I'm staying on plan because losing weight is the only way I can alleviate some of my knee pain. According to the ortho, we've exhausted all the possibilities like meds and shots so now I wait for surgery which will be at least six months.
I thought of a new reason for myself. I am very into auto racing. I love NASCAR, and my brother and several of his friends (AKA, my "other brothers") race at a local dirt track. Each year, they have a powder puff race. (Even though each class of racing has at least a couple of females.) Anyway, my brother is much thinner than I am. I've always wanted to drive in the powder puff, but haven't ever asked my brother, because with the safety belts and seat, there's no way I'd fit into the damn thing. Once I drop enough weight, I am going to drive a race car. LOL. (too bad my brother doesn't know it yet! haha. )
How about this for a reason: Because I've already begun losing weight and now I'm even more motivated than I was a couple days ago! I'm starting to shrink!!
I'm staying OP today because Onederland is within my grasp. That, and I'm inexplicably retaining water like crazy. It's not TOM (that was last week) and I haven't been eating a bunch of salt, but my rings have been really tight the last few days. I'm frustrated about it and don't want water weight to turn into real weight by eating my frustration.
I am staying on plan today because I want to lose enough to possibly see 160 by the end of the month.I might not make it. I might have to fight tooth and nail to do it.If I don't challenge myself it might never get done.
