Keep your chin up ~ Losing weight is hard!!! Do your best and keep trying. Persistence is the hallmark of a true winner.

Well, last night was awful. I had a migraine, and had Panera for dinner.

I got on the scale this morning and it said 157.1. I almost cried. I was 152 on Monday. I have had the worst week ever. I hope it is mostly water weight. I am so depressed.

I am back on plan today. I am not going to cheat, weigh myself or even discuss anything on this forum until I leave for Myrtle Beach on September 9th. I hope I can stick to plan and maybe even lose one or two of the stupid pounds I gained this week.

Sayanora for now.

I agree with you regarding the scale. Just say no, for now anyway. The daily fluctuations can make you crazy.

Thank you!!!

Well, now that I am being complaint- I feel guilty about going to Myrtle Beach next week. I know I will want funnel cake and wine and yummy food.... what to do? I do NOT want to gain 8 pounds and get off track for a month like I did on my cruise in July. Maybe I will set boundaries?

Like-

a normal breakfast (toast, bagels, cereal)
Medi-shakes for snacktime and lunch
A normal dinner with minimal carbs?

Can I do that? UGH!

Why not have something like an omelette for breakfast, and a L&G type dinner that way if you do indulge in some type of carb you won't go from high to higher but from low to high on the carb count?

GucciGoo · by **GucciGoo** » September 5th, 2006, 8:17 am

That is a really good suggestion. I will stick to meats, cheese, fish, eggs- kind of like Atkins- then if I do indulge it won't be so bad.

Thanks!

Well, I think I am taking a tiny little break from this site and from MF. I am leaving for Myrtle Beach on Saturday, and Aunt Flo is visiting, so I am less than motivated to be on plan right now. I don't plan on over-indulging, but I don't want to freak out every time I eat something.

So that being said, I will be back on September 16th for a new start and a new outlook.

Have a good trip!

I am such a pain in the ass. I am so damned determined to get to 149 for Saturday that I am slurping away on shakes and water all day. And I am going to bring my shakes to the beach. I plan on doing 5 shakes + a normal, decent dinner. (Protein plus rice or potatoes). I came this far, I can't throw it away!

I think my period took over my mind yesterday.

*sigh*

GucciGoo · by **GucciGoo** » September 8th, 2006, 5:12 am

Ok, so yesterday I stayed on plan. I don't know why I am bothering, knowing I am heading towards a 1-week long drink and food-fest in Myrtle Beach.

But I stray from my purpose...

I find that when I am on plan, the planets align, and all is peaceful in the world. I feel confident, even feel an air of superiority over others who are struggling to lose a few pounds on plans like Weight Watchers. And when I cheat, I am miserable. I can feel the weight on me, and everything gets gloomy and miserable. The traffic is heavier and it rains more. Ok, so not really, but that is what it feels like.

So I look forward to enjoying my week, but I know I will cheat. And I dread the way I will feel when I return home and weigh myself.

There's no way to win.

Have a good week!

I found it very easy to stay on plan at the beach. In fact, it was easier than cheating because I didn't need to bother preparing anything. We had lunch meat, egg salad, etc. for lunches and everyone just helped themselves. I had my shakes/oatmeal/bars and was very content. For dinner each night I had my L&G......great seafood and a steak one night.

I didn't feel deprived at all!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you should do what I did, but if eating off plan really makes you feel yucky, the alternative, staying on plan, is not that hard.

Have fun!

Well....... I am back from Myrtle Beach. I cheated all week. I had sundaes with peanut butter and fudge, fried foods, pasta, sausage, pizza, seafood, chips, cookies, pancakes, bacon...and drank soda and wine all week.. It was great.

And I somehow lost 1/10 of a pound! IMPOSSIBLE! But I will take it!

I weighed myself last night before dinner. When I saw the weight I decided to skip the mac and cheese I made for dinner and just went to bed instead.

So I am back on plan again, heading towards my Halloween goal of 135!
