Haven't read "Normal Eating" yet, but plan too. I have read the book by Dr. Phil and "Hungry" by Allen Zadoff, both of which get into the head of eating. Cause yeah... I totally feel like it's all in my head. Both are good, but I'd recommend the Dr.…
You can do it!!! If you have to get rid of the ice cream in the house do it!! If you can't have temptation around you then get rid of it! It sounds like you know what you have to do, now for the hard part, you have to do it! We are all here for you!!
I completely understand. We can do this! Keep blogging and reading others. We will help each other!!
You can do this. Have you considered trying the actual in-person weight watcher meetings? I find they really work for me....once a week....not a huge commitment....but there is more accountability I find.
Wow, what can I say. I have gained back the 10lbs I lost by one bad week. And when I say "bad" - I mean
BAD. Every single day was a giant binge. I CANNOT have ice cream in house - I will eat a whole container
in two days. Ridiculous! I like counting…
I will pray for you Katie - for strength and a positive outcome tomorrow!
Great job, keep it up!
YAY!! Way to GO! It feels great, doesn't it?!

- I am a 26yr old, stay-at-home mom of a wonderful 3yr old girl...I have an amazing and supportive husband who is super healthy and wants with all his heart for me to be too because I have grown to be so unhappy as my weight has soared...

I am ready to get back my zest for life and my happiness - which food is robbing me of both! I truly have hit rock bottom and cannot continue the way I've been eating and laying around for ONE MORE DAY - I WILL DO THIS! I deserve to be healthy and my family needs me to be as well - I can't wait for this blog!

Quick Post - 2 weeks in, 10lbs gone!
I am off to make dinner, but I weighed in this morning at 225 - 10lbs down for 235 where I started! I know
i could have lost more than 5lbs a week b/c I am so big and it tends to "fall off" at first, I am happy that it
wasn't drastic. I have lost 15lbs in a week before, but to gain it all back in 3 days. I feel I have done it the healthy
way. I haven't been perfect - some days I went over points and some days I stuck right to it, but overall I
feel better, a bit lighter, and I haven't done anyth… Continue

Previous Post about "Forgiving Yourself"
I just finished reading an old post by Roula about "Forgiving Yourself" and boy did that strike a chord with
me.
It's amazing how much self-loathing I have acquired in the last five years from eating junk and laying around.
My weight has basically stopped me from doing every single hobby I used to love to do - walk, run, bike, swim,
hike, play tennis and volleyball, garden, and even playing the piano - one of my biggest passions in my life is
music and it's hurts my back to sit too long at the… Continue

Take Two - The First Time I Was Kidding
Ok, so a week or so ago I joined and got gung-ho and decided "I AM GOING TO DO THIS!". Lose the darn 100lbs,
get my life together, gain health and happiness.
Unfortunately, I had no plan, no rules, and no real idea of what my
expectations and limits for myself were going to be.....lo and behold within about 2-3 days after starting my
"life change" I was back to eating junior bacon cheeseburgers and large cokes for lunch (lets also not forget
the butterfingers afterwards). My husband often wonde… Continue

Second Day Thrills Gone
Ok, so every time I start to lose weight, the first day is very exciting. I do all the pep-talks, feeling proud of myself
for changing, excited about my new life-ahead type of stuff. THEN...the second day :0) Ah, the dreaded realization
that 1) yes, this is for real, I did say I was going to change and 2) no, you may not eat cheetos or ding-dongs.
BUMMER!
Yesterday I was definately feeling pretty ticked off about not being able to eat the bad things I
wanted. I really really wanted something sw… Continue

- Leah thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you can relate to the trim and healthy counterpart conundrum! I feel the same way as you, like I can't be who I feel like I should be for him because of the way I look...but you are right, it's all going to change! I'm looking forward to going through your blogs soon...but for now I hope you have a good weekend...full of healthy HAPPY choices :) Cheers!

Ashley said… - Thanks for the comment. That's one of the things I love about BTL. I'm finding so many kindred spirits who don't just say they get how I feel, they actually do get it because the deal with the same thoughts and feelings on a daily basis. I'm off to read through your blogs. I would love to have another person to talk to who gets it!

Caylyn said… - Thanks so much for the encouragement Leah! It is so humbling to me that others would be inspired by me. I've just been trying to work hard on being healthy, not getting it right all the time, but enough to lose some weight and make amazing changes in my life that are so worth it. And sometimes I need to remember and re-focus that it's worth it and what is important in my life. In the end, I choose health. And it encourages me that you have too!

- Leah,
Thanks so much for checking in on me. I just posted my results I did have a successful week - a few things I need to improve on but one of my best weeks in a long while. Let me know some of the things you are planning - I love to get ideas. I hope you are doing great and have an awesome weekend!
