I’m a BAD Girl (And Not in the Good Way)
I ate ½ pkg. of banana bread oatmeal this morning…couldn’t eat it…not for me.
Lunch time came and I caved…Roy Rogers…bacon cheeseburger…and strawberry shortcake (YUM). Now I feel gross. Frustrated with myself. Why do I justify it in my head somehow that it is ok, that maybe this will jump my body the right way? Ill tell you why…cause it’s happened in the past. I’ve learned over the years that sometimes when I “cheat” I end up losing weight. The problem is I don’t normally stop “cheating” and then gain back all I’ve lost plus a few or 20.
I’ve been struggling two weeks now. The scale doesn’t want to cooperate. I’m not getting enough calories/points in so by the end of the day I end up having higher calorie foods which aren’t the healthiest choice. Drinking my water and then some. Exercise not so good. I had an issue with my treadmill and my kids using it as a toy this week. I got upset and that along with sorting thru the other fabulous issues in my life, has kept me from taking my sorry behind on my little jog. I did download the music thingy to do the c25k with. Hoping that will get me going. I don’t want to keep going down this road; I’m tired of the view…

You can do it..dust yourself off and go!
sometimes cheating is a good thing…it helps relieve stress…which helps weight loss. but not too much, girlie!
Don’t give up - you can do it, and you’ll soon get off the current road you’ve been traveling on to new pastures, and you will find new, better views!
Keep up the good work, one day at a time. It’s all we can do huh.
Have a great weekend! Love reading your blogs!
I agree with Sarah, sometimes cheating is good but you have to get back on track. You can do it.
as long as you don’t let it get the better of you and let yourself cave too often, you can totally pick yourself up and jump back on the wagon with not too much harm done
don’t beat yourself up anymore, it doesn’t help. you can do it.
Ah! Debbi does that mean you are just like the rest of us on our bad days? You are normal? I am not worried about you because I know you will turn it around and start all over again! Luv ya! Linda
Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep moving forward. You can do this. It has just been a stresssful week for you and tomorrow is a new day with a new rainbow!
Hey…just never quit…we all wobble, and who knows that better than I, but if we keep trying we will win! Hang in there. I really appreciated your comment on my last blog. It really meant a lot to me. Stick with us, we are stronger together than we are alone. We all have rough patches, but as long as we keep trying, we’ll get there, step, by step…keep looking ahead.
we all cheat sometimes. I was doing horrible for a week or two, literally eating everything in sight. But, I got through it and i’m back on track. I just got to remind myself i’m tired of giving the control to food, I like the feeling when i’m in control.
You can do it hun =)
Debbi,
Come on ONE Roy Rogers meal?? You can jump right back up on that wagon!!! I just spent a WEEK eating takeout for all 3 meals and a midnight run each night after my son was finally allowed to eat again… we can climb back on together, deal? I know that a week of grease and sugar is NOT worth sacrificing a LIFETIME of health and wellness that we are BOTH heading toward, and I know that you feel the same way.
oh no a bacon cheeseburger? And cheesecake…?
I wonder if something else is going on…those sound like some comfort foods to me.
I would get still for a moment and talk to the Lord and see what He wants to say to you. I bet it will be more filling and satisfying than any food: )
My mom does that, she will cheat and be down 3 - 5 pounds the next weigh in. Me, I look at the wrong food and I’m up the 3 - 5 pounds.
But we are going to do this, so just keep imagining that nice svelte body that’s waiting to get out.
Thanks guys! Compassion and some butt whoopin, just the right medicine for me.
Just to let you know that yesterday I had a fight with MC Donalds and needless to say I did not win! Big and Tasty, a large fry and a large coke later I was feeling the same way - Icky…
God gives us a fresh start with each new day.. Keep it going - don’t give up!
Dont’ worry, you can have a little slip but the key is to say ‘Ok I was naughty yesterday, buit now I’m back on track’. If you feel crap about it and hate yourself for it then you are more likely to give in easier. Don’t be so hard on yourself
Ok, first of all, you are NOT bad. You are just human like the rest of us. And I agree, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get moving. I know you can do it, and REALLY ask our Lord to help you. He will, you know. Love you!
