I am trying to look at the big picture, and think about how I feel, not how I think I look, or what the scale says. Yeah, it's hard. Felicia - Thanks! Running can feel evil. Somedays is still does to me! I just try to keep going though ;) kapgar – My excuses just aren’t legitimate AT ALL. :(

I think it is neat that ya'll do that together :) I am still in the beginning running stages (read about 10 min before I want to die) but I am learning that it is not the evil creature I thought it was (just one of its distant cousins) LOL :) oh good luck with the training!!!

I keep telling myself this as well. ;-) There will always be excuses, just gotta power through them. I keep telling myself this as well. ;-)

When I was heavier I was feeling so awful, out of breath all that, and now I feel a ton better. When I eat too much, I feel like crap, so maybe I SHOULD just focus on my health FOR ONCE! FOR ONCE!!! marissa – You know what, until you wrote that, I hadn’t thought about how I’ve felt, health-wise.

Life is all about ebbs and flows, ups and downs. As long as your focus is on health, rather than weight, that will take so much pressure off of you. And I've found that disallowing myself to eat things makes me want to eat them even more. My goal is everything in moderation (though I know that's so much easier said than done). I just try to stay super active, so when I want to eat more than I should (veg out), I have an activity planned to keep my mind off the food. Doesn't always work, but most of the time it does! Also, the training will be GREAT! Will give you something else to focus on, and you'll be exercising at the same time. Perfect! Don’t be so hard on yourself.

We could reward ourselves with a vacation after our race! I am definitely bringing this up to Steven. It's so easy to beat ourselves up right? That only perpetuates the problem. I do think I am getting better about that. It's just hard work ;) Denise - Thanks so much for this comment. It is really lifting my spirits! That little side tracker may have moved up, but hello... it documents a huge loss (as in, "hello KIM hello!"). I need to focus on my progress and keeping it up. Thank you for reminding me of that in such a kind way. suze – I saw an add for some of the half-marathons in Canada and was interested! We could reward ourselves with a vacation after our race!

Minor set back. You realize what happened, you'll settle down and get back on track. You'll get there!! Look at how far you've come, don't dwell on mistakes. Learn from them. Weight loss and keeping it off is a constant challenge, for emotional eaters like us. Give yourself a huge pat on the back. You really are doing a great job!!! : ) HUGS,HUGS,HUGS. Minor set back.

That would give you enough time to train! - hint, hint :P Try to be kind to yourself - yes, you've gained, but you've recognized it and are taking steps to course correct. Beating yourself up just makes you feel worse and more like eating (easier said than done, I know...) Big hugs :) There’s a half at the end of May in Ottawa.

I can't pay x amount of dollars for a race then not go! Thanks - even though I am struggling now, I really have learned a lot about who I am. So hopefully, that will help me ... help myself! teeni – Having a solid, tangible goal always seems to help me achieve something! I can’t pay x amount of dollars for a race then not go!
