I am so ashamed of myself
| Mon, 05-10-2004 - 5:23pm |
I did horrible this w/e! Absolutely horrid. I feel like I have probably gained 50#s. My deadline is coming and I am losing faith here. I really want this so bad, but I get around my mom and I always eat eat eat. What is up with that?

Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm learning that if you're hard on yourself, you tend to give up. At least I do. So, take this weekend, throw it away, and grab that wagon today or tomorrow. I too wasn't that great, but I figure, I have today to start again and be good.
Also, I noticed with certain ppl I have no restraints either. Will power just is NOT there. But I'm trying.
You're doing great. And well, even if it's one step back, take two forward and you'll be fine. =)

Is there something that makes you "want" to eat around your mother (emotionally), or is there just a lot of food around that you wouldn't normally eat?
Don't be so hard on yourself, so you indulged a little, let it go, hop back on the eating right wagon and working out. Beating yourself up over it is a surefire way to get you to quit and give up completely on yourself. Pat yourself on the back that it was just the weekend and not the entire week.
Michelle- look at it this way~ The weekend's over- you enjoyed it, you had fun, and perhaps overindulged a little. It happened at a good time, the end of one week, and now it's the beginning of a new one!! In the journal folder if you look at Steph & Miranda's posts you'll see that they have their own mini goals this week. Maybe do something like that for yourself to help have a great week and stay focussed!
Sorry to hear that you feel that it's being around Mom makes you eat, eat, eat....they do have a way with food, don't they? LOL
Head up...Stretch those arms...Kick those legs...Toss that extra portion...and SMILE :-)

But remember, when you do have those days that you indulge, and you FEEL like you've gained 50lbs. That's because your tummy gets all this food it's not used to, throws the body outta whack for a couple days and RETAINS WATER!! THere's NO WAY you "GAINED" 50lbs (I know that's an exageration on your part) but even if it's 2 or 3, it's WATER. Drink up! Avoid the salt for a couple days and make MANY trips to the bathroom. Your fingers and ankles will lose the puffyness, you tummy won't feel so bloated and you'll drop that couple extra pounds you picked up. No bigge... in fact, I think I see that wagon right there...*whistle* TAXI...
