Are you even hungry?"<br /><br />It doesn't stop me from eating junk here and there (seriously.. I ate Oreos yesterday). But, when I do, it's a conscious decision and not a mindless thing (which is what, for me, it had been before, and that was the problem for me).<br /><br />I'm not sure if your situation is the same as mine, but if it is, taking a second to evaluate whether you really want something "bad" before you eat it may help keep you on the good path more often than not.<br /><br />Anyway, it's great that you are thinking all this stuff out and are trying to figure out why you were sabotaging yourself. I think we all do it -- I know I certainly have gone through phases like that. Hang in there!! You've come so far already -- only a little way farther to go!Catherine55https://www.blogger.com/profile/13315887359315579554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567385775542087238.post-80807397653068626142012-05-02T10:56:17.339-07:002012-05-02T10:56:17.339-07:00Thanks for taking accountability for your situatio...Thanks for taking accountability for your situation. That's a huge first step in my opinion. So tired of hearing everyone making excuses when it's them that's the problem. YOu've got this.. you've been successful and you know what to do to get to where you know you want to be! I have tons of faith in you!!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09119341159470483276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567385775542087238.post-42132085003601044212012-05-02T08:01:34.196-07:002012-05-02T08:01:34.196-07:00Hoo-rah!

You have to be ready or at least fake it till you make it. I find that my best weeks are the weeks I plan my meals out on the weekend for the week. Otherwise I will eat out(bad choices made then) but I still find that I can't always be the planner I want. This week is a good week and I hope to see some results. Last week was not so much...I ate out more and consumed more calories than I should. I hope you find what works for you!jennxazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494091103772165015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567385775542087238.post-4686373843306812082012-05-02T07:27:36.883-07:002012-05-02T07:27:36.883-07:00I think you have some good plans in place, it'...I think you have some good plans in place, it's the first step! Next step: following through. It's hard, very hard.<br /><br />I will say, I hope you and your husband can be strong for each other. I think I would have failed at this long ago if my partner wasn't right alongside me on everything (he's gone totally paleo and works out with me constantly). I can't imagine the struggle if I didn't have his help!Jeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932197714895328100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567385775542087238.post-22851032660959345922012-05-02T07:22:10.320-07:002012-05-02T07:22:10.320-07:00I feel like I am in the same boat with you. I just...I feel like I am in the same boat with you. I just had a fill two weeks ago and I am not doing that well with it. Yes it is baseball season and we literally have one free night a week and then Sunday's which is usually catching up with the house chores and such. I am so upset with myself because I am more than half way to goal and I have lost my mojo. This time of year is hard on me because our schedules but I need to stop making that excuse. The gym that I go to is open until 11pm every M-F. Even though I am really tired when I get home, I still have the time to get there before they close. <br />I'm with you on this. It starts now. I need to do this and I have no more excuses! <br />Lets do it together!Banded Mommy (Angie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10335529364679682351noreply@blogger.com
