I cannot believe March has come upon us! This year is really starting to fly, so let's continue to take this journey day by day and make March a great month for staying on plan and reaching our goals!
One reason for me to stay on plan today is because I do not want to see myself slip back into old habits that only harm me.
My reason for staying on plan in March? I'm going to storm into the Onederland thread. (Maybe not in March, but I WILL meet -a- goal in March) I'm claiming March as my one day at a time, on plan, for as many days as it takes to meet my goals. I'm not going to berate myself, I'm not going to mentally or emotionally tear myself down for not being perfect, I'm going to build Angi up, I'm going to nourish her, physically, emotionally and mentally, and tell her how freaking awesome she is every day in March.
I'm about 25 lbs from hitting the "obese" category in BMI. Never thought I'd be excited to say that, but it will be nice to not be "morbidly obese" that sounds so, well... morbid. Pardon the pun. Not that this will happen in March, but it's definitely a reason to keep going!
I'm staying OP today because I CAN'T give in to my emotional food cravings, no matter how intense they are. If I give in, I'm taking a huge step backward.
I am the type of person that needs practical reasons to stay on plan.
This month, I replaced over half my wardrobe with new clothes (hey--I took advantage of some good clearance sales!). All of my old, too big clothes were donated to a charity I work with. I really don't want to have to buy them back from Sr. K!
I am staying on plan until I get to 195! And after that, for some other reason. But I started Feb at 201, and ended it at... 201. Via 204 via 196. If the set point theory isn't true, it must be coincidence that the last weight I stayed at for a significant time was 196!
I KNOW I can be smaller than this. Preferably this month! I really want the scale to say 13-something, instead of barely even getting down to the dead-on 14 marker!!
Because I want to get my rewards I've told myself I can have if I stay on plan and loose the weight!! (the next ones are sitting in our spare bedroom taunting me ).
one reason to stay on plan is cuz april 4th is my bday and i want to finally dress nice for my bday and look good and not feel uncomfortable about what im wearing and i want all my freinds to see the effort and time i have put into getting myself back together!
Because I'm hoping to be down to 216 by next week's weigh-in. No big deal if I don't lose the full 2 pounds, but that'll make an even 52 pounds to mark my full year of being on plan!
