Hi all,

As expected, my WI today was a real wake-up call :(

I went up another 3.2 bringing my total loss to only 67.2 lbs from 76.8
lbs...........That's a 9.8 lbs gain in the last 5 weeks!

I'm tired of this pissing around I've been doing. YES, I made the choices
and let myself slip into the "TADA" mode because I finally hit my 75 lbs
milestone - but all that's done is set me back now :(

Do I hate myself?  No!
Am I pissed at myself? YES!!
Have I forgiven myself? YES!!
Am I thinking about giving up? HELL NOOOOooooooooo! NEVER!
Am I back on program? YES!
Do I feel like I'm in control again? YES!
Am I going to dwell on the negatives? NO!
Am I going to look back on the positives achieved in the last 13 months?
YES!
Am I going to refocus? YES!

My leader told me to make sure that I celebrate each loss from here on in -
and that I shouldn't focus on thinking about the fact that I've lost ground
and that mentally I'm telling myself that I can only celebrate once I  get
back to where I was.........I'm going to take her advice!

I've officially changed my stats (as you will see below)........

I'd like to extend a thanks to all of you out there for your comments.  I
really do appreciate them very much!

Can I make a suggestion, Eddie? Rather than constantly reminding yourself
that you had lost 76.8 lb and now lost "only" 67.2 lb (only??!!), how about
just "splicing out" the last 5 weeks and continuing on track now.

Wow! You've lost more than SIXTY SEVEN POUNDS so far. Very soon you will hit
a 70 lb milestone!

Let's go on from here!!!

Eddie,
I expect that I will be where you are in the struggle tomorrow when I WI for
the first time in 2 weeks. In the 2 times that I WI in the previous 4 weeks
I've put back on about 4-5 pounds of the 25 I had lost. I'll update my stats
tomorrow after I see the damage. If there is any good news at all, it's that
I know I'm down about 2 pounds from the beginning of this week as I have
been pretty good this week with eating and exercised twice. So what would
have been a bigger gain will be a somewhat smaller gain I think. Please
remember YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS! WE ARE HERE FOR YOU!!!

I've tried. The phone picked up and disconnected when I called, and he
refuses to respond to my email. I really don't need to deal with this
malarky; I've been eating like a pig all day, I'm so frustrated trying
to resolve this matter. The Queen was right, I should just cut my loses
and move on. Ignoring that troll's posts is the correct response.

Eddie, like others have said, don't focus on the setbacks, look at what
you've still accomplished to date and work from there. It's what's helped me
stay on the wagon more steadily as time increases :)

Eddie, have you tried the WW low-carb plan?  I find protein foods hold me
longer and are more filling than carb foods.  Just a suggestion.

Maybe she means Core, which isn't low-carb but looks to be pretty
low-glycemic-index.

A friend of mine that goes to my meeting with me got a paper from our leader
which she said she used to have a while ago (she's been doing WW for a year
or so I think) that has a high carb week on one side and a low carb week on
the other side. I forgot to ask for a copy. Maybe that's what she's talking
about?

The low carb one they had when I was up in NYC 2 summers ago.  I went to a
WW meeting in Astoria as a visitor.  They had a low-carb plan there.  The
points came out the same but there was less carby foods shown on the
picture.  It appeared to concentrate more on meats and low carb veggies and
fruit.  Have they done away with that plan?

That sheet is in every center, we still give it out.. it's a 2 weeks plan
only though..

As for that "low carb" I've been working for WW for 3 years and never heard
of it.

We have Core which is a "smart carbs" plan.. but..

I remember it being a menu plan, yes.  But the choices looked healthy on the
poster they had on the wall.  It showed meat, a salad and vegetables.  I
don't remember what else it showed.  As I recall you ate most of your points
as protein instead of carby foods such as corn, peas, bread etc.

See my reply above.  The plan I saw there at the Astoria meeting (2 years
ago this month) was definitely low-carb.  Since I am not going to the
meetings this time around I cannot get more information for you.  I only
went there one time, as a visitor.  I do not live in NY.

I say take the NSV for this reason, you went, faced it and got real with
yourself, in the past would you have done it that way?  Lee, who used to
fall of the wagon and let it run her over, NO more, and what about this...
if you had fallen off how long would you have stayed off before trying
again??? bet it was longer than this time,
