No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!
Almost three months
That's right! Three months. Tonight is weigh-in and I feel pretty optimistic. I would really love to see the 150's before Jan. 1. It's been over a year since I've been in that weight range, you know? So sick of the 160's. Let's move on already ...
What I find at this point in the process is that I don't really worry about falling off plan anymore. I don't think about what I can't have. I simply say, "I want that. Maybe soon I'll budget the points and eat it. But not today."
I weigh myself everyday so I no longer freak out about the fluctuating numbers. I think my only problem remains to be enjoying how far I've come and liking the body I have right now. Instead I tend to look down the road a month or two or three and visualize how much better I'll look then - and I'd like to get away from that completely. I mean, yes, I'll get there but shouldn't I be enjoying where I am, how I got here? Does that make sense.
My daughter looked at me yesterday after I picked her up from daycare and said, "Oh mommy, sooooo pretty," and just hugged me and it reminded me that I should work on thinking the same thing. Somehow knowing that I'm beautiful to her makes me want to believe it more myself.

I look okay in my clothes but when in the fitting room trying on clothes I can see my body and get down on myself, wishing I had lost more already or wondering how I will look at 150. I should be happy and proud of how far I have come already.

With your can-do attitute and good self image you'll break out of the 160s and into the fabulous 150s. I, myself, am sooo close to getting into the 160s. You move on out and make a place for me, okay? LOL
