@Sand_TIger Thank you so much for the encouragement. I like your suggestion of setting a fitness goal and focusing on that. I’m going on vacation in July and I definitely want to be able to be a “tourist “ without getting tired. I may even set a NSV goal of not stepping on the scale every day! It seems to have a bad effect…

This is very insightful for me. I have found that I will sometimes not exercise at all because I think I have to workout like an Olympian or it to be beneficial.

I’m feeling depressed. I’m not losing. When I look in the mirror, I feel old, fat, unattractive. I’d lost lost 56 lbs but , over 2020, gained back 20. I’ve been trying to lose it again but I can’t seem to get back in the groove. I’m going to try to start coming to this page daily and read about all of the NSF’s. I feel…

It’s time for me to be honest with myself. I’m not losing weight because I’m still eating 2500 to 2700 calories two to three days a week. I can’t make up for that. Lowering my calorie goal won’t change anything. I have to stick the the goal I’ve set for myself EVERY DAY. JFT Log everything Start with only one serving Pay…

Log everything Exercise even if only for ten minutes Start with only one serving Pay attention to the physical effects of the food I eat Be kind to my body

Log everything 💚 Exercise even if only for ten minutes 💚 Start with only one serving 💛 Pay attention to the physical effects of the food I eat 💚 Be kind to my body 💚

@pridesabtch thank you for the encouragement!

Not the best day but, today is a new one. I’m learning that eating whatever you want is not being kind to yourself or your body.

I successfully interrupted a a possible binge. I counted out the Cheetos one serving at a time rather than taking the whole bag to the couch! I wanted more but had sugar free gum instead.

I went back to the gym today. It’s been months and I’m happy to say I did 20 minutes on the elliptical and it didn’t kill me!

It amazing how something so simple as stating your intentions and writing them down can make such a big difference. I was on weight watchers and everything was set up by weeks. I’m having much more success taking it one day at a time with these small goals. JFT Log everything Exercise even if only for ten minutes Start…

✅ It was a good day 🙂

I’ve been experimenting portion sizes to see at what point I really feel full. Today, at both breakfast and lunch, I realized I was eating HALF of what I used to and feeling satisfied.

@TerriRichardson112 Thank you for the encouragement. I feel much better today and I am committed to paying closer attention to how certain foods make me feel physically. So much of what causes IBS can be made better with dietary changes. I’d rather that than to take additional medication. JFT Log everything Exercise even…

Good luck to you as well!

I’ve gained weight again and I’m upset, of course. I have IBS and started taking probiotics about a week ago. I started reading more about them this morning and found out that they can cause constipation, bloating, excess thirst and therefore water retention. I’m going to assume that is what has caused a sudden spike in my…

I had a good day... then I binged on cereal. Which will make me sick because milk kills my stomach. 🙁🙁🙁

@JustVickiLynn I love her workouts! I’ve started doing a mile at lunchtime. It’s a quick 10-15 minutes and I always feel better after.

I did a quick 10 minute workout at lunch even though I reeeeaaallly didn’t want to. I felt refreshed after and I’m glad I did it. I also stopped eating when I got full at dinner. I’d only eaten about half what I’d put on my plate.

@nwv13 Thank you for sharing that. It’s the inspiration I’ve been needing. I have begun something similar in regards to reducing what I eat. I tell myself that I can always have more if I really want it but I start with a smaller portion. Most of the time I don’t go back for more.

I’m feeling better today (so far). I’ve lost 1/2 lb and that makes me happy. JFT Log everything Eat only one serving at a time Exercise even if only for ten minutes
