BuffyBear's Journal, 11 May 2015

All of your Buddies are cheering for you as you seek to follow through....Please don't let what I am about to say be DISCOURAGING in ANY way,BUT I am trying to SALUTE what a BIG effort additional loss will take... However, you have a BIG task ahead because your body is totally convinced "y'all have arrived at a very comfortable weight"...So, as you WORK to convince your body that "YOU are NOT finished", YOUR BUDDIES ARE here for you...Have a week filled with Healthy Choices AND Affirming People!!!! 

PS: Maybe read my journal post from Jan. 23, if you never have...AND if these two COMMENTS are NOT helpful...just hit the delete button (on one or both) and We will still be buddies...:) Thanks for being a GREAT Buddy :)  

The weekend is past, time to put it behind you. Time to dig in deep and keep pushing forward. You have the plan and now is the time to start following it. We're here supporting you. The only failure is when you give up. 

STT - I am not one to turn away help. And I know your advice is true - if I want this I've got to work for it, body and soul. The climb does get steeper the closer you get to the peak.  

The key is knowledge my friend and you have all this knowledge sweetie that's obvious ... we all do this.. hey buffybear... I gained way....over 20 lbs over the holidays and until I got a hold of myself and stop the madness it was aggravating as h--- to me... but back then I didn't have the support that I do here nor was I aware of this wonderful site... I know I can speak for most here on this site that we all are here for you and we all will be your support team as you have been such great support for us.. so lets get up and dust ourselves off and begin to move forward my friend I will walk this journey next to you and be your support..my love to you and tons of hugs to you too... have a great day:)  

BB....Thanks for summarizing so well what I was stumbling around trying to get to :) 

((Buffy))  

Buffy, I understand, weekends and days off are off a normal routine. It's easier to stay on track if the day is a set routine, or at least most of it. I know I don't eat as well on weekends as I get busy and forget to eat until I'm starving, then will grab whatever is easy. I try to make them healthy choices, easier at my house with just me, I try not to keep the unhealthy stuff for me available.  

Catherder - I appreciate your support. And yes, it is PAST time to dig in deep. Giving up is not an option.  

Syndi - Stop The Madness - Love it! Am so looking forward to having such good company along the way.  

Classic - I felt that kick in the butt!  

I'm so sick of the weekend gains. It was Mothers Day and I did the cooking so I'm the blame... 

Mothers day. We'll give you a buy. (Notice I didn't log my weight today.) I know that feeling though. Glad to hear that attitude. 

Buffy, you can so do this-It is all up to you and what you want out of life 

Wholefoodnut - I know what you mean. It is a great plan to have good stuff available to "grab". Time to reboot my efforts.  

John - But how sweet of you to have done that! We'll get rid of it all this week - no worries.  

Northernmusician - Thanks for that. Sorry you had a bad weekend too.  

Rockie - you've got that one right!  

Agreed!!! My cheat day was Saturday and My mother pressured me to go off on my diet on sunday as well because of Mothers Day Brunch... I did now I am so happy Monday is here so I can be back on track  

Panigale - I have the feeling we'll both have a good recovery this week.
