Give me a cookie?!

  • Mood:

I went to the store yesterday and passed over the the can of cashews on sale for $2. The next aisle had my sf ice cream on sale for $2 and I wanted to . I am working my way back to plan the first step is no more sf ice cream and cans of cashews. Once I get that stuff out of my system I will be ready to get back to LFL. 

You know the saying? You deserve a cookie for your accomplishments. Well I deserve a cookie or something. Right? I don't believe in the food rewards so give me a  .

 The other part of my step by step plan is to get my exercise in order. It's coming along. 4 days last week of various workouts and so far this week I am moving - 30 gazelle minutes last night and 15 this morning. I will continue to exercise morning or night as long as I get it done.

I am not posting weights right now. Not because I don't want to, but my scale has chosen to die on me. I just replaced the battery and it worked for a few weeks now it's not working again. At first I was freaking out - I thought I really need to see my weight in the mornings.  I've decided it's a good thing. When I first started I did not have a scale. This forces me not to focus so much on my weight, but on getting myself back in gear doing the right things. I'm trying to see the positive in my $50 scale dying on me after 2 years.

Many of my wl friends are struggling with the same thing that I am dealing with. Our drive is not as strong as it once was. I have been fighting that spirit of complacency for a long time. For me starting at over 363 lbs and hurting everyday, I had more motivation to lose the weight. I had to learn to stop beating myself up over my inability to have that drive I had then. Right now I am working on my new motivation. The new motivators I posted was a start, but I don't read over those daily and maybe I should. I have been thinking of printing them on a 4X6 card and framing them for my room and desk. I know personally what happens if I quit out right and go back to my old ways. Not an option. So everyday I look at my heavier pictures and remind myself of what I don’t want until I am firm in what I do want. For now it’s a matter of this image vs. that imagefor me.

 My pastor keeps preaching on breakthrough and the messages have been for me. Strongholds are things that we are holding onto and not things that have a hold of us. Three simple words - LET IT GO! It's funny how I have become so determined not to eat sugar because I recognize that as a stronghold that I don't want in my life. Why can't I recognize and let go the other things that are hindering me? Like that spirit of complacency? That spirit of avoidance? The spirit of rationalization? I need to use the same mentality that I have so ingrained in my brain concerning sugar. It's a process and I will get there.

Hey, I was about 45 pounds overweight, then I got type 2 diabetes, pretty much got my act together overnight, after that.....NO MORE SUGAR, seriously, this works like a charm. cut out sugar and high and medium glycemic foods. Im sure we've heard it a thosand times but the weight will fall off within months, even without additional exercise.
Just have patience.
All the best. Dave
