Dear Tracy,
And so it begins...
I am hoping that the Transformer game will keep me focused beyond the 30 days of the kickstarter game. I won the bet, and then ate myself back every single pound (plus two) that I lost. I know that yo-yo-ing is perhaps worse than being overweight, but when you are SO overweight then really, it's just one. more. thing. And I'm as tired of all those things. Everything single one of them.
So, this time is going to be different.
There, I said it.
I am pretty tough when it comes to most things. I've overcome a lot in my life and I know that I'm worth it. Weight has always been the disconnect. I have never in my life been thin and happy. I've been fat and happy and fat and unhappy, but thin has always meant depression or anxiety or some sort of pain. So I would like to be a normal weight AND happy. Therefore, I'm just going to do it.
This is how:
Drink water or diet snapple half and half.
Sugar is poison.
Fruit contains sugar, so use it sparingly.
Grains contain sugar so use them sparingly.
Eat more vegetables.
Eat lean proteins.
Try to move around a little more each day.
ONE snack between lunch and dinner and then after dinner. ONE SNACK. Did you read that? ONE SNACK. This alone may account for the whole amount you have to lose this month.
Treat yourself to SOMETHING. ANYTHING. You work hard, you take care of a bunch of other people and you DESERVE to have some fun. Food may be the quickest way to have a party, but you KNOW, YOU KNOW that there are other things you enjoy that can take the place of food.
So there you go.
This month I have to lose almost 9 pounds.
And so I shall.
Love you girly!
Tracy
