Aaaaack!!
Okay, it stops now! I have not stopped eating for the past 2 days!! Yesterday Sushi for lunch, cheese dip, steak & baked potato last night, more cheese dip this morning, and now potato chips. I must stop!! I am only hurting myself and I can't seem to make myself accept that. I can't believe I've been on such a binge, and I have no reason for it.
So, it stops. Right? I can't change what I've done in the past 36 hours, but I can focus what I do for the next 6 days. So...back on plan. Quit giving in to temptation. Don't allow yourself to dwell on things and give up. All is not lost and hopeless. Right. now---2:57pm. is. a. new. start.

Weight?
Why do the numbers on the scale matter soo much? I got on my scale this morning BAN and it said that I'd lost a few pounds. Now, I know that as soon as I put on my clothes and go to JC that will be a few ounces if I'm lucky. Part of me so wants to count that BAN number, even though I know it would be false advertising! I just hate counting the center number now that the weather has gotten colder and clothes have gotten thicker. I was so close to leaving those 250s this morning BAN. I just can't WAIT to see a 240something number on the scale!!! Wish me luck...I'm going to hunt down some light clothes.

Progress
I've been doing well until today, and the weight has been (slowly but surely) coming off. I love seeing it go down each morning when I weigh myself (I know I shouldn't do this, but it's motivating to me.) Today I went to a meeting where they fed us lunch. I could have taken my chicken salad kit, but it just seemed unprofessional in the setting I was in. It was barbeque, potato salad, slaw, bread, and cookies. I had plain barbeque (no sauce, no bun), and some potato salad. I was doing good until I saw the chocolate chunk cookies....yum.... oh well! Then when I got home I realized that I really wasn't hungry since I ate that for lunch. So, I just had some of the broccoli that my mom had cooked for the kids. Later on I got a bit hungry so I ate an apple. Probably not the best choice (I know I shouldn't skip meals), but that's how my day has been.
Tomorrow will be a challenge with all the chocolate around, but I'm up for it. Luckily my kids never eat all of their candy, so I can always use the "promise" to myself that it will still be there if I really need it. That seems to work well because I trick myself out of actually eating it!
I'm trying to remember what readytochange said: "YOU ARE GOOD, no matter what you ate." I really do tend to judge myself on how I eat. My entire mood swings on it, and I am trying to change that attitude.

WELL....
Here's where it gets hard.
So, October has been a bust. I've been playing with this thing ever since I went to camp. I haven't been focused at all. 2 weeks ago I actually lost another pound, but then I went on vacation.
We went to a wedding where my daughter was flower girl. We went to the rehearsal dinner, reception..... you can imagine how I was there. Then we went to the beach. Where it was 65 and raining for the first 2 days. Then it was 65 and sunny the rest of the time. Not really beach weather. But we relaxed and rested, did 3 puzzles, played putt putt, watched movies....in a gorgeous condo at a gorgeous resort. It was fun, I guess. Just not exactly what we had planned.
Anyway, back to food. I did eat JC for lunch most days and yogurt for breakfast. But I we went out to dinner a couple of times and out to lunch once. We ate fast food on the road and Chinese when we got home. And then I started my period yesterday and ate pizza. The result---- I gained almost 5 pounds. Such is the breaks. I'm not really upset because I know I deserved it. I wasn't good.
So, the choice is now. I either quit or keep going. I already got started by going to my JC meeting yesterday. I bought a week's worth of food. And I'm determined. I don't know if I can keep my determination, but I'm going to try. I had my JC muffin for breakfast and I'm getting ready to go in there and cook my turkey sandwich. I can do this, right?
I'm scared. This is where I've always stopped. I've gotten to this point several times in the past and I haven't broken through. I've got to push past 250. It's a mental barrier. I must break it.

Perspective
I was feeling a little down today because I'm not going to reach my birthday goal by Saturday. But then it hit me--- so I won't be to 250 by my birthday, but I weigh 28 pounds less than I did in July!!! So, I'll reach 250 by the end of October instead. Who cares!!! If I hadn't joined JC, I'd probably be 10 pounds MORE than I was in July, instead of almost 30 freakin' pounds less, right? And, by the way, I've lost exactly 10% too! :)

argh
My family is having hamburgers and french fries, and I'm girding myself for battle. I'm trying to convince myself that the JC chili I have for dinner will be completely yummy and filling. Go me. (that's a little inspirational cheer there.....)
