This morning I made a decision that it would be in my best interest if I didn’t have access to my scale. It’s also in the best interest of my goals. I can’t be trusted. I probably weighed at least 4 times yesterday. Yes, I am ready to admit I have a problem. Then the moment I got up this morning I was back on that scale. It’s not good to be like that. It gives my mind an excuse for cheating and I can’t have that. I’m setting myself up for disaster. So, with all that said I turned my scale over to Mike and he’s assured me it will be somewhere that I can’t find it. My hope is that it will be out of sight out of mind and I won’t go seek that thing out. I need to learn some self control. Mike knows that Tuesday morning will be my weigh in day and he will have the scale at the ready so I can check my progress and then it will disappear again until Tuesday rolls back around. He did state that he is open to bribes and I told him he should be more concerned with blackmail. LOL He knows what I’m talking about. HAha! I’ve really done well so far and this little writing thing has seemed to help. I mean, who wants to come and write about how bad you did… not me. I want to share good things I’ve accomplished. Like, the fact that I walked on the treadmill again for 35 minutes yesterday.
On another note, Steven (my 16 year old son who challenged me to this specific way of eating) and I have scheduled a little “congratulatory” meal to celebrate our accomplishments. We’ve scheduled this for September 28th and I am really looking forward to it. It will only take place as long as we are able to stay strong and get through the next few weeks. I think we can do it. I have faith in us… plus the incentive for some good Mexican food is very hard to pass up.
I have several people who are inspiring me and pushing me to do well this time. Mike who tells me every day that I’m beautiful and supports me in my ups and downs in all of this. Jess who inspired me to do this blog and she checks on me almost every day. Steven who inspired my plan for eating healthy and my friend on Facebook Alicia who posts about her workouts every day and motivates me to get off my butt, I see that I’m not in this all alone and I need that.
Thats a great way to stay motivated and on track...I want Mexican food LOL I think that you are definitely doing good. You should be proud of yourself. You have taken steps in the right direction! I admire that
