Crash Averted.
First of all…
I am so very thankful for the loving support and advice yesterday. I cried as I read your responses and I thank you for sharing your hearts with me. I honestly dont know the words to express what I feel for you guys…I can just say Thank you from my heart.
I did a lot of crying and reflecting yesterday. I have a lot more digging to do. This weekend I plan to continue. The good news is, I did not numb with food. And, I got in my 3rd day of my first week on C25K. Baby steps, baby!
Tomorrow is weigh day for my team…so I will be bringing out the scale. Its funny because as much as Ive had urges to weigh, I am also dreading getting it out. I really am afraid that if the numbers dont reflect not only my efforts but also how I am feeling about myself, then it will be a BIG negative. Right now I am feeling positive about my progress this week and am physically feeling the changes.
Again…you all are the best. Im sorry for putting things out there like yesterday…but I need to for me AND it sure helps to get feedback and support. It helps me more than I can express.

You don’t need to apologize for writing what you feel! And I think it’s way more than baby steps to not turn to food for comfort. It’s a big step! You should be proud of yourself. The scale will just give you a number. It’s up to you how you react to it, and the scale can’t take away the work you have put in or the healthy changes you have already made.
No matter what the scale says, you KNOW how you feel, the things you have accomplished. The scale can’t measure being able to go further, lift more, run faster… none of that… and if all weight were created equal, my mom and I couldn’t share jeans with her being 50 pounds lighter than me! I like to say she’s fluff and I’m tough!
Here’s to a good weigh in, and still being happy even if the numbers don’t know what the heck they are saying!
Hey you are a great buddy and deserve the best!
so sorry i missed your blog yesterday - i wasnt online at all. glad you are feeling better today and glad the buddies rallied the way they do! you, too, are rallying! i can see it and feel it! thanks for you comment to me earlier. you keep rocking it - including the feelings. we are all here for you.
Hey girl, don’t worry, if that ole scale dosn’t show you the numbers yet, it will. You can’t work as hard as you’ve been doing and it not pay off. You don’t have to be sorry for sharing your feelings with us, that what we are here for, hope we helped. Lots of love, good luck.
Love you Debbie!
Ok, so you know I am the Queen of Plateau - been at this point for going on almost 4 or 5 months now right? I get discouraged..but I know that this is where I want to be and I can’t go backwards. The slide back to easy street is easy. Like this morning, it took almost 10 minutes to drag my arse out of bed and to the gym, but I did it and I’m glad I did.
If the scale does not reflect your effort, do not get discouraged….it will pay off I guarantee it.
Even if the stupid scale doesn’t befriend you - just know we are!!!
STAY STRONG - you know you want the bootie bounce tomorrow and I’m ready for it.
I think that’s the scariest part about hiding the scale, knowing you have to step on it after one whole week and not knowing what it’s actually going to say! Don’t let your happiness depend on what the scale says though, you should be proud of your efforts during the week. Have a great day Debbi!
Hey Debbi,
I did read your blog yesteriday..never got back to comment- so sorry about that.
I am so proud of our buddies here…they sure know how to wrap a person in love and comfort.
These guys already said good things about the scale..girl, dont give your power away to MR Scale…you know your doing good in all the right ways..so dont worry about the weigh in.
By the way…did you find your butt bra or something that will help so you dont hurt?? I sure hope you did!
Much love girl…Debbie
Don’t ever feel sorry for venting, that is what support is so good for!
Ok, you have to get the scale out, I agree do not give your power away. You do know you are doing the right things so keep it up no matter what. Hugs, Kama
Yea for you Debbi! I think much of life needs to be taking in baby steps. Weight loss, mending a broken heart, losing a loved one, etc. If we take one giant leap wouldn’t that be considered time travel? LOL have a great weekend and if the scale doesn’t give you the magic number, just shoot it
