Now I'm not sure if we're going back to every week update officially now that the summer of excess is over, but I'm going to try to keep posting HASAY on Monday.
(Waving to Casey and other HASAY-ers!!!) I need more accountability. I can't seem to get this done when no one else is doing the ah ah ah finger.
This guy always pops in my head when I think of keeping a journal and keeping myself accountable. This past weeks news? well O-M-G I was very very shocked to stand on the altar of Truth and see another 4lbs. I sat in the meeting while listening and going over in my head all the things I did or didn't do that weekend and then the bacon and gumdrops and hot wings came back to haunt my thoughts. I just can't do those things anymore. I wasn't a small person to start but when you keep adding those kinds of foods to the pile on top of your salads and other bites licks and tastes. (BLT), well the truth comes back to me! I am now almost starting over. I'm now almost 30lbs over goal. (deep breath) so There you have it the Truth, and it wasn't someone else adding to the pile! it was me!
This week since Thursday morning I've kept a journal every bite, and every walk too. I'm not planning to eat my activity points earned. I've got to get back on target! BTW it's a good thing that Thinsations only come in a box of 12pts, and it's taking a lot of will power today and tomorrow not to take MJ to the store for a "treat". That store sells Fudge, chips, and high fat crackers and candy!!

way to get back on target! I swear by journling. it's the only thing that works for me, because it's much easier to write down that i've eaten one brownie than three ;)
Good for you, you go girl! I know you can do it. I must join you in this, I must stop buying the crap that sits in my cabinet. I actually buy stuff for company and always buy too much. I can't throw it away so I eat it. I have at least 60 pounds to lose! I am going to do this, just watch me.
Oh I said that last year too!
good luck!!!! I think it's just gotta be worse to diet with kids.
Thanks for the great replies today!!! I'm sure you can do it.
@Brandy I find that I use the kids as an excuse but I should be chasing them more and feeding less of the not so good for them food. They were not happy to see veggies on the pizza lastnight but oh well, if they pick them off the juice still gets in there. LOL
@Just Breathe, go for it! you can do it, I keep trying to remind myself that if I throw it out I wont have to pay to get it off again. Hard to remember when it's a cake. :)
Weight's been an issue my whole life. I was put on my first diet when I was 8 to lose 3 pounds which began a series of crazy dieting that lasted for years. It's a constant struggle to be at a healthy weight (mmm, can't recall the last time....I'm obese now so this isn't working either...). It's a struggle for self acceptance which for me is so entangled with the issue I can't seem to cut free from any of it. Someday I'll get it sorted.
Anyway, conscious eating and journalling seems effective. You and another friend have started on this at the same time so thinking perhaps maybe I might join you. Ah, gotta love commitment!
I think you should eat the activity points - otherwise you'll might end up feeling deprived and explode in a shower of goldfish crackers.
Uh, not that that's what I do.
Good for you for getting back at it!
So you've added the Journal of Truth to the Altar of Truth to keep you honest? Sounds like a darned good plan.
I can't promise I'll do a weekly post, but maybe every other instead of monthly. You're right - it helps to have accountability more often.
Good luck! I know it's hard and I wish you all the success in the world!
I don't know how people keep up with dieting, I suck at it. Sorry you had a setback but you're kicking butt now! I haven't really changed my eating habits too much since I'd rather exercise like a mofo than diet but food is my favoritest thing ever.
Food is my downfall. I love to eat. It's hard to restrain myself, particularly during certain times of the month where I can go through an entire package of cookies without having any memory of it aside from the crumbs littering the front of my shirt...Good luck this month.
