BuffyBear's Journal, 25 Feb 14

I'm with you this week Buffy - I got to shift these pounds....summer is coming and last year I didn't get to wear half of my wardrobe because of weight gain....this year I want to wear everything...might have to do wardrobe changes mid day :) 

Ditto..Tracy...:O) 

Tracy - Same problem here. If I don't get 10 pounds off fast I'm going to have to spend my summer hiding in big winter sweaters. Not a fun thought in North Carolina! BTW - Keep us posted on how that Doctor's visit went.  

Bren - Last I looked you were doing great. Am sure you'll be in fine shape this spring!  

You are very self-motivated. I know you will dig deep and stick to your plan. No winter sweaters in summer for you! 

gilliansings - Just catching the little mistakes before they turn into big ones! Thanks for your encouragement.  

You Got This!!!! 

That's the trick - catching the little mistakes before they turn into big ones. Sounds like you've got this! Have a great day. 

Love that note & your commitment. I'm realizing too that for me, especially on the weekends, I need a similar note to re-focus & commit! xoxox 

I need to start jouraling again... I can see that, it really helps to see what one is doing right/wrong and you are doing that right.  

Buffy you are doing great! Keep on keeping on! Have you been reading the Calorie Myth again? I have been looking at podcasts.  

Rocky - We've got this! 

Lynn - My Grandmother used to say "A stitch in time saves nine".  

Ruth - It is so hard with company, pizzas, etc. But this is all part of life so we must learn to adapt.  

Glenn - Seems to be a useful tool, but I like it because I learn so much from others journals. Maybe someone could gain something from mine as well.  

Mom - Nice to have you back with us! Actually looked up something in the book last night. So much info!  

I have learned that the reason I am overweight is because I am very lazy when it comes to myself. I bend over backwards for other people but will not do anything for myself. Grrrrr. 

I am always surprised after eating poorly then eating well for a day or 2 how much better I feel and how happy the weigh-ins go. You are on the right track. Stay there. Best part is this is the first time during a weight loss period that I have gained back a little weight but KNOW that it is going to come off again soon because I am a different person because of all I've learned on this site and because of all the support we get here. COOL! 

CarolynVelez - right now making sure you are feeding yourself good food is the most important thing. After you are doing well you will have more energy for others.  

Neptune - So very true! And great attitude. Like you said - COOL!
