Struggle, Struggle, Struggle

So I planned on one meal for Mother's Day weekend which turned into quite a few "off-plan" foods. AHHHHH! I just posted a comment of a fellow dieters blog in essence saying that I struggle so much with my emotions and that if I just had fewer of them I may not struggle quite so much.

So, what is the answer? I think it's this: forget yesterday and begin again afresh tomorrow.

I will take my pills when I am supposed to. I will drink all my water - all 80 oz. of it. I will not eat anything impulsively but I will tell myself the correct things ie I don't need that bowl of cereal right now, or I can wait until I get home to eat something that is on my plan.

This weekend poses another challenge. We are going to a camp up north as a church for a retreat. Ah, I am so weak. Lord, help me.

Month One

Well, I feel like I just ran a long race then realized that I just turned the corner to see blocks and blocks spread out in front of me. Now, I did run the race, that is good, but the race is still on!!

I've lost 13 pounds and 18 inches total for the month. Again, this is really good but I feel like there is still so far to go!!

I am going to enjoy at least one "real" meal - with dessert this weekend in honor of Mother's Day. My thinking is really changing, though! I threw something away because I really didn't like it, when in the past I would have just eaten it anyway.
