Oh shucks!

I felt quite skinny today so got out my size smaller jeans to no avail !
I mean they fit but tightly. I want to eat and i want to cry. This is so
strange as I'm doing very well. I felt I was down smaller after my 8
&1/2 lbs but I feel defeated. I really thought I wouldn't want to eat
away my blues, but here I am . No, I'm NOT eating but I'm thinking about
it. Hey guys ,PLEASE tell me to get real and look at myself in a
differant perspective. Why am i doom & gloom after trying on jeans? I
feel like an idiot.

I blew off steam so maybe I'll get better?

Hi Gloria,

What your feeling is normal. Does this help? Just keep in mind, in a few
weeks your going to be smaller if you maintain your good eating habits and
those jean are going to fit. Think down the road that one day they may even
get loose or may even become to big for you. DON'T forget to eat. Not
eating can be worse for you physically and emotionally.

Keep on posting and I'm sure you'll find some comfort in the posts people
place. You're going to make it just keep going. Eat veggies and fruit if
you get hungry and stay away from the junk food.

Take care,

Paul

Hey glo, don't get this out of proportion. It's like reacting to the
scale when it doesn't tell you what you want or expect. It doesn't
change the fact that you're doing OK - remember, it's the bigger
picture that matters. Those jeans WILL fit you, maybe not today or
tomorrow but soon. Hang on

Thanks Paul ! I guess I was jumping too fast wit my feelings, but I'm
like that. This is why I'm with problems
Anyway, I'm happy to see your post as I NEEDED it. WHEW , I'm getting
through this and I DIDN'T eat !!! I'm not really as hungry since getting
my WOL/WOE under control lately. Hey, it's been over four weeks and I'm
still doing ths (with a few hitches now and than) and I'm going to be
okay Thanks to my friends here.

Gloria,
I agree with Paul & Janice. Hang tough. Those jeans will fit you
before you know it. look back on your past posts about how well you're
doing and I'm sure you won't want to eat. Well eat but something healthy
that you won't regret eating later. I'm pulling for you because you've
become my inspiration.

Janice, thanks so much! I KNOW ,I KNOW but I just fell back into my
little trap of doom even when I was feeling strong. I'm not eating !! I
talked to DH and told him my heart and he understood. He doesn't KNOW
EXACTLY what my compulsive eating IS but he is my mentor. I asked him if
he will be plus I asked my best friend . So I have someone home and at
work to help. Dr Phil suggested this and it is good SO FAR
Thanks again, Janice.

Well done glo, for staying strong . It's nearly 4 weeks since I
recommitted to my WOE. Together we'll do this

They'll fit soon, I'm sure, Gloria. You need to be more patient, and
not let yourself be discouraged by every little time that your results
aren't exactly what you expected. Of course you're smaller after
losing 8 1/2 lbs. But maybe it didn't come off in exactly the right
place for those jeans, or maybe it just isn't quite enough yet.
You'll get there, though. I think you need to change your perspective
on this a bit. You didn't put on the weight overnight and you won't
lose it overnight. Just accept that you have to stick to this for a
long time, and will always have to eat differently than you once did.

It's reasonable to be a little disappointed if you thought the jeans
would fit and they didn't quite. But it's not reasonable to let it
defeat you. As we say in weightlifting circles, "Butch up, girl!"
:-)

Don't let those jeans get you down. You know you're headed in the right
direction and that's all that counts. I've had some good wool slacks
hanging in my closet for quite sometime. My utlimate goal is to be able to
fit back into them. I'm having the same problem with them that you have
with your jeans - I can get them on but they're tightg We'll get there!!

Judi, Thanks much and I am getting more real now. I lost another two LBS
now so it's good ! 10& 1/2 LBS since i started back with this. So did
you get the Dr. Phil book? It is such a great help to me!

Thanks for your post
