well it has been a while since i have been on the board. I am afraid to hop on the scale as i haven't been really bad but just bad enough to feel that i may have gained more than i care to think about or admit to.
Since I have been working in the morning shift for one of our transit trains, i am coming home when people are going to work. I am not eating my breakfast when i get up at 3:00 am but instead of waiting to get home. Mom asks me to pick up McDonalds for her and of coures what ever i want.
I adore their breakfast burritos so i pick them up. but having them 5 days in a row makes me feel horrible and bad. now mind you during the day, i do continue with my diet, of salad, chicken etc but i truly feel like i have gained about 20 lbs back and believe me i would absoluetly cry if that is the case.
People are noticing the weight loss on me. they are stopping me and saying how fab i look, even though i still have a long way to go.
I have been busy going to venues with my friends for their wedding. I am doing their wedding but not working it the day of. I have also been going on interviews, and a second interview with another firm. so i feel that everything has gotten to me and i just feel hungry all the time. I admit to having a few more slices of bread, ancient grain at night to help me get to sleep.
now this week the stress is going to be on and the food less in my stomach. i work double shift so in the morning then having to go back in the evening rush hour. so the time i leave is 3 pm to get to work in the evening so my dinner is going to be out the window. so i will have brekkie and lunch and that is it because i won't get home until after 9 pm from there.
but it is worth it in the long run. money is always a good thing to keep your spirits high. we are also going for walks every day in the park ok, so far two days but during the morning rush hour, i am walking the platform and to and from the parking lot so i am walking.
hope everyone else is doing much better than i am right now...i will get back on track...i see a contract in my future and a gym attached to the building...

I am sure all of us can relate to what you are going through. I know i can. I have done very well losing 24 lbs within the first 3 cycles. I have had days where i have slipped off the wagon a bit and have even gained 3 lbs during the ride to a skinnier me. It is going to happen to us all at some point. The biggest thing is to not get depressed and down on youself. This will only make you mess up even more. If you have a bad day and slip up it is not the end of the world. Realize this is a huge habit change and will take alot of self control. Believe in yourself...you can do it. Don't be so hard on yourself....look how far you have come!
Stay firm Lorie. I've been where you are and you can regain control and start again. I found I got to a spot where I just had to be kind to myself and make the best choices I could. I find stopping and thinking about what I have to do the next day and plan some kind of make ahead meals, snacks, make sure there is good protein and veg in the fridge. The lemon drink everymorning is a new start everyday.........this is long term and learning to bounce back is just as important as losing! Great job on the walking! You sound very busy helping others and I know that feels great but make sure you take care of you too. Keep it Up Darling I know you can!!
Hi Lorie, Great comments by you, Waps62, and TLCme. It really is just as important (maybe more) to rebound from a 'slip-up' as it is to try to keep with the program. Waps62 - your comment about not getting depressed because this can cause us to mess up even more, and TLCme - your suggestion to regain control and start again is invaluable. How many people can actually breeze through a diet program and get to their goal weight without even one slip up? When I see people on tv who lost '50 lbs and oh, by the way, it was so easy' are people who are paid to lose weight, have all of their meals prepared for them or delivered to their house, are in the public eye, and who have personal trainers to help them. Who of us couldn't lose more weight more quickly? This site at least gives us the oppotunity to help each other, and I think we're all doing a great job at it.
thank you everyone...i just get mad at myself for doing it...i have been really good this weekend...lots of salad and turkey...
Mike and I are walking in the park every day this weekend which is a huge start for me...i have been lazy about that as well...hopefully tomorrow it won't be doing what it is right now...pouring out and lightning and thundering...well rain and thunder not too bad...don't like the other..
Mike is keeping me on track, especially this weekend...i find my mother likes to let it loose a bit more...it won't hurt you...well that is what got me in the problem the first time...i am ok...won't let this get me down...not a chance...can't keep an old fart down for long...sooner or later it has to come loose...lol..
thanks again...
Glad to hear that you are back with it Lori. You continue to inspire me.Thanks.
