Less Lisa

WOO HOO way to go Lisa, you really did kick some serious ass didn’t you? 700 calories in a half an hour is incredible! Glad to see you so upbeat and not so down on yourself. See, you just had a lot on your mind for a while and now things are settling down and you are BACK!!!
I am hanging in there too. I followed your lead and my Big Guy did something with the scale. For all I know he launched it over the fence. I know I drove him crazy with the “I lost two pounds” on day and “I gained 3 pounds” the next. I was INSANE I swear. I am going through some serious scale withdrawls though. It’s almost as hard giving that up as giving the extra food up! How sad. Anyway, every morning at 5 when I get up to exercise I stumble into the bathroom in that “Why am I up at this ungodly hour” stupor and go to step on the scale. IT”S NOT THERE! I am trying to go to my oldest daughters b-day before I weigh, that’s November 17th she will be 11 (man I feel old for 33). I keep thinking all kinds of incredibly stupid thoughts like, oh no I am going to gain weight instead of losing this month because I wasn’t weighing. I KNOW that I just have to keep on track with my cals and exercise, logically but, that irrational (large part of me) part says OMG what are you doing? I haven’t been as emotional this week so far so I guess that is a good thing because that number always determined my self esteem for the day. So, thanks for the idea, I’m hoping it works. Hey did I mention that I am down 47 lbs as of last Sunday. That is since mid March and I have NEVER lost so much without taking some crappy diet pill (lost 80 lbs. on Metabolife and gained it all back). Ok, I am rambling on and on…
As I just typed that last line, one of my Day-care Dads brought a dozen doughnuts for us to have today. There are only 6 kids here! $#@% UGH Here’s hoping my resolve holds, if it falters the dogs will be eating doughnuts. lol
