I've been trying to eat well, and when I haven't to stay within my weekly points (I follow the core plan). I have used almost all of my points for this week and I am looking forward to not drinking.
I've been cycling at least an hour and twenty minutes a day and yesterday I went to the gym, so I've been moving my ass and working at getting back on track. I know it is bad form to weigh yourself mid week and I usually pay no mind to it, but I am up 2 lbs!!!! The really evil thing about this is that now my BMI is officially in the overweight range!
[/rant] Dammit. FUck. Shit. Not FAIR, NOT FAIR! Damn, damn, dammit. [/rant]
I swore I would never be overweight again.
While hating the world for seeming to conspire against me, and hating myself for letting myself relapse in a way I thought I never ever would, I *know* that this is negative thinking and unhelpful to me, my self esteem and me achieving my goals.
So in the interest of being positive and constructive, here is a visual reminder of the things I need to do:
1) BE POSITIVE! I CAN do this.
2) Stick to your plan. Keep exercising, keep eating healthily and I will see results.
3) Be patient. Not everything happens immediately and sometimes it is better and more authentic when it comes slowly.
4) Drink 2 litres of water a day (I've been a bit slack on this)
5) BE POSITIVE!!!
I should print these out and carry them around with me.
Thanks for listening and hope that all of you are seeing results and knowing that we can do this!!
big hugs, xxN

Positivity
Yes, just try to stay as positive as you can. This is hard but you can do it! I'm having troubles, too. I haven't weighed myself in a couple weeks, haven't been tracking anything on the flex plan and haven't been working out. I'm going to weigh in at home on Monday and start from scratch. Things happen and it sucks but I find it reassuring just knowing that the damage is reversible. Take care and have a good weekend!
I just found your blog on the EP site - I joined a couple of weeks ago. We seem to be trying to lose the same amount of weight at the same height - not something I see very often.
My weight constantly goes up and down and I seem to always return to about 135 pounds but I hate how I feel at this weight. I got down to 120lbs about 6 years ago (lightest since high school). Have snuck up to 135 - don't know how that happened. I moved to the US from Australia in 2001 and it's hard to eat healthy here - I also like a drink or 2 :).
But I've been as good as I can be for the last 3 weeks (no alchohol or chocolate and I've been exercising) - not lost one single bloody pound. But I have to be patient and remain positive. I like your reminder list - may even print it out for myself.
Good luck this week. Remember it will come off - slowly is better than fast for maintenance - I know that in my head but hard to believe when the scale does not move.
The rant section of your blog totally cracked me up. Why? Because I have those same thoughts...almost in the exact same order. If it werent for the fact i have 2 myna birds (2 and 3 year old) i probably would say them...Stay positive...hold your head high...and you can do it...I believe
