Turning the Cravings Around
23 01 2008At WI, I maintained. Last week I did soooo well being OP, journaling, and exercising. Maybe next week the scale will budge. I really think that the new meds and weight training may have something to do with it. I’ve notice too though, that a lot of times my actions don’t show up until the following week. So chances are, my good week will show up next week on the scale. (Same thing goes if I have a bad week.) That’s fine with me as long as we’re not going in the wrong direction!
I didn’t binge yesterday! The 2 snack size candy bars did it. They even gave me a boost at the gym, and I worked really hard. Blogging about it and writing the words out, “I WILL NOT BINGE TODAY!” really did the trick. I just needed to turn my attitude around and get focused. I was so happy that I turned those cravings around yesterday!

Hi Kim,
I love your attitude! The belief that if you stay on track the weight will come off. It is hard when the scale doesn’t move, but you got to know that it WILL if you are staying on program.
I also love the snack size candy bars. My favorite is the packs of Peanut M&M’s for only 2 points - it is the perfect way to get rid of that “I NEED CHOCOLATE!” craving.

After watching for patterns in my journey I am now a true believer in results (+/-) not always showing up when you think they will. My last two WI’s are proof of that.
Sounds like you had an excellent day all the way around yesterday. Keep up the great work! I will be cheering for your well-deserved loss to show up on the scale soon.
Hey thanks for the comment it makes about 12 servings and it 2 points per serving. The serving is a pretty big.
Your doing great. Keep up the positive attitude and you will be able to do anything!
I think you are doing great and I can certainly relate to the binging urges. Stopping at two snack size candies is great!!
Good job turning the binging around. There is definitely something in the air right now that makes it easy to say yes to bad choices, but you stopped it. Good job!!!
