About Me:

Total weight loss ticker Highest weight - 267 start weight - 267 (10/09) current weight 226.8 LOSS - 40.2 Jackson's Challenge Ticker start weight 262 (11/13/09) current weight 226.8 LOSS 35.2 St Paddy's Day Challenge Fri 2/13 - Tues 3/17 I lost 8.4 of the 10.2 I was shooting for. It's all good! Valentine's Day Challenge Mon 1/12 - Fri 2/13 - weigh ins on Fridays I lost 7.4 lbs out of the 12 I was shooting for. Hospital and surgery stifled my chances but such is life. Here is what MY success looks like 19 weeks on TDP Weeks I have lost weight 15 Weeks I have stayed the same 2 Weeks I have gained 2 *** I have lost 10% of my body weight! *** FAVORITE QUOTE There is a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses - only results! I am a 52 yr old woman who has struggled with my weight my entire life. On and off many different diets/programs - faltering motivation - and denial of how my weight has affected my health. On a new path - a healthful journey - working to lose 100 lbs + one day at a time. Using TDP to help me track, keep me honest. Using a health coach to assist in my progress. Trying to work the tools available and plan more, eat healthier, drink more water, sleep more, take my meds appropriately and regularly, exercise more, and all in all become healthier to live longer and stronger! Jackson's 100 lb challenge in 1 year!

September 9th, 2009
Today, I feel... not as scared! I guess it didnt take as long to come back. And it hasn't all been bad eating - I've made some good choices. Not as much random eating.

I guess the thing that scares me the most is that somehow I got the idea that I did it once, so I could do it anytime so why not start tomorrow? This is "stinkin thinkin" for me as tomorrow just doesn't seem to come. And now, with much of the weight back - (fix my profile another time) I feel - like I've just been in a fog and just let myself be falsely confident.

For today, I'm here!

Well, Today does count and I'm glad to see you making the effort with your healthier lifestyle journey Judy! This process does occasionally have those larger steps back...but I know you'll be able to keep them going forward for your health! Keep up the positive thinking and I hope to see more tomorrow!

JOYFULNESS ,
Joyfulness is an inner sense of peace and happiness. You appreciate the gifts each day brings. Joy can carry us through the hard times even when we are feeling very sad. Joy gives us wings.

Things won are done; joy's soul lies in the doing ~William Shakespeare

Have "JOY IN YOUR JOURNEY"

So glad to see you again!

From teacher12:
That is what makes this disease so insidious. It woos us into thinking we have it made only to bring us to our knees once again. The only advantage I have over some of you younger ones is that I have been brought to my knees more times than you have. I think you now know how important it is that we remain humble and respectful of this disease. For some it is a few pounds; for us it is our health and our life itself. You have learned; no one could do that for you. You had to feel the feelings. Feel the dispair. Feel the fear. Now you are ready to do this and you WILL do it. We have to do it. Your daughter needs you. Glad you are back. Sorry for being so preachy. You will be FINE. Just stay here!

You are back where you belong. As you get back in the habit of tracking, you will begin to feel less alone and less scared, Judy. Remember, we love you.
From 1love:
8-20 OMG your back thank GOD! We have missed you and our prayers have been answer. All the love and support is sill here for you Judy. Take it one day and keep tracking. Many of us fell off and some made goal.But we are all in this together. I have had my share of up's and down's. But i'm here with my 40 lbs loss and proud of it.
I learn to forgive myself for not being where I wanted to be but to work on it the right way. Slow and steady wins the race. I'm glad your back and hope you never leave again. Welcome back JUDY!!!! ((((HUGS))))))

I'm convinced 100-calorie packs are the path to ruin because they come at least 6 to a box - they are 600-calorie packs in my mind......

I hope to see you tracking and sharing your progress soon...we are all behind you! Have a super day!

Mood: Frustrated
Today, I feel... Frustrated. In no particular order I know I have ....

* been gone a long time.
* neglected friends and their concern for me has been overhwelming.
* never been so scared as I have been on a spiral downward and caught up in a whirlwind of insanity and denial.
*been feeling ashamed and too proud to come back and start fresh.
*been scared that if I couldnt do it then, why do I feel I can do it now?
*gained back almost half of what I lost
*experienced the depths again in terms of binging and lying and stealing and cheating to get the food I wanted
*made a change in my hours at work to afford me a few hours in the morning to take care of me (more time to eat the right breakfast, make lunch, and hopefully exercise)
*come to the conclusion that it really doesnt make a difference if I have more time or not - if my mind is still controlled by my obsession - but it's a step taken in the right direction to take control back.
*playing russian roulette with my health and am back to having high sugar and I'm certain (although not sure because I wont go to the doctor) that the rest of the bloodwork is shot.
*in tears many times that I have not taken advantage of my friends support and thinking pridefully that no one can ever help
*feeling helpless, hopeless and sick and tired
*disappointing my family and myself especially in that I thought I had gained so much strength and confidence I could DO this
*giving up and that is not like me.
*not committed and allowed the stress of the job, and life, get me.
*going through a difficult passage in my life (daughter growing up/moving out/feeling lonely/stressed etc) and allowed it to slip me back into a need to anesthetize my life
*afraid to come on and log anything - afraid to "start again" .. afraid to "fail again"..

Awareness is a good thing but the fear is HUGE that I won't make it back.

Thanks for listening, for being here - always, and for helping me admit to where I've been, and where I am. Not sure where I'm going or how I'm going to get there but I know being here is key.

Oh, Judy, I have so been there! I have played with 10 pounds now for two months, but I know this is where I have to stay if there is ever to be hope for me. I just kept hoping that if I kept logging my food (of course, not ALL of it because then everybody would KNOW I was eating insanely) something would click and I would be back on track. So far, I've had four good days. Let's get back on track together . . . OK?
From 1love:
Judy what can i say, I feel you. I can't seem to shake this 230-235 sprial effect for the past 5 months. But like you said if your mind is not right it won't work.If we keep letting the same things effect us reason why we eat the wrong stuff then whom are we to blame. I have change my goal three times from Easter to July. Now I just set it for my anniversay of starting this diet 9-02-09. That gives me enought time to get my mind right and do this for me and nobody else. I'm glad your back and still trying. I so missed you. ((hugs)))
5-2 Glad to see you are here with friends. You were missed greatly. Hope that you are able to continue to make time for yourself.

Above all, don’t live with regrets. Approach life with perseverance and dedication to the things that matter most to you. Success is never easy. It remains up to you whether you will give up, or fight through the tough battles to earn whatever it is you want.

A fragment of a poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson is telling:

"Finish each day
And be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and
Absurdities have crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can."

Move on with your life. Keep reaching for your goals and you will achieve them.

HUGS!!!
Most, if not all of us, have felt this way. Take it one day at a time. Maybe you felt like giving up yesterday but today is a NEW day. And so is tomorrow ... : )
From teacher12:
You made my day! I am so glad you are back.
Sooooo glad to see you back with us where you belong. We're here for you when you're ready. Today is a new day and don't be ashamed, you're human and so are all of we. We've all gone through what you're going through. It's a very difficult journey and it will take a long time but in the end, we'll all be better, healthier, sexier, stronger and just all around better. We're here for you any time. So glad to see you tracking again and back with us :)
From AZKate:
And it's two steps forward, one step back, girlfriend! I have fallen so many times - just head back in the right direction and you'll get there eventually. The alternative is languishing in the zone of hopelessness - you KNOW you don't want to stay there! It's so much more fun to have a day of good choices and feel proud! And you can do that - just take it one day at a time
From teacher12:
6/3: Make time for yourself. I know it is hard but you are worth it.
I wrote a whole long thing to you and then Livestrong went down and it would not post!! I am busy, busy but never too busy for you so I will recreate the message when I can. Do what you can. Ease back in. Let me know what's on your mind and trust that NO ONE is judging you. We are all the same. We fight the same insidious disease. The one that says we have it made. The one that tells us we are hopeless and destined to be fat our entire lives. The one that says one bite won't hurt. The one that says that we had one bite and blew it so we may as well eat the whole thing. It is crazy. But we are here for each other and you CAN do it. You know you can. Hang in there. I need you!!!!!!!!!!
From craiprc:
6-3 Leave the zone of hopelessness and come back to the light! ALL of your friends are here with open arms.
From Earthgem:
Judy, never give up! I've been there, as well as probably most who are fighting weight-loss. It's not my imagination when I'm the bottomless pit...there's no shut-off mechanism saying I'm full until it's to the extreme. I started my journey in earnest in September, however, prior to that I was making efforts to make it stick. That included binges well over 10,000 plus calories. However, every day I'd commit to my journey, saying the past is the past. I would write down everything, my full binge calories and slowly reduced them, that meant 5,000, 3000 etc calories. We aren't here to judge you, many of us know what that's like when others think you are doing this to yourself on purpose, they've not got a clue. Take time for yourself, this is for yourself...not us...we are here to support your efforts and days...even the less than optimum ones! Hang in there! Track! It helps you to focus and stay focused! WE ARE WELL WORTH IT, YOU ARE WELL WORTH IT! Have a super day!
From tondea:
6/5 Hope you have a good weekend, Judy!
From teacher12:
Thinking of you.
From teacher12:
6/6: What are you waiting for? You know we are here waiting for you. Come on down! Join back in. No regrets. No embarassment. It is all in YOUR head -- not ours-- you would be here for me in the same circumstances,-- you know that,-- and we love you and miss you. Jump back in.
From tondea:
6/7 Hi, Judy! Hope you are doing better.
From Rhin99:
6/8/09: Judy, just now saw that you came back on 6/1...but now you're missing again, (6/8). We are all here to help you and support you (totally non-judging)! Come back! You can and WILL win this battle!
From AZKate:
6/10... lighting a new candle
From tondea:
6/10 We are NOT giving up on you, Judy. Don't give up on yourself! You CAN do this. Remember when I was in a funk, you helped me get back on track. Let us help you!
From Earthgem:
06-11-2009 Good morning Judy! I hope your day is off to a good start! It's a little early so I'll check back to see if you had the chance to post and how things are going.
From tondea:
6/12 Look at all your friends posting here, waiting to help you. This whole site is a "you scratch my back, I'll scratch your back" place. You help me when I'm having a tough time, I help you when you are. Don't isolate, Judy! Come back to us. You are missed and loved.
From teacher12:
I know the fear about not making it back. Remember when I cautioned about feeling like we have it made when we are doing well? This disease is insidious. It gets harder than hard when life brings challenges. I know your daughter going off into the world is a HUGE adjustment for you but you can take care of yourself. Do it for your daughter. She needs you to be around as the happy, healthy Judy. You will be back and read this vigil of love we are sending you. And you will be fine. You are finding your way. No guilt. No giving up. We are here to support each other. You can do it. You are just discovering how hard this can be but how much you want the results.
From tondea:
6/14 Judy, we miss you -- I miss you! Please come back to us. You were such a guiding light and inspiration to us all. You have such insights. None of this has changed. I understand the fear and shame, but no one but you is blaming and the fear is easier to bear in a group.
From teacher12:
6/15: Thinking of you. I know you are coming back to us. I can't wait for your return! We will have lots to catch up on.
From 1love:
6-17 So you gave up,you threw the towel in?????? Your not a quitter or a loser . Come back come back Judy comeback. PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEE!!!

From Earthgem:
06-17-2009 (Wednesday) Hi Judy! I thought today was going to be a total washout with the rain and overcast skies, however, I see a glimmer of sunshine and the rain has held off. I wanted to check on you, to see how things are going. I'm looking forward to being in the garden a little, even if I'll get some muddy. There's some things around the house that I need to attend to also...so I'm glad the day is picking up. I managed to get in a lot of exercise today, I've been slacking up on it a little but no real harm, was as easy as when I was doing it daily. Keep up your spirits. I hope you have a terrific day!
From tondea:
6/17 I know you are not a quitter, and you know that you feel better when you are tracking your food and exercising -- remember Zumba? Come on, Judy, do it for your health!
From Earthgem:
06-22-2009 (Monday) It's finally summer Judy! We are starting to see the warmer temperatures, however, the late evenings and early mornings are still a little too cool to me. We've begun to harvest a little from the garden, so have some of the visitors to the garden, especially with the strawberries ha ha. Of course, we have a late planting season, so we are still adding to the garden and these should be ready in late fall, if no early frost or snow. I hope things are going good for you with your healthier journey. Things are just plugging away for me, I'm a little bloated from medications but that's expected, choice between suffering allergies that act like the flu or weight loss...I pick the medications with extra efforts and acceptance of what I can't change. I hope you have a super Monday!
From teacher12:
6/25: I am hoping that maybe you just decided to take a month off. June 1 was the last I heard from you. Maybe we will see you on July 1? Hope so!
From AZKate:
I was just going to say the EXACT same thing Susan just did - this is really scary! See you soon!
From Earthgem:
06-30-2009 (Tuesday) Good morning Judy! It's hard to believe it is already the end of June. I hope you had a good month with your healthier lifestyle journey and I look forward to your future progress. Have a super day!
From teacher12:
6/30: Tomorrow will be one month since last hearing from you and I am praying that you are coming back. Make my day, Judy! I miss you. We all miss you.
From teacher12:
Missing you! 7-2
From Earthgem:
07-02-2009 (Thursday) It's already July...I hope you have a fantastic day and rest of the week Judy.
From craiprc:

From AZKate:

From teacher12:

From Earthgem:
07-08-2009 (Wednesday) Another great day of life to fill...I hope things are going well Judy.
From 1love:

From tondea:
7/08 I just started water aerobics, Judy, and I am actually starting to like it! Can you believe it? I wish you would return my calls or start posting again. I loved sharing with you.
From Earthgem:
07-14-2009 Hello Judy - it's already mid-July and summer is chugging along. I hope things are going good for you with your healthier lifestyle journey. Hang in there!
From Earthgem:
07-20-2009 I hope things were good for you over the weekend Judy. It was pretty pleasant around here for the most part, nice weather on Sunday. Keep up the positive efforts and thinking and you'll be where you want in good time Judy with your healthier lifestyle journey. Looking forward to seeing you track again online and finding out what the latest is on your progress. I hope you have a terrific Monday and rest of the week!
From Earthgem:
07-22-2009 (Wednesday) Midweek and closing in on the end of the month, time seems to go by very fast. I hope things are going good today for you and that you are doing well with your healthier journey. Keep up the positive efforts and thinking!
From AZKate:
7/24 missing you....... And I ate crap all day but know I don't have to tomorrow. Either do you... we both know how to do this WHEN we want to! Please want to again! Susan and I miss you...we are only the two amigos now.....

Hurray!!! She's making like Schwarzenegger! Welcome back, Judy! You've been missed!
4-3 Just popped by to say Hi! Love to see you back. You are so missed.
From Earthgem:
It's so great to see you online again Judy! I hope things improve for you, I've been tired, ill and the list goes on but I'm still going strong with the healthier journey. Your food list looks great so far and I hope to keep up on your progress with your healthier journey. I hope you have a super day and week!

05-04-2009 Hi Judy - Dreary day here with lots of rain, as usual...I'm going to try to get a lot of indoor exercises in - would love to boost up my workouts but with this cold/allergy it just makes breathing uncomfortable. I hope you are doing well and hope to see you tracking online again soon. Let us know how you are doing, we are here for you! Have a super day!

05-14-2009 It was finally a decent day here in Southwestern Pennsylvania...well, no rain but it looked like it was going to. I enjoyed a hike yesterday in spite of my allergies and other ailments. My mysterious weight-gain is back but not so mysterious this time around, so I'm just going to go with the flow, I know it will balance out when the fat cells stop filling first and the additonal water-weight is gone. Keep up the excellent efforts Judy and I hope to see you tracking again soon online and updating us on your progress. I hope you have a super day!

From Earthgem:
05-22-2009 How's it going Judy. I hope you are doing well offline, continuing to track, eat healthy and to get plenty of exercise, especially stress relieving, calorie burning exercise like walks. This week was a rough one for me, I had what I thought were only allergies but it may have been a combination of a virus/flu and allergies. I still managed to take pleasure walks to keep up with my physical routine. I've been working a lot in the garden and it's coming a long fine. The best part about it is that I'm a much thinner person this year and so the bending, climbing and working are more manageable. It's like a major boost for me. Well, I hope to see you tracking again soon, as well as your progress. Keep up the positive efforts and thinking and I hope you have a really great Friday!

Mood: Content
Today, I feel... content with my choices yesterday and a bit of a weight off my shoulders as my boss announced some changes which will take place on Tuesday of next week. We are cutting my workload IN HALF! I will still be very busy - but not so crazy I can't breathe. This is GOOD. I can't wait and at least these next few days I will have the knowledge that help is on the way!

Thanks for the notes and support. I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel. It's all good.

Oh, I'm so happy there's some relief in sight for you!!! It is great that your boss recognizes & values you enough to make those changes! Yay!

Glad they're cutting your workload in half, that will make life easier for you. Have a good weekend.
From tondea:
Thank heavens! We are the type of people who always are willing to take on more than we can chew and then push ourselves to keep up the pace, but our personal goals end up in the gutter in the meantime! I am so glad that your boss has decided to split your workload. Now maybe you can get back to Zumba, which you love, and the group who misses you and your insights so much!
From EMTSuzyQ:
very good news that you had at work....and I'm glad that there is light at the end of the tunnel. On that note, I gotta head down the tax tunnel now!
Glad to hear things may lighten up soon. Hope you enjoy the next few days. Happy Easter!

We are still experiencing some cooler temperatures but definitely nothing like the coldest of winter. I worked out on the treadmill today rather than go for a walk. I may add to my exercise today with weights and aerobics. Well, keep up your wonderful efforts and attitude. WE CAN AND ARE SUCCEEDING...persistence is our succees!

From Earthgem:
04-23-2009 (Thursday) - I hope things are going good for you today Judy! I had a pretty big lunch but it was my usual but I feel stuffed.

Mood: Tired
Today, I feel...consistently tired. I made the decision to up my calories until I get through this phase. It is keeping me on track at least - but I still hate being this tired, having this stress. I swear I'm trying to be gentle on myself - get through another day of not too many difficult choices -

Thanks to all of you for your support and encouragement. I read every word. I go back often and re-read. I am here but not all here? I know you understand!

From Rhin99:
Yes, we understand! Just the fact that you come on here and put your feelings in writing and track your food is SUPER-beneficial to your success!
Hope you have a good day! Sending positive vibes your way.
From thorgrant:
It's all good! Try not be so yourself.
From EMTSuzyQ:
You should be kind to yourself. Don't sweat the small stuff that you can't control! Hope you have a good day today!
From tondea:
Oh, Judy, I am sending you hugs! I wish I could help in some more substantial way. I can feel your distress in your postings. Hang in there, Judy! I am sending positive vibes and prayers winging to you!

Mood: Okay
Today, I feel... okay. Yesterday was a step in the right direction although not perfect. Today I feel a bit stronger. Forgive me friends while I stay a bit selfish and focused. Trying to find my balance on this life's journey. Sometimes we need to go all the way in one direction before we can go in the other again.

From Earthgem:
I hope you are finding a lot of success with your healthier journey Judy. You have to do what you have to do to ensure you stay on track and sometimes it takes a lot self-focus. Great job on your tracking and I hope you have a really good day today!
From AZKate:
Just get a plan, you know how it works. The next binge time will be lesser, and then the next one even more moderate. You are doing this - it just isn't a linear process!
From Rhin99:
Kate said it perfectly: it isn't a linear process. You're doing great and just do whatever you need to do!!
Take some time to give yourself a pat on the back for all your accomplishments. Then you can exhale and smile at your progress, not this detour you took due to a pile up of stress on the way to the healthiest you. Take all the YOU time to find your compass and redirect toward your goals. I hope you have an awesome day!
From tondea:
Getting back on track is hard to do after we have been binging for a while. I feel for you, Judy! You are a strong woman, and I know you will succeed with your plan. Take care of you!
From thorgrant:
We are here for you!

Mood: Hungover
Today, I feel... like I'm hungover. It was a binge week. That evil monkey found the way into my life through a stress crack I allowed to grow and grow and grow. No amount of support and encouragement from friends here who understand it could help me mend the crack. Only I can do it. ONE SMALL GOOD CHOICE AT A TIME.

OK, so, I've had a good breakfast. I will check back at lunch and let you know I've had a good lunch and so on. ONE SMALL SUCCESS at a time. That's how I put it together and I will do it again. ON Track today. Mending the crack. My finger in the dam. A gain of ... wait.. my brain is foggy from the food ... let me get my calculator ..ok, yes, that's it .. a gain of 4.2 lbs. I am at 231. Let me fix my profile and say that I am no longer in the 220s and at end of day will report that I have 1 day on track!

To all my friends - I am NOT beating myself up - I am just being honest and open with you and myself which has always been difficult for me (as you can see by the fact that I didn't post for much of the week). I hibernate - it's a long standing LIFE habit. I do not wish to hibernate any longer.

From Rhin99:
Hey, I had one of those weekends, too! Good for you for getting back on track!
From EMTSuzyQ:
We've all been there and honestly, taking ownership of this week is important. Nobody made it you do it but you can either look at it as a horrible thing that happened to you and wallow in the pity or you can use it as a glimpse of how you used to live and learn from it. When I have those moments and find myself elbow deep in chips or mozzarella sticks I just think of how bad I'm going to feel later and then when later comes and I do feel bad I just think about how to avoid going there again! You've got the tools, put them to use. Own the gains so you can also own the losses. i'm proud of you for breaking free of the monkey's hold!
From tondea:
I understand the hibernating! It is what it is, Judy! Let it go and start from today! "The moving finger writes, and having writ moves on . . ." You are a winner, and we CAN do this!
