Celebration
So, I'm on the mentor team at school. We had a party for the new teachers on staff. The menu: pizza (all kinds, from Papa John's) and cheesecake (all kinds!!) What I had: a diet coke! I kept telling myself that it wasn't worth it to eat and mess up my weigh in on Saturday.
Of course, I came home and ate some of my kids' spaghetti sauce, but that can't be that bad, right?? I was really careful to eat around the meat.

TOM
So, I can feel TOM coming and my resolve slipping. Even though I know why, all I want to do is eat. How do I talk myself out of this depression?? I ate a half a bag of baby carrots with low fat dressing and it did nothing for me. I want potato chips, dip, bad stuff....
I'm sick of this negative attitude that I have right now. I'm unable to look at the 22 pounds and feel that they're significant. I got on the scale a little while ago, saw that it had gone up 5 pounds, and wasn't even surprised because I just feel fat!! Now, I know that if I think about it, I know that it's late afternoon, I just ate...lots of reasons why the scale would be up....but I'm unable to believe any of them. It just sucks to be female. I feel like a slave to hormones.
I feel fat, ugly, hungry, and completely unable to make good choices. I'm typing so I don't eat right now!! Even though I know that my weight is likely to either plateau or go up some because I'm approaching TOM, I just want to help it out.
Sorry for this horribly depressing post. It's how I feel right now, and I'm not sure how to counteract my feelings.

260.8!
Woo Hoo...a downward move makes me truly happy! :)
Almost to those elusive 250s!! I haven't seen them in several years. And! I've lost 4 inches in my waist!

Scarce
I've been rather scarce around here lately. Going back to work has been kicking my butt! I'm in charge of of my grade level's big trip in September (we take 100 -odd 5th graders to environmental camp.), and our informational meeting was this week. I've been working on getting everything ready for that. The nice thing was that it didn't give me much time to eat or think about eating.
Last night was a big challenge. Usually we go out to eat before our big meetings. I brought my JC dinner with me. My grade level mates have been so understanding, but it's definitely hard for me. Also, all I had was ravioli, and it's just not so filling. When I got home they had ordered pizza, and it took all I had not to heat some for me. Instead I roasted another head of cauliflower! Go me!
My scale has been pretty happy. My BAN first thing in the morning weight has dipped below 260 a couple of times. I would be happy with any kind of loss though I just want to get going back in the right direction. I would be sooo happy to be in the 250s by the time when my husband gets back in town 2 weeks from now. So that's my very short term goal.
Tune in tomorrow for the latest weigh-in numbers... :)

Up
Up .8
My consultant said that she absolutely refused to think of it as a gain. She said that I was to look at last week and this week together. Still down 5.8 in 2 weeks!
I'm trying~

BINGE?
So, last night I'm all bummed about my apparent (for no reason!) weight gain this week. I know that it all evens out in the end...I know that I lost an amazing amount of weight last week, but it's still depressing... So I want to binge. I really do. There are chocolate chip cookies in there, people. There are goldfish crackers. There are cupcakes, for goodness sakes. But I don't want to blow it. I want to be able to tell my consultant that I really was good this week even if the scale doesn't show it. So, here's my binge: about 10 pickles, a green pepper, a cucumber, a bag of baby carrots dipped in low fat dressing. Now, I know it wasn't perfect (hello, pickles? salt!!!) and the dressing did have calories, but c'mon, it was way better than it could have been, right?

bummed
It's depressing. Even though I know it's probably a correction because I lost so much last week, I can't stand to see the scale stand still. It hasn't moved so much as an ounce this week. In fact, at times it's been up. Beside one little cheat on Saturday, I've been perfect! I'm starting to get really down on myself, and I can feel myself wanting to eat. In fact, I ate 2 goldfish today and a bite of my daughter's noodles. It wasn't that much, but it's the first time I've given into the "clean everyone else's plate" temptation. I really need good thoughts to keep it up this week and for the scale to move even a few ounces by Saturday.

Can't wait!
I'm so excited for tomorrow's weigh in.
My son got his green belt tonight in karate and asked for ice cream to celebrate. I didn't get any. It wasn't worth it to mess up an amazing week!!!
