DeLarla 22 Posted September 19, 2005 The numbers on the scale were getting ugly so I haven't hopped on lately. I've been adding more veggies and less goodies and getting back to using dinner plates instead of feeding troughs. I feel pretty good today and my pants are really comfy. Anyone else avoiding the scale? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
La_madam 20 Posted September 19, 2005 I have been, I weighed for the first time in over a month on Monday when I got home from Vegas. I have started to day with a total dedication to having a good week, so far so good this morning 2 poached eggs with 1 slice of whole wheat toast , Dry no butter. I started taking my Vitamins and Calcium supplements again last week and started to have a Protein shake in the mid afternoon when my cravings kick in. It is the evenings that kill me, seems of late I have been giving into temptation and then feel guilty as hell afterwards. I always have such good intentions but it seems by the end of the day they have all gone by the way side. I'm really going to give it one hell of a shot this week and see if I can do it, no junk, no sweets, no chocolate, no ice cream after dinner. I CAN DO THIS, I CAN DO THIS, I CAN DO THIS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeLarla 22 Posted September 19, 2005 I could just gag over nights! Nights kill me. I'm sure drug companies are studying the effects of nighttime and eating. I just wish they'd make the drug already! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vinesqueen 2 Posted September 19, 2005 I never weigh myself. The trama is too great. I'm doing everything that says I should be losing weight, but I'm not. I'm making myself crazy and miserable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted September 19, 2005 I dont look at it. I find I gain more weight if I weight myself all the time than if I dont. If I dont I use my appetite as a guide to how much to eat - not that that's particularly reliable, lol. But - if I see I've lost a tad I think "great, I can relax". If I see I've stayed the same or gained a little I think "what's the point, this doesnt work anyway". Either way the outcome is comfort eating. But I know once I'm banded I'll be on the dratted thing five times a day for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hagerteresa 3 Posted September 21, 2005 Lisa, I'm in the same boat. I got out of my excercise routine when I got that nasty dog bite and haven't been able to motivate myself since. Even my family doctor nagged me about getting my weight loss going again. I haven't gained but have definitely stayed the same. Everyone even keeps telling me I look like I've lost but I have to admit that I haven't. I try to explain it away as toning up. LOL. I need to get back on the program. I still pb too often and have a tough time eating before noon but I have been a chocolate hog all summer. I've been avoiding the computer too (I've been working too hard and always feel too tired and behind to even turn the thing on). Glad to see your still here and I promise to get on here longer soon. Love and hugs, Teresa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
