Denial will get me nowhere!

Posted on September 2, 2015

Oh no! Really! Is this possible? Yes Val, after avoiding the scale like death warmed over for months and months...you are at an historic MAXIMUM of 160.2 lbs this morning...and this is AFTER dieting without weighing yourself for two weeks!

OK, this is not good, in fact this is horrid news! However, the fact that I will NOT buy even bigger sized clothing finally got me back to reality (everything is oh soooo tight!) and, as a result, I am back to my old pal DIET BET. No guarantees, no miracles, no easy solutions...just day-by-day healthier choices...more veggies, less junk, more exercise...

Let's do this! Even though often "life gets in the way"...a happier fuller life is the real prize...whether or not we "win" our Diet Bets each month.

Even though I am swamped with work and have a trip to Mom's for 10 days, I am going to DO THIS and I hope that YOU will too!

Me neither! All we can do is just keep on trying and taking it day by day! It is a WOE or "way of eating" and not a diet at the end of the day!

I hate that happened - and, no doubt you have missed my mantra:) Go with intention, be mindful and drink the daggone stuff! It is a daily commitment and I have just come to realize that if I don't make that a daily affirmation ............... it gets away from me! I have faith you will get it turned around Val!

Great post! I can completely relate. I'm rooting for you to get back on track so you can put a "Sunny" instead of "Cloudy" card above the scale. ;)

Thanks for the encouragement ladies! You are what really makes Dietbet special! And lets blast off some lbs! Or at least take steps the right way day-by-day!

I am proud of you Valle for coming back to Diet Betting. It is tough to face the music. I gained back way more than you did however...I would be thrilled to only be at 160.2 lbs. 180 lbs keeps staring at me in the face. Together we can do this. And life certainly does get in the way. I've been busier now the past 8 months than I have been in the past 10 years. Staying focused is difficult but it's what we do day by day that counts. Welcome back!

Thanks for sharing Val.. Same thing happened to me. I relate to wanting to diet before facing the numbers! It feels so good though after I faced it, recommitted and vow to learn from it and stay w DB this time. Gailsey is right.. This is a 12 step group for some of us. Great post! Terri

Val, You can do this! You've already got a good start by getting your diet back on track for the last two weeks, and getting back on the scale. I know how hard that is! Don't dwell on the past, concentrate on doing the right things for your health and the body you want will surely come! Best wishes, Beth
