Okay?So the good news is today is my OFFICIAL anniversary with BuddySlim?I have been on here THREE months to the date?WOO HOO!!
rn
rn
Happy Anniversary to me!
rn
rn
Truly?It doesn?t feel like it?s been that long!
rn
rn
The bad news is like most of you (From what I have read) I have struggled BIG time this week?Not sure why, but I have been super hungry all week?
rn
rn
I am blaming it on the holidays and on my dog?Just because I blame everything on my dog Annabell, and well, it wouldn?t be right to stop now!
rn
rn
I do not anticipate a loss this week?And will be happy if I stay the same. I HAVE continued to exercise, but the eating?Man?Its been tough?I am not even a big sweet eater, but I do confess to eating more then one spoonful of cookie dough as I was baking last night?
rn
rn
Man?
rn

On thinking it over though, tonight, I really don?t feel THAT bad?Well, kinda, but not TOO bad?I mean, this is the worst week I have had in a long long time?And in talking to you guys and my buddy Scott, I know that others are in the same boat this week?So at least I am not alone, right??? For the first time in a long time, I am surrounded by folks who get it?That?s kinda cool?
rn
rn
Anyway?I am weighing in tomorrow, but I expect (And deserve) the worst?But that?s okay?I just want to make it through the weekend?Get these holidays over, and get back on track?
rn
rn
And on the BRIGHT side (Yes, she ALWAYS tries to point that out!) At this time last year I had gained over 10 holiday pounds?And that did NOT happen this year, so I am good with that!
rn
rn
I may be up a pound according to today?s mini weigh in?And that?s MUCH better then 10!!!!
rn
rn
I hope you all have a TRULY wonderful holiday, no matter which one it is you are celebrating, or who with, or where?

You know Dawnie, I took another look at your ticker and wow, you sure have come a long way!! And you know, your struggles right now speak to the heart of what I have been saying these last two days…some days, weeks and/or months will be easy, and others will be tough, like this week for most of us. The important thing is that we don’t eat with abandon and even when we do, we are semi-conscious of what we are doing. That’s progress, don’t you agree?
Congratulations on your buddyslim anniversary, you sure play a major role in this site and the success of its members! God bless you Dawnie!
congrats on the anniversary your doing so so well…and the others are right you are such an integral part of buddyslim it wont be the same without you! Thanks for all you do x
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW I AM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU. I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE HOLIDAYS TO BE OVER WITH AND JAN 1…..I WILL HAVE TO GO FULL FORCE AHEAD AND GET THIS THING DONE WITH.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I AM STILL HOLDING AT THAT 1 POUND GAIN…..NEXT WEEK DOESN’T LOOK MUCH BETTER W/ FAMILY CELEBRATIONS AND ALL.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND MERRY CHRISTMAS
Quite insightful, as usual!!
Three months, huh? Seems like you’ve been here longer than that!
Well, one good thing about us going to the Casino Christmas, and eating Christmas dinner there, I won’t be so tempted by all those traditional holiday goodies. I just need to get past the middle of January and I’ll be ok.
It wouldn’t be BuddySlim without you Dawnie! We all are struggling, and this too shall pass. Enjoy the holidays, we’ll deal with the fall out later.
Your buddy Scott managed to get his scale back to a maintain this week somehow some way.. Not a good week for me either.. We’ll do better after the holidays.. Just hang on as best you can and you are right at least we aren’t packing on the pounds like other years!!
Hey, for you it’s been a pre-holiday week. For me it’s been a COUPLE months….and a 6 lbs gain. Now, doesn’t that make you feel better….because if it doesn’t…..I’m gonna be asking myself….why did you just acknowledge that?!?!?!?!
I totally agree this has been a very hard week… but I’m really glad to hear that your surviving very well. A one lb gain isn’t bad at all. You’ve come far and your doing great. I hope you have a merry christmas!
I think the theme for this week is to try to not gain any weight.
Sounds like your on board!
Next week we’ll go back to loosing…
happy anniversary
Congrats on being a member on this site - you always have insightful blogs that remind buddies of their own experiences. Here’s to another three months and we will ALL hang in there and start to see the scale move again in the right direction!
Dawn, try looking at your weigh in this week as a number vs. where you were last year at this time. Then instead of saying that you’re up a pounds since last week, you can be down X pounds since last year! Much more motivating and great positive reinforcement. Have a fabulous holiday!
Why’s it always the dogs fault?
