Why give up for the month now? There are still 5 days left in October ... you could easily slip back down in to the 160s or go up even further if you "tap out" like you say. You say this is where you always give up so don't repeat the pattern! It doesn't seem logical at all to do so. Prove to yourself you can change this…

@tdunnegan Thank you! I've had a very rough week food wise. Even more than normal. For the first time since January, I didn't log ALL my indiscretions nor did I weigh myself including for this morning's weigh-in. (My day for weighing in is Thursday) I went to the doctor for an earache and she ordered all kinds of tests and…

I love cottage cheese! I like to use a stick blender to blend it smooth and add sweetener and different extracts like rum or maple and eat it like dessert. I also sometimes add PB2 & cocoa. (I use a tall cup that came with the blender) I also love it in smoothies for some extra creaminess and protein. I also eat it plain…

I'm assuming you're just joking and trying to make light of things but if you're not ... "your stupid body" is not "trying to make you angry". That's your brain and your thoughts. Try to be kinder to yourself and know that this is a process of highs & lows, no matter how "good" you're being. Food weight, waste, water…

My mom made the most amazing bread pudding with raisins and always served it with warm, homemade cherry sauce. I would eat it now as a mentally healthy food but the recipe is long gone from her memory and it was never written down. She also made delicious, thin homemade pancakes that were just this side of crepes and she…

Big Hugs to you, Katrena! It sounds like you've had a rough go of it with your own health and the passing of your best friend. I hope you find support & comfort here as we all try to reach our goals together.

Absolutely you can! The more the merrier. :) This is just for this month and then we'll be on to the summer challenge for June, July & August.

I'm in the same boat ... this has been going on my entire life except for a very brief period in my mid 20s when I was at a weight that could be considered normal. Are you continuing on with us? I didn't see your stats for May. I hope you're joining us!

This is so timely you saying this! I'm also at the weight I usually give up and quit for whatever reason (250) but I'm also not going to cave in this time. I have so many bad days but this time I always get back on track again, no matter how bad the days are, and keep going. I've decided to be patient with myself and the…

@kbeyer23 I should also add "If you're up to doing it. I'm not an organized person and would have trouble doing that so I appreciate anyone taking the time to do it for us."

I would love that.

LOL! I'll go with that. :smiley: I wonder where everyone is today? I'm just going to keep track of my own stats and keep going until I reach goal.

I'm just going to go ahead and start if that's okay. I hope EveryOne has a very successful month!

I just bought a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal that I thought I'd use as a snack or as a yogurt topping for some crunchiness and polished off the entire box in 2 sittings. It turns out I love it too much, too.
