WhoooooHooooooooo!!! Congratulations on getting into a pair of your old shorts!!

And thanks for your kind words. You're absolutely right about retraining our brains on how to approach this whole issue. That's what I'm trying to do as well. Although I want to lose weight, I'm thinking about it as a healthier way to live and take care of myself.

Thanks, Sheila! I still have a ways to go, but I'm trying to do it in small steps . I just couldn't believe they fit when I tried them on, LOL!

Today, I got into a pair of shorts I hadn't worn in four years. I was one happy girl .



Congratulations! That is such a great feeling I am sure!

It is an endless battle and I think I just need to remember that I am never really going to have a normal relationship with food. I use it for all the wrong reasons - when I am happy, sad, angry, lonely, bored, or otherwise emoting - instead of to provide fuel and nutrition to my body - so in that way the struggle will always be endless. At least I am not mindlessly eating everything these days - usually I can just put it away without thinking about it but all of vacation I thought while I was eating junk that I was eating junk, it made me feel bad, and I didn't really enjoy it that much. Got to start restructuring the thoughts -

OK dear Creed Feed Club friends - It is Monday and time to contribute our accountibility information. I think it needs to be clarified that you will not be expected to share your weight, just the number of pounds and/or inches you are donating to the club. I will keep a running count, and when we hit milestones (like 25, 50 pounds, etc - I will have a celebration post (and any other suggestions you may have.)

I would like to suggest the following format:

1. weigh-in/measure up
2. successes
3. challenges
4. goals for upcoming week


I will start :

From the time we started until now I am +1 - yep that's right I gained a pound in the last couple weeks. I haven't done any measuring but I am guessing I lost no inches either.

My successes: prior to vacation, I was drinking my entire daily quota of water and made very healthy choices for several days in a row.

My challenges: Vacation!!! OH, and let's not forget PMS which coincided with the last day of vacation and the return home day.

My goals: To visit this thread everyday and reap the benefits of your support; to drink all my water daily; to keep a journal of everything I put in my mouth; to create some menus so I can plan ahead and not make bad choices due to poor planning; to exercise at least 3 days this week.

You're welcome for the support, Julbright. You're right, coming here helps me as well. It's a reminder for me that I'm not alone in all of this. I understand that without coming here but somehow all of this reinforces that fact and it helps me from getting discouraged. For example, I can totally relate to you when you said you eat for other reasons than to fuel your body because I've done the same thing for many years. That's what I'm trying to change right now. I'm trying to eat when I'm "physically" hungry and not for any other reason. Some days are easier than others and like everything else, it takes time.

As for the accountability info, I think that's a good idea. I didn't check my weight this morning because my scaling hasn't been working right but I'm going to the Y this afternoon and I'll weight myself there and get back to everyone on that info.

You had a double whammy! Between the vacation and PMS , that's enough to make anyone eat more than usual. I have confidence that you'll do great this week.

I'm sorry to hear that, Julie. Hopefully you can correct the information and get it processed soon.

I know, I had to wait awhile to go too, Julie. It's hard because I was anxious to get started, then I had to wait.

They won't let you like have a temporary kind of thing at the Y? I have no experience with the "Y" but I thought they would be a little more accomodating?

They wanted to have 2 pay stubs and a copy of income tax forms cuz we applied for the financial aide app and my brother couldn't find his so he tried to give them a copy of it that he found on the internet site They didn't take it though and his pay stubs weren't recent enough.
