But it will be coming off (plus extra!) next week! Life happens. This is all about losing weight, getting healthy and learning to live with the fact that sometimes, you will indulge and your weight will go up. But with control, diligence and patience, it will come down again, and you will feel amazing. Not just because you lost the weight. But because you were able to indulge without getting out of control. Eating a burger one night and then thinking "well I already screwed up the week, might as well make it a good one" is not the way to do it. But eating a burger and then thinking "that burger was great! I might add some extra exercise the rest of the week and do some calorie adjusting, so my habits stay healthy" is better. I love food. And I won't ever see food as just fuel for the body. My mind doesn't work that way. The taste and flavors of food make me soooo happy. But learning to enjoy even the 1300 calorie burgers, while still being able to lose weight makes the journey even better. And makes me feel amazing. HAPPY THURSDAY!!!!

Was about to turn back to food to drown my sorrows. I did snack, but on a 100 calorie bag of mini muffins. Helped the sweet tooth that came because of my stress today. Didn't get any walking in. Still have not been able to get up early in the morning. Maybe I need to rethink that and try another time to get some walking in. On a side note, I have tracked my weight each day. So far it has gone in the right direction, minus one day. I think this weeks weigh in will be a decent one. Hope you all had a wonderful day and a great night! See you in the AM!

I got on the scale today and saw I already met my goal for the week and still had 3 days left in the week. So I thought... why not just take the day off, no exercise today! I finished my day with a nice long soak in the hot tub and a glass of red wine. Back at it tomorrow but certainly enjoyed today!

It fit nice and comfortably as though I was the perfect size for it! I was so excited, because it was too tight for me to wear comfortably in public without a sweater/zip up hoodie on top. YAY!
gjaholy33 wrote: Β» Daily Post Thursday Track yes Calories yes under Exercise no Water 120oz Goals/comments So I explained how I'm reevaluating my daily intake. Well one of the things I have to be mindful are my carbs. What I now do is put my recipe in MYFITNESSPAL beforehand to see how much carbs will be in the meal. Like yesterday since money is extremely tight; I wanted my Aide to make ground Turkey chili with veggies since I miss my beans. So I added only one can of black, pinto beans, diced tomatoes and tomato paste instead of the 2 I usually used (H7GE DIFFERENCE). Also realize it's best to hold the actual can of the item as the app can be way off on the calories. Anyway although I was under my calories I didn't reach my 800-1000 goal only had 746 but I was full. My stomach is shrinking so much I don't need as much anymore which is amazing. Also I only went over 3 grams of my carbs 90 grams a day. Not bad. So yesterday was a a good day foodwise Here'sa pick of my chili so good. Still STAYING POSITIVE ππΎππΎππΎππππ

DeshotelK wrote: Β» I have a question for you all. How do you handle living with someone who is a junk food junkie? My husband knows I don't want ice cream, chips, candy, cakes, etc. in the house all the time. I do buy some on occasion, but not every time I shop. I told him that I feel those things should be occasional treats on weekends or special days like a birthday and such. He is overweight and doesn't care and I don't pressure him not to eat all of the things he loves. He knows how I feel about it and why. Every time he goes to the store he buys my favorite ice cream or cookies or chocolate and says he was thinking of me and wanted to treat me. I've asked him not to do this, yet he continues. How do you handle situations like this?
tinak33 wrote: Β» I don't want to assume sabotage, so I am gonna say that maybe he does think of you, know those are your favorites, and genuinely just wants to get you something. Get a new list of snack foods. Maybe those crunchy veggie sticks in the snack aisle, instead of chips. Or banana chips. I love those.... Or the weight watchers small ice creams, or the healthy fruit popsicles, instead of the other half gallon ice creams. When things come in those larger containers, I tend to give myself larger portions. Having the one serving containers, helps with portion control. Or ask for the Italian ice instead. If you want ALL of those gone... Then tell him what snacks you love now. Tell him that the cookies and chocolate are nice, but you don't enjoy them like you used to. And then list your new favorite snacks. Write them down, and put them on your refrigerator. Then when he gets snacks, and he sees your old favorite ice cream, he may stop and think "oh, she doesn't like that one anymore... where are the snacks she likes?" And then get the other things. It will depend on his mindset of why he continually buys these things when you said you don't want them.... But again, I want to assume he really does think of you and want to get your favorites. He just doesn't know what they are anymore.

He just doesn't know what they are anymore. I keep a list of alternative snacks that I like. Halo Top vs. Blue Bell, fruits vs. cookies/cake, individual portion size things vs. large bags/packages. He knows. It's very frustrating. I tell myself "just don't eat it", but it's easier said than done. He won't stop so I need to figure out a way to handle it without caving in and eating it.
