Hello everyone,

@Heretochange88 We are always here for you. You are doing really well. Look for patterns of when you feel defeated and when you feel in power. I usually feel defeated when I am tired or need to eat. I feel more powerful when I am focusing on my sleep and eating on time. Keep those NSV close at hand and a list of distractions when you feel like eating something you don't want to eat. Also, have some food that are low calorie, high fiber food like salad or veggies that is allowed on your program. Put them in a fancy bowl or something that makes it feel really special. Great job reaching out to groups for support. You are doing this and you are strong! You keep pushing and not stop. Also, change your mindset. Think about that you want more energy, more mobility, more _____, instead of wanting to get rid of body, rid of ____. By putting it in positive terms your body can handle it with less stress. Positive thoughts make happy hormones. So phrase all your wishes in positive terms and see how that goes. Dream BIG of all you are GOING to do. I am very proud of you and all your success. Keep up the superb work.

Hello everyone,
Just popping in to say hello, and it is a new week in this challenge. I had pancakes with my grandkids this morning. Sugar soared, then dropped. I am back to normal now, but really wiped my energy. I think I am back on track now. I had a well-balanced meal for lunch and felt better. I need to plan my food, time, exercises, etc. In other words, I NEED to do more self-care. Thank you guys. Enjoy your day.

Hang in there. When you are frustrated with the pace of your loss, look at those NSV’s. You are doing fantastic. You were number one in weight loss for the month of October on our team, You placed in the top three for last week. It has taken me almost 4 years to lose what I have lost. I see people lose weight week after week and it can be frustrating for me. I think, “why can’t I be like that”. Bottom line is we all lose weight differently. We all have different struggles. I know we want the weight gone by yesterday but you are working hard and you will lose. I don’t know which group you are trying for food addicts but I have known a few people that have gone to over eaters anonymous and really found it helpful. Talking to others who have had the same struggle helps. I know seeking help for binge eating disorder is what changed my life when it came to weight loss. Sorry I rambled. .

You didn't ramble at all! Thankyou for your amazing insight! You are right and I have been there with slowed weight loss, or super fast weight loss that wasn't sustainable. I am just so determined to become someone that I can be proud of, and I want to be that person now... it is a journey though! I have to be loving and patient!

I have been to Overeaters Anonymous. There are two great online meetings that I was introduced to- one for people who have relapsed a lot and one that is a special focus for people who have/had 100+lb to lose. I definitely need to reach out to some local people though for some fellowship!

Thanks again, Linda, you're truly awesome!
