DECEMBER - One reason you will stay on plan today
 

There are many reasons to stay on plan today... But, this post is about the ONE reason you will stay with it today.

Let's share.

I am worth it!!

I want to feel great for a family party on the 17th.

Gloomy weather is no excuse to overeat.

cause too-small blue jeans are painful! (i posted this on November's...oops...forgot today was the first day of December) :)

cause I turn 31 in a little over a week, and I deserve to be good to myself.

I will stay on my plan today because I want to be able to PUSH THROUGH the pangs of mindless eating - I want to be able to have a sane day with food and start building on it.

So did I!

So I will reiterate: I will stay OP today because I am tired of feeling bad, and the only way to feel good is to feel good about myself.

I want to stay on plan today because:

I love the energy I have right now! It feels good.... and I'm tired of, well, feeling tired.

My mind feels clearer, I have more bounce to each step, and smiling is simply easier.

Because...the pain of NOT EATING is less pain than the pain of when I binge and feel icky or give in to my compulsions!

Because sooner is better than later!

because I don't like what food has done to my body .. time for a new new me..

Because Santa Claus is coming to townnnnn....he knows when I've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake!

Because I'm looking ahead to spring.

Because I don't know the girl in the mirror.

because I worked so hard to get to the 240s and I am NOT happy about revisiting the 250s

I struggle with exercise now, not food. So I've decided that I'm going to walk everyday for a week and see what that does for me. I walked yesterday, so being on plan this week means walking.

And the one reason I'm going to do it is because I want to be a healthy person in all ways.

I love this idea. I'm going to try and post one reason every day.

Because I want to wear boy shorts! lol

Because I need to make it a habit.

I will stay on plan today because I want to get to onederland!

T2L - you're very close!


I will stay on plan today because I stayed on plan yesterday.

Because I feel so much better when I do!

because I made a bet...

tomorrow my reason will be more inspirational.

Because today ends a complete 6 weeks of my new lifestyle and 6 weeks is the longest I've ever attempted to lose weight. This time is different --- 17 lbs down and no desire to stop!!

because I didn't do as well as planned over thanksgiving and my body let me know it wasn't happy about it.

...because I just saw the Thanksgiving photos and dear LORD. Nope, no more, and I even mean it this time.

because I want to make my 10% loss this week!

Because by summer time I want to look half way decent in a swimsuit... I have not worn a swimsuit out in public for a LONG time.

because I want to be able to cross my legs again without it being painful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because I am retaining so much water right now and I feel gross. I know how much better I'll feel if I stick to my plan and get the water weight back off.

because I want to prove to myself that I can do this

because I'm sick of the up and down

I will stay on my plan today because if I have a really good op day - then I can build on this and create some healthy momentum.

Also...I want food sanity in my life!!!!

BeverlyJoy, you are right on the money with the momentum. I will not let the holiday season stop my momentum! I will stay on plan today because I only have a few pounds to lose to get below 200! I am not sure about exactly how long it has been since I was under 200 but about 30 years.

Because I really, really want to be 250 lbs by January 1st!

Because even though the scale hasn't budged.. I feel so much better when I exercise and eat right!

Because I'm not going to be a quitter in this.

3 days of walking 3 miles a day! An hour a day is my plan!

Exactly... I'm in the same boat!

I'm staying with it because I need for people (specifically one person) to see though the fat and see me.

because I love it when clothes are baggy
