... Because if I can do this, I can do anything.
... Because I'm on Day 2 of the 30DS.
... Because I drank more water yesterday than I have in a long time.
... Because I want my husband to be surprised when he comes home in February.
... Because this time, I have the support and dedication to commit to this change.
... Because I've done it for the last 10 days, what's one more?
... Because I want to bring out the skinny girl I know is hiding inside.
... Because I'm sick of the bouts of self-loathing that come with being this way.
Because this week, despite my big words, my weight has just sat there and gone a bit and fluctuated and cr*p.
Because I am going to do everything I can to not plateau.
Because I really, really didn't yesterday. I went out and socialized and had fun, which I needed, but my diet has been slowly going off the rails and after dropping weight like there's nothing to it for a week, it is creeping back up (three pounds this morning! I fear for my 'official' number tomorrow) and I need to get it back under control so I can get below 150 and stay there. I'm sooo close to 100 lbs lost, there's no reason to backslide now, no matter what's going on with me emotionally.
One reason I will stay on plan today is because it is such a feeling of accomplishment and I know I can do it. I did it 2 days last week and was actually doing the Biggest Loser Diet. I really surprised myself.
