Am I the only one who struggles with weight? Am I the only one who starts a diet and falls off the wagon in less then 2 days? Am I the only one who hates the way they look and has no will power to change it??
That is probably the most frustrating part. I don't even like to look at myself in the mirror, so don't you think I would gross myself out enough to make me stop eating. (You can laugh that was kinda funny). You would think!!
Something hit me today. My husband called me at work and I told him I was not taking a lunch and leaving work early today. Being a nice concerned husband he said do you have something to eat for lunch. In a sad, pouty voice I said yeah a can of soup. I then said, doesn't that sound exciting. My husband then says, it sounds like lunch to me, does it have to be exciting?? There it is, does it have to be exciting??
I know this isn't my only problem, but yes I do think that lunch is exciting for me. I look forward to lunch, where are we going to eat today, are we going out, are we eating in, we start talking about lunch after breakfast because we look forward to it so much. Its a break in the day, its like clockwork if your truly hungry or not its 11:00 what are we doing for lunch. How do you get out of this routine?
I sit at a desk all day long, I don't get much exercise at work. I feel like I run around all evening long at work but its not much exercise either. We eat out several times a week at home. Of course I never choose the healthy options, how boring right!!!!!
Well, I am not telling anyone (besides two of my good friends) that I am starting a diet today. I figure I have 2 months to get a good start on this diet and loose some weight to really make me feel good to start the summer.
I am going to keep myself in check on this diet.
What diet am I doing? Here is my goal, I would love to try to stay around the WW point system. That way I know what I am eating is good. But I don't want to be obsessed with it. A good friend of mine told me about her husband. He has lost 29 pounds in a few short weeks. He is simply eating a light breakfast (granola bar), a Smart One Meal (weight control frozen dinner) for lunch, a veggie or fruit snack in the afternoon, and a normal dinner. This has inspired me, this doesn't sound to horriable to me. I think I can do this??
Are you on board?? If you want to do this with me, lets stay accountable on my blog and check in each day and lets see how we do! If we fail, we pick up our pieces and we try again! (I need help with this one, when I fail I just want to give up!). I have a daily diet devotional at home and I am going to try to post a devotional each day as well.
I hope I get a few supporters out there.
First problem...........................we are going to a Revival tonight, we are stopping at McDonalds on the home, any suggestions?????

I'm on board with you! I started to watch what I eat (should'nt eat) and started walking 2 weeks ago. I've got to lose about 20 lbs or even more would be nice, but 20 is my goal. It can be done. I've lost a lot of weight before and then got stuck. Its time to get the rest off.
If you are going to McDonalds I would stay away from fries, shakes and burgers! Maybe a salad or grilled chicken. Good Luck!
I started following the ww points on my own (no meetings)...it worked for me and it's realistic long term. Then exercise became like brushing my teeth...just part of my day. I've maintained my weight for about 4 years and now I run marathons! Keep your eye on the small goals and don't beat yourself up for missing a day or having an extra few points. Just keep moving forward and focus on the accomplishments. Now, I'm stepping down from my soap box. This is a subject near and dear to me. Good luck!
