Okay - another week gone by. Another week of struggling not to eat what and when I want.
.
This is this week's lightbulb moment: (I've had it before, but apparantly needed it again).
.
After I lose it this weight, then I can live exactly the way I am living now. Meaning, I can have treats, and I can have seconds as long as I am still working out, and not going overboard. How do I know this? Because I have NO problem maintaining my weight! I just have problems losing it! In other words, I only have to sacrifice for a short while until these 15 pounds are gone. The cake and cookies and french fries will still be here once I have reached my goal!!! Does that make sense? Might sound too simple of a concept, but I need simplicity. So, why I can't I be strong and disciplined for a few months and then live the rest of my life at my happy weight while I maintain? That my friends, is the question.
.
I am feeling stronger. I am feeling like I am in better shape than I was a month ago. I run longer on the treadmill. I can see the definition coming back in my arms.
.
The scale won't budge.
.
When I imagine the feeling of putting on a pair of size 8 jeans, comfortably, I feel so motivated. But then the pantry calls.... and I listen. Why do I have to be such a good listener?! Sacrafice... that's my new word this week.
.
I CAN!

You just make me laugh girl. I personally think you are way to hard on yourself. You look amazing already. So, if it takes you a little while longer to lose those extra 15 pounds, so be it. Hey, it's like you said....you're not putting it back on.....that means something girl.
Be proud of the success you have had, and just take it one day at a time....sometimes one hour at a time...when the m&m's are calling. I do understand that pain.
Go go go, Tracy!!!! You're getting there.
