I am still trying to re-focus myself... I am not even hungry lately but I keep eating... I know it happens and its just something in my brain.. but the switch needs to flip back to diet mode... I have been fluctuating on the scale up and down with the same 2-3 pounds... I just want to make it to 220... thats my first goal.. but I just don't have the inner strength right now...
I was supposed to start training for a 5k today... but that did not happen... woke up this morning and my knee was swollen and throbbing as is the top of my foot..both on the left side... I just could not put myself through running when walking is painful enough.
I am hoping that it is just a flare up of my RA... and that it will pass... but I am so tired of the constant pain., I just started working out again this week after the last flare up of my knee... my doctor gave me an injection in it 3 weeks ago and here I am again....
So, tomorrow I am getting my nails done and than I think going for a walk... If it hurts, I am going to suck it up and at least try! I can always take pain meds if I have to...but I think I need to give the Zumba a break again...
I am not feeling as depressed or hopeless as I was last week... but I am feeling disappointed in myself for not having the strength and willpower to walk away from food!!! I blame my neighbor... ever since he brought me that delicious crumb cake from his job.. and the other stuff from there a couple times I week, I have seen my strength weaken! I want to tell him no more.. but there are 3 other ppl in this house that should not have to give something up just because I shouldn't be eating it!!
I have decided that as of Monday, I will be back on Phase 1 for 2 weeks... so I can jumpstart this weight loss and continue on!!

I know exactly how you feel. I've been having some issues too. I eat when I'm not hungry & can't seem to get it together. Fibro has been flaring so exercise has been out. Started back today so hopefully I'm getting back on track. Good luck with your diet. I need to lose 50 lbs but the only way it seems possibly is to tackle 10 lbs at a time.

Put that not so good week behind you and start fresh! You are strong and you have the mindset and will to go on inside you. You just have to bank on that and keep your eye on the prize! I believe in you Melissa!

ZivaDavid11 is absolutely right! Make a LC dessert that satisfies you and freeze it in portions. Then when temptation is over the top indulge in a bit. Have a supply of a few LC treats that will be your substitute when the sharing neighbor treats your family. I make a flourless chocolate cake using xylitol instead of sugar that is to die for. It has under 5 net carbs per serving. I don't count the carbs in xylitol as they act like a sugar alcohol without the digestive issues and it is derived from birch trees and corn husks instead of chemicals. Regarding your pain please do be careful. I am no expert at all but everything I read indicates you should not risk ongoing injury as pain is telling you to stop. Your doctor will be your best advisor. Eating without thinking is a problem I think most of us in this club suffer. Try some of the snack recipes to have on hand at about.com with Laura Dolson who is a long time LC advocate. When you are in the mindless eating track, even if you go over your daily count if you eat the LC items instead of chips, candy, cookies, etc. you will be not too far off track. You are really doing quite well as you are recognizing your issues!!!! Good luck!

You are not on this jouney alone. Today is a new day. Don't punish yourself for what you did or didn't do yesterday. You can't change it. Just focus on making today better. You can do this!

Hang in there. Make friends with your garbage disposal for gifts of sweets. Sugar is not good for anyone, so no matter who else is in the house, if the cake was given to you, you can do what you want with it. If I had a cake in the house, I would eat it so fast I could set Olympic records. Take care of yourself and know that you are on the right path. Hang in there!
