Just so you know

I think what I need to do is read my blog from start to finish because I think I used to be a lot smarter.

And tomorrow, TOMORROW I will eat what I should, no excuses, or die trying.

If you were me, I would tell you to GET IT TOGETHER, CHICK!

Mel,
I recently read your blog again from start to finish trying to figure out why you were so successful when now you struggle. I always seem to struggle.
2 years ago you were so determined with an attitude that was clear that you were sticking to your eating plan and exercise plan no matter what! Your determination was so clear. You never allowed yourself to make excuses. You were clearly happier with the weight loss than how the "forbidden" food would have tasted. And your exercise streak was incredible.
Mel - I know you can do it again!

YEAH - Get it together, chick. See, I just thought I would tell you what you would tell me if I was you. So there! Perhaps I will go back and read your blog from start to finish, too - I've never done that for anybody's blog. No, I am more the type to just jump on wherever I happen to come in - but perhaps reading backward might help get my ass motivated, too. Hmmm. Well - have a good day. And I'm holding you to this TOMORROW thing.

I'll tell you what I've told myself recently.

Life just gets more stressful, if you don't learn to deal with stress in a healthful way, you will end up too fat and too tired to be the soccer mom. You are going to disappear from the family album b/c you will be embarrassed to be photographed as a fatty. You will stand in the back for mandatory pictures even though you are short. You will hate your body and teach your girls to hate their bodies.

Too tired to work out? Tough, life is work so workout when you are tired. Too inconvenient to eat healthful food? Tough, you need fuel, not a friend that tastes like Nutty Coconut ice cream. Make choices. Live, eat and play with purpose. If you love God, love what He made. He made you.

(It helps to have a baby on board and three little ones who need a mamma regardless of HOW TIRED PREGNANCY MAKES YOU.)

I like this and I will be right there with you tomorrow eating the right thing. . .

I've rejoined weight watchers and it's been a really rough couple days, my inner 2 year old is stamping her foot and having a tantrum about journaling and calculating and my rational brain is trying to outsmart her. I can't figure out what it is about new habits that makes me give up and go back to the old even thought I know in the end I'll be a better person for the new habits.

Thanks for being so honest. I struggle like this myself. I think you are being too hard on yourself. Relax and try to go back to the centered place you were at. It always seems to come easier that way. (every time I ever did WW
I gained weight-just too repressive)
