OK, my last post was a feel sorry for Kay post, but I feel better because of all of the kind things that my BFC friends have said. I was not fishing for compliments, I was really struggling. I really liked what Beth said about catching yourself in the mirror and thinking who is that person? That's what I feel like a lot. I think if I had more going on, like a job that made me use my brain once in awhile, I wouldn't have as much time to focus on "poor Kay"! I have come a long way, the pity party is officially over!
My weight this morning was a nice surprise. Gosh I am so close to 139 now. It just seems so easy now to stay away from sugar. We went to a friends party this evening and she had made some brownies that I was not tempted by, but she had made a peach cobbler that looked AMAZING!!! Especially since I keep wanting some cobbler. I did not eat any:) Success!
I almost hate to write down what I have been eating lately because I know I eat too many carbs and I don't eat enough healthy things. Since I have found a balance and I am still losing a little, I guess I will just keep it up. When I get stuck again on the weight, I will cut back. I don't want to be a bad example, but I am a real example! I didn't even think about having a treat when we got home from the party??? Weird! It's too late at night now.
Sweet dreams:)
Kay, it's working for you and that's what you should do. I eat too many carbs too, but working on that! Have a great weekend! I'm at the beach for the week.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Kay! I know that you were not fishing for compliments the other day but I'm glad you shared how you were feeling because we can all relate. I love how the bfc community is so supportive and encouraging which is something we need while we are trying to figure out this low sugar thing. It's like you have said before a diet/lifestyle that will work is one you will actually do.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Kay!
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely wonderful to see that 140 on the scale!! So excited for you!! I cant wait to see that number on my scale someday. I know it will happen, might just take a while but I am getting there.
I wanted you to know that the pictures you posted of yourself the other day really inspired me. There is a really big difference in teh way you look and I am going to give myself a week to reduce my sugar intake to BFC acceptable limits as well as keeping the carbs in check & see what happens. I gained 2# this week & I really dont feel like that much of a gain was truly justified as I only had a couple of slip ups. Since buying my new size 14 jeans, because of teh low rise of them I see my belly muffin topping & I really hate it. I want my belly to look like yours!
So see, amidst your pity party, you inspired someone...ME! Thank you! I will keep u posted via my blog. Havea great day!

HI Kay, First great job on passing up those deserts. That's a lot of pressure. See you CAN do this if you really put your mind to it.
ReplyDeleteI think you should post everything. That is the best way to be accountable. And we all love you and support you no matter what you ate. We are all rooting for you. :-)
All Right Kay! Great job resisting the cobbler - I bet that was tough for you, you have been talking about cobbler for a bit not. I've got to make one soon....
ReplyDeleteKeep writing down what you eat. I notice when I stop writing it down I stop eating the 'right' things. It helps to be accountable, without a doubt!
139 next week! !!
I'm not *quite* as young as you think - I AM pushing 40 ... well I'll be 38 in December. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for telling me to add 'me time' to my list - it is a very important thing to do for myself, absolutely! Now just to figure out where it goes....
Kay,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words! I still think that mirror/picture issue is more than just about our weight. When my friends mom died last year, my friend said about her mother, "I'll bet Mom still felt like the young girl she was, even while laying in the hospice bed". That stayed with me about feeling the same on the inside. Anyway, 140lbs means the way you are going about this diet is certainly working for you! I think you know your body and what you personally can and can't have! For me, the brownies would have been harder to stay away from than the cobbler! Good job!
