you know, I think the number one thing you can do to not give up on losing weight is to learn to not get upset when the scale doesn't move or moves upward. I have finally gotten to that place after so many years. I can hop on the scale and the number just doesn't hold as much weight as it use to, even when I go down I know I will prob inch back up a little bit before I go down again.
messuring your success in other places and focusing on that is the best way to be successful. Knowing that your doing a good job because your wearing pants that are 5 sizes smaller than when you started or because you can do more physically.
Its nice not being on a diet, Its nice to have changed my lifestyle and feel better about myself. So much less stress when your not on a diet, you dont constantly feel like your going to fail.

I did ok this week, not bad, not great, just ok. Im feeling like Im going to have a good loss this comming up week though. I gained but I really cant complain because I fit into a size 18 jeans this week and nothing can bring me down from that. :-)
I feel like I had a really good day. I kinda struggled with the water a bit but Im drinking right now and the day is not over yet. I saw that FADEDONE fit into her size 18 jeans today so I desided to go and try mine on. I bought a pair at the thrift store three weeks ago, the buttoned and zipped but where very tight, I figured I would be in them by december at least. I tryed them on today and they fit great. I feel so good. :-) I have not been in size 18 jeans since I was in 11th grade, thats over 10 years ago. reaching this milestone really makes me want to keep the momentum going and reach my goal by new years. I hope I lose again this week... Im feeling thinner :-)

I feel like I'm doing better than I was but not as well as I could be doing. Im really trying, I geuss it takes a little while to get back on track. Yesterday I had a bout of emotional eating which is odd for me because Im not really an emotional eater. I got really depressed though yesterday because we are having major money issues right now and I went out and ate a plain mcdonalds sundae and a serving of pringles. I only went 3 points over for the day and could have done much worse with the choices I made, so Im not too broken up over it.
well I tracked my points this weekend and my flex points are all but gone already. ::hangs head:: ..... the point is I did track, which is a step in the right direction. Yesterday I did ok on eating... I had a heavy lunch because I had left overs from halloween. That really put me over my points for the day.
I exercised for 40 minutes yesterday. My goal is to get 40 minutes every day this week except saturday. I would like to get into a routine of doing that. 40 minutes is not difficult for me to accomplish I just dont feel like doing it most of the time. I would like to have something more interesting to do rather than ellipitical but its the most conveinent thing for me to do at the momment because I dont really have the means to drive anywhere to do anything and the area I live in is not really great for outside walking.
My goals for the week are to track all of my food, exercise 40 min each day, get all my water, fruits and veggies, ect... in and plan out what Im going to eat each day so I dont end up going over my points.
