Nicole Strong Barrett's Journal, 18 October 2015

Today for the first time since joining FS I made a conscious decision "to eat whatever I wanted" because "I didn't care". I also decided not to log my food because I didn't want the lecture and finger wag of my nutritional counselor who reads these, or my supportive sister. I didn't want the judgement, pity, or to let them know how weak I am. I hit my goal weight two weeks ago, the next week up a pound, this week up 2 1/2 more. I have fallen into the pattern of self sabotage. I even decided I would make up a lie to cancel my check in appointment next week. then I read an entry someone wrote about when they say they don't care they really do, and even when we have a few bad days, they get good again. And even though our lives are messy, we continue to try and work hard. I went outside and walked hard for an hour. I am in tears thanking the person I don't know for writing words to help me get back on track.I logged my food, and yes it was ugly, but I have to. Not logging it won't make it "not happen". Let's all have a great week together

Isn't FS fantastic that way?!! I faced the same temptation the other day (to not log food on a day in which I 'misbehaved') -- good for you for being honest with yourself and turning the corner . . . keep it going and have a great week yourself!

Thank you Nicole, for you have encouraged me. Over night my scales said I gained 3 lbs!!!! That is soooo discouraging . Made me want to just give up...but reading what you wrote made me decide to continue to fight this weight. Again thanks, Nicole...have a great successful week and let's just do this!!!

I fo that all the time, dont log it so i wont have to see it.. but logging it actually helps me to get back on track, We all fall off the wagon now and then. Its what we do afterwards that makes the most impact. Pick up where you left off! You got this..

Thanks for your honesty; it's refreshing. My inside rebel comes out too sometimes. I sometimes have to talk her down from the metaphorical ledge. Then I reframe and go at it again.

Wow, I've felt like not logging in and lying a smidge about how many fritos I ate. Hang in there. I'm positive without me tracking my calorie intake and forcing more exercise on myself I would be at least 10 pounds more than I am right now. Believe me I'm not happy about my lack of progress. I'm trying not to be so fanatical and make my weight my total focus point.
