So far so good

So the scale was lower than before.  That's good, but for some reason I don't seem to depend on the scale anymore.  I used to weight myself everyday and look for a loss.  When my weight would fluctuate up or not at all I would become discouraged and feel a little down.  This time, I'm not so worried about the scale.  As you can see, I've weighed myself three times since July 5th. 

The next thing I wanna do is add in some exercise.  I have gotten myself in the frame of mind to eat the right things and very little of the wrong things.  Now I just need to motivate myself enough to start to exercise.  My husband has begun to exercise.  I just need a push.  I hate exercise.  It seems like it gets boring and repetitive.  FOCUS!!!  That's what I need.  I have to focus on the big picture...exercise will help get me to my goal faster.

And the eat goes on...

And so today I felt like I was famished...like I couldn't eat enough to be full.  And what do I do?  Go to the neighborhood where my favorite bakery is.  I bought cupcakes; mini cupcakes.  Usually I would devour all of them in 5 seconds.  This time was different.  I bought 6 cupcakes.  By the time I got home, there were 2.  I didn't eat them.  I gave them away.  Usually that would be hard, but not this time.  I only ate one and gave the other to my husband.  This new frame of mind is really good.  Even when I cheat, I'm still being good.

I like it this time around

So, what's different this time?  I keep trying to stay away from the scale.  Checking the scale all the time is really not a good thing.  It's funny how you make the right choices when you are really motivated to do so.  Everything I'm doing may not be extreme, but it's working for me this time.  Drinking plenty of water.  Eating smaller meals.  Eating healthier meals.  Now I just need to incorporate exercise.

Am I crazy????

I keep going through this.  I hate being overweight, but food is soooooo good!  I haven't held myself accountable for a long time.  I start trying to lose weight, but stop after a little success. 

I have taken on a new job.  Leaving little time for anything.  So, how do I think I'm going to eat right? 

Okay.  Here I go again.  This time will be the most successful.  I can feel it!
