Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen things I vow in regards to my weightloss:

I will not give up and decide halfway is good enough
I will remain proud of myself and my accomplishments
I will NOT snack on my little princess's leftovers
I will NOT be influenced by Prince Charming and the Little Princess's food
I will NOT obsess about this to the degree that I get unhealthy
I will NOT start to do crazy things in pursuit of short term success
I will remember that I am worth buying the food I need to be a healthier me
I will remember that I am doing this for the feeling I get when I look in the mirror and not for anyone else
I will not teach my daughter to hate her body
I will be proud of me and all my accomplishments
I will NOT decide that my diet is over and now I can go back to my other way of eating
I will realize that weight control is a lifelong problem that I have had and I will always have to be thinking about it
I will NOT let my weight, whatever it may be, define my selfworth.
Prince Charming told me today that he thought I looked amazing. He said he was proud of me and if he were to guess what I weighed he would have thought about 20 lbs lighter. woohoo. That is so nice to hear.

Better and Back at it

Today is a better day. I am feeling much better after having had the flu yesteday. The upside is that I lost a little weight as of this morning. You have to look for silver linings around these clouds of sickness, you know.

I am heading down to 200 lbs. I am going to cut back my WW points now as I will have to in a few pounds and I may as well get used to it now. I look on these point cuts as milestones. Although you have no idea how much I will party when I finally break 200 lbs!

Giving this a shot

I like the idea of a place to discuss my weightloss. Today I am sick and I know that I haven't been eating enough. I am struggling to eat enough to get me through the day. In my weightloss journey I have to struggle to walk a line between eating enough and not eating too much. In the past, my weight loss efforts were aimed at losing the most i can as quickly as I can and I wasn't able to maintain it. Now, I am looking to do this long term. Lets see how this goes.
