Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 29 April 2015

Forkit! Yes I said forkit! I have come to the conclusion that I have two goals this year. The first is to get down to 130 lbs. That gives me 53.9 lbs to lose in 244 days. Yes I counted them. No seriously I counted them. No not the lbs the days. I looked at the calendar and I counted them. Granted I accidently closed outlook in the middle of counting and I got distracted in the middle by a phone call so I could be wrong. But I attempted to count the days. Now that I think about it a better plan would have been to count the days already gone this year but I counted the days until December 31st.

I'm going to reach this goal by working my butt off and not slipping up with splurge days where I shove everything imaginable into my pie hole. It doesn't even have to be something I really want, sometimes I just shove food in just because I know I shouldn't and sometimes I don't like not being able to do something. I swear my butt is another personality that takes over from time to time in an attempt to widen it's space.

So from now on when that little voice tells me to go get a second slice or to take the big piece of cake I'm telling that little voice to go Fork itself. Because.. I can't curse. It's all outlined in the challenge I'm in. No cursing and no nose picking. Today that little voice keeps telling me to go get a candy bar. I think it was upset that the scale kept it's recent dip for 2 days in a row. Hopefully tomorrow it shows another drop so I can really piss off that inner fat chick.

I'm a strong, capable, determined chicky. I will reach 130 lbs. I'm not wasting another day to get their either. I keep hearing the phrase "You never know how much time you have." So starting today I'm taking advantage of every day I've got. I'm losing the weight. I'm going to feel better about myself and get healthy and I'm writing a freaking book.

Good for you!! You're started on the downward trend so keep going. I have that voice too that tells me to shove food in my face. Today some evil soul brought cookies into the office and set them right in front of my desk. I've resisted so far and I have a yogurt to eat instead of the cookies, but it's hard when that voice tells you to grab the container and just eat them all like the cookie monster. Keep that determination and you'll reach both goals! When you write that book hopefully someone publishes it because I have to read it! :)

Do it. "You never know how much time you have" is so true, and my experience is that every day is 1000% better when you are lighter and wearing cute clothes, I smile way more, have the confidence to know and speak my mind more, and people pay more attention to me, are nicer and listen to what I say more. Every day is sooo much more fun. If you slip up, log it and compensate the rest of the week so your week comes out ok. It worked for me. You can do it.

Definitely DFW ignore that little voice. I'm giving into mine this week but back on track soon. I will watch every morning weigh in and adjust if I need to. I decided it's ok, there are times like that, I get it, been there. Difference is I'm at goal. When I wasn't I'd argue with that little voice, and win almost every time. Certainly at times that little voice would win, not for long. YOU can do this.

You show that little voice who's the boss! And if every so often you feel like giving in to the little voice, just log it and move on. Always try to keep a little wiggle room for a treat, it is so much more satisfying than denying yourself.
