I like to think that I am an intelligent woman. I have a college degree, a good job and common sense......but why is it that I must obsess about my weight constantly and berate myself if after only three days of not overeating that I've only lost two pounds?????  Where is the common sense in THAT???

Logically I know that it's taken me years to put this weight on and NOW I'm expecting myself to take it off faster than lightening????? Sometimes I really aggravate the crap out of myself....gggrr

OK, end rant.

So today is a bit better, I'm still stuffed up but my tummy is OK.  I had not the best brekkie (coffee and a chunk of cheddar cheese...my appetite is not really there yet), but a nice lunch of Curry Chicken & Veggie Roti and a few pretzels for a snack.  2 litres of water so far and one diet Crush with Splenda.

My body is not up to exercise yet as I'm still very weak and tired from the flu but I'm hoping by tomorrow or Thursday to get on the treadmill for at least 20 mins.

Not much else to report other than I really need to be kinder to myself this year.

Cheers,

Tracy

Honey, 2 pound in 3 days is actually very fast!!  You're doing sooo well.  And yes, you are an intelligent, courageous and beautiful woman... a woman who is making a lifestyle change --- what's your hurry??  Remember, it won't be OVER when you get there, right?? :)

Girl, you are doing great.  This journey does not have an end.  So there's really nothing to race to.  Enjoy the ride.  Learn as much as you can.  Try some new foods. 

That being said, I think all of us, at least a little bit... want to be at goal YESTERDAY!

It is so easy to get frustrated when things don't happen as quickly as we would like them to. Just hang in there and have faith that all of the hard work you are doing will release those pounds. And yes, be kind to yourself!! You deserve it. You are an awesome person!!
