Well, I must say if what we want to be is the biggest loser, than I feel like the biggest winner. I went to the doctor yesterday just to find that my new scales are way off and that I am actually 10 pounds heavier than my last visit to the doctor. I put on my "fat jeans" just to find them snug. You'd think I would be motivated by this, but what I usually do is punish myself with self-soothin choc. and thoughts that go "all this work for nothing". I get so mad at myself for letting this happen--I hate my clothes because I can't wear them. I rotate 3 pairs of newly bought pants and all my shirts are snug. This affects me a lot and it really discourages me. I am just lamenting cause I feel so frustrated. Not to discourage you all, for I am encouraged when I read how you both are doing, but I was just jolted by the scales yesterday and now it makes sense why nothing fits. I refuse to buy new clothes to fit my bigger size, but feel frustrated that it takes so long to lose just one pound. and how do I feel good when I don't even feel right in what I am wearing? Especially since I have to stand in front of 120 students each day....
Alright, enough said....

Don't give up. Think of it this way: knowing doesn't change anything--you had already put on the weight but now you have the information that you need to do something about it. And, you can lose the weight in just two months by exercising and journaling--mathematically all you have to do is run a deficit of 600 calories per day. And, if you exercise you probably burn 2200 calories or so a day, and if you eat 1200 calories that's 1000. Have one square of dark chocolate and tomorrow is a new day.
PS You should calibrate your new scales to the dr.'s scales. You should also weigh with clothes since that's how you do it at the dr.s office--clothes can weigh 1 or 2 lbs.
Thanks for the encouragement. I really really had a low day--and well my aunt came for a visit today--thus the emotional bloating. :) This is what I needed. I knew this journaling would be good for me/us.
