So I bought Halloween candy about a week ago - before I planned on doing the diet bet.  I bought my ... Read More ›

Great post, really good image to help keep you focused and help you remember the consequences of your cravings (and that you can have treats if you are willing to work for them).

If you have the receipt, I suggest you return the hopefully, unopened bags of candy. If you already opened them, have a family member hide them until Halloween. After that, give them away. You have to set yourself up for success.

Hooray, Amanda, you're on your way! I love your attitude and applaud the way you've been trying to protect your girls. With your positive and healthy attitude about losing weight for the sake of your health, your girls will get that great message. Keep going. You can do this!

I like this - felt exactly the same when I weighed myself except the numbers were up and I didn't want anyone to know....might change that - I have a 7 year old and a 3 year old. Growing up, my mother was always dieting and I vowed my girls would never have to hear me talk of any such thing. Well, I talk about it a lot, but I have reframed it to say 'I am taking care of my body and becoming healthier'. On the darker days, a few nasty self descriptions pop out, but I'm working on it. Here's to our children's healthy bodies and image.Here's to our health!

Some say that step 1 is always the hardest.  When you're reached that moment of "okay, time to make ... Read More ›

Don't be afraid to have a plan, just to get you started. Once you figure out what you are doing....your plans will change anyway. Good idea to go slow and not overwhelm yourself. You got this!!!
