Since my weigh in on Monday, I have had thoughts about how slow this is going. I thought about an even that I have coming up in August, and that if I crash dieted, I could lose some seriuos weight by then. Honestly, I am not even fooling myself any more. I have had lots of important events come and go, and I was fat for all of them. If I crash diet, it will be the same.
I also have a Wii Fit that takes my weight each day. So I was up a bit today and was discouraged even though I know weight fluctuates daily. It was enough that made me want to go snort down a whole 2'liter of coke, but alas, I didn't. I am sure by next Monday, I will be down another pound because I am eating half of what I was eating two weeks ago.
Calories/Exercise
June 7 1788/15
June 8 2279/5
June 9 2069/60
I am still not making my 1900 calorie goal each day. It is mostly off by just one something sweet. Either a glass of coke or a candy bar. So I need to pick something and do away with it each day or buy the really small york peppermint patties instead of eating a big one.

Watching the scale and getting frustrated if the number goes up...is a big problem for me. Whenever this happens, I am always at risk with the thought "I might as well eat"....
So...I'm not going to weigh daily. I'm hoping weighing every 2 weeks will show me some loss consistency.
Like you said, the weight fluctuation is normal. It could be water, hormones, or muscle gain. Who knows!
I do believe if we keep going, we absolutely will lose weight. I sure wasn't losing with what I was doing before.
"Special Events" have always been another challenge for me. I often stress so much about an upcoming trip or meeting....instead of losing, I end up gaining. Stupid!!!!
I have a couple of things coming up in July, and I'm not going to try to starvation diet. The idea of starvation dieting alone is enough to make me eat more.
I don't know how many "farewell to food" days of overeating I've had before beginning a starvation diet (and never got around to doing)! Have you ever done that?
Have a great day tomorrow....Truth
