Afraid of hunger

Is it just me? Is that a crazy fear? If I am really honest sometimes that is why I eat. I eat in order to prevent feeling hungry. Now granted, the hunger I am afraid of is that hunger that is a result of really low blood sugars, headaches, fatigue, foggy brain, miserable. But because i worry about THAT type of hunger, I eat in order to prevent ANY hunger setting in. Not all the time, but I notice it sometimes. I was heading to the gym the other night, I wasn't hungry, but the thought crossed my… Continue

5.2 An optical illusion

THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO LOSE TO STOP paying WW. Amazing how easy that number looks some days and how IMPOSSIBLE that goal looks other days. Losing 5.2 more will bring me back to into the WW healthy range. It will also bring me back into the 170s for the first time in long time. I feel like I have been trying to reach this goal FOREVER. Well, its true- I have been above 180 (and most of the time above 185) for a long time. I was consistently in the 170s from the time I made Lifetime in January 200… Continue

So worth it when it works

If you recall yesterday's post? I was convinced I didn't lose anything this week. Home scale was up. I ate all my AP and FP and usually when I do that I don't lose anything. But, yep, I was down at WI. Down 1.8 pounds. I am now 184. I haven't been here in a long time. Still a ways to go. WW lifetime goal is 177- that's what I am aiming to get back to. It feels good. Gratifying. So worth it. When it works. Why do I let myself forget how good this feels? So here is to another week of planning o… Continue

Naming the feeling

Funny how we feel, and yet we really don't know WHAT we feel. I figured it out tonight. I feel like I am lacking control in life. I feel like I am powerless to control the path that lies ahead in so many respects- income, economy, getting pregnant, the choices my mom and sisters make. I was feeling that angst all weekend. But it took the whole weekend to figure it out. Sunday night, and about 13 points eaten unneccesarily, and I finally pinpointed why i was restless and wanting to eat. I am le… Continue

Re-learning, it never stops

I know its not a new idea or even that earth shattering- but man it provided me with a paradigm shift today in a way I really needed. Today I pre-planned all my meals (Meals is too official of a word- I don't really eat meals- I prepare like 8 different snacks and eat them through the day). My pre-planning equated to 18 points- 7 to spare when I came home. Well, the homemade berry bread that someone brought in to the office was too good to pass up. So I came home with only 1 extra point remainin… Continue

Is that good for your weight to come off 1 ounce at a time? Because that is how i have been doing until i lose that 1lb lol.

Hey there - I know how it is to lose weight so slowly. I guess we will appreciate it more in the end and learn more along the way.
That is what I keep telling myself anyway!
I find capping the AP really help. No more than four. If for some reason I am so hungry that I can't help myself then I just use my extra weekly points.

I love your name! Cute. Thanks for the support. I am so close I can taste it and have been there once before and gained it back slowly. I hate losing ounces too, makes you feel like you will never get there. Sounds like you had a great loss yesterday and not much to go to hi 170s, keep it up and goodluck!
