This was day 51

What is it about this number 215???? Now i am 2.5lbs away from it and i am STILL scared to death. The program is not seeming as easy right now even though i am still plugging along. I must admit i had a cracker (about the size of a half a saltine (not that it makes it any better, a cheat is a cheat). I didn't beat myself up about it, i don't think it did any physical harm (still in ketosis) but it was weighing on me mentally for a minute. I keep asking myself "ok so does this mean that i am going to start cheating again at around 215?" What is going thru my mind is i can't let myself down, nor can i let my friends down here. I have to stay in the race. I know i can do this, i just want to see 214 to get past my taboo MF weight. I know that the choice of eating a cracker is not going to get me to my goal. What am i STUPID??? Well, no, i am not stupid, i just made a stupid decision and moved on. I need to get back to basics, i know what got me from 240.6 to 217.5 and it did not involve eating crackers or anything else that is not approved in the Quick Start Guide. Back to basics, back to basics, back to basics...I am here to admit my shortcoming, not to whine. Oh well, tomorrow will once again be a FULLY compliant day. It's best for me to go to bed now because my left shoulder hurts because someone's self proclaimed fat a$$ was on it all day and i have an ear ache on the right side because something large and green came flying outta no where and "BOP!!!"...busted me in the side of my head. Thanks guys, for catching me at one cracker...Good night.

Nope, i just "met" her when i returned to the forum in October. I think if she knew me before all of this, she probably would have thrown me "out with the old" by now... She seems like the type that woulda just sat me out on the front porch in the cold with a shake and a bag of hawaiian rolls hoping that some poor unsuspecting passerby would stop and pick up the scale whore!

[Out*With*The*Old]

All kidding aside - PLEASE don't give up and don't give in! I'll give you two pounds to get you to 215 - happily, if I could. Honestly, if I was there I would do something to your scale to make it go below 215 - - don't know how but I would try!!

Remember it is JUST A NUMBER - it's mental!! Get back to basics - GOOD CALL! You can do this - we can do this.

Have you thought about putting the scale away for a while and focusing on being on plan? I've been seriously considering this myself given the state of my cold/PMS.

I hope you sleep well and wake up with renewed MF thoughts and your typical take no prisoners attitude!

We CAN do this!

HEYYYYYYY - that wasn't very nice! If I wasn't crying so hard I would say:

Nope, we just met but I think we are MF soul mates! We seem to share a like minded attitude, warped humor and competitive nature that makes us want to race each other to the finish line!

Yup, just what she said!!

I say women because i just know it couldn't be my sweet little science guy..although, he DID give thorough directions as to how to resize the pic...hmmmm.

Well, you did mention EVIL, and since that in no way shape or form describes me...then I guess it was obvious to not include me.

By the way, looking back at my previous posting regarding the EVIL... in my original statement, I never did mention that you were EVIL.

Although, posting the pic of such yummy Hawaiian bread was just wrong. icon_mad.gif

..... although now... I'm not sure who the more EVIL one is... the one who posted the pic the first time, or the one who plastered it all over the screen.

Being nice to me now, huh? Afraid I'll post more food pics, aren't ya?!?

Gave in today but DEFINITELY not giving up. I hadn't really thought of giving up the scale but i do need to change my focus from THAT number. So as of right now, i am deciding not to step on the scale until Sunday for roll call. I am controlling this, it WILL NOT control me! I have to say it louder, because the thought OBVIOUSLY didn't reach somewhere in my subconscious. BRING IT!!! BUT BEWARE CUZ I AM TAKING NO PRISONERS. Its not about a number on the scale readout, it's about the mental and physical progress i have made so far damn it! I WILL focus on remaining compliant, ignoring everything else around me.

[Out*With*The*Old]

There ya go!!!!!!!! Sunday it is! I'll try to join you (I'm a scale addict, ya know)!

I'm going to bed! You can do it! 100% compliance one hour at a time! You will beat that number and never ever ever see it again!

[bikipatra]

You can do it!!!!

[rodeomom]

To that nasty number 215! I wish I was doing battle with that number. I guess the best thing to do at this point is ignore it and maybe by the time you jump back on that scale you will be below it never to see it again!

Blessings!

[Out*With*The*Old]

Hey OC! I'm just stopping by to see how you're doing today?!?

Hope you're doing well!!!

DAY 52

Feelin much better today guys. Thanks!!! As i stated last night (at the suggestion of kym) i stayed away from the scale this morning. And i didn't feel like i was depriving myself (like i felt before when i skipped a "weigh day"). It actually felt kinda good to start to let go of my "whorish" ways! I think it was more of a feeling of control, knowing that i can do what i WANT (really WANT) to do. With this thought in mind, it made my day of compliance that much easier. But i also realize that my cheat (no matter how small) was not about giving into a craving. It also was not about anything emotional. Actually, i have no idea what it was about, which makes it even worse. I would almost feel better if i was able to link it to something outside of fear. I try to figure out what EXACTLY is the fear that i am trying to face. It can't possibly be a simple digital number. It has to be something WAY BIGGER than that. As much as i would like to say it is the fear of failure...i dont really know. One thing for sure, in one of those chapters in my book of life, i determined a long time ago that fear is simply a state of mind. If i truly BELIEVE what i believe, i am able to adjust it. Which is what i did today. So today was a fully compliant day, easy, i might add! All of this was accomplished even though i woke up feeling kinda "emotionally yucky" and had a TERRIBLE day at work , all of this makes me smile that i was able to control something...and i did. I will still stick with the "no weight til Sunday" thing, once again to reinforce to myself that i can do what i WANT to do.
