guess I should have had a weight goal, up 1.4, I did eat my good fats 5 of 7
days which is an improvement for me, but the heat and bloating from that
along with not eating enough did me in and I am sure I could have done
better on the water... oh well, I didn't do anything wrong so I am fine with
that, a bit frustrating but that is life and I didn't give up so here's to a
good week for everyone, *raises glass of water*  Lee

that is why I am doing core, it seemed to me that I might not be eating
healthy enough, I do feel better, but I am concentrating on getting the
dairy and fat in, the hot weather is hard on me because I don't eat when it
is hot, also I don't eat when stressed and with my best girlfriend's husband
passing away I am under stress trying to help her, and I miss him, he was a
friend as well, and I am thinking about what if I were alone, and that has
pretty well stalled me, the good news is that I haven't given up, I know I
will eventually get the hang of eating the good oils and this stress will
pass, so while I would like to be losing I am ok with not leaving the
program, I do thank you for asking the questions, Lee

That is great that you are there for your friend, just remember to be there
for yourself also. Losing a friend is harsh, and sometimes when you try to
comfort somebody you forget to take care of your own grief.

Core is a good idea in the heat.. fruits and veggies are sooo your friends..

it is so odd that you mention this, I was so busy trying to help her for the
first few weeks, it hit me like a ton of bricks one day just how angry I was
with him for leaving, he needed to go he was very ill, and taxing my
friend's health with his care, but he was one of the few people in this
world I truly can say I liked, and who I could talk to, without fear of any
misinterpretations, I realized just how mad this made me... it is better
now, and I thank all that is divine that my DH is my best friend, but I
started thinking how mad I would be if he goes first, then after I thought
about all of this, resolved most of it in my head my friend called me to
tell me how mad at her husband she was at that moment because something good
had happened and he wasn't there to share it with her... Lee, sorry for
rambling

If I've learned one thing in life, it's that it's ok to be angry, it's ok to
be sad, and that you have to let those feelings run if you want to let them
go.

this is so very true, I believe you must feel what you are given to feel,
how you behave is another matter entirely, I can be mad and figure out why,
I do not have the right to take it out on anyone else, they are my feelings
and I am entitled to them, I am not however allowed to hurt anyone,
including myself because I feel a particular way, Lee

Hey Lee.........Instead of dwelling on that little 1.4 lbs gain, how about
sharing with all of us (especially for the newbies in the group) what your
total loss is and how you achieved it and how you are maintaining it........

I could really use an inspiring post right now if you don't mind sharing??

Hi,

I started at 251.6  currently weigh 171 as of yesterday.  Lowest weight is
151.2, my goal is 146.

Today is the beginning of week 196 on ww.  I have lost this weight by
following the ww program in the variety of incarnations since I started.  I
never fail I always just learn.

What has helped me is knowing that time is going to pass no matter if I am
trying to be healthier or not. food is one of the few things in life you can
control so why not do it to benefit yourself rather than hurt yourself...

You are asking I can hear it, why did you start...

I was having a discussion with DH's stepmother about self termination, in
general and specifically when health issues became acute and/or painful, I
had to tell her I didn't believe this was a thing I could do but I could
honor someone else's decision with no judgment...  about six weeks later I
woke up from a dead sleep and it hit me that eating improperly was self
termination one forkful at a time, so in order to not be a hypocrite I would
have to eat healthier... so the goal wasn't losing weight at all but not
being a hypocrite...

My number one rule:

"NEVER do anything to lose weight that you cannot commit to for the rest of
your life"  That doesn't mean that sometimes I don't drink enough water or
that I eat junkie foods, what it means is that I never say When I get to
goal I won't have to "insert item here"   I do indeed hate drinking water,
and work to get it   in... I am always going to hate water, and I am always
going to drink it because no matter how nasty it tastes gong down I know in
my heart is in my best health interest to drink it, and so I do it...

I wish I could write better or be more inspiring but this is just the way it
happened, I hope it helps you, Lee

Lee! I loved it!!!.......thanks so much for taking the time to share your
thoughts with us!.......I think you have a great attitude and your posting
really inspires me.........You've struck a few chords that have made me take
another look at my situation and know that I am on the right road.

Moving towards a healthy lifestyle is what my journey is all about.
Obviously losing weight will be a side effect of my efforts to live a
healthy lifestyle!

You must feel really great eh?.........80.6 lbs!!!! totally, totally
awesome!!!!

What's more important is that you've changed your life for the last 196
weeks!!! That's almost 4 years!!!! absolutely fantastic!!!!

Thanks again!

I used to get winded going from the parking lot to the door of Wal-Mart... I
was fat and had a knee injury that hurt constantly, now what exercise I get
is walking, lots in Wal-Mart... it is a huge change from saying to dh, "you
go in" or, "I'll go but get me a chair...", I don't want to pay WW the money
every week for the rest of my life but I will if I have to, Lee
