Don't compliment me

[ndquilter 41]

I am almost a year out and have lost 109 pounds. I have about 25 more to go. I'M STUCK!!! I have losing and gaining the same 3 pounds since December. People keep telling me that I look good and are proud of me. I think it's making me lazy and not a careful as I should be. I think I need someone to tell me that I look horrible and that it looks like I never lost any weight. Maybe that will get my butt in gear. lol I want the rest of this albatross gone!!!

Signed....

the idiot who bought PopTarts yesterday

You look horrible. If you'd lose 25 lbs you'd be better.

Did that help?

Seriously, I totally understand. I am 109 down from my all time high and have about 25 more to go too and experience the same thoughts. It is normal.

Throw the pop tarts away. And don't do a Costanza (Seinfeld reference) and dig them outta the trash!

Signed,

Someone who understands the power of a pop tart. ((((Hugs))))

if it helps you look horrible....sorry I really don't mean it lol

[kimk1999 450]

Oh my gosh!! You're so fat, you're 20 lbs above your goal weight! I can't believe you bought pop tarts yesterday. I'm so disappointed in you. Kick it into high gear to get to your goal!!

(Does that help?). Hugs

[ndquilter 41]

You guys crack me up. I'm am picturing how difficult it was for you to say that. lol

[kimk1999 450]

Oh and tonight we gave the last of our pop tarts to my brother in law so I know how tempting it's ooey gooey goodness really is

[ladylei0 20]

Ndquilter,

You look awful!!! Haha

Omg this is exactly how I feel! Some told me the other day, " you know you're disappearing? " I say, not fast enough.

I finally got pissed off about it and have been going at it in the gym, biggest loser style lol and really watching my diet. Dropped about 5 lbs in two weeks.

I'm not impressed.

I know we should not be so hard on ourselves perhaps. ..but the thing is, I'm all or nothing. If I offer myself Any leeway whatsoever, I may fall off. And I did not have a life changing surgery for mediocre results. I want to be lean, strong and invincible.

Is that too much to ask? !

Keep it up woman, I'm watching you.

Step 1: Put down the poptarts.

Step 2: Pick up a Protein Shake.< /p>

Step 3: Head to the gym.

Step 4: WORK THEM chicken LEGS, CHUBBY! IT'S GO TIME!

That's funny

I have rarely found berating myself or "kicking myself in the ass" helped me. You have lost a LOT of weight. You are so much healthier now than before-- good for you! I know you have more you want to lose--my suggestion is you treat yourelf with gentleness and compassion as you work toward that goal.

Poptarts are straight from hell (but man, do they taste good!)! As you choose things to eat, consider what is kind to your body (instead of saying this is a "bad" food). Commit to being good to yourself in all ways-- food choices included.

I hope that helps and best of luck to you on your journey.

Stop your self-indulgent whining, throw out all the crap you've purchased, take some ownership for your actions and commit to shifting those last few pounds.

There will be no pity-party here when you're a fully grown adult in charge of your own destiny...

How was that?

Get on it and best of luck

Get your butt in gear!!! Lose the weight. You can do it.

Are you maintaining a food log? In my experience, nothing establishes accountability like a food log. And logs make you accountable to the single most important person in the equation - you. As ridiculous as it sounds, I have passed on eating "X" simply because I didn't want to log it. Now add the fact that your log is an ongoing daily reminder of what you are accomplishing and why. You don't think you're doing well, you know you are doing well and the scales will respond - an amazing confidence builder. An extremely powerful tool in helping you accomplish the all-important Prime Directive - lifestyle changes!

Thank you for all of your "kind" words. Lol

I admit I was mentally tracking my food, but am going back to keeping a log. So far today....,130 calories from a Chike coffee Protein Drink. Not a fan of the other Protein Shakes, but LOVE the coffee one...20 grams of protein!!

[ndquilter 41]

I tracked today....83 grams of Protein, 40 oz Water and 933 calories...no poptarts
