Well, it has been awhile since I have been OP, and it's been awhile since I wrote anything on here. Much has happened in my life, and that is partially why I have been off program, and why I haven't updated.
I'm happy to report though, that I did maintain all that I lost!!! This is a HUGE accomplishment for me. If you read about me then you would see why this is such a big deal. Every time I have gone on a diet of any kind, when I go off -- I gain the weight all back and then some! Well I have NOT done that, and WILL NOT be gaining it back!!!!!
Now, I must set realistic goals, refocus, make a plan of action, and do it! Goal - my goal is to lose 10 lbs by my birthday (11/15/02). That will put me at 167, a number I can't remember the last time I saw. But, my first goal is going to be to get under 170.
How to stay motivated. I work at IU, with tons of pretty girls that barely wear clothes. That should be enough motivation, but it isn't. To keep motivated I must reward myself, and realize that I am doing this for ME....and no one else. This will be something I have wanted to accomplish since I was a pre-teen... I didn't go on to college, I have 2 failed marriages, this is ONE THING I CAN DO FOR MYSELF. I deserve it. I have enough willpower for it!!! (don't mind my coaching to myself :) ).
Please pray for me, that I do have the willpower, courage, and motivation to do this!!!! I know that I can, and I WILL!!!! One thing I'm going to start doing is write down EVERYTHING I eat. I have done this before...and it really does hold me accountable. I will post them up probably monthly, so please check back often!!!!
Here we go ~ |
