Thank you Cate & LaMa!
It’s not always easy for sure!

I completely forgot I had a 4 day weekend so I’m off till Tuesday woo Hooo! Got a mani/pedi today!!

Ill be back on Tuesday, hope everyone has a great weekend! I’ll check diaries when I get back!
❤️
 
Wow, it's extra great that you and your daughter are doing this together then! Losing weight while dealing with depression and anxiety must be so hard. I hope exercise is a part of her health routine so it will help the depression and anxiety, too. I agree with LaMa about taking good care of yourself. It's so hard being a caretaker, especially an emotional caretaker, even if it is very rewarding.

I hope you can show or tell your partner how hard you work during the week so they respect how hard it is if they are inadvertently somewhat undoing your weight loss from the week. I'm sure their intention isn't to do that, but I would probably explicitly but gently point out how what they are doing makes things harder.

Hope you have a lovely Easter break!

Hi All!
Yeah, I ate way too much over my long weekend!
We had the family over, and there were bowls of tart jelly beans and chocolate eggs, and chips and dip before dinner....
Yikes!!

Back on track today!!

It's been the hardest thing ever - and most rewarding (most of the time!) ;)

I don't think I will say anything - I just have to learn to incorporate it in to my life in a way that works with controlling my weight.
So much of what we do revolves around what & where we eat. My goal is to figure out a way to make it work and it's why I'm so strict/diligent when we are not together!
:)
 
I didn't buy any eggs this year, therefore we didn't consume any. It hasn't stopped me feeling as though I had, unfortunately. I am not getting on the scales until we get home from our holiday.

I've had too many chocolate the past two days and well and I really need to stop it today even though they're still there!

Not buying it is a good start! I'm really good with dark chocolate, I can have one or two small bites, feel indulgent and satisfied.
Put milk chocolate in front of me and I lose all ability to STOP until gone lol!

I tell myself that I enjoyed and that now I'm done.
We have the sugard/tart jelly bellies on the coffee table in a bowl...last night I had a quiet little conversation with them that I enjoyed them, I'm glad they were there when I could have them and now we're though...

What's funny, is that after that, I wasn't even tempted.
Of course, I ate the little milk chocolate eggs until those were gone before my weekend was over so I wouldn't have to torture myself looking at them.

We do keep a bowl of small, clementine oranges on the coffee table, they're bright looking and will satisfy my sweet tooth.
I don't eat them every day, down to maybe two a week, but they're there if the sweet tooth hits!
 
I didn't touch the eggs anymore either! Thankfully I can have unlimited fruit. And my mom made rhubarb preserve yesterday, which is just great over Greek yogurt.
 
Oh, I miss rhubarb so much. I need to plant it again when my raised beds are in!! I have unsweetened chocolate and fake natural sugar for the times I get chocolate cravings. Thank goodness that exists, or I would seriously raid my daughter's sweets bin!
 
I need to remind myself that I need to check in regularly - especially when I'm struggling!
I went up after Easter, and have had a really hard time getting back on track. The bit I gained (4lbs) is coming off but I know I do better when I'm focused!

So...recommitting to the next 5 pounds :)

I'll check diaries tomorrow!
 
Oh, sorry M! I went up 5 pounds, so let's be strong together and get back on track! I'll think of you and stick to my fast and calories and hopefully you can think of me and have a plan for what works for you? Hugs! - the other M!!

I've decided I do want to commit to a weight loss goal after all: 2kg until the end of May. Can I join in the M pact even though I'm only sort of an M? :)

YES!! You absolutely can join!

I was better yesterday and today I finally feel back on track - I have to stop by the grocery store today and I'm sticking to the PLAN.

E and I are going out to dinner Monday night, so tomorrow, I'll scope the menu to see what would be the healthiest choice.... :)
Preplanning, really helps me!
 
Great! I want to get back to my low weight by the end of the month. So I'll go weigh myself and see what that means pounds-wise! LaMa, you are a middle M, so no need to even ask if you can be in the M pact!

I am going to cut out the fake sugar for a while and be sure to get aerobic exercise at least a couple times a week, even if only skip roping in the living room! M2M, I like how you plan in for splurging on some foods that are more fattening and how you take things slowly and keep going. I think that is what I need to do with the last stubborn pounds (well, they have all been stubborn, it's just that I got really tired of having to be ultra strict for so long!) Anyway, I know we can all do this, and I'm really happy about the M pact!!
 
Hello? M2M? Are you still around? We haven't met, but I've enjoyed dipping into your diary, and would love to know how things are going now. :)
 
not assuming the worst, i've recently thought about leaving some internet 'housekeeping' in my will. i often see the post of "what ever happened to..." in forums i frequent and where few if any know me personally. of course, here .... a goal-based forum ... it's easy to think up less dramatic reasons why someone might become MIA.
