Hello Journal O' Mine which I have ignored for 2 weeks...
I am so not where I was nor where I want to be. Why? What did I do? Why did the switch of clarity turn off on me??? I was doing so well...on top of the world...nothing could stop me and now I've been stopped...I'm the old me instead of the new me. I'm still here but I'm not...I'm not giving up but I am frustrated.
Sometimes I need to do something drastic to get back on track...like a week or two of Southbeach induction...and then back to normal calorie counting. The real problem is that I'm not feeling that motivated to do that. So I could just do calorie counting without the SB...but I haven't been doing so well at that lately. I know what I should be doing...entering the food regardless of what it is but it's so depressing to do that just like some people say it's depressing to record weight gain so they wait until they lose weight to record it.
<sigh> I know what my problems are and I guess I know how to fix them...but why I can't fix them even though I know how to is beyond me and rather annoying.
I won't regain the weight I've lost...I can't go back up in clothing size...I've been giving them away as I lose weight.
I have to get back on track.
I have to get back on track.
I have to get back on track.
If I say that enough times, maybe it will work? ;)

It has always amazed me how seemingly intellengent people(like me) cannot do something so simple as manage their weight. Other seemingly intellegent people seem to have no trouble at all with this task. So why is it that we sabatoge ourselves? Everything is going pretty well and then something stops us in our tracks. We get frustrated, beat ourselves up, and think we're not worth the one thing we desire most...to be at a healthy weight. Well we are worth it and we do deserve it and we will all get there. There will be many stumbling blocks along the way, but we will all get there. I think the trick may be to believe in yourself and your ability to make the right decisions and most importantly to believe that you do deserve to be healthy.

Oh honey, we all go through that! We all lose motivation from time to time and want to say "F" it. BUT, YOU ARE STILL WITH US and that means that YOU STILL CARE and that you have not given up. Enter all of your food; even if it hurts. No one is going to slap your hand (as one of my other good buddies mentioned - AZ)! When you force yourself to enter it you realize and take accountability more. Unlike when you just ignore it. It's not like it will go away...you know it is not going to take care of itself and the pounds are not going to drop because you want them to. It's work and it totally sucks sometimes (just like a job) but then it can be the most rewarding gift (like the best vacation). Cut yourself some slack and let go of the guilt but recommit yourself this very moment to your goal. I believe in you and I know that you can do this!

It is hard to record it, but once you do it kind of seems silly that you didn't want to in the first place. I don't know what I expected (the earth to open up and swollow me? My FS friends to boo me. NEVER.) I realized that I was being dramatic and it helped me to see what I was eating and what I needed to change. Im still working on it, but it does help!

Get back on the horse, I command it! Lol. The longer you stay off the harder it is to get back on. Make a list of the good things about losing weight- how you feel, how your clothes fit, complents, health etc. Now make a list of good things about overeating. Which list is longer? Now one more thing: there's no such thing as "can't" only "won't". No magical force is stopping you so just do it!

I believe you know you can do this, you just need a good "pep" talk all of which are above! You will do this cuz you want it, plus you've started giving clothes AWAY, that is a big one, that it self shows you know that you do not intend on going back to the "old" you!. SO Missy, get your tushy in gear and don't make a little thing like tracking some food be the big thing that crushes you.. you've got this! Find away to make it work. I am super frustrated myself right now, but I have come to far to let some numbers sink me!!! Mix it up and make it happen!! GO GO GO!! lol all out of understanding...hugs!

There's nothing like GREAT weight-loss buddies to help you kick your butt in gear...you each said something very meaningful to me in different ways. Thank you for your support and encouragement. You're all right and I WILL get back on track. I should print all of your "pep talks" and stick them around the house. :) Thank you!!!!!
