BuffyBear's Journal, 27 November 2012

I'm right there with you, my friend... just haven't had the courage to weigh in yet. But have to tomo as I leave to go out of town. Feeling discourage too, but hoping we can get back on track together! 

Ruhu - Thanks! Right now I am grateful I am not heading out of town - for me that always leads to disaster!  

Step away from the scale - I repeat- step away from the scale!!;) you know what you have to do Buffy- and you will do it -don't get discouraged by the numbers :) 

Don't panic...what goes up, does come back down, but in the meantime, give yourself some space to recover. It has occured to me, that this blip in the scale, (not to mention, I have a HUGE one too), is going to be "normal" for me on an annual basis. So, I decided to do a little different with myself. Expect this from a holiday, NOBODY can eat all that stuff & not have the same on their own scale. The real "trick" is responding appropriately & not let the holiday be an excuse to derail back to all the old ways. That's when I feel truely thankful for low-carb! Hang in there girl...we can & will get a handle on this & tame that monster scale into submission! 

Of course it can get a whole lot worse.....and it DIDN'T!!! Think of how many folks out there are lumbering around with gains they won't even begin to deal with until "after the holidays." How many times have we heard that?? GG's right...go forward from here and respond accordingly. You know what works and you can control the road back....you know the way....isn't that great??? Just for you, Miss Buffy....I logged all my recent weights so we can both work our own programs and watch the graphs come down together. How great is that??? LOL! 

Buffy, you can beat the stupid scale! You are the master of weight loss and don't you forget it! 

Newmooney - OK - I promise not to weigh again until Friday! Also - will heed your advice and get to work!  

GG - No panic - just disgust. You have a very good (and realistic) point. Will try to keep this in mind next month!  

Sandy - I really appreciate that - and now am going to go look to see what I am up against!  

Neptune - I'll repeat over and over "I am the master of my universe and the keeper of the scale" - not the other way around. 

it's got to be water. 

Buffy it's early days after the festive time you have had...don't panic :)
