Post here each day: What is your reason that you will stick to your plan today?

I will stay on plan today because I would really like have lost 10 pounds before the one-month mark of my "diet reboot."

Because my plan is working!

Because I have regained enough of the weight I worked so hard to lose in the first place.

because every time I lose I feel better...why would I want to feel worse!!

Because I'm tired of seeing that same number on the scale.

Hey NEMom!

Because I want to feel better when I look at the scale tomorrow morning and not be worried of not having a positive change in the numbers

Because I am (reluctantly) going wedding dress shopping this Saturday. And it makes a difference if I have eaten well and exercised well for the past few days - if not obvious physically, it still helps me mentally and emotionally.

cause everyone at work is commenting on the weight loss and telling me not to stop!

I'll feel so much better stepping on my scale tomorrow. If there's any fluctuation upward, I'll know it's not a real gain.

This is one day towards a healthy life.

Because I feel like I've lost control of so much in my life in this year: losing an aunt to cancer who was more a mom to me than my own, failing a class in nursing school because I lost the will to move on with my life even for a little while and couldn't study, recently being dumped by an ex for someone else... I feel at least I have control over what I put into my mouth and make better choices. And I feel more strong about my resolve to eat better than I ever have in the past. Maybe because I feel like this control I currently have is the only thing keeping me emotionally grounded at the moment.

Because I feel so good about it this time around. I finally have the resolve to succeed, something I didn't have before.

Because I went to an all-you-can-eat buffet for dinner last night.

Because it feels good to be in control of myself again.
