Fluff's not-so-fluffy diary

Thanks everyone!! You have no idea how relieved I was to finally break that plateau. My worst fear now is that I will end up plateauing yet again!! Hopefully that won't happen for at least a little while!

Today was good......or at least it was until I bought my daughter popcorn while we were out shopping (yes, it was a bribe...but I really really needed to go to the store). I nibbled on the popcorn (if you can call eating handfuls at a time nibbling). Darn. I didn't intend to, but it was there, I was hungry, and it tasted good. I kept dinner very small since I indulged during the afternoon. I hope that evened things out a bit.

I was good and drank all my water, but I only walked on the treadmill once today. I just couldnt find the time before dinner, and after dinner I was just too tired. Excuses, I know! Darn again.

I tell you what the problem with dieting is....it takes too long!! lol. Call me impatient, but I am ready to be thin right now!

Oh well. I will keep trying. New goal for myself...avoid popcorn (especially when out shopping during normal lunch time! ) :)

Thanks for all the support!! Couldnt do it without all of you to inspire and encourage me through this whole (long, long, long) process! :)

Lol. The avatar does look like Peeps marshmallows Miss Jelly. I never thought about that before. :) I used to love Peeps when I was little, not so much anymore. So sugary. Give me a chocolate bunny over a marshmallow chick anytime. lol.
But they still seem to find a way to our house every Easter. :)
They make Peeps for every holiday now. We had snowman peeps at Christmas. They were pretty cute. :)

Hey Fluff! Thanks for stopping by my journal to check on me and for all your support. I am trying to catch up where we left off. I got a good laugh about prefering a chocolate bunny over the marshmallow chick. I can't eat the marshmallows either, too much sugar. Those things would always be the last to go when I'd get them. The chocolate went fast. lol I haven't seen any of the Christmas Snowman Peeps. How cute!
I hope you have a good weekend!
 
Oh my goodness, i am the worst at the patience. I am an instant gratification girl & weight loss is definitely NOT that way. it is frustrating but we are all working together and we'll all get to our goals...

Sounds like you are doing well. Keep it up.
 
Hey there Fluff,
The popcorn was a treat, and you deserved it! Just watch what you eat for the rest of the day and you'll be OK. I totally understand what you mean about being impatient. I think theres a little bit of that in all of us. But, nothing comes easy(there no easy button like the commercial :) )--and there's nothing wrong with a little hard work. It defines who we are?!? That's a motivational factor for me.
If I can say, "I DID IT!" --thats really special.

I like your new goal to avoid popcorn, lol.:) That shouldn't be so hard. I have to avoid whole fastfood restraunts!!!:eek: lol Just kidding.

You have a great weekend. Stay strong. I'll check back in on Monday!!!!!!Cabana
:p
 
hey Fluff,
I was just thinking about back in the day when I was in high school. And you know the type of freinds that make fun of others,I had some:eek: and I remember one time a freind said"look at her she's hella fat":mad: And another freind said"dude that wasn't nice, she's not fat ,she's fluffy. Sorry if that ofends anyone:( Just the names reminded me. glad I aint got those type of freinds anymore,who make fun of others. Well, have a good night and take care.
 
Hope Your Having A Great Weekend And I Am So Excited You Broke That Plateau Keep Up The Good Work!!
 
Hi everyone, thanks for checking in on me!! :) It always makes me smile to read your comments each day!

MissJelly - Glad to know I am not the only one who cant eat those Peeps. Too bad too, cause they are really cute. But the sugar makes my mouth pucker...just too much of it!! The snowman ones were cute too! Pretty smart of Peeps to start making them for all the holidays. More money for them I would think.

Skyler - I am probably one of the most impatient people in the world. I dont mean to be, I just am. That is probably, hands down, the hardest part of dieting for me. Waiting and waiting. But it is well worth it! Glad I have this place to come to so I can keep myself motivated! :)

Cabana - Avoiding popcorn shouldn't be a problem except for when I am at the movies. No way can I resist movie popcorn!! Fortunately we dont go to many movies, so at least that temptation wont arise too often! But you are right, much easier to avoid popcorn than fast food restraunts!! lol. I should be avoiding those as well!! I miss McDonalds fries....sigh.

Jelly - Yes, I remember the fluffy thing. There used to be a saying, I think it was on stickers and stuff that said something like ' Ewe's not fat, ewe's just fluffy'. lol. Funny, cause I didnt really think about that when I made this name. On yahoo (cause I play a word game on there alot) I made a screen name after one of my kids favorite stuffed animals. So when I came here, I wanted to make a different name, so I picked a name of another one of my kids favorite stuffed animals, which is Fluff. lol.

Redneckwoman -- Thanks for checking in on me! I love your posts cause you sound so motivated and full of energy! That is one of the things I struggle with most - just staying motivated. Thanks for keeping us energized and ready to go!


I am going to try real hard to stay good this weekend. I wont be able to get my exercise in today, because we won't be home all day. But I will at least be good with my eating, and hopefully tomorrow I will be able to get back on that treadmill.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!! Spring has sprung here, and it feels so good to be outside again! I will check back in tomorrow or Monday. :)
 
HI Fluff :D Hope your weekend went well and you were able to enjoy your nice spring weather enough for me (we just got snow!) :D Keep up the great work and I'll see ya later :)

Hey Girlfriend Its Magic Monday So Lets Rock Them Scales!!!!!!
 
It's Monday!
Did you survive the weekend?
This weekend was my turn to do the birthday cake thing. :p And I survived!
Just wanted to check in with you and see how things are going. We know how that pizza tempts you on the weekend:rolleyes:
Hope things are going well......................Cabana:eek:
 
hey girl hope your doing great we have to get them numbers moving sense you jumped that plateau lets rock them scales!!
 
Hey ya Fluffer-nutter :D Hope all is well in your world. Keep up the great work :D
 
Thanks all for checking in on me! :) Yep, survived another weekend! I must admit that it is getting easier. I don't feel as tempted as I used to. Dont get me wrong, there are times I still crave things like silly, but overall, I don't miss eating the old foods as much as I did when I first started dieting.

Today was my weigh in day, and.......<drum roll>..........I am officially out of the 170's! I weighed in this morning at 169!!! Woohoo! I haven't weighed in the 160's in years...so this is huge for me!!! And, for the first time since I started this back at Christmas, I am finally starting to believe that reaching my goal IS possible!

Just had to share my good news. It made my morning (will make my whole day I am sure! ). I couldnt do it without this forum!! :)

Ok, off to finish getting the kids ready for school. I will be back on this morning to check everyones diaries (its been a few days since I have been on so have some catching up to do) Have a great day everyone!!
 
Fantastic Fluff, that is AWESOME!! :D Congratulations!

I know exactly what you're talking about. I think we all have that certain weight that we were at once upon a time -- and sometimes we feel like we'll *never* be able to see ourselves at that weight again. Getting under 200 will be that mark for me. ;)

Great job Fluff! :)
 
Oh my gosh Fluff! That is amazing! I can only imagine how you are feeling!:D Isn't it euphoric!:)

You know you can do this! The proof is in the pudding! Look how far you've come! Dont ever doubt yourself, because, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! All you need to do is put your mind to it! (That's a nice little quote that my momma taught me:p )

Keep it up! There's no turning back now!
Have a wonderful day........................................Cabana :p
