Well, as I sit here staring at an ad for free fast food restaurant coupons(REALLY AD BAR? that's what you thought I'd want to see?), I have a made a new mini goal for myself. I think I do better when I don't thing of the weight loss in one big gulp. Instead of thinking I still have 43 lbs to my goal, which was an entirely random number I came up with in the first place, I'm going to think about how much I need to lose to get rid of my red bar and into my orange bar. I am roughly, based on my highly scientific math, 3.4 lbs away from my orange bar and no more red! Oddly enough this is also the weight I need to reach to get my bmi to 29.9 and then I will be overweight, not obese. So I have 2 mini goals for myself this week, lose my red bar and lose the obese tag. I think I can do it. If not this week next week for sure! I'm not going to put pressure on myself to meet this goal faster than my body wants me to, but I'm kind of excited! To be able to walk up to people and say Hi I'm fat, instead of Hi I'm obese. Ok, I don't really introduce myself like that, but in my head the next person I meet after I lose the weight I WILL BE THINKING IT FOR SURE! lol Ironically, I don't really tell people I'm trying to lose weight. I've only told 2 people how much I've lost at all. I think in my head I feel like I will jinx it I talk about it to people who see me everyday, because then they will be judging every bite I put in my mouth. Screw that!
Wow this is a long journal entry. So, today is my indulgence day. I have NO IDEA what I'm going to eat. Last indulgence day I ate a LOT of cheese and I felt miserable at the end of the day. Not going to do that today for sure. I know peanut butter is on the list, of course cheese, just not a ton. I don't know. I have a lot of calories to play with today. Last week I didn't get near the amount I was allotted, so I guess today I will give it my best effort. I'm open to suggestions.

For 140 to be a bmi if 29 and just into overweight you must be about 4ft 10inches!! At 138 pounds I'm at a 23. I had a 10piece nugget and fry coupon from hardees and one from churches only 15 min at home before I had to leave: decided fast food was my option after peeking in the frig.: picked up the nuggets, no churches on my way. The fries were really good an fresh, the nuggets were awful and all that just gave me a stomach ache. Had to be able to eat while driving. Eat something you really love.
I didn't really tell anyone either, just when they asked re: not eating the junk people bring in at work , that I was choosing to avoid things that were not healthy for me. People at work are used to me eating homemade everything so it was accepted. Then I bought some new clothes, had to, size 9 and 10. Had been in 14-16 and extra large. That's when people started telling me what I could or could not eat, a co-worker started telling everyone that I was drinking the same chemical laden protein shake mix she was using (and not losing weight) . I had already told her I wouldn't touch that stuff.

Think about that "indulgence." Stop letting your mind dictate that you've done enough so go ahead..."blow it a little." In the long run, the little indulgence you are probably thinking of, isn't even worth all the hard work you already put into it. Stay strong, you are doing so good right now. While it might hurt right now, tomorrow you are going to be grinning from ear to ear, knowing you got past that "ditch," in the road.

If it was me, I'd go to one of the restaurants I've been saying I would like to try. I don't have an indulgence day, I just give myself permission now and then, like when I go to the lake.

Wholefoodnut that's crazy. Why would she say that? Lol no I'm 5'5" if I reach 179 I will be at a bmi of 29, which is where I will be if I lose 3.4 more lbs. So I'm setting myself a mini goal of 3.4. 140 is my ULTIMATE goal. I get funny if people know I'm doing something so I just don't say anything. The diet I'm on has an indulgence day built in. That way the body doesn't thinks it's starving and stop me from losing weight.

Ok, looked at your profile for your 140 goal. LOL. You and I are about the same height. My plan is my own so only my rules.... following a specific plan devised by someone else didn't work for me.

If indulging last time made you miserable, dont do it! Or just enjoy a few bites of something you have been craving. I would alsotry to use positive words, even if it means where you will be at goal, rather than labeling yourself with negative terms like "obese". For me, it has worked a lot better to focus on the behavior (what I eat) than on the numbers on the scale. While it may not work logistically for all, eating more often and smaller balanced meals has been the ticket. Now when I overindulge, which thankfully is seldom, my body does not feel good, energy down, etc. I have also found that my level of enjoyment now has diminished vastly for some of those things I used to crave.
