So, I was up 1.8 lbs at this morning's weigh in. Still down 2.4 from the beginning of May, but blargh. I keep losing & gaining the same 4 lbs. I suck.
I was away all weekend, on a shopping trip with a friend and her mom. While I was able to find summer pants (and only one top, which I'm sure someone will figure is a maternity top. great...), I was still somewhat depressed by the experience. I wrote this in my other (protected) blog...
"I should be happy with the purchases I did make, but I still find shopping a downer. Usually I can't find anything that fits. If/when I do find things, I don't like the number on the tag. So, what do I do about that? Well, I don't get out and do things so that the weight will come off, and the smaller clothes will fit me (again, let's face it, I'm a yo-yo), I eat because I'm down. UGH. Such an emotional eater. Not really sure how to overcome that, but I really need to. And like soon."
Apparently US sizing is effed up, and that explains some, but seriously. The numbers/sizing on this side of the border aren't any better. It's got to end, but I don't know how/what will finally make me break the cycle.

This is what I've come to realize: the motivation needs to come from within. Until you know that you want to make the change for you, the yo-yo impression will continue.
Though, honestly, if J would get on board with you, I think you'd have less opportunity for self-sabotage.
i hear you about the spouses being on board.
it's mondo hard for me to stay on Plan when S is chowing down on cookies, chips, and beer. :(
Getting J on board would help you soooo much. I can't say that enough. Having Adam on board with me (look what HE achieved!!!) was paramount in getting me as far as I've come so far. Having each other to be accountable to makes decisions easier. When you're craving something you have someone there to talk you down from it. Likewise for them. It makes grocery shopping a breeze because you are both consciously deciding what goes in your shopping cart and if you try to sneak something in, someone IS watching! That's one key to success, not putting anything in the cart or having anything in your cupboard that should not be there...remove them! You're just setting yourself up for defeat/failure. Talk to J. Let him know how important it would be for him to be on this journey with you. Your best chances are going to be with you being healthy and that's reason enough right there for him to be supportive and walking right beside you the whole way.
