not perfect

I have learned something about myself….that I try to be to perfect and hard on myself when I am watching what I am eating. Today was not a great day for dieting and I have had to remind myself not to beat me up for not trying harder. I have lost 32 pounds in the last 3 months and should be proud of that, but today all I  could see was the scales going back up.

 I have calmed down now and decided that everday is not going to be perfect and that I am going to have days that I am not perfect with my dieting choices. However I know that I will make better choices tomorrow and get back on the horse. Everyone who reads this I hope that you have a great day!

I’m back

Sorry to all my friends…i had to have my internet turned off for several months, but now I am back and look forward to losing weight with y’all. It is good to be back!

discouragment

well I fixed myself good last night. I made a roast, mashed potatoes and carrots. not even a fruit. I also ate 2 slices of bread. I made too much food for just 2 people and we sat and ate the whole roast and potatoes. notice there were some carrots left. I went to bed last night feeling rotten. However I got up this morning with a new determination. I also have decided to cook only enough for the meal and not worry about left overs for the next day. My schedule is so full that it is nice to have leftovers to just reheat the next day,….but that has got to change. I am not strong enough yet to resist the temptation of food. Today will be a better day. The menu for this evening is fish, couscous, green beans  pears and 1 slice of bread with promise. I am excited again . Thanks to all my buddies out there who encourage me. Keep up the good work…I need it.

the first two weeks

I have been trying to stay on my diet for two weeks. I do okay for a while and then I goof up. Next week is a new week and I am going to try harder. My weigh in day is Monday. I want to be more consistent and I think talking with some of my buddies will be of great value to me. Thanks everyone for the encouragement and tips!
