TG: how on earth do you manage to stay on induction for so long??? What's your secret????

I don't know I think it is a combo of making my weekly goals, and fitting into my XL t-shirt (and thinking of all the cute XL t-shirts at Hot topic waiting for me to buy them!!) It has been so easy this time and I have been so focused I just haven't been willing to stop induction yet! I am one of those people that if I set a goal I "HAVE" to achieve it so I can mark it off as a win, so I recognized that and just went for it!

Saturday 1st day off re-induction YEAH!! :) I let myself off a day early for a job well done and also cause I was getting bored and I didn't want induction to turn into a "BAD" thing.

TERRIBLE eating! Hardly any vegetables and way too snacky!

***Poof*** there you go Jina girl~ :)

I stink at setting and making goals. I'm lucky I haven't gone back to the porker way I've eaten in the past. THAT alone is my goal (to never do again). And I also noticed you said "make realistic goals" and for me lately what I set isn't realistic. I need to sit back and take stock of what my goals are and ask myself if they've changed. *goes to sit in a corner to meditate on that*

YEAH BRENDA you got it!! That is exactly what you should do, make realistic goals for yourself not just what you think you should be doing or what other people think you should be doing, it has to be attainable otherwise you will give up. Baby steps, one tiny change at a time but consistantly!!! When you add it all up it is a HUGE change!
