Default Christmas Morning

As of today it is officially less than 6 months until Christmas. Does anyone have their shopping done? haha

This got me to thinking today. There are some weeks when I do so well on plan I'm excited about my weekly weigh-in. The night before weigh-in feels like Christmas Eve. I've been a good girl this week, eating on plan and exercising. What will Santa bring me in the morning? A new bicycle (big loss) or a pair of socks (no loss)? I can't wait to find out!

P.S. Sorry, Santa. There aren't any milk and cookies for you this year. But I did leave you a flavored sparkling water and some greek yogurt.

Firstly, I LOVE this. I'm such a big kid, Christmas is still one of my favourite times of year

I'm also thinking now about how this Christmas could be my first ever when I'm at a happy-weight and won't feel like an elephant at any parties. So excited already!

This is exactly what I have been thinking..... since last Christmas haha. :P I should have definitely reached my goal by Christmas and can't wait to have my first Christmas of being a healthy weight and not having to worry about seeing family I haven't seen in ages and wondering how much fatter I look than the last time they saw me. I can just relax and enjoy the day! SOOOOO EXCITED!!!

Just looking through the Christmas smiley list and found this little guy ---> he's so cute!!

I absolutely love Christmas, but do the same thing and stress myself out knowing I have to face my family with the extra weight I packed on through-out the year. It really puts a drag on the holidays.

I live out of state, so I only get to see my extended family once a year. I love my family, but I get it in my head that they're going to be whispering in dark corners about my weight all night. Obviously this is not true. My family loves me and is happy to see me know matter what I weigh. The only difference this year is the opinion of myself has changed. Definitely looking forward to a more positive holiday and being able to focus on the real meaning of Christmas this year.

Me, too! I didn't get going until April, so to think of what I can do in 6 months makes my mind go wild. Oh the possibilities, sparkly new Christmas/New Year's outfits and family pictures in front of the tree where I'm not trying to hide my body behind presents.

Right now Christmas seems like it's ages away, but in terms of weight-loss it really isn't. I know for me I could fall off the wagon by then. I could either be 30 more lbs down or have gained 30lbs back by then. It's exciting to think of myself in the 200's by Christmas, but I need to stay focused and continue to take this journey day by day.

My weekly weigh-in is tomorrow and it feels like a getting socks from Santa kind of day. haha

Funny I have been thinking about what to get everyone for Christmas but have yet to do any shopping. I will be doing it ALL in September though! Everyone will get a $100 gift card to their fav place and then a couple other things. Tired of trying to figure out what to get everyone and no one is ever happy!

Christmas is my absolute favorite! I had to force myself to put away the Christmas music last month because I just got the urge to listen to it haha. I haven't done any actual shopping yet, but I've got a whole bunch of stuff pinned that I want to buy/make for friends & family. I don't usually start actually buying anything until November at the earliest. In a perfect world I'd give myself the gift of onederland, but that would be consistently losing over 3lbs a week so I'm not gonna bank on it. I'll sure as heck try, though!
