Feeling like*&^*!!
I weighed myself this morning and was horrified to see the number blinking back at me 88.7 ... I have been feeling depressed about my weight going up lately ...and stupidly have just been in denial....but now it is so close to 90 which really scares me - especially since I was down to 79.5 in October....what am I doing to myself???
I really need to get my shit together, starting TODAY - If I wait till after New Years, staying on the same track I will be close to a hundred in the new year....I can't let that happen!!!
Gosh, my clothes are getting tight, I don't want to have to buy a biiger shirt for work when I go back on the 16th - I am supposed to be getting into the smaller one!!
The last week I have been so good in the mornings...then everything goes to shit during the afternoon.

I need to exercise...can't remember the last time I did anything regular....sorry Sarge!
I need to drink water instead of alcohol...I find I eat more when I am drinking!
I need to get back to planning my meals and tracking what I eat...have not done that in ages.
I need to get my motivation back!!

So starting right now I am going to try to make a more concentrated effort...wish me luck!!

I don't know if this will make you feel any better but I am up too. I want to be 70kg but am currently sitting at 76.6kg as of this morning. Not ideal but hey, we know what to do now and can do it! :-)

YOU ARE NOT ALONE> Read my post. Lets just start being good today and hopefully lose some of it as quickly as we put it on.

GO LEIGHANNE!

I'm in EXACTLY in the same predicament only I'm too scared to get on the scales so you win there! I was doing SOOO well with nutrition/exercise and got so fit, enjoyed the process, got down to a size 10-12, was 5kg off perhaps my ULTIMATE fitness goal and being ripped!

But I'd achieved lots in the year and even though I was doing well in the fitness thing my finances and management there was crap. I got back into binge eating, vowing to stop but not managing. Reckon I've put on at least 12kg in the last 7 weeks.

2007 IS a new year. WILL be documenting my spending, paying back debt, doing workouts and have targets to achieve through the year. Self control in all aspects in 2007? Yee Haaa!

We can do it!

Remember that the easiest way to stop splurging is to figure out WHY you are doing it to begin with. You are getting something out of it, so what is it? Or, what are you trying to get out of it. For example, I'm splurging a lot right now too, I have figured out it's because:

1) I used to eat like this during the holidays, it was how I grew up celebrating them.

2) My parents are with me, and they make me seek comfort food, because they're driving me batty.

3) I'm looking for something, it isn't in any food, but still I am looking for something. Comfort, normalacy, memories, I don't know.

When you can break it down, you can look at it and say "well, that's just silly reasoning, right there. I don't think I want to do this anymore." And then you can look at your reasons for wanting to eat healthier, wanting to weigh less.

The easiest way to stay on track is to realize you don't stay stagnant in one place. A human being is a constantly shifting entity, kind of like a glass of water. You can add water, you can take it away, but you can't make it stay the same. Even if you fill a glass and make it sit there without touching it - some will evaporate. There is no staying still. So, with yourself in mind you have to ask "What will I make my boddy do today? Get bigger, get smaller? Move more, move less? Participate, lounge around?" It's up to you, forwards or backwards, but there is no standing still.

You have the power. You have the knowledge. Now all you need to do is ask yourself what you really want and go get it! :)

Good luck to you!
