crazy backwards cycle

No loss (actually I did lose 0.2 lbs), no gain this week.  In my book, that's not a bad thing at all.  I am kinda in shock that I haven't had a week where I gained since I started this journey because I am certainly not perfect and I totally have my bad days!  I am learning things about myself as I go along.  I am a BIG TIME emotional eater.  Any emotion I have makes me feel like I need to eat!  Sad + food = temporary happiness.  Happy + food = temporary happiness.  Excited about an accomplishment + food = temporary happiness.  Etc, etc.  I say temporary because then... temporary happiness from food + beating myself up about eating the not-so-healthy food = One pissed off girl who wants to binge herself out of being grossed out by her lack of control with, what else, food!  This crazy backwards cycle is a constant struggle for me.  It has forced me to take a good hard look at my inner self and has made me think about some changes that I need to make.  I am trying every day to be a better me and I have to say...  I am feeling pretty darn good! :)

Bobi's last two weeks...update

I lost 1 lb. last week and 1 lb. this week. 14 lbs. to go! I have been finding it so much harder to be good this past week.  Kyler's birthday was on Tuesday.  I had to take treats to school, then have his favorite cake made for his birthday party after school as well!  I had a piece of cake at the party and then another piece that night with the family.  I also had a piece after lunch the next day!  (It was better than you-know-what cake- I couldn't resist!)  I will be trying harder this week.  Guess I'd better not make any more cake! Dang! LOL!  On another note... I tried on a pair of pants a couple days ago (that were snug) that I wore last year when my sister was here... they were huge on me!  Fun to see such a big difference! :)

4 pounds down

I lost 4 lbs this last week. HAhahaha I am so excited. I have lost 9 lbs so far and I am looking at about 10 lbs to go. Yahoo!

Motivation

I have been trying really hard to do better eating and working out and I don't always see the results. Well today when I was getting in the shower (I hate looking at myself naked) I thought Oh my gosh my stomach is smaller!!! I was so excited. It is working and paying off. We might not see it as quick as we want to but we will see the results in the long run! Keep it up ladies!
