Almost gave into a binge today. Was leaving my neice's and my favorite pizza place is by her house. I had been thinking about getting the pizza all day and blowing off the gym. Was actually driving towards it, but stopped and thought, why, I'm just going to hate myself afterwards. So, just kept driving home and went to the gym even though I really didn't want to.
yeah me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, here we go again. Have actually been back on the site for about two weeks, just haven't been journaling. Have lost a little over 6 pounds since January 1st. Joined a gym two weeks ago and am really enjoying going. Not even looking at it as if I have a choice to go, just doing it. Have noticed an increase in my endurance already.
The eating thing is going fine. Haven't really made a change from what I was doing when I was on here before. The problem happens when I quit paying attention to my eating and let all the crap slip in.
And as for chocolate, it's out of here. I simply can not have it. That was my downfall last April. Had lost 20 + pds from Feb to April and then thought sure I could handle a little chocolate. Hah. Not!!!!!
I don't know if it's me but the weight loss forum seems a little bitchy. People are asking for advice and some of the stuff that is being written just seems uncalled for. I'll be thinking twice about posting a topic.
On to happier stuff... Went outside this morning to feed the birds, and it was just lovely. Birds were singing, sun was shinning, all was good. Then my cat who slipped outside with me, made the day. His name is Norman and he is just wrong in so many ways. Well after I got done feeding the birds, I'm on my way back to my house and I look back and there Norman is, laying underneath the bird feeder. One, He is white and orange so it's not like the birds can't see him there and two, all of the birds just went to the other feeders. I wonder if he realizes he is never going to catch a bird like that. Made me laugh though.
Well, am off to start my day. Hope one and all have a great one, I plan to.

Okay, who ever took it, give it back. My motivation is lost and I can't find it anywhere. If anyone see's it, please return it to "My large butt, c/o my large thighs" Everywhere, USA.
PS, motivations sister, self esteem, is really missing it.

The other day I was reading an article about an 80 year old lady who was still in excellent health and she replied to a question with an answer that has really hit home with me. The question was something like "If you had one word to describe your lifestyle what would it be?" Her answer "Respect". She said I respect my body.
Doesn't that just blow your mind. Respecting my body has never once entered my mind nor my life style. I have fed, denied, tortured (exercise), rewarded, loathed and hated my body, but respect it, never. This concept has given me a whole new outlook on life actually.
I now find that I am looking at eating, exercising and living differently. I don't really know how to explain it, but this concept has really struck a cord with me.
Who would of thought, just a little bit of R-E-S-P-E-C-T was what I needed. (I really need to get that song on my IPOD.)
