Emotional

A wise person once told me that unless you are happy with yourself as you are, you will never be happy thin. I just get disgusted with myself sometimes when I go shopping and there are all these cute little clothes that I cannot fit into because I won't get off my butt and do something to try to. Everytime I see my belly and it jiggles it makes me sick. My husband says he loves me the way that I am and I appreciate that, but after I had my daughter it had been 6 months and I said I feel so fat. He told me oh honey you are not fat until it has been a year and you still haven't lost the weight. Well here we are almost 4 years later. I am just ready to be healthy again. Sometimes I feel as if I have an eating disorder. It's like I can eat and eat and not feel full. So just because I do not feel full I feel I should eat more. I am really trying to work on that.

Just the begining

My goal for tomorrow is walk the stairs at work 3 times, Drink a minimum of 5 12 ounce glasses of water.My goal for this week is do at least 3 hard days of working out.My goal for this month is to be 10 pounds lighter by the end of February.What motivates me is the desire to be thin while I am still young, the cruise we want to take for vacation, I want to be healthy for my kids.What changes I am making, At my job I can have all the free sodas and coffee that I want. In the last two weeks I have stopped drinking all sodas and all coffee and have done very well I started at 240 and now I am down to 232.4. The other change that I am making is during my 15 minute break instead of just sitting in the breakroom I started as of today walking down to the first floor and then back up to the 5th floor and back down to my floor. I have started being for careful with what I eat. I have weight control oatmeal and 100 calorie yogurt for breakfast a turkey sandwhich for lunch and string cheese for snack. I will soon be incorporating fruit and veggies as snack during the day.Ultimate goal be down to 160 by fall.
