But I did it! Its inspired me to issue a ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/whiy/2009/10/28/7-day-challenge/ It started out as an awesome day.  I managed to control myself even when the stress started to get high at work (my weak point when it comes to binges).  I ate well all day and even managed to stare down a cookie before walking away.  I did a step ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/whiy/2009/10/28/binges-buffets-are-not-your-friend/ "Baby are you down...down...down,..down...dooowwn"  Here's to the falling of the numbers.  I'm excited ^^ 10/22/2009 - 145.0 10/29/2009 - http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/whiy/2009/10/22/6/ Why do I keep sabotaging myself?  It's like deep down, this goal feels so far fetched.  The image of a healthy skinny me is more like a dream then something achievable.  What, me?
