Amanda's Diary

Ok well I'm going to try to get things going again. I'm coming back here but I'm not going to post my meals yet. I'm still working on some things. But even if I'm having problems myself, I would atleast like to offer my support to the rest of you. I hope everyone is doing well. Hang in there!

PS Korrie, you can do it girl! Thanks for the e-mails :)

And thank you everyone for looking for me and missing me! I missed you all! God Bless You!
 
Hi sweetie, glad your back!
 
Hey thank's for the support :) glad to see your back and working on somethings, sounds like you have many friends here for you :)
 
Thanks so much everyone for the support! Ok well I'm on my way to a renewed sense of motivation. I'm going to do some research and hopefully get myself back on track. I was doing so well, why I would ever want to go back to the way I was is beyond me. I know I can do this. I can win this war. You guys are all so awesome and without each of you I definitely would have given up for good. This nice weather is helping to get me more active. I went to the batting cages 3 times last week. lol :) I even asked Greg to go for a run with me lol but of course he said no (it was worth a try).

Anyway! I'm trying and things can only get better now. I feel it...I'm coming back girls and I'm going to do it. Watch out, Amanda is on her way!
 
Hey girl! *hugs* hehe yep I'm back (sorry for leaving!) :) I don't know but I'm feeling so peppy today! It's Monday, and I'm peppy? HA! Regardless, I'm going to get this ball rolling. It might be a slow roll, but roll none the less. :) How are you doing?
 
hey, a slow roll is better than no roll. I'm on a slow roll myself. In fact I am almost at a stop! We'll get back on track in no time. I know how hard it is when there is just so much other smack going on in your life.
 
taking it slow is definately the way to go... you have to let yourself re-adjust.. i think that might be part of the reason atkins and alot of other diets and such fail is that it is such a sudden change and we aren't ready for it. But if we ease ourselves into this new lifestyle and really take the time to realize how important each thing we do is... it will make all the difference in the world =)

I'm glad to see you back, and we are here for you! if you need a little push on that ball to keep it rolling now and then, you know where to look =)
 
A rolling stone gathers no moss, no matter how slow it's rolling. Glad to see you got your motivation back! I was so sad to suddenly be losing integral team players!
 
Welcome "back" to me! VENTING

Thanks so much girls, for those sweet words! Time to get back to this. No more excuses, no more "tomorrows." Tomorrow is never promised, so I have to start this TODAY!

If I mess up I'm going to do my best to just keep on going the next day. Lately I've just had this horrible mentality. I've just been so passive. It's like if I mess up one day I just keep on messing up because in my mind I feel doomed and like ah well I already screwed up. I can't do that! I know it.

Why is it that we know what we need, but it's so hard to accomplish it? Everything that everyone has said has been true. There are so many reasons to make a change like this, yet at times just that one reason to NOT do it, seems to be enough. Why is that? Well all I know is I'm not letting anything stand in my way. I know now that it will be a rough road. I know that I'm going to hit some bumps along the way. I now have a more realistic look as to what this new change is going to require.

I can't say thank you enough to all of you girls. I KNOW that without you all I would have given up for good. I wrote myself a letter, and I'm going to put pictures up all around my apartment. I'm also going to post up words. (as silly as it sounds...cut outs of words like "MOTIVATION" "HAPPINESS" "ENERGY" "HARD WORK" "LIFE" etc.)

I feel really bad because I know how it felt when we lost other people that I was counting on. I know you ladies won't hate me but I really do want to apologize for running out on you, and myself. Regardless...I'm here now. I feel like I've got things in order now. I hope everyone else is doing fantastic...wish me luck! God Bless!
 
Yes! Amanda we are all back together now, we can do it!!

I completly understand how you feel in your post! You have alot of support here so please check with us when you are having a down day (yes i'll do the same) Also, don't worry about sounding silly (which you don't) do whatever it takes to loose the weight.

Yes life has set backs,..and lets face it we have a life time to take off and maintain our weight,.so a week out of service is no big deal as long as we get back in the game.

Nothing like team work,..you all keep me inspired and thanks for those words in my diary!
