It's Time For Your Flame Free Friday Confession!

Easter Candy... mom gave me a Bordeaux egg and I've been snacking here and there on my son's candy since he has way more than he could ever eat.

Trail Mix... got a free bag at the grocery store and went through that at work this week on my monthly PMS eat-all-day syndrome!

I had a huge salted caramel chocolate cupcake from crumbs bakery and earlier this week I had two mini cream eggs and a regular size cream egg. I have such guilt :(

I ate half a piece of pizza instead of my yogurt' date=' bad choice. Sad about it.[/quote']

You ladies are way to hard on yourselves!! I myself think That's called living not cheating. Now if you ate 3 pizzas of pizza, chips and washed it down with mt dew, feel bad. But I'm 99.7% sure a half piece of pizza won't make or break you. Just have the yogurt for Breakfast tomorrow :-D

Im glad.

This isn't like a diet we can quit. We have to figure out what works for each of us and learn how to live with it. As long as we are eating clean the majority of the time we can have a half slice of pizza on occasion.

I eat low carb 6 days a week (50-60) then on Sunday I don't calculate, count anything and just eat what I like as long as I still get Protein. Think that has helped me not stall and besides last week when I upped my strength training I have lost atleast 5 pounds a week for 3 months.

Listen to your body, and do what's right for you :-)

I started weight training and gained 2 pounds in a week and a half. Now mentally I know muscle is denser than fat and I never eat over 1000 calories EVER. I usually stay at 600- 800 but on Sundays I don't count and it could possibly go that high. Anyway. I have upped my Water obsessively to 120 oz counted my carbs religiously and upped my workouts to 2 hours a day. I can't stop thinking about those damn 2 pounds and I haven't been entering all my workouts on Myfitness Pal cause I know my friends will ask me whts going on. Those 2 pounds are haunting me at night. I had a dream I was in the hospital and my NUT kept force feeding me butter. I get it, gaining weight for over eating but gaining for working out?!?! Ahhhh too much.

Don't stress about it. While there's no way you'll gain 2 lbs of muscle in 2 weeks, I do find that heavy weights seem to bump up my weight by a pound or two, whereas, say, running makes me drop the same amount overnight. It must be water weight and I guess weightlifting does something to make your muscles retain more water - maybe to help them heal after injury or something. It's just a pattern I've become quite aware of recently as I added running to my regimen. On days I skip Crossfit and run instead, I'm always 1-2 lbs lighter the next day, and once I do Crossfit that same day, the morning after the 1-2 lbs are back.

I have been really bad with eating candy for the past week. I had blood work and my A1C went from 6.0 to 6.3. I am so mad at my self. No more candy. My son's girl friend gave me some of my favorite mini cadbury eggs. Now I am going to have to get rid of them. :(

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
