Why the scale is a torture device.

Sometimes I need to be reminded that the all mighty scale should not be the end all and be all of everything. I have been trying to get to under 300 for a while, and when I focused I was slowling heading down from 318 316 314 312.....then i got on one day after visiting my parents and I was 320....I said f*ck it said I am taking a break and i am not getting on the scale for a while...Well I had my period at the time....So a week later yesterday in fact. I got on and I was 312...no nothing magical happened, but i stuck to my IE, exercised (although i skipped 2 days) and I had dropped what I am guessing is water weight.

So I am back on track and happy I didn't beat myself up and binge or anything

1lb

Well this week end been a little wacky. I didn't eat anything I planned to eat. I didn't over eat and I think I made good choices all week. I only exercised once this week which I'm not entirely happy with, but I'm ok with that too. Back at it tomorrow (Saturday). So anyway. I know I haven't had the big 3-4 weight loss I had been having so I jumped on the scale. I'm down a pound( to 333) . Its nice because I haven't gained, but I would like to be firmly in the 320s by the end of the month. I have managed to stick to my lent goals with the exception of the 2 beef meals I've had. I will admit Applebees has been calling and it was rough avoiding the scallops with bacon but I'm ok. Funny who I can ignore the Ben and Jerry's and not the scallops. I wonder if it will get easier. Happy that I am not forming any new attachments with food. I do have a craving for hooter, but I think their salads (if you can call it that, more like salad dressi...

Reading through my Blog/ Learning more about me

So I was looking for distraction from the vending machine monster and I found a 100 calorie snack ( i need to start carrying those again) and realized I was 312 lbs back in April. :-(, but I think the good thing is I am back at 312 and will soon be lower. I also learned spring and summer are bad times for me and I need to learn to modify my exercise plan during the summer. I think I felt like if I didn't feel like working out I couldn't do anything. I should have done maybe 30 min or something...We'll see I also noticed I am slightly scale obsessed, but like I posted before the scale has been who I judge myself and right now I WANT to be under 300lbs. So between the 100 cal snack and reading 3fc and the blog I am ok. Now home to a bowl full of mixed vegetables ( lol and I am actually looking forward to it)

Repeating Mistakes/ To fibit not to fitbit

LOL once I start blogging I can't stop. So I'm in the exercise groove...I've been here before..the weight is coming off. I'm eating right, feeling good..and then...I do too much, get frustrated and binge and then quit...sigh So I started posting on 3 fat chicks again. I felt like I need an outlet for things I was feeling without judgement and I like reading about other people struggles so I don't feel alone. I am avoiding any challenges and any group posts. The posts where everyone already knows everyone so you post but no one responds because they don't really know you...blah... The reality is I don't do well on challenges and it stops becoming about weight loss and feeling good and more about "winning" nothing..because there is no actual prize. If I win yeah..but often I "lose" and feel bad and then begins a downward spiral into feeling like a failure. Weirdly this is also the reason I never got into counting carbs or cal...
