Yes, you've read that right. I haven't lost an ounce in four months.
If you recall, I started a diet competition at my job, and it was supposed to end back in November, but everybody agreed to move the deadline to February, and you want to know why? Because nobody had lost any weight! How absurd is that?
Maybe we're just a bunch of "fat" people with no self-control. Maybe we're all too comfortable with the way we are to make any drastic changes. But I feel a little different than that. I'm not comfortable and I "used" to have self-control. But I have to admit that I haven't been able to diet much, and actually, every time I would think about the diet, I would eat more (what a stereotype I've become!)
But I will continue to try losing some weight, also because we've upped the entry fee to $50! But while DECEMBER IS NOT A GOOD MONTH TO DIET, I have to say that as soon as January rolls in, I HAVE TO CHANGE MY EATING HABITS, because I am sick and tired of looking the way I look (my clothes, oh my clothes! They don't fit right at all anymore!)
I just need to find a way to hold myself accountable for my dieting... lose some weight, and exercise, too, because I WANT TO BE IN SHAPE AGAIN. Period. Non negotiable. Do you hear me stomach?!?!

Hello Spender,
Don't be too hard on yourself. With our busy lives it's difficult to take the time and energy to go exercise. I would know, I have been attempting to get back into the physical condition I had prior to the "C." I keep trying resume the exercise routine I've had for over a decade - a 2-3 mile speed walk at least 4 evenings a week. I have succeeded in motivating myself all of 2 times. It's been weeks since my last attempt.
I knew a young woman who has a remarkable and healthy perspective on weight/body image. She is possibly the only woman in America to attain this. Not a skinny girl, she makes no effort to lose weight, but she has the discipline to go to the gym several times a week to stay fit and strong. I find her a most remarkable young woman who has a strong sense of self. This is a gal marches to the beat of her own drummer, in the most positive sense. She does not capitulate to societal pressure to be thin, she thinks she looks Fine. Again, remarkable.
I forgot what your original goal was, maybe in smaller increments and a longer time frame would be less daunting. Take care, Pamper yourself.
