The Road to Success

This is the one I'm on, since I lost 2.2 lbs this past week...OH YEAH baby.  Oh, and I got my monthly gift today and I'm bloated as hell, so I'm telling myself next week will be even more successfully, once I'm not retaining a kiddie pool full of water.

I think I'm getting that hang of this record what you eat thing, and the importance of it, even though sometimes I kind of resent it.  Like when I walk down the chips aisle to grab some diet soda.  Yeah, I stop and gaze at kettle cooked potato chips like they're an old lover I broke it off with...after all, they kind of are.  We may be able to get together again someday, but I'm still not strong enough to be trusted in that abusive relationship. 

The most valuable thing I took away from my meeting today, was a negative nelly, sitting next to me was complaining about having to write down and calculate everything she ate, pissing and moaning about it really.  She then asked the meeting leader how she can stand doing it after all of these years, and this is what she said...

"Because I'd rather write down and calculate everything I eat than crying in a dressing room ever again." 

This resonated with me, because, honestly, as lame as it sounds, I have cried countless times in dressing rooms.  So ashamed by my reflection, so sad that I couldn't wear the cute outfit I found because it wasn't in my size, or just looked ridiculous on my over weight body. 
Wasn't it Oprah who once said, "Nothing tastes better than being skinny"?  I think she may be right.

Tomorrows goals:

Stay within my daily points
Earn extra ones by working out (just in case I want to get a little wild this weekend ;)
Try really hard to admire the reflection in the mirror.  This is the hardest one.

Lots of love to you ladies.  I truly couldn't do this with out you.  You're all so amazing.
