Thursday: Thirteen Things I vow

1. I will not allow stress to affect my eating habits
2. I will not eat my little princess's leftovers (I am not a puppy to be eating tablescraps)
3. I will not allow money troubles to be my excuse to overeat.
4. I will eat all of my points
5. I will not eat more than my points
6. I will not obsess over the scales
7. I will not weigh myself fifteen times a day, this way lies obsession
8. I will not obsess over my food thinking about it all the time
9. I will get outside and get active
10. I will teach my little princess that food is fun and nothing to be scared of
11. I will teach my little princess to like vegetables
12. I will try to my food for Prince Charming and my little princess that is healthier, they deserve to be healthy too
13. I will be a healthier and happier me

Sounds great

You've motivated me to vow a little with you.  Let me know how you do, and I'll let you know

1. I will workout even if no one can go with me.

2. I will stay within my points (like you)

3. I will cook at home instead of eating out so much

4. I, too, will stop obsessing about food 24/7

Thanks.  You are quite an encouragement. 

I had to giggle

Every time I look at one of my kids plates now that has 3 goldfish or 1 small piece of cheese on it, I am going to tell myself, "you are not a puppy, you do not eat leftovers!"

Thanks for the reminder, I needed it.

#7 reminds me I vowed to put the scale away and only weigh myself once a week.  With all the water I'm drinking I'm spending a lot of time in the bathroom and I weigh myself everytime.  I'm going to do it right now.

Great Advice

but I also vow to love you when you fail and to help you get up and do what we know to do that will make us succeed. I quess I just don't want you to make too many promises to yourself, we are human afterall.. its about continuing not about being perfect.

Have a wonderful night,

Molly

Wow, you ARE an...

organization freak! Good for you! My family says I'm a control freak...but I think good planning is essential!  Great job! Keep it up. What a difference!

had to laugh

My little prince is my dog and I definately don't want his leftovers. LOL. He loves mine but he doesn't get them.

Seriously I love your list and I liked the article from your previous post. Gives you a different perspective and I think we can all use that.

Thanks for checking in on me.

Kate

Thanks for you comments on the pedometer!

Also, I hope you didn't get offended with my earlier post. I don't mean to be a downer or to discourage you. After reading everyone else's comments I realized that I might have been alittle "heavy"... every one else seemed to be inspired.

Sorry, not my intention.

list

I LOVE those items on your list.  I've stopped weighing myself every day.  Some days I even forget to weigh myself.  I do try to weigh every morning because it's helped me to see how my body reacts to certain things.  I just need that to be part of the ritual, but I've stopped placing so much energy on what the scale says, and now I just pay attention to those days where it fluctuates and what I can do differently to ensure a loss.  I still haven't figured it out, though!  Eat less, I suppose!  lol.  My arms are STILL sore from the training, but today they are a little better.  I'm planning on hitting the gym again this weekend and sweat off some sticky pounds!
