Still, I suffer between convenience and how mad my stomach becomes when I feed it processed junk "diet" food (I type this as I lick the last of the sauce from the meager portion of my Smart ones Three Cheese Ziti Marinara container).
I recently read "Finally Thin" by Kim Bensen, and her story of losing 200 pounds in 2 years on Weight Watchers. The first part of the book is her story, while in the second she attempts to motivate me to lose weight myself. So far, I'm not motivated by anything but the fact that she lost 200 pounds, and even though I only need to lose 50, I still find that number overwhelming. 50 pounds. Bla.
In any event, the only reason I'm even wasting internet space with this is because one of Kim's tips is to "journal" about your weight loss efforts. So, yeah, this is a start.
You can do it! That's annoying, I know. I'm trying to stay motivated to run a couple times a week but can't seem to find the time or make the time. :(
ReplyDeleteKerith, I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. Things that may help: start pulling up pictures of people that you admire weight-wise. Or write names down of people you know/work with/are friends with who really have got it together in the weight and fitness department. Think positive. Like, THIS is where I want to be. And think T H I N. Suck in your stomach when you feel hungry and remember how it used to feel when you had a skinny stomach. Cross your legs and sit up straight and feel confident that what you are doing is becoming thin and sexy and beautiful. Focus on the positive. And the positive is that you are becoming more and more sexy every day. That Mikey is going to have a hottie mom from now on.
ReplyDeleteAt least that's what I try to do.
