Oh... Are you wondering what I am talking about? Losing ten pounds before the wedding, that's what!
I believe this is harder for someone like me. I eat a healthy diet. I don't eat fast food. I don't snack on pretzels and candy bars. I do exercise. I eat tons of veggies. I am a woman over fifty--so I have hormones-gone-crazy.
I don't have fifty pounds to lose, just ten or fifteen--I would be delighted with ten! It's not like I can give up snacking and voila! Ten pounds melts away! Or start exercising and poof! There goes that flabby middle.
No, I need to rethink portions.
I need to vamp up my exercise.
And... I need to start now!!!!
Every day, I have the opportunity to choose differently. And so far... everyday I have not made the choice. Days slip by, unobtrusive... and nothing is noticed... nothing changes... it is the easy path. Why do I choose the easy path which does not get me to my goal?
Maybe the goal is too big, and the action steps too fuzzy. Maybe I haven't asked for support, out of embarrassment or self-consciousness. Time to change that.
This is me. All 162 pounds!
And I am asking for your support! It can be in the form of sending positive messages.... or mental thoughts.... or not offering cookies when you see me! I tried my wedding dress on... yup--definitely will look better sans 10 pounds!!!!
I pushed the RESET button today-- I started a five day sugar cleanse! I will let you know how I did after the five days!
I wish you well with your weight loss. I totally agree with your assessment about the difficulty involved! It is so much harder for people who already eat a healthy diet. You can't give up chips and chocolate or fried foods and soda and have a simple fix! I personally need to weigh and measure everything and scrutinize daily calorie counts to see any weight come off!
ReplyDeleteYou will do it Lee! If u just make a couple of small changes, it WILL have big cumulative affects!
