Finally the new computer makes sense. Spent the day on the phone with the Internet provider trying to get my email address to work. Bought a sexy new office chair - was getting a sore ass sitting on my kitchen chair playing Scrabble online late at night. I couldn't be happier with the computer though - took a while to get used to the system, but I would recommend a MAC to anyone and everyone thinking about it.
I am scared, embarrassed, freaking out about weighing in on Monday morning. I have been in denial for the last couple of weeks. I kept saying "just one more bad meal, tomorrow it will be different..." - that was 2 weeks ago. Grrr. I am angry at myself, but really glad that I have all of you folks to fall back on. I know that the majority of us had problems thru the holidays - so I know that I am not the only one that is discouraged.

Yeah, a lot of us had/have that same problem, the important thing is that you're going for that weigh in.
Awww... don't feel bad, Christine. You are human... and we all fall off the wagon from time to time. I not only had a horrible holiday season... I've had a horrible time of it since mid-October. But that's in the past... for both of us.
I stepped on the scale Dec. 31st and weighed my highest weight EVER! Yeah, it totally freaked me out... but I decided right then and there that I would NEVER see that number again. And you can do the same if you don't like the number that you see on Monday. We're going to move on... and we're going to lose major weight this year. :)
Despite my best intentions, I didn't maintain through the holidays, though it's not catastrophic. Maybe a four pound gain is what I should just "allow" myself, rather than freaking out, 'cuz that's what I did.
I'm back working at my weight, though I made a turkey today, and I can't resist eating the scraps while I'm carving it up. *sigh* Old habits die hard.
Just weigh in, don't let it overwhelm you, and get going. :-)
No worries!! We are all here for you. I have been bouncing between the same 2 numbers for almost 2 weeks and no matter how much I dread it that darn weigh in on Monday is coming and I just know its not going to be ah inspiring *sigh* BUT thats part of the process! We are all going to make it. One pound at a time, on foot firmly planted in front of the other.
Hang in there!
*huggles*

You're right - most of us DID have a hard time this past month. But that's behind us now!
I am just glad that you are still here. As long as you don't give up, you will make it. We all have our own timeline tha we follow. We have all had times where we put off being good. I have found that having someone in my life to tell me to get off my arse or not to eat that really makes the difference. I can't do it on my own.
Like Chubby Chick, I had my highest weight ever on 12/31. I had to shake off the disappointment and do something about it. Maybe getting on the scale may be the kick that you need.
Hang in there, girl!!
Not to worry! I've been using my "Tomorrow's a New Day" mantra too... Don't forget you had the flu...lol that is an easy weight loss!
Thanks for the comments on my hair! Lol still unsure about it, but kinda stuck with it now!
That's exciting about the Mac. Mac's look so cool!! Glad to hear you're having fun with it!
Well, we know its not all that bad. So you gained 2, 5 or maybe even 10 lbs. The important thing is that you acknowledge what you've been doing wrong and you get back on track. Do it now before you gain even more weight and get lost in the hopeless mind game of "I'll start tomorrow!".
Your right, we are all here for you to lean on. None of us are here to judge you. Lord knows we are busy enough judging ourselves! LOL ... You can do this!!
I had a huge problem over the holidays but I've accepted it and am moving on....you can do the same!!!
its just the start of something good rightnow!
Have a good weekend!
Love my Mac too.
Good thing the "holidays" only happen hardcore once a year.
Glad you got the computer figured out.
Jump on that scale, Girl! It's probably not as bad as you think. I was scared too but sucked it up on Tuesday and that got me back on track.
I totally know the feeling! I have been doing that with my eating as well! I just hate getting in that rutt, because it is so hard to get out. But once we get out of it we are going to kick ass!
Wishing you all the best for Monday.. Don't be afraid.. whatever it is, it is.. That's why you've joined the challenge.. to work your way down each week. This is just your first week!
I haven't heard from Shannon yet and have left her blog comments too..but I see she's been sick, so I guess she's catching up with correspondence.
