Yes x 3
I used to be one of those who thought LOL meant Lots of Love and would end a text to my sisters or mom with it!😂 My children thought it was hilarious and finally straightened me out! 🤦♀️ ASAP and LOL are the ones I probably use the most. One son uses IKR (I know, right) a lot when texting me.5 -

The bluebells on our walk were beautiful- but my dog was very stubborn and refused to look at the camera when I tried to take her photo!
Our dog never liked camera either

Track: nope
Under calorie goal: nope
Passes used: 5... officially out of the running for the winner’s circle. At this point, I’m just struggling to get myself back on track... have any of you realized how much of a head game weight loss is? You really have to have your head in the game... mine sadly has been stressed out with other things but if I can just hang on and try not to gain weight, I’ll be doing well....6 -

YES!! You are so right! It's taken me over a month to get my head BACK in the game after my knee and shoulder injuries at the end of March.
At that time I put my daily calorie goal up to a maintenance level of 1900 and held at approx the same weight for 6 weeks. Im just now (in the last 2 days) been able to get my head back on straight and lowered it back down to 1400. 😥
I'm just very glad I didnt stop logging or showing up in the UAC during that time!
I'm sorry you're feeling so stressed out. What things can you do in the short term so that you dont lose all of your momentum and hard work?2 -

@achagpar - sometimes it’s such a struggle and it’s hard to give yourself grace to wait it out until your head is back in it. Focusing on staying where you are is exactly what you should do right now. If you’re stressed with other things, don’t add to it by making yourself frustrated that you’re not losing weight. Keep tracking and checking in, ride this out, and you’ll be back at it one of these days and glad you didn’t throw in the towel.
For me, the head game is the voice in my head saying “you’re never going to be thin again, you’re just old and frumpy, eat what you want and die happy, this is too hard, why are you even trying...” I heard recently that the best way to combat those voices is with a strong “why”. So when that voice rears it’s ugly head, you can shout it down with the reason you are worthy and the reason you’re going to stick with it and persevere.
My weight has been ticking slightly up the past couple days. My calories have been good but I feel like I’m retaining water. I drank a lot of water yesterday to try and remedy that. Was down .2 this AM. I’ll stay the course and see what happens the next couple of days.
I have nothing to add to the acronym list. But my favorite so far is tinstaafl. Now that I can incorporate!

@achagpar I totally agree about the head game aspect. In my most recent weight journey, that has been with the UAC, my head was quite good until I hit maintenance. The challenge of finding stasis and the mental aspect of being ok with and those gains that you actually need to balance out any losses is a slightly different one than during the months of loss. Given that mental challenges can happen at any point, during losing phase or in the future maintenance, addressing the head game aspect in each of us is important in order to achieve life long success and habits. One thing that being in the UAC has helped with is that my stumbles are shorter lived, which is awesome.
During this stressful stretch, is there any way you can find the time to pre-track? I have found that if I can deal with that short term "burden" of planning in advance, then the mental stress of "what am I eating next" is eased for that period of time I pre-tracked. I have pre-tracked as much as 10 days in the past (rare, but got me through). I also find that in the pre-track, I "steal" previous days by hitting "copy to" and select the next date. Also, feeling the success of even a single day, can remove that "failure" stress. It sounds like you have general life stressors going on, but if your diet piece can not add to your stresses it helps you twofold by helping your health and not adding more stress to everything else that is going on. Just and idea.
Also, if the above is not pertinent, consider sharing with the group your dynamics and you might get some great feedback that helps you out. If you look at May 19, @winner_in_life put up a post this morning that may be beneficial to check out and work off of.

"...and die happy". This what I thought at the beginning of the pandemic. We are all going to die.. Who cares whether fat or slim. In one year I was still on this side of the world but with more kilos... This is unbelievable was fear can do with a human 4 -
I thought of two more acronyms today as I was typing my post here on MFP and commenting on others. HHD (Happy Hump Day!) and WFH (work from home!) I just had to pop back on here and share them because I didn't want any of y'all to have FOMO!

@_JeffreyD_ lol I see what you did there!
@Bovaryoo I'd rather emojis too. This one can never be over used --> 🤷🏾♀️
At my current place of work, we have an internal ability to chat. That said, we make up many acronyms because we're paranoid our IT Team does randoms audits of chat usage. An example of two...
PITA (common parlance): pain in the (butt)
P.A. (made up): professionally assertive
Let's just say PITA and PA can be used interchangeably when it comes to the email requests (or follow ups) we send to colleagues outside of our team. 🤷🏾♀️
