First WI of the Year
3 01 2008I’m pleased to announce that I maintained this week. I succeeded in my goal of maintaining or having no more than a one pound loss. AND… I’m starting the year off with a 50 pound loss from last year! The secret to successfully not losing weight this week? hee hee … I didn’t journal and ate pretty much everything I wanted, but with some moderation. I’m really taking my time getting back on the wagon, but that’s okay. I still don’t feel I’m overdoing it, and I’m still going to the gym a couple/three days a week. Next week’s WI I’d like to have a little loss and be a little more in control.
Is that what all of this boils down to? Being in CONTROL? I think for me it is. Several times over the holidays I found myself entering the eating frenzy… the feeling I get when I binge. I get a little light headed. my pulse increases, and my hands start grabbing at any food around me and start stuffing my face. I’ve gotten a lot better of recognizing this pattern and the feelings associated with it so now I can stop myself and you guessed it, regain CONTROL. Hmm…. another realization regarding my eating habits thanks to making myself blog. You’ve gotta love this weight loss tool!

Wow what a huge step to make the emotional connection. To have stepped back and realized you were heading for a binge takes a lot of will power and self awareness. You should be extremely proud of yourself. Way to go!
Cool! It’s really amazing that you’ve learned to pinpoint your pre-binge actions. I strive to be able to do the same thing soon. Control is so difficult to achieve but you’ve given me a lot of hope
Congrats on your loss this past year!!!
I think you already know this…You are such an inspiration!
Great job!
