This week has been really weird for me. The days seem to fly by, but at night I get discouraged, think about all the food I want to eat and can't, and then watch the clock hoping I can go to bed soon so I don't have to think about it anymore. I pretty much hate my day after 7pm. Then on the flip side, I wake up in the morning, I am not hungry, and I stay busy. The distractions of the day seem to help make this diet feel more like a positive change and not a restriction.
All in all, the diet is slowing down to about a pound a day and I think it is slowing my excitement, too. Not my determination, just my motivation. I know, I know. A pound a day is still good, but for some reason it doesn't feel like it. I find myself looking at the calendar thinking, "Ok, you can do this. Only 14 more days."
Lucky for me, it is morning, the sun is shining and I am, once again, in a more positive mood. Off to TJ Maxx - I just have to force myself to ignore the clothes section. Can I tell you how excited I am to be done with this just so I can buy some new clothes?!?!
Bek- Hang in there girl. Night's are hard for me too. Soak in the sun and go get some retail therapy! BTW I was at TJ today around 11.... great minds think alike! :)
ReplyDeleteHey.. ANYTHING is worth a trip to TJ Maxx! I will do this forever if it means I can go to TJ Maxx to occupy my time! I want to go walk today, and maybe throw a softball. Anyone in?
ReplyDeleteSorry... one more thing: Rebekah, just keep telling yourself what you are supposed to be telling yourself. Eventually you will believe it. A pound a day is fantastic. When is the last time you saw results like that?
ReplyDeleteTrue, true and true. And if you saw me throw a softball Tara you would never ask me to join you.
ReplyDeleteEven though the process seems slow and hard hopefully that will give us the determination and motivation to keep the weight off when we get off this diet! Maybe, that's what we need to learn right now, to appreciate this part and imprint it in my brain so I will never go back to this weight!!
ReplyDeleteIf someone told you 3 weeks ago you would be at the weight you are right now, what would you say?!! YOU ARE ROCKING IT REBEKAH!! Last I checked you were at the highest % lost....
