CRAAAAAAAAAAP...  It is TTOM though....  If I could just break into the 130 range.  I don't know why I just can't get there....

Original Post by laurakelly_xo:

Tawnie - if not for you I doubt I would have admitted this...for some reason when I got home at 10:30 last night, I went straight for the cracker cupboard, and ate about 20 ritz crackers, a few swiss cheese crackers, and even got myself a little bowl of cool ranch doritos.

Self sabotage much? I have no idea why it happened, but I just found myself WANTING to eat (not because I was hungry...more like for entertainment). I didn't get "stuffed" though, so I never felt that sense of the binge where you're uncomfortably full...but it was definitely still overboard for no reason.

I was definitely a little nervous hopping on the scale this morning, that's for sure. You'll get it all back and more, by next Friday's weigh in. The last thing I'd want would be for this to deter you from continuing to not weigh in everyday!

I wasn't hungry either.  I was actually REALLY tired.. but just kept walking back in there..  sometimes I wish I DIDN'T live alone so that there would be someone to say "hey what's going on" but my cat doesn't really care much.  lol  

I'm just shocked at myself.  I feel numb right now.

I will definitely not be weighing in every day.  I want to transition into doing it Fridays for the rest of this journey.. prob when maintaining too.  I think seeing my trend with only 4-5 weighins every month will be very helpful with not seeing the daily fluctuations messing it up.  And will help to track TOM very nicely too.

There is a full moon on Sunday too.  I'm wondering if that's part of it.  i went to town on some Carmel Corn that I bought from the girl at work's kid....  grrrrrr....  every handful I was screaming at myself to put down the damn bag.

I will so take that pound!  I worked hard this week!  My new challenge is finding new healthy foods that I enjoy, I'm currently loving black bean burgers and roasted chick peas.  This coming week I'm planning on trying lime and cumin bean salad and sweet potato bites.

Goal for Challenge: 169.0 lbs (13.4 lbs)

9 weeks of weighing in x 1.48 lbs a week avg = 13.4 lbs to lose

**note**

so ... this weigh in is depressing... but with having my bridal shower, stagetter last weekend, and then a crazy hellish busy week followed by subway dinner last night before weighing in (and total lack of water in about a week) its to be expected. Im not impressed, but not surprised....

Ive joined the weigh in detox idea... and think this may help me become less 'deflated' about my weight loss without seeing all the fluctuations... once i feel deflated i lose motivation thinking "whats the point!?" .. so hopefully this works for me...

also i have to stick to drinking my water and counting cals EVERYDAY... even on busy days... intuitive eating (or memory calorie counting) never works for me... at least not yet... one day hopefully...

Good luck to everyone, chat next week!

Blah. I don't want to talk about it. Actually I'm not even sure WHY this is happening. Been pretty good all in all. So it's a fluctuation, not going to worry about it...

Whew! Still a teensy bit of a loss! I was kind of surprised by that. I was dreading weigh in this week!

Speaking of dreading weighing. Do we really have to weigh the day after Thanksgiving? I am contemplating weighing on Thursday morning...might help with incentive to eat carefully over the big meal itself. Anyone else have thoughts?

Terrified.  I don't even want to think about it.  I know i SAY I'm going to not over eat... but I will.

Pretty pumped about today's weigh-in. It's partially because I'm sick, but I have been sticking to healthy eating since my return from vacation. As far as turkey day, I'm actually really excited. I'm running the drumstick dash (local 4.5 mile run that benefits a soup kitchen) and spending the day with family. And of course, good eats! Not counting, but not planning to stuff myself senseless.

This is such a dissapointment for me! UGH. How frustrating. But I only have myself to blame. My roommate bought ice cream with all the fixings, and chips and cookies throughout the week and was constantly offering me some so I stupidly gave in. Oh well, I'll have to work harder for next week! To everyone else, keep up the good work!!
