Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 26 June 2013

I won't drop 2 jean sizes in 1 day, I won't lose 50 lbs in one month, I will miss the occasional workout, I will have bad days, my weight will fluctuate up and down, I will have setbacks, I will fail. I will not give up. I will work for what I want and I will not quit. I will keep annoying all of you with journals about me getting my butt back in gear, getting back on a wagon, and todays being the day.

I don't know what my deal has been lately. Last night I had to talk myself out of stopping for a candy bar. It wouldn't have been A candy bar. It would have been 3 or 4 candy bars. Luckily I didn't stop. I just thought about candy all night long and tortured myself. The other day it was a bag of peanut butter m & ms, some candy mix thing, and combos. Seriously? I think my inner fat chick is fighting back and my newly found size 8 chick went on vacation because those size 8s aren't going to fit even with a pair of pliers. Today is a new day. I've failed. I've set myself back but I'm not done. I'm going to continue to try and be the person I want to be. I'm also going to start weighing in daily so I can shock myself into submission. And I'm going to try to be here more. I've been a sucky buddy lately. I get one here, journal occasionally, read maybe one or two journals, then get back to work and completely unrealistic deadlines or hay bales. I'm done beating myself up.

You can do this!! That size 8 chick is healthy and muscular and can beat that inner fat chick down!

The inner conflict is not easy to solve. But you can do it. Use the "fat chick" as your motivation to feed the size 8 one. It will come together. As for the candy fix? Time to look for alternatives to that one. I have faith that you can and will do whatever you put your heart, mind and spirit into! :)

I’ve told myself that every time I started to get discouraged. Sometimes it worked and other times I ignored it. I think a lot of us feel the same way as you do. How can you be supportive and inspirational when you aren’t that way to yourself? Don’t beat yourself up over it. I’m glad that you came back.

Cravings are a bitch! I gave in hardcore over the weekend. I'm in the process of dusting myself off and pressing on!

When you figure out the 'why' tell us all - we all got it and wanna cure it.

Good for you by staying away from the chocolate bars. It's tough but you will win this! I agree with Pamula, look for alternatives but you will still need the win power to limit that as well (ie protein bars - you found those hard to stay away from too). Good luck and keep venting to us! We're all in this power struggle together and want to reach a weight loss goal! Stay tough!

I don't know what else I can add that hasn't already been stated, but just know I'm here. In the same boat as you, trying to kick my butt back into gear. You are not alone. Tell your inner fat chick to SHUT UP!

YES! Regret and beating ourselves does nothing! The NEVER GIVE UP phrase is my motto. Just keep at it and move on - we can do it together...I really believe that because people here have pulled me back from the edge...

We've all been there! Just take one day at a time. How is it the inner fat chick always has lots to say?? You can do this:)
