…buy a bag of Robin Eggs and finish the entire thing in a 24-hour time period. And try to feel guilty about it but can’t, because they are just that good.
…forget to charge my iPod and a scheduled run turns into an unscheduled walk.
…stop tracking my food deliberately and feel completely out of control.
…realize how much tracking helps me stay accountable and, most of all, more in control of my body.
…experience anxiety on weeks when I’m not working as hard as I need to be at this weight loss thing, worrying I will never be able to control myself and always be labeled as fat.
…get annoyed by the perfectionists in my Weight Watchers meetings.
…think the best part of my week is after weigh-in, when I get to eat whatever I want and not worry about points values.
…experience major exercise guilt, either from not working out or not working out as hard as I wanted to.
…think about quitting soda cold turkey, but I know I would be miserable.
…get really jealous of others’ weight loss successes.
…make a really good, healthy choice over a really bad, unhealthy choice and feel completely satisfied and proud of myself.
…forget how good an early morning workout feels. I wish I could do that every day.
…think I have a really bad week and will never see successful weight loss…and end up losing more weight than I thought I could.
Congrats on the weight loss! Just remember there will be some super awesome weeks, others not so much. And that's ok! We can't all be healthy all of the time (and honestly, it's not all that much fun to be healthy all of the time). I think you're totally rocking the weight loss and the fact that you're sticking with it? I'm super proud (And impressed, as I'm bad at things like this/that).
I've kicked the soda habit… it can be done. Just get passed the first few days of headaches and you'll be totally fine. You can do it! =)
Ugh I think that your soda habit is like my coffee habit. Headaches galore when you try to quit. Maybe one day I will quit coffee…
I need to get up earlier. SO MUCH EARLIER. To work out. I have the time, if only I could find the drive to GET UP. Even 7:30 would do me wonders…
(I want some Robin's Eggs…)

all i have to say, girl? me, too! even though i'm really close to goal, i still have these days (weeks) i feel like i'll never get there *sigh* today is one of those days, but i'm hoping tomorrow is better
Yay! Great job on the weightloss!!!
I hear your about the iPod. I hate, hate, hate when that happens.
I am testing something! (replying to your email right now…) ;P
I know if I quit coffee cold turkey I'd probably DIE. Baby steps, hehe.
First off- do you live in St. Pete?? Because that's where I was born and raised until I was 9– I have family still down there! 🙂
Second off- you are doing amazing on your weight loss, congratulations!! And how you feel about Robin Eggs… I am with pretty much every kind of candy. *shame*
The perfectionists are only perfectionist in public…they freak out too behind closed doors. Keep up the good work.
I love this post and your honesty. I can relate to all of those things! Especially how good I feel on the rare occasion I make a healthier choice over the less-healthier one! 🙂
You had a great week! Well done! It's such a long process, though. I remember the feelings that you have. I thought I was never going to get to goal. And I had alot of ups and downs along the way. And I was the girl who cried at meetings a couple of times. So i totally know how you feel. But if you keep at it, you WILL get to your goal. Of that, I am sure!
And really, we all have our off weeks!
