Try ..try...try again! Right? I'm back on the wagon. I'm not drinking anymore soda and I'm going to really pay attention to what I'm eating and when. I've got to get this under control now!
me, too... I was feeling kinda bloated the other night so I got on the scales.... HOLY CRAP.. I had gained almost 10 pounds so I immediately went into battle mode... packed up all the Halloween candy for Seth to take to youth with him and swore to not bake anymore until the holidays actually get here :) I've been exercising a little more portion control, less snacking, etc. and I've already lost half of it.
I drink caffeine free diet coke (basically colored water)when I do drink coke.. you get used to it. I actually prefer it now.
I know I'm never going to be slim again but I guess the fact that we keep at least trying to control the gaining is a plus in our favor. When I get to thinking about health issues- the fact that cancer cells feed on sugar and fat is enough to make me think twice, the fact that women with abdominal excess are more likely to get colon cancer, again, makes me not want to eat that snack.
Okay, think I will go for a walk now :)
keep trying, never give up, and I will do the same!!
We can do it A! :) I was thinking about this a little more last night and something clicked. I think the reason I try and give up and try and give up is that a part of me knows I will never be the size 0, tall, dark, beautiful blond that is the beacon of beauty in our culture. It makes me feel defeated before I even start even though it is not and has never been my goal to be that girl. I also look at my mom and grandma and know what my body type is and the reality is that even if I workout forever and eat nothing I will have this belly and these thighs. It's just a fact. I'm trying to re-wrap my brain around sensible healthy goals. It's just so hard with the constant influx of media and co-workers who love to tell me how they can eat whatever they want and not gain a pound!

The soda thing is a struggle for me, too, at times. I have to completely keep it out of the house! You can do this, Sandra!
