I'm still not sure how I continue to lose weight as I have made consistently poor food choices both in terms of nutritional content and calorie quantity for weeks now. That said, what I do have is very jiggly bits all over. Depending on the vanity sizing I am somewhere between and Medium and Large, sizes 10 to 12. Even within those sizes, there is still a lot of back fat, thick middle, huge saddle bags, etc. This is a result of not working out AT ALL. I keep saying I need to correct that but have not yet done so. I will not lose sight of how far I have come and I have quite a lot of confidence in my appearance because of that journey, but I know I have a way to go yet.
In an attempt to get myself back on track, I have found a new mantra. When this journey started 9.5 months ago, what helped me bypass the bad foods and motivated me to work out at least a few times a week was "London". I wanted to look fairly good and, more importantly, feel good about myself for that trip. Mission accomplished. But now that it has passed, much of the motivation has gone. So, now I have "Auggie". This is the name of a character in a TV show I like. He is handsome, intelligent, moral, loyal, caring, patriotic, athletic, funny, insightful and passionate (just to name a few outstanding qualities). Any time he finds a new romantic interest on the show it makes me smile as the character is one that makes you want to see him happy and in love. I realized last night that he is just the kind of man I would want to be with. For all his good qualities, however, this character would not be immediately drawn to a woman who is not well put together. He would have no problems with curves and does not need her to be an athlete, but I could not see him enjoying a woman with an overabundance of squishy bits. (Yes I know this is a TV Character, but this is my read of who that character would be.) So, if he is the kind of man I would like in my own life, I have to respect him enough to be the kind of woman he would want in his. This morning as I sped past the pastries, I gave a mental brush off and said "Auggie".
This just may help!
