Cheeks's Journal, 05 May 2008

Feeling a little down this morning. Husband is away now for the week. I only had a .7 loss for this mornings weigh in, which is disappointing as I had weighed myself on Friday, and there was at least a 1 pound loss then, so I figured for sure I'd be in the 180's this morning. I even played in an all day volleyball tournament on Saturday, and stayed within my points, so I expected more of a loss, I guess I just can't wait to be in the 180's….but more so I'm looking forward to being in the 170's which was where I was on for my wedding. Then on my way into work this morning I called my mom. I haven't really kept her in the loop on my weight loss this time, because my weight had jetted over 200…which is my highest weight ever, and I was embarrassed for her to know. All my life my mom has been on me about my weight. I know she means well, but sometimes the way parents say things, just aren't taken well (no matter how old you are!). I told her that I was disappointed with a .7 weight loss this morning and that I expected to be into the 180's. She asked how much I weighed, I told her I now weighed 190.8, and that I have lost 17.3 so far. Instead of saying good job on your weight loss…or anything along those lines, she said, wow, I didn't realize you were that heavy, and then she had to get off the phone because she was just walking into work. My mom is very supportive in other areas of my life, and I'm sure the conversation would have gotten better, but because she had to get off the phone, I was left with sort of an icky feeling…which of course adds to me wanting to eat. I've managed to shake off my initial "I want to stuff my face now". I'm going to try and stay strong…I'm sure work will be okay, but once I get home tonight, and no hubby….I'm hoping I can keep on track.

Cheeks-- stay strong!! You can do this! Don't let your own personal feelings get in your way.. Our negative self talk can be the most destructive part of our weight loss journey. You sound like me-- extra hard on yourself, warranted or not. Try to keep yourself entertained tonight-- go for a walk, hit the gym, read a book, whatever will keep your mind off of your struggles and loneliness. Look at the bright side-- it's only a week and maybe by the end of the week, you will have a good loss to show for it!

Thanks Kat :) Luckily I've been busy today...and haven't been thinking of food at all. I did have a craving for chocolate, and my friend said...NO! you can't have it! hahah so I put gum in my mouth instead. I'll have to work on the not being hard on myself =). Thanks for the encouragement! =)

That is a great loss! And our weight fluctuates throughout the week. Next week you'll probably have a bigger loss. It may take a little bit for that volley ball calorie burn to catch up with you. I know how much you want to get down to the 180's though - I totally understand! You know the stuggle I've had being stuck at 230! Just keep going! It will pay off! I understand the mom thing too. I think its just that their opinions mean so much to us. My mom can change my mood quicker than anyone else - just by saying something in the wrong tone! But dont let it get you down! You are doing so great and you are so Beautiful!! Try to shake it off and keep going. We're all here for you! :-)
