It feels like I have been fighting my weight as long as I can remember, and I always say that I'm going to lose the weight for good. The key words there are "always say". I always say it but never do it. For some unknown reason I sabotage myself. I'm an emotional eater and this is a big problem since I can get emotional pretty easy.
Pain in my back that won't go away...Chipotle.
Not being as successful in my career...ice cream.
Still single...chocolate.
Not losing weight...pizza.
Scary how I can recognize the problem, but fail to do anything about it. So, this time I am going to make it happen! What was the deciding factor? When I waved to a friend and realized that my hand had stopped but my underarms continued to flap. Ok, that might be an exaggeration, but it is so close to the truth. The last time I weighed under 160 I was in college. I'm now 37 and determined to follow through with this challenge. Just as I type those last few words I start to feel even more motivated (enter Chariots of Fire them song here). I can do this!
Daily affirmation time... I'm good enough, I'm strong enough and doggone it people like me!
