Hi there everyone,
I can't believe that no one started a thread today.LOL Everyone must be busy today. It is 8:30pm here.
I wanted to post to let you all know what is happening here. I did terrible for the the past 2 days with my eating. I finally decided today once and for all to not just say that I am getting back on track and do it 1/2 heartedly. I am doing this by the book now and from now on. I am only cheating myself and I am starting over again today. Each day is fresh with no mistakes and I really did get back on track today.
In church this morning I prayed to have god help me and give me the strength that I need to continue on my journey and meet my goal. I never finish what I start when it comes to me. So this time I am going to do it. No matter how long it takes. I am doing this for me and I have to complete this goal for me. I will do it with your help and the help of the lord up above. I need all the help I can get.LOL I haven't really been putting in 100% effort and I am ready to do that now. My pants are getting tight and I refuse to go backwards anymore and go back into a bigger size. So I am doing something about it now before it gets to that point.
I went to a baby shower today. You know with all the food and cake. Well I yelled at myself on the way and said you just had lunch ( a chef salad I made at home) and you are not hungry and you don't need to eat. You are going to have fun and socialize with people not to eat. You will have your dinner when you get home. I did this twice on the way over.
You know what I did it. I only had 3 cucumber slices and 3 baby carrots which were both 0 points. I left feeling great. It was so hard though. But I did it because I was determined that I am staying on track this time. I was so proud of myself. I am glad that I did it. I know that if I try hard enough I can do this and this proves it. I have done it before at birthday parties and had no cake so I knew I could do it again.
I did take dexatrim after church today so that it was working full force when I was at the party. I will only take this for a couple of days to get my appetite under control again until I am in a routine of normal eating again. I don't beleive in taking it long term. Nor do I think it is healthy to take long term. But it does work to control your eating to get you back on track again. That is what I need. My eating has been so out of control lately but I am back and ready to have a loss this week. I am also going to exercise 3 days this week. But I am only going to do it once a day and not go to the extreme either.
Have a great night everyone and take care. I will talk to you tomorrow.
