14.5 lbs down and I am now onto phase two. I’m cooking delicious meals and trying not to go crazy on the not so great phase two foods. It’s hard. Last time I lost weight I did a great job. I was on track all the time and lost the weight REALLY fast. I don’t think that was so good now that I am looking back on it. As soon as I stopped thinking about the rigorous diet that I was on I gained most of it backed. And that sucks. SO I really need to do a few things:

• not go to the ultimate extreme; find a balance
• eat 3 meals a day
• eat foods I enjoy so I don’t feel like I’m missing out
• make sure to eat when I’m hungry so I don’t go crazy
• Drink lots of water
• Exercise in some form everyday

I think if I go a little slower and make sure to eat foods I really like and not force myself to eat foods I don’t enjoy then I can do this for the rest of my life. I think If I am unhappy I will think of it like a diet. I thought I was doing good last time but obviously since I gained it back I did something wrong. I need to not be so hard on myself. I need to not weigh myself everyday. I need to let myself have a treat here and there.

I need to believe in myself!
