What keeps you going?
| Mon, 05-24-2004 - 4:04pm |
I know that all of us have a moment of weakness every so often and I thought it might be a good idea to share what goes through our heads when we think about eating that cookie, or that macaroni and cheese or that cheeseburger. What do you do or think about to talk yourself out of it? Maybe we can use each others ideas to our own benefit.
For me, I think about how good it feels to WANT to get on the scale and see a change or how much better I will feel when I am not so tired all the time

For starters, I don't think about eating that cookie, or cheeseburger, or mac and cheese. If I want a cookie, I know how to make good low calorie, low fat ones. I never did like cheeseburgers, so that's not an issue. And as for mac and cheese, the Calorie Commando has a wonderful recipe for low calorie, low fat, and delicious mac and cheese. So if I want something I figure out a way how to make it a healthy choice. No problem. NONE!

I want to feel better, look better, shop at "normal" stores (and save money at the same time - plus sizes are expensive!), fit comfortably into seats (airplanes, movie theaters, booths at restaurants)... and my biggest one at the moment is I can't wait to see the looks on people's faces that I haven't seen in awhile. DH and I are going to visit my
in-laws for Thanksgiving, we only see them once a year. As an added bonus, my 10 year high school reunion is next year. I SHOULD be at goal at that point. I also made a list of mini-goals with dates of certain events (anniversary, holidays, etc). It helps me to visualize what I'm doing and be able to work towards something specific.
