Birthday Failure
Well, my birthday was last Thursday. I had a terrible time with it.
Multiple groups made cakes for me. 3 in total. Then we went to visit some relatives on the coast and they're not very careful about what they eat. I blew program severely all weekend. I told myself it was my birthday so I let myself 'splurge'. Problem is that splurge went beyond my Thursday birthday and bled all the way into Sunday. So I'm hitting the program and the treadmill hard core this week. It was a conscious decision. The one scale I have access to says I may have already gained as much as 3 or 4 pounds. Yikes. But I'm motivated, I'm back on it. Luckily I lost enough beyond goal that I'm probably only going to be back at goal Wednesday morning (weigh-in) for my 4th week of 6 to liftime. It was a one-time thing. My mentality hasn't shifted at all. I've got two days to try to make up a little for it, so we'll see. I know I'll post a gain, the question is how big will it be? I've got an event keeping me busy and out of the house tomorrow night so all I have to do is be disciplined tonight. I can do it. :Bazooka-Joe ---------------------------------- | *Bazooka-Joe* | | Was: 232.2 lbs (on 2/1/06) | | Now: 166.4 lbs (as of 9/27/06) | | Total Lost: 65.8 lbs | | WW Goal: 170 lbs | | Lifetime: 10/18/06 | ---------------------------------- |

Lets see if I understand correctly. You've lost 65+ pounds and your
beating yourself up for losing focus for a couple of days. Sounds like something like I would do. Hang in Joe and keep the faith. - Ralph Bazooka-Joe wrote: Well, my birthday was last Thursday.

No worries, it will all work out. Today's been good to me. Kept busy enough thus far that endulging hasn't been an issue. 4 points for breakfast, 6 or 7 for lunch, leaving me with half my points for dinner/snack. Haven't been good on the water today, but have had 3 cans of diet soda. I filled up a liter of H2O now and am planning on finishing it once or twice tonight. I'm off work soon and will hit the gym before going home which should win me back 2-3 points for a light workout. A sensible dinner of vegetarian stir-fry and a Skinny Cow should be all that's in the cards for me tonight. Perhaps a walk with the wife & kids too if it's not too cold. I'll try to get to the newsgroup on Wednesday letting everyone know how I did for my 4th week of 6 to LIFETIME !!! Later. :Bazooka-Joe |

Joe, Don't beat yourself up. I know what you mean about making a conscious
choice! I did the same thing in the summer during my cruise and then while visiting my niece in Ottawa...the result was a 9.8 gain that has taken me 2 months to lose. Do I regret the choices I made - somewhat, but not really. I hope you enjoyed your birthday...........get back on track and everything will work out for you. The pounds you lose now will be the most important loss of your life...........you're learning to live in the real world now.........you can do it. I know you can!

Eddie Weight June05-359.0lbs Current Weight-283.4lbs Loss to date=75.6lbs Goal Weight-180.0lbs Thanks Eddie. No problemo. We're all good here and back on track. I just turned down the last piece of double dutch chocolate cake with mocha ice cream center and instead had another glass of juice. It's all good. Weight Watchers is a great plan. This whole week, month, half-year for me is a testament to that. I can lose weight almost as fast as I can gain it (within limits). If there are any doubters out there happening upon this post, the program works people. Too many living examples to deny that. :Bazooka-Joe |
