Goodbye 5lbs!
Nov 25 2008 11:34

Five lbs down. A buttload to go... literally. It felt great today to wake up and be 161. Especially because I know I'm doing it right. But then there are some things that still make me nervous, I don't want to become too comfortable. That's when I let myself slip. I make excuses and rationalize extra calories or fast food. I need to realize that I'm NOT done yet. I'm not ready to start slacking on this. I'm not ready to give up on myself. I don't want to let old habits come back... lose 10 pounds, maintain for 2 months, lose 5 pounds... same... I feel so bad every time that happens. So while I am happy to take off that weight, I have to stay focused. I have to be held accountable, whether I do it or someone else keeps me on track.I'm not worried about this week. I'm worried about next week. I'm worried about staying on after 10 lbs. I need to stay motivated.

Wish me luck!
