JMA312's Journal, 19 July 2020

ok my daily wt today when I stepped on the "dreaded IT" registered at 167.4. Just creeping along. I'm not 'officially' posting it since I am trying the weekly average and actual instead so I will add this to this weeks dailys and post the actual and average after stomping on "IT" Saturday :-) I did get up and out for my walk this morning and I'm so glad I did. But when I got back I stepped into a bunch of little red ants and WOW for being so tiny they sure have a wallop of a sting/bite. EEEKKKK fortunately I had some Benadryl spray & gel. the spray doesn't work as well as the gel but gel is so messy. But HEY I slathered it on and it is slowly working. Last night I was soooooo close to running out and getting things that are not on my woe and really NOT even good for me & my body! I resisted and now I really want to think WHY? Why do we do this to ourselves? I know there are things in my life that I still allow to take over and affect me. BUT WHY would I resort to getting some food & drink that is just going to, maybe taste good for a little while and 'fill' something in me, and numb me, and maybe make me feel good (temporarily), and most certainly weight gain, only to "wake up" to dread and regret? I still have the temptation to go out and 'PARTY' But I am resisting it day by day and sometimes (especially lately) moment to moment. For this moment I am doing well :-)
Hope ALL is well in FS-Land & take care to ALL :-)

Hi JMA, many of us suffer from the urge to self-sabotage, and it always makes me wonder too. But I fight it, and most of the time I win. One thing that seems to help me is a cup of green tea with a little honey, I have no idea why. Weighing every day is stressful for some people, it used to be for me too, but I've gotten used to it knowing I'm going to show a gain about every third day even when I'm on my best behavior, but I also know that if I stick with it, the overall trend is downward. I Find I'm most successful when I eat within my RDI and log EVERYTHING, the good, the bad and the ugly. That way, if I'm not losing, I can go back and review my eating patterns and pinpoint the problem. Good luck on your journey, I'm here and I'm pulling for you. Let me know if there's any way I can help. 💛

I used to average my weekly weight. That's a good way to do it! Sorry about those darn ants!

thank you Shirfleur1 & ny_shelly for your comments. Came at the best time for me, as I'm a bit down today, but better now.
