Cross Roads………
Right now I am not sure where I am going with my diet. I am not quite sure what is happening! I have maintained 2 weeks in a row, and have some peronal family issues that are eating away at me. My self talk is just not working when it comes to comfort eating. I do it and then I feel sick for doing it! It makes me feel so low for doing it and when I do it I know how I am going to feel yet I do it anyways! I am proud of what I have accomplished! I have made it almost half way to my main goal! Is it self-sabatoge? Is it a fear of the unknown! I have been overweight most of my life, am I afraid of not having the fat me to hide behind, and use for an excuse, (I can’t do that because of my weight!)? I sent a message to Kim, the head of the Hot Rods and told her I needed to leave the Hot Rods! I feel I am not doing my part as a member of the Hot Rods! It is unfair to the others that are working hard when I am not! I need to get my s#%t together and right now I am not sure how I am going to do it or when! I will not give up! I am determined to continue my journey. Maybe I am giving myself a pity party or maybe it is just something else new for me to deal with! I am so thankful for my buddies that helped me come this far! I would be so thankful to anyone who has any ideas on what to do when you hit a cross road like this.
I hope you are all having a great week!
You may be at the crossroads, but YOU KNOW the right path to take! Come on, Honey, you are doing so well. Being thin will be so much better than you can imagine! Standing erect and carrying yourself well. Don’t let those fears of the unknown bother. You will just be you, only smaller. It will actually make you more confident in everything you do. You have come so far, don’t you dare give up and settle for anything but your ideal. What in the world could you do you are not already doing? You work like a dog. You handle all your responsibilities (?) and go way beyond the call of duty. STAY WITH YOUR PLAN and stay off the scales for a while. Look those issues right in the eye and tell them to back off. You want to live a long happy productive life. Much love, Your buddy, Marge
You can do it.
I am like you, I have always battled with my weight. Always!
I was at my goal for a few years when I had a ton of personal issues going on and I honestly just felt that I could not give myself the time of day because I was pulled in 5 million different directions. Do you know how much I am kicking myself for not giving me an hour a day now? I put ALL of my weight back on and am sick to be in my skin.
PLEASE STICK WITH IT! I am sorry, but I don’t know what type of plan you are following so I don’t know if you are going to meetings or not. You need to buddy up with someone or if following a plan that has meetings go!
Take things one day at a time, one hour at a time if you need to. It is worth it….YOU ARE WORTH IT!
When I hit that crossroads, I have to slow down and take a good look at the whys of it all. It takes a lot of talking to myself and reminding myself of how bad I felt when I made the choice to take this path, how much better I’m already feeling, and how good it’s going to feel if I keep going. It’s not just a weight loss journey, it’s also a soul searching journey, finding out “why” you binge, what makes you tick, and learning how to replace bad habits with good ones. It’s at this time… this point… that its SO important that you don’t stop… that you break on through, whether you feel like it or not. If you do that, MAKE yourself keep going, work on attitude (very important), then you WILL get through this crossroad, and you WILL take the right path and keep on the journey.
Make up your mind and don’t let ANYTHING get in your way… DETERMINATION… get mad if you have to… just don’t let go of what you want… don’t lose sight of your goal.
Huggggggggggggggs,

I hate to see you struggle. The comments made above are all excellent. I like the idea of a buddy to go walking with, or maybe join some support groups in your town. Try mixing it up so it doesn’t become boring. Remember now we are in the Grammas club and we have beautiful grandbabys that need us!! On some days when I’m feeling like you are I think of my sweet baby Talan and I know I have to keep trying. When you feel discouraged, just picture all those sweet babys and remember how much they need and love you! Please don’t give up…we are all here for you always.
Referring to your previous blog…it’s those little things that are so significant…less pain, getting down in the floor and getting back up unassisted, etc. Those things make such a difference.
Go ahead and have a pity party for a very short time then get over it! You need to, and can, get a handle on yourself. Don’t let everything get you down. Remember, you’re doing this for you, and not for anybody else.
