It's been a while. I'll admit that after setting the goal for mid-December I started to rationalize that I'd just wait to step on the scale until then. With Thanksgiving (and my mom's stuffing ~ I love that stuff and could make a meal of nothing but that) in between my last weigh in and now I half thought of abandoning my plan. But as I let more and more time slip by, I began to notice that I was not at all watching what I was eating. I was back to sneaking cookies and candy while the kids were napping, going back down that slippery slope that I've gone down so many times before...
So this morning I sucked it up, got the camera and got back on the wagon.
I'm realizing now that I'm not gonna make that goal of 160 even by the end of next week, but at least I'm back down to the lowest I've been since I started "this round" of the "new me." Oh how I wish I could just flip a switch and not be addicted to food. It's a daily, no, make that hourly struggle for me. But I do have these three faces to motivate me to be the healthiest mom I can be...
And if I can't do it for myself, maybe I can find it within me to do it for them!

You know I am right there with you, girl! I consider my struggle an addiction as well... I am here to support and encourage you! I am proud of your loss! Keep it up!
I struggle with food too and emotional eating, so I know how hard it is...keep it up!
Good for you, Kristi! That's why I DO think it's an addiction- because otherwise it would be EASY to do it for our beautiful children.
Keep on keeping on, sweetheart. You know that I have had the same struggles all of my life. I'll try to make it easier for you while you are with me for Christmas. Let me know what healthy snacks, foods, etc I can have here for you that will satisfy some of your tastebuds without sabatoging your efforts.
I'm proud of you.
Mama
The holidays are so hard! And so is having little ones. I found myself going through half of Noah's goldfish last night. I'm totally a stress eater and I've been overwhelmed lately. Hang in there! Let's try to make it through the holidays together!
I gave up coke nov. 1...little did I know that 5 days later I would go into an 8 day marathon of no sleep...the sound of those coke cans being cracked open at 2 am by my sister almost sent me over the edge BUT...I am happy to report that I am still coke free and have lost 7 lbs just doing that. Imagine if I would cut out other sweets and started exercising again.??.that went out the window when I headed up to MN... I have decided that Jan 1st I will hit it hard. I figure getting thru Christmas without mom will require lots of chocolate!!!! Hang in there, the holidays are hard!
You go girl!! Isn't it funny how in our 30s the motivation is health?! Now, I'm looking for blood pressure and cholesterol numbers to stay good from my working out. A cute figure is about 5th down on the list of incentives...still there, just much lower down;-)
BTW, you look fabulous!!
Go, Kristi, Go!! Go, Kristi, Go!!
As I read this post (and all of the other weigh-in-Wednesday posts) I think about how I should join you. Food is an addiction for me too. sigh.
Keep it up....you are such an encouragement to me!
Way to go!
I have the same struggle, Kristi. It's really a lot like smoking. Just one more cookie can't hurt all that much, can it? Then 10 lbs later...
Ugh... I feel your pain. I wish we lived closer so that we could walk & run together!
