HOLIDAY CHALLENGE TIME!! LET'S DO THIS!

[emily712 19]

Current Weight: 219
Goal Weight: 220
Today's Date: 1/3/18

I hit goal today!! I'm down 36 lbs since surgery 10/20. I struggle to not compare myself to everyone else, as I feel like I should be losing faster. But, I'm averaging a 3-4 lb loss/week. I won't complain about that! Slow and steady, I have to keep reminding myself that!!!

Hooray, I did it. I thought my goal might be unrealistic but glad I made it. I too struggle with wanting to add foods to my diet that I should not but the more I lose the easier it is to leave the bad foods alone.

Today is January 3rd

CW: 192.2

GW: 190 (for this challenge)

Long term goal: 130

I’m almost at my goal for this challenge but I am so disappointed in myself because it could be more, and considering I’m only two months out, for me, I believe it should be more... I started this challenge not exactly knowing what weight to have as a goal and I’m realizing that thru Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years- all excuses of course- I realize I truly have no willpower and that I’m overeating and more depressed than I care to face. I believe I should be losing steadily (barring potential stalls) but I keep eating, sometimes worse than before surgery (I’m eating chips and soda, something I rarely did). I don’t want to deal with my skeletons but I know I have to so today I start seeing an eating disorder psychologist to figure out why I continue to hurt myself (I am literally stuffing my pouch to painful results) If anyone ever tells you that WLS is the easy way out tell them to f**k off and die!

This is me being accountable, hopefully I won’t continue to isolate and will come forward with good and hopeful progress!

I applaud your honesty, and also for your seeing the counselor. The great news is that you are aware of your bad habits, and being aware is a really big step forward. In time I really believe you will work through those demons. I am over a year out and I have not kicked all of mine, but I am so much better. Be proud of the steps you have taken thus far. You will get there, and with the help of a counselor, you can kick most of your food demons out of your life! Its not easy, my hat is off to you.

Good morning all and happy Weigh In Wednesday! I am so happy to see some goals reached and many of us marching right up to almost goal.

My apologies for updating last weeks so late. So much holiday stress. This holiday season was brutal for me. Trying to balance and maintain was a true challenge. I gained this past week. I resolve to get back on track, and get more fit. More cardio!

One more week, we can do this!!!

No judgment from me. Stalls and gains are absolutely frustrating. Its hard when you see other people losing weight. Step back from the challenge. Come back if you still want support.

Wish you the best,

No judgement from me. I was in a 3 week stall most of Nov/Dec. I was very upset and frustrated so I totally get it. continue doing the right things and it will get better. Wishing you only the best. Take good care of you.
