| 03.30.05 (12:09 pm) [edit] |
Thanks so much to Natti, Sarah and Deb for your support... it really does help so much! :)
Well, I was a little out of control yesterday, and it felt awful. I always feel so powerless and weak when that happens... it's not a nice feeling at all! So as a way of regaining control I've promised myself I will track every little bite that I eat for the rest of the week... even if it means writing down that I've gone over my points... because oddly enough, once I confessed to you all what I'd eaten yesterday I felt much more in control. I think this is the key for me... because I pretty much always track until I leave work and have enough points left for dinner... but between getting home and going to bed I probably have twice as many points as I've allowed in snacks! Tracking is the answer I reckon.
I also typed up a couple of little 'signs' and stuck them around the house (Miles has yet to come home and see them... wonder if he'll notice? hehehe). Daggy, I know, but I really think they might help me!
This one is plastered on the kitchen cupboard we use as a pantry...
It reads: What do you want MORE? What you are about to eat or the sexy bikini you're buying next summer? You CAN do it!
This one is in the bathroom where I can read it every day...
It says: I commit to being the very best that I can be. I deserve to love, be loved and most importantly of all, to love myself. I deserve a healthy body and I will never give up on myself, no matter what happens, and I promise to do whatever it takes to make it happen. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. (This is the 'pledge' that AJ Rochester makes her readers take at the very start of their weight loss journey... thanks AJ!)
Anyway, I hope they work... at the moment I do a double take whenever I see them cos they look so weird! lol

what a great idea!!! see i know you can do it B because u are actively looking for solutions to your problems and working through them - i think weight loss can be a bit trial and error sometimes. What works for some folks isnt so good for others.
I love the idea of the notes around the house!
