I saw this today as someone’s signature on the ww boards and laughed. It is such a good way to look at this.
“I don’t have a lot of weight to lose! I only need to lose 20 pounds… (7 more times). And it wont take very long at all! Only three months…(7 more times).”
This person started out about the same as me and is sitting at 278 pounds, not far off where I am. I’ve lost 75 pounds-people go holy toledo when they hear that. But, in reality, I still have 100 pounds to go. That makes me tired somedays.
I got really sick a few weeks ago and didn’t exercise. Then, I hit tom and it was the worst its been in a long, long time so I didn’t exercise but 1 day. My metabolism tanked and I kept eating like there was no tomorrow. It was bad and as my friend Mary said, maybe we sabatoge ourselves. Really? I cannot imagine that, why would we do that? I’m still thinking about it but I think it comes down to why I’m in the fat place to begin with. Instant gratification. I want it, I’m gonna have it, so I did and look at my ass!! But that mentality is hard to kick and after you have done good for a while you start to feel you deserve that pumpkin pie and the chinese food-not just a splurge once a week.
Losing weight is such a freakin’ mental game but I’m a smart girl, I’m up for the challenge of beating myself.
I’m sitting here imagining myself walking on the beach…everything is fixed that matters to me and I’m walking hand in hand with you. I’ve got on a sexy sundress and my toes are in the warm surf. I get checked out by people walking by and no where in my head do I think I’m not worthy of this great moment. Yep, I’m a hottie.
I don’t have a lot of weight to lose! I only need to lose 20 pounds… (5 more times). And it won’t take me very long at all! Only three months…(5 more times).
Ambitiously yours,
Jen
