Boo Thanksgiving got me and I'm up 2lbs. Not too happy about it. I went from 173 to 175. I'm having a hard time getting back on track. Motivation WHERE ARE YOU!!!

Weigh in day tomorrow. I'm nervous. I don't feel like I've lost anything. Will keep everyone updated.

Hey there,

Glad to report that I called into work sick on Friday (believe it or not, I actually was) and I feel worlds better. I do still think that I need to have a talk with my boss. I just need to grow some balls and stop avoiding confrontation. I'm also glad to say that after a week and half, I'm back down to where I was. 174.3lbs. Only 4 more to go and I'll finally have reached my short term goal. It's been months. I'm so anxious just to get into the 160's. Other then that, It's Canada's thanks giving this weekend and I have two dinners. I'm nervous for all the food. I have to try and remind myself that it's just food. There will be more tomorrow. I am very excited. A long weekend, good company, and great food.

Kathryn: I agree. I'm trying to hold off till after Christmas. How are things going on your end?

Cat: Glad to hear you're back on the bandwagon. What are your plans for working out this month?

Well Back to work day 1 of 5 :(

Welcome Back Catnipster

Kathryn: Thanks for the support hun.

Welll. It looks like it's going to be another lame day of work. I'm really struggling with it here and actually hate it at the moment. I need a vacation or something. I've been here three years and I've never taken more then a day off here and there. My boss is also seeming to be a bigger d*** then usual. This morning I don't even get my coat off and he's in my office pestering me. "Can you clean this up? Can you not do something about this?" refering to a drafting table full of his brochures and his design projects and his right hand man's junk. (Granted, there is a lot of my stuff on there too.) But the fact is that he doesn't even give me what I need to keep my office clean. All those projects and brochures need to be filed. I've been here for three years and I don't even have a file cabinet or a proper chair for that matter. I NEED FOLDER BOXES!!!!!!! Annnnnd I need him to get off my back for a few minutes so that I can clean it up. I read somewhere yesterday that you should not let people, who do so little for you, get into your head. Why am I letting this d*** irritate me?

UGH!!! Just two more days of this and then it's the weekend.  

Ugh need to vent

Sicker then a dog today. I can't even breath. I so badly want to go home sick but I have a meeting at 4:00 that I apparently have to be at. GAR. It's going to be a very long unproductive 10 hours. :(

Kathryn:

A typical day consists of something like the following;

7:30 Breakfast: Bowl of Cereal

10:00 Snack: Two rice cakes with peanut butter

12:00 Lunch: Sandwich, Yogurt and Fruit

3:00 Snack: 8 crackers and Cream Cheese

7:30 Supper: Plate of Pasta and a Salad, Hamburger and salad (Something as such)

(Please keep in mind I'm a vegetarian.)

The last couple of weeks however, I've been very unmotivated to eat well. I've been eating a lot of fries and craving a lot of candy and such. Pretty sure it's because of shark week and I've been feeling very overwhelmed with work and a lot going on in my personal life.

I'm trying for the next two weeks to eat better and lower the amount that I eat. I feel as though lately I've just been eating way too much. I've been eating poorly and  My goal for the next month is to increase the amount of times that I work out. for the month of October I'm hoping to work out at least 10X and of course to continue listening to my body.

How are things going with you?

Hey there,

It's really quiet in here these days, but, I'll still post anyway.

I'm still working to get hold of this binge eating disorder and my obsession with food. I would love to pass a day where I'm not worrying about what I'll eat next. Even at this very moment, I'm sitting here thinking how I've brought too much food for lunch. I should be eating less. 

Everyday is another day I guess and I have to take it one step at a time.

Right now I'm just working on being 25 days binge free and trying to meet my current high of 87 days.

Happy Tuesday.

Hey all,

Thanks for the positive input and the well wishes. Still trying really hard! I haven't weighed myself in 3 weeks and I'm curious and scared to see where I'm at. 38 days binge free. I can't believe it. I never thought I would ever come this far. WOO HOO.

I really want to comment on your posts but I'm feeling ever so lazy. One day soon. I promise.

Thanks Everyone,

I'm trying to abandon the "scale is my friend" mindset. It's so hard when I've weighed myself everyday (a lot of the times more) for the past 3 years.

I'm actually really enjoying the way I'm eating right now. Meals are to contain 3 food groups and snacks are to contain 2. I want to incorporate more veggies into this but I just can't get motivated to eat them more. (So many other tasty options to have.) I also can't get motivated to work out. Gar. Life is tough hahah.

Roman: Great job on pushing yourself with the weights.

Dlaree: hope your hip starts feeling better. Have you been stretching it out?

Roman, Kathryn, Misspiggy; Thanks so much again for your support.

This forum is awesome.
