Last week 's weigh-in was god awful. I was too embarrassed to even post last week! I'd gained 5.4 lbs., weighing in at 209.6. That was due to a combo of monthly water retention, and a Rosh Hashanah dinner that was completely out of control. I ate so much that I barfed. Reminiscent of my bulimic days of yore...I'm SO glad that it's behind me. So, I vowed that this week would be better. Sunday was fine. Then Monday, my sister and I decided to celebrate her birthday early. Our version of birthday celebrations entails eating with abandon. Not the best way to celebrate, but it is a major treat for both of us, as she is on JC too. (Shout out to the fabulous Lizbeth, who has lost over 40 lbs! ) *Results Not Typical So, we went to Red Lobster for Endless Shrimp...followed by Krispy Kreme. Oh boy. Then, 2 nights ago, I had another compulsive eating event, not as bad as Rosh Hashanah dinner, but pretty egregious nonetheless. I gorged myself on chocolate, nuts, and tortilla chips. Yeesh.
Regardless, I am down 5.2 lbs this week. I am pleased and relieved. I hope this week will be a really good one...this self-sabotaging is becoming positively ridiculous.
Toodles...

Self Sabotage
Well, what is up with all this "self-sabotage"????? I feel like I have a real "brain-fart" sometimes and lose all civil thought about healthy foods and portions!! You barfed and honestly if I had.....I would have felt better. Instead I had a terrible case of heartburn!!
Yay!! for your being down this week. Also, tell sister that I said congratulations on her 40 lb. loss. You are doing awesome and now this "brainless week" is over so we can get back on track.
Great job on being honest! I can relate to the self sabotage!

YAY!
Oh I'm SOOO glad you had a good loss this week bebe! Does that mean we can have more shrimp tomorrow??? Haha..yeah, right.
You continue to inspire me! You're doing so awesome and the fact that you're doing so well (even though in your eyes you're not since you're not losing right now) helps me have hope that my efforts are not in vain. It is an amazing accomplishment to stay where you are and to have been working on this for so long!
Thanks so much for your support of my mini-break. I think I really needed it for my mental health. I know I'm learning a new lifestyle, but I can feel myself ready to throw in the towel. This is definitely the best choice for me.
Congrats in getting your jump start. Your success is such an amazing inspiration. I feel like a celebrity just commented to me!! ;)
