Happy Loseday!  It feels like Monday to me because J had the day off yesterday, so I'm having a little trouble with my mental calendar.  I checked though, and it's definitely Loseday. 


So, what do you want to lose today?  I think I have to say stress.  I know stress can slow down weight loss, so I have to find a way to let it goooooooooooooooo!


My plans for the day include paperwork (no stress there, LOL), cleaning, errands, etc.  It's rainy here, but much cooler, so I can live with a little rain!


Have a happy Loseday Tuesday!

Good morning buddies.

I have a lot of things that I need to lose, starting today.

#1 - Way, way, way less drinking of alcohol. I have been drinking WAY too much, almost every night for a very long time and not only is that not heathy for me, it leads to eating without care. Domino's has been a good friend of ours, and that's one relationship I will not be sorry to lose.

#2 - Negative self image and self worth. I cannot get it through my head that my weight does NOT dictate my self worth. I put too much on what that number is and let it dictate my mood and way of life for the day. That number leads to depression, which leads to drinking, which leads to over eating. It's a vicious cycle, and I need to lose it.

#3 - Negativity around me. I need to surround myself with positive, good people. I cannot get sucked into bad situations.

#4 - Stress. I stress out about things WAY TOO MUCH! Spilled pancake powder mix on the floor cleans up. The kids are kids and let them be kids. They will grow up too fast. If your house it clean it means you didn't love enough or play enough with your kids. I need to spend more time with them and less time stressing about meaningless things.

#5 - I need to lose my anger towards my DH. He didn't put the food in my mouth, I did. Sure, I am mad at myself and project it on him and blame him, but ultimately, it is MY fault I gained the weight back. I need to take control for myself and not let any one else take that from me.

Oh buddies, there is so much more, but I don't want to sit here and type it all out. Just know that yes, I have a lot to needs to be lost.

Anyway, now that THAT list is done, LOL...the kids both have colds. Not real bad, just a cough and runny nose. Just enough to make them whiny, and that drives me insane. But, I am the Mommy and I make things better for them, so that makes me feel good. I love my kids so much...and I want what is best for them, and that includes a happy, healthy Mommy!






Fighting my way back to me!

I am so proud of you for all the self-examination that went into writing that post, and I am so glad you're back.

I think a negative self-attitude is a great thing to lose.
