Getting my head on straight again.

[Guest guest]

Hi ladies!

Well, I did great at the wedding, but not so well the days following.

I was really depressed after the whole " When are you due " thing that

I just wasn't thinking right. I didn't feel like eating at all at the

wedding (it was hot, I was depressed, and for once didn't turn to

food), but then the next day I was so hungry I blew it. Made one bad

decision after another. Then Monday I didn't have healthy choices

around me (long story, wound up changing plans and a lot of the food

I'd packed so carefully went bad), and even Tuesday and yesterday I

didn't do so well.

So last night I went back and found The Three Questions.

1. What do you want?

2. Why do you want it?

3. What are you willing to do to attain it?

I haven't had these thoughts foremost in my head lately, and I knew I

had to get back to the right place in my mind before I'd change the

string of bad days. So I got out a new journal, one separate from my

food/exercise log, and answered those questions in great detail. I

also wrote out how things are different now that I've lost 70+ pounds.

That helped so much. For the first time in about 2-3 months, I don't

feel like I could fall off any second and gain every pound back.

Today I feel SO much different than I have for the last couple months.

I feel like I did at the beginning--focused and ready to make the

right choices. I'm really proud of this because any other time I've

lost weight, I've given up at the first sign of a plateau. Despite

not losing much the last 3 months (partly my fault, partly true

plateau), I've hung in there. Now I'm ready to get serious again

Anyway, heading up to my mom's for two days, so hope you ladies are

having a great week!
