So, I've deleted my weight loss blog, and the sidebar, and the whole big official plan. Losing weight is hard. I've learned you can follow all the rules and still not lose weight, and that is frustrating.
Vice versa, you can eat terribly and still lose weight. I just don't get it. I ate Wendy's 4 days in a row for dinner last week, the same meal each time - large fries, small chili with cheese and 5 piece chicken nuggets. After the 4 days, I had lost 3 lbs. What's up with that? I don't know. It just seems like when I spend so much time focusing on what I eat and trying to be "good," I end up gaining more. So, maybe I just need a break from the stress. I tried the whole public-accountability thing, and that didn't work. Because at the end of the day, I need to do this for myself, not other people.
Our summer vacation is still on. We officially booked it yesterday for July instead of June. I have 4 months to try and take off some weight to wear a nice bathing suit. I have picked up some good habits through this, and I will continue them. I'm more active and I'm learning the way my body reacts to different food. I'll do the best I can with the goal of health, and if I shrink a little in the process, that's just an added perk. Maybe I'd have been better off if I had that outlook from the get-go.

Well, honey. That's all really sad sounding but I'm glad you're not going to give up completely. Medically, stress creates cortisol and cortisol blah, blah, blah. I know. I know all that and it doesn't influence how my mind and body work together, either.
Stick with it. I'll pray and together we'll accomplish something.
Don't give up.
Don't give up.
Don't give up.

Oh I really could have written this post! I am thisclose to deleting mine too! My last post made me sound suicidal!I feel defeated, but I won't give up. You are so right when u pointed out that when you have a plan and exhaust yourself and stress over it NOTHING happens! So I think you are going about it right :) don't give up, I won't either!
