So, I have upped my speed and incline on the treadmill....I realized I wasn't breathing hard enough with what I was doing, and no wonder I wasn't losing any weight. So, we'll see if that helps at all. I have also decided to blog only when I have a weight loss, and to blog that only once a week, if it happens. I find blogging the gains, just makes me feel worse. So, this will be more positive. Thanks for your comment on my blog, and want you to know you are in my thoughts.

I chose COOKIES over A HEALTHY PREGNANCY. I forgot the importance of this battle, and why I cannot get complacent and lazy.<br />Just by writing it out and thinking about these things, you are doing something about them, though. We both need to develop a plan to deal with emotions in another way. I plan on writing this plan out, so that I can see it and implant it in my brain, so the next time I'm emotional or stressed, I can reach for my PLAN instead of CHOCOLATE!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10417973646691830257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-88213788131317110682010-01-22T22:46:07.877-05:002010-01-22T22:46:07.877-05:00Great post Tammy, I have a lot of respect for the ...Great post Tammy, I have a lot of respect for the way you don't quit, even with all the obstacles you mention.

Like Sean said, being honest with yourself and learning about how your emotions affect your eating habits is tremendous. Being aware of which things trigger our bad eating habits and learning new ways to cope with them, and implementing these new ways will make this weight loss permanent. You're doing great and well on your way to being Skinny Tammy! Looking forward to seeing her in a bathing suit this summer!<br /><br />Love, Mom O.maryjane2744https://www.blogger.com/profile/04224730926062115917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-44747794327009120772010-01-22T10:51:22.139-05:002010-01-22T10:51:22.139-05:00Hi Tammy,
I spent a lot of time reading this ...Hi Tammy,<br /> I spent a lot of time reading this post and I feel a lot of respect towards you for how true it is. Something starting blogging did for me was force me to be true to myself, force me to be accountable for my actions (which is why I blog my food and exercise since it is the best way for me to keep on track), and make myself stop romanticizing getting fit.<br /> It is so easy to sit there making a fool-proof plan yet it takes so much to actually go out and do it. I think a 40 lb loss is absolutely amazing, if you have lost 40 you MOST DEFINITELY can loose 60. You know the formula and you know what it takes. You talk about life importance which is something I just kind of realized a few weeks ago and it really does work though I understand that attitude is easy to loose. It helps to think of exercising as something as important as taking a shower or brushing your teeth, both of which are things we without a doubt make time to do everyday. When you simplify it in your mind, at least for me, it removes a lot of the stress associated with it.<br /> By the way I absolutely LOVED your comment about the cupcakes as I did want to shoot my roommate! Haha I actually laughed out loud at my desk at your comment!The Sweet Tooth Obliteration Operationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423474322153355523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-44006862274838437592010-01-22T08:12:13.023-05:002010-01-22T08:12:13.023-05:00Tammy, I just want to say I love reading your blog...Tammy, I just want to say I love reading your blog and miss it when you're away for a bit.

In order to sustain weight loss, our very being - our thoughts, attitudes, responses to life all have to change. You are changing. You are recognizing things in your life and working on them. <br /><br />I am a slow poke and getting something to you!!! I am notorious for putting things off...tonight...I'm ordering and having it sent!!

Up a few, down a few. 28 pounds off is great, but there is more work to do, and I'm trying to get the ooomph back to do it. It does help to know I'm not the only one who struggles, loses focus, and gets a sucky attitude. But it's time to regroup, recalibrate, and "move on down the road" again.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401609334253676307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654199466450477041.post-45616152830266600902010-01-21T04:43:09.316-05:002010-01-21T04:43:09.316-05:00What a wonderful post my friend.

Learning about ourselves in a bare bones, honest way---figuring out how we handle emotions and circumstances as it relates to food, and being able to tie it all back to our "importance level," well---that's more progress than some people make in a lifetime. I've always told you---You got this Tammy. And you do.

That totally just made me "HAPPY" Like, seriously happy! ;0) I don't know if everyone gets this excited, but it's my first little blog award, so it's a little special ;)<br /><br />I love everything you said. I think everybody has moments where they realize they need to regroup and refocus. To step it up a notch. I'm glad that you are deciding to do so. I too dream about that day when I will step on the scale, and there, looking back at me, will be my goal weight. I can only imagine what that is going to feel like! You too will get there, and at that very moment, it will all be worth it!<br /><br />xoxo:Deliciously Healthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472803678229207414noreply@blogger.com
