0 -
Losingrae: I totally understand about crying about the snake. lol Thanks for the support.0

1. Take a walk. I'm taking extra clothes with me so I can get a hike in the snow.
Hiking in snow is harder than I remember. But I did have fun.
2. keep track of my eating and no snacking after 9pm.
3. Relax and enjoy my half day off. I know grocery shopping is not relaxing for some people, but I enjoyed getting a chance to pick out healthy choices for my next week.
Bonus I had enough time to cut up some fruit and make a salad that I can grab for my lunches the next couple of days.
So Happy Friday Everyone! Just for today I will
1. Take a walk. I will be able to get out of work for a while, so I need to get to the mall and walk.
2. keep track of my eating and no snacking after 10 pm
3. Focus on the positive. Dwelling on the negative does not help anyone.
Have a Good Day!

Yesterday, 2/19
1. Carry a glass of water with me so I remember to drink instead of eating
2. Log everything I eat I SO wanted to get a cookie at McDonalds, but I stopped myself. Then last nite I went to my quilting club meeting - they had all these goodies all over the place - cookies,chips, even brownies! But I told myself I was not hungry, and walked away. A huge victory for me. I want these smiley faces!
3. Report here tomorrow how I did, and do it again tomorrow!!
So Just for today, friday
1. Carry that glass of water with me all day to remind me to drink water
2. Log everybite that I eat
3. Remember that to change old habits, develop a new habit. I have a habit of eating in the evenings - my worse time. So working on developing a new habit instead of eating!
4. Report here how I did - and do it again the next day!
I hope you all have a great FRiday!0 -

"You haven't failed until you quit trying"0 -
Just for today I'll concentrate on getting myself to my personal training weekend without spending time worrying about whether I'm ready, or going to pass, or fail, or whatever.0
