Here's the good news - we are 1/2 way done!!
Here's the bad news - we are only 1/2 way done...
The lesson for me today is to find the glass half full. Instead of thinking about the bad, like what I can't eat or do (drink wine, go out to eat)I am choosing to think about the good, like what I can do! (wear smaller clothes, be more active with the kiddies,) It is helping me tremendously to have a better attitude and not flip out on my family. I am so PMS-y and would die for chocolate right now. I feared I might end up on the news in some surveillance camera footage shoplifting chocolate Easter bunnies last night. I had a a pity party for myself and then a little chat and decided that all of this sacrifice we are making is worth it. I have made it this far, I am not giving up. And besides, we are 1/2 way done. See I am positive!! Plus I really need a pedicure!
I hope you are all finding your ways to stay motivated and on task. I know the main reason I made it this far is b/c of all of you!
Tina... I TOTALLY agree with you! The only reason I have lasted this long is because you all and this blog. Seriously... I had two pieces (SMALL) of chocolate in my hand. I was reading the calories/fat/carbs/sugars debating which one would be OK to have... guess what? I put them both down. I slammed a glass of lemon water and am making a sweet cup of coffee..and turned to the blog.. It is fun to go back and read the past posts!
ReplyDeleteAnd we are 1/2 way already? What the crap? I actually think it has gone by pretty fast. This diet has actually consumed more time than I thought it would, and that has shortened my days a little.
Thank you for being encouraging and positive.. but, sorry to break it to you.. I am winning the pedi.
Tara - being the nice friend that I am, I will let you come with me when I get my pedicure!! haha
ReplyDeleteI'm dragging you all along for my massage!Massage was in the prize bucket too right, when we lose all our weight. Way to go, Chicas!
ReplyDeleteTina, your post is SO true. Half glass full - I need to keep telling myself that. Today I had to stop and tell myself to look back at how far I've come instead of looking forward at how far I have to go. I think we are so used to being told to leave the past in the past that in situations like a diet we forget to celebrate the past and how we fought our way out of it.
