Go with what you know.
I had a bit of an epiphany last night. It took some old photo albums and a beer in my hand, but it slammed me hard in my thick, stubborn head.
Do what worked for you the first time.
I was having a much needed “Kelly” night last night…stayed in my pj’s all day…put up Easter/St. Patty’s decorations….did an artsy project…then looked through a photo album from my 24th birthday….October 2004.
I had just hit my 100lb weight loss mark…and I was about 225lbs. I sat on the floor last night staring at these pictures of myself…God I looked good!! Even at 225, I looked awesome!! And now, here I am….1/2 from where I started….ugh.
I’m not going to dwell. I’m going to use those pictures as motivators to really focus. I’m done with excuses. I’m done with trying every fad diet I read in the new Woman’s World magazine on Sunday afternoon. I’m done cheating, and trying to find a way to justify it. I’m just done.
I’m going to do what worked for me the first time…and give it my all. It wasn’t easy the first time…and God knows it wasn’t overnight.
But it worked.
And will work again.
Duh.
=)
Have a great week folks!

THATS AWESOME!!! im in the same exact place you are! you should be very proud of yourself!!!
just take one day at a time, and all of those days will add up and you will be EXACTLY where you wanna be!!
You had that moment that Oprah talks about. That moment when the light shines so bright you can’t ignore it. That’s a good place to be in.
Now stop cheating yourself. That food isn’t really that great, is it? Well, maybe for a minute. Back to the struggle…. sure you can do it again!! Thinking of you this week. Take care and be your own beloved. Marge
You should get a picture of you at your lowest weight, and put it up in a place that you look at everyday (like a mirror, or on a door) so you can remind yourself everyday of what your goal is. Good luck!
I know what ya feel like. And I don’t envy you. I’m about 5 hours from Chicago and I think some days if I had the time I’d drive the 5 hours just to eat a piece of Chicago pizza. But here’s a thought..I’ll race ya to 225 ha! I think we’re about the same weight and that is my first mini goal. We can get there together.
