Because my 93 year old grandmother is dying of cancer and she took very good car of herself for those long 93 years. How dare I let myself shorten my own life! Today, I will do it because of my Nanny.
I will stay on plan today because I'm 5lbs away from a healthy BMI and I want to reach that goal by the time my best friend visits at the beginning of May!
Because I have PLANS this summer and they involve not feeling self-conscious about how I look. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror recently and saw a normal person, so I'm on my way.
Because I'm trying a trick I read in Women's Day magazine, whereby every time you want to eat something you know you shouldn't, you spend a moment deliberately fantasizing how hot you look thin. Not how hot you will look, you pretend you are already at goal. I don't know how, but it made a snack craving go away in a heartbeat a couple nights ago. Plus, it felt good.
OH, and I'll stay on plan because now it's only TWO pounds more until I hit Pre-Jerkface Mc@$$Hat weight. Also, in ONE more pound, I'll be technically closer to 200 than 300.
I am staying on plan tomorrow because today was not a good food day (I have been STARVING all day, thanks PMS). Plus, this evening my sister sent me some pictures she took of me this morning at my niece and nephew's Easter egg hunt, and I just looked terrible. It was really depressing to see after losing over 70 pounds that I still look so fat. No better reason to stick with my plan.
