feeling better June 14, 2009
Feeling better today. I have really been craving things lately and its pissing me off!!! I wish I could just forget about all those sugary treats and just eat right. (I know, dont we all wish this) but sometimes it is harder. It just seems a lot harder these past few weeks. I have fought through these cravings and have not strayed from my plan since last monday (so 5 days now). Today was weigh in day, I am down one lb. I am happy about this, but it took a few weeks to lose that one lb. ugh… it’s killing me how slow this is going lately. I really need to practice patience. also, if I could just stick to my plan ALL THE TIME i’m sure the results would be much better. There is a challenge coming up, two actually. This monday is my nieces birthday which will include cake and other goodies I’m sure, then we are having my daughters birthday party on Tuesday which is going to include cake, sloppy joe’s and chips. I just hope and pray that I can control myself. ya know, it really sucks that I can’t just go to a birthday party without worrying about it for days ahead of time and just KNOW that I will not touch the cake. but, i honestly can’t say that I will be able to stop myself. I wish I had that much control, but even after 14 months of this lifestyle change… my control is still an issue. wish me luck.
You’ll be fine! Think of everything you’ve accomplished so far- that new photo you posted is INCREDIBLE! You’re a fabulous, sexy, strong woman and you DON’T want nasty sugary stuff.

Good Luck! You can do this! Remember that it is only a taste in your mouth and it’s not really worth it. I remind myself of that everyday.
I know you are working out 4-5 times a week, but you may want to try changing up something you are doing at the gym.. it might jump start your body into thinking that this is NOT the end of the weight loss journey. You are doing amazing.. we all have our down times.. I’m in one right now too.. I’ve gained 4lbs in the last two weeks.. but I am going to go back to Phase I of the Fat Smash diet to get my body and brain back into weight loss mode.
You’ve done well with the control. Part of me wants to say keep it up and then allow yourself that sugary cake, just one piece. But the other part of me knows from experience, that just opens the floodgates sometimes. Hope you figure out what works for you!
