Starting over yet again!

Well, here I am again starting over for the umpteenth time in as many years.  At the recommendation of my dear friend Janet, we five Amigas are going to do our best to end the year with a bang - and also with some pounds lost!

I know I want and NEED to be serious about this journey, but sometimes it's just easier to say the heck with it and eat what I want.  I've done it before several years ago so I know how good it felt to look great and feel great.

So - what's stopping me???

What IS stopping you and ALL of us????

That's an excellent question.  I think sometimes we are our ownworst enemies when it comes to weight loss.  I've always believed it is an "inside" job ... that losing weight is all about what's in our head.  So, I guess the short and simple answer is that we aren't in the right mindset.  As you said, sometimes you just want to say what the heck and eat what you want.  And I guess there is nothing inherently wrong with that.  Except that that mindset doesn't seem to pair go along well with also wanting to lose weight.  But I am not about deprivation and I think that, in moderation, you still should have what you want.  I always say, this is REAL LIFE, and for me, REAL LIFE will include chocolate cake and ice cream for my birthday and other periodic treats, too, as I cannot see demonizing any food and making it completely off limits.  Okay, I could ramble on and on here, but we all know what's what and what we need to do.  Don't guilt youself come what may as that does more harm than good.  Just be human and do the best you can and youwill be a success as we all will.  AND REMEMBER >>> we alll want to look GREAT for mine and Jim's wedding!!!!!!!!!!  So this old gal is gonna work her tookus off to meet him, seal the deal and get the plans underway for our wedding ... hahahahahahaha!!!  HE is PERFECT for me and this pesky weight will NOT stand in my way!!!!
