@sleepymom5 @cyndiesstuff: yeah, I guess you can move me to the cheer squad for now.
And don't worry, I will not give up on my food plan and exercise. That is all still on track.1 -
@Mrsbell8well stay strong, I will pray for you and family.1

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well!
Yesterday was a set-back, but only for one day, I am back on track today. My younger son has a loft bed, which he is getting too big for, so we are selling it. The lady that is buying it was supposed to pick it up last night. I was planning on working out after she left, but of course she never showed, so I never worked out. It got later & later and I was too tired. I started my fast after I ate dinner, but still felt hungry and went on a binge. I ate chocolate, ice cream etc. I did not feel great afterwards, but I did it anyway. Luckily, the scale stayed the same this morning. I am back on track today. Going to the gym after work. Amazing how quickly things can turn around.
Have a great day!

According to Beck Diet Solution, don’t fool yourself into thinking that not working on your weight loss goal is the “easy way out.” It is NOT easy feeling out of control. It's NOT easy worrying about your eating/weight/health. It's NOT easy feeling overstuffed. It's NOT easy not fitting into your clothes. None of those things are easy!
The most important quality to lose weight successfully is to have is PERSISTENCE! The ability to not give up, even when the going gets hard. Because, in the journey of weight loss and maintenance, the journey WILL get hard, and then it will get easier, and then it will get harder again, and then easier. That’s just the process. The trick it sticking with it during the hard times, knowing that there’s a better time around the corner.
So then it follows that, being accountable for your actions is a critical part of successful weight loss because it enables you to recognize mistakes, which then allows you to learn from them for the future. It’s not about making yourself feel bad for making mistakes, it’s about learning from them to help you keep moving forward. Next time you make a mistake, take few moments and answer these three questions:
1.What happened/what was the situation?
2.What were the sabotaging thoughts that got in my way?
3.What can I say and/or do differently the next time?

daily check in for Monday and Tuesday
@Mrsbell8well hugs to you what a horrible thing to go through. Well done for staying strong and remembering why you do what you do. I had a similar experience when my dad had a stroke. It is horrible to see our loved ones suffering like that particularly with everything else that is going on.
@phoebe112476 well done on your loss and thank you for bringing PNP into my life. via @sleepymom5
I have been of work today and yesterday as LO had a fever. She is playing ball now so it is safe to say she has recovered. On the Monday the school rang so I dashed back to pick her up. I work about an hour away (it isn't far but the traffic is always bad). It put me on the back foot a bit and a ate a lot of naughties but managed to stay in the weight loss zone. Today I made some really nutritious choices but I am quite hungry. Today I listened to a podcast which was a revelation it talks about the different reasons why we eat:- fuel, joy, fog and storm. I am definately a storm eater at my worst. Today has been a fuel kinda of day. The food has been really delicious. It is funny though because I was congratulating myself for having all my lunches ready waiting for me in the fridge at work and I am not there but it doesn't matter I had healthy food at home to eat. I have also changed the way I journal to go deeper with my choices and thoughts.2 -
@Mrsbell8well oh my goodness your poor mom. I heard on the radio yesterday that the Monday following daylight savings time there is a 24% increased risk for a heart attack. I guess all the work, poor by yummy food choices and lack of sleep all played into this.2

@phoebe112476 Nice loss!
@kirsten11872 We all have those days! I am glad you are getting back on track. You really have been doing so well. Keep it going!
@amsandos Glad the little one is feeling better. I was listening to a podcast when she touched upon those too. It makes a lot of sense. I need to journal my feelings more when I go off the rails. I do journal every morning before I come on here but I need to go a little deeper why I want to eat.2 -
@Mrsbell8well so sorry for your lost and hope your mom gets better.
This time change is horrible. Haven't been able to get up in the morning. And it doesn't help that I think I'm getting sick. I did make it to Zumba though.3 -
@ljdanny Maybe you are coming down with something and need the rest. Hopefully you will get back into the swing of it soon. I am not getting up nearly as early as you but I really like having my workout done before my day starts. I am not going to lie, by Thursday I am not as excited as I was earlier in the week but I get up because my day goes so much better. Glad you got to zumba . I know you enjoy that!3

Good evening! I have been staying on track with calories and staying off junk very well which is actually shocking to me... bc I don’t ever recall being so disciplined when here. But I’m very motivated- and I’ll tell you why down below.
I got pretty sick 2 days ago so maybe that’s the reason too. My appetite ain’t the best.
However, as much as I love my mom.... ...she has been really struggling with keeping her thoughts about my weight and weighing food for herself.
My husband and I came to conclusion she is “jealous”. Which is ridiculous bc it is what it is.
I got laughed at for weighing my food and told I eat too little and if she ate that little she would also be “skinny” (I absolutely don’t eat too little I get my 1300-1500cals from mostly protein and veggies and I skip all the carby stuff)
My mom always has been fighting with her weight and this time she really is much heavier and I think she can’t stand the fact I’m not eatiang junk. And she is.
She has been following some weird “lifestyle” for years and got down to maybe 160 and kept it off for some time but last 1-2 years she is back close to 200 lbs. I have been noticing her eating patterns. She eats some what healthy but she eats so so much. Snacks and eats 10 times a day so of course she is gaining. She is in denial how much she eats.
And she can’t have conversation with me that doesn’t involve diet and putting me down and competing with me
It’s all about comparing herself and her “lifestyle” to mine and saying well I lost 40 pounds before and I actually ate not starved myself.
Sorry for rambling but I’m shocked. I’m frustrated how much the fact im losing weight and looking good is hurtful to her.
She is my mom and I love her but it’s very hard. I’m trying so hard to change topics and talk about anything else but it’s almost impossible. I asked her multiple times not to start topics that we argue about. She just always makes fun of calorie counting and literally looking up and sending me links on YouTube where people bash calorie counting.
Other than that life is good lol 😂6 -

In a few weeks I'm going to be in the 140s for the first time in probably 7 years.
I'm 6 lbs away from a 20 lb loss.
I can't say enough how thankful I am to have come across this group and joined; y'all are wonderful and I could not see this success without you!7 -
Check in for: Tuesday
Logged food: yes and under
Water: 80 oz
Exercise and Steps: 45 min Leslie Sansone video and 10,323 steps
1/2 way through the week! I am having a great week. Everything is on track. My daughter is doing well, we are starting to taper her off her extra medication, I am caught up with the house, work is going as well as can be expected so I am really feeling great! I am really hoping I am making some heathy routines that I will keep up. I love planning my days and getting up early, it makes things so much easier. Gtg do my Leslie video. Hope everyone has a great day!
@lenka1 I am sorry that you are going through this with your Mom especially when you don't get home very often and would rather have a pleasant visit. I agree with you, sounds like she may be jealous that you are doing so well. You look fantastic and most of all you are doing all of this for your health too. Maybe reassure her that this is for your health not looks. I am sure you have done that already. Too bad you can't share with her the things you have learned, it could help her too. Hang in there and we are here to vent when things get frustrating.
@GingerPwr Nice loss! The 150s will soon be behind you!! We are so lucky to have you on our team! You are such an active, supportive and helpful member!7 -

Had a better day yesterday. got my hair colored and got a wax. always feel better when i was the grey out of my hair. I have been really thinking hard about this new life style i am working on creating. and this morning i cannot get an old friend out of my mind. he had worked hard his whole life, struggled quietly with his weight. but you could tell he struggled. then it was time for him to retire. he was able to retire at 65. over the next two years i watched as his weight packed on. he had never learned how to live and not eat out of control. he never said that but his weight told the story. he sat in my office many time and confided in me that he didn't know what to do but he knew he had to do something. then, 3 weeks ago, i got a phone call. my friend, my sweet friend, had died alone in his apartment from a massive heart attack. and was there for two weeks, they believe, before someone found him. now i am not telling you this to feel bad for me or him. i am telling you this because you have to take your health seriously. you need to do what ever it takes to make this happen. you need to be selfish and put you first. i am committed to make this change. i will do it for myself first but second for my dear friend who couldn't and wouldn't find his strength.
@amsandos you are doing so well. spend some time analyzing why you ate the "naughties" and then make a plan for what you will do next time. write it down and put it in you car. and then read it when you get that feeling. and trust me there will be a next time.
@ljdanny yes. the time change does cause distress. i just can't stop the feeling of something is wrong. i will adjust, i always do. but why can't we just leave the clocks alone.
@lenka1 wow. the situation with your mom sounds like a tough one. but remember she is entitled to her own opinion. the same as you are entitled to yours. we can't change how others think. don't argue with her. just tell her, she can eat her way and you will eat yours and you refuse to talk about it any more and if she continues... leave. we teach others how to treat us. a few times of standing up to her like this and not arguing just leaving. she will get the picture. i had to do the same to my mom. i feel for you. its not easy either way.
@GingerPwr ohhh girl look at that loss. great job. keep it up! the 140's are right around the corner.
@sleepymom5 awesome job pam. you are a rock star. new job, kid problems, and still on track. you have tons of credit worth acts.
@Mrsbell8well a half pound is good when you are getting so close to goal. you are doing awesome. with everything you have going on and you have still been loving yourself. great self care. keep that up!6 -
I will take the loss. Not an easy week.
@GingerPwr I’m so proud of you. With all your weekend food and celebrations you still lost weight. I’m very excited for you.
@sleepymom5 I’m really happy your finding a groove that works for you. I appreciate all the prayers and kind supportive words. Glad ur daughter is doing better.
@lenka1 sorry about your mom dynamic. There are lots of us that can relate to mother daughter weight loss energies. I’m really impressed how well your doing! Great job. Hang in there.
Thanks everyone for all the prayers.
Mom is still in CC but doing better. She swears this time she is changing her life around.
Maybe we can start sharing meals again.
Yes it was sobering. I felt like I literally held on to my mom and pulled her away from death. Someday maybe She can die peacefully in her sleep. Not in agony like this weekend.
Im hoping both my parents have some happy healthy years yet ahead of them.
We can do this team!
I can still make my goal of 151 by April 1st.
How about the rest of the team? Are you on track? Do you need to tweak and regroup.
We can do this together!4
