Hope everyone is doing okay today. Its looking like rain and actually is already raining, yay! we've been in a drought for a while.

Nothing that new here with me. I'm just feeling a little disappointed in myself for slacking from my usual 1 day a week treat day, its somehow gone into 2 days and sometimes 3 so now my jeans have become more snug! I know this is a very trivial thing to be thinking about compared to other life issues but its just on my mind right now. It really seems so silly and insignificant to give control to these type thoughts but I have to try and find whats underneath them because I know that its not just about the weight.

I'm off to go play some racquetball in a little bit.

I haven't weighed myself in over a week, and I have indulged EVERY night with some ice cream with chocolate syrup, and then I beat myself up for eating it.  I tell myself that I won't eat ice cream again, and then there I am with a bowl of it.  I feel like such a failure when I "let myself go".  I am getting back in that rut where I don't eat a lot for the entire day and then am famished by bedtime and just eat like there's no tomorrow.
I am actually afraid to weigh.  I know that sounds weird, but I don't think I can deal with any weight gain without going overboard.  I am just trying to keep myself OFF of the scales.  
It is utterly CRAZY that I look for discipline, or gratitude, or comfort...whatever it is that I seem to search for...in a number on a bathroom scale.
Hang in there Kimmie...I totally understand what you are dealing with, and I wich there was some medication we could take to make this madness go away.  It's taken too much of my life already, and I refuse to let that happen again, but I am tired of the daily battle with myself.

Oh my goodness, thats exactly the way I feel. I'll tell myself that I know exactly what I need to do in order to stay feeling light and my best and that having that many treat days is definitely not gonna do it! So, I'll tell myself over and over in my head that we just can't be doing that, no ice cream, and I sound so adamant and strict about it like I cannot be swayed but then find myself the next hour or so with a bowl of ice cream complete with nuts/choc. syrup, and oh yeah it feels really good at that moment I'm eating it and I sweep the guilt about it under the rug but then the next morning I feel like a total loser!
I never have liked going by the scales because I know I have a good amount of muscle mass and bigger bones and usually tend to collect excess water so I always just go by how my clothes feel. Sometimes I obsess terribly if my jeans feel just a little snug in areas and then by the middle of the day they're somehow loose which always tells me it was more about water retention than anything else,then I start to feel dumb about obsessing so unneedlessly.
