A Day Of Realization
Sunday, December 25, 2011 at 6:02 AM filed under Weight Loss postings
Today, I have come to the realization that I need to make a change to my eating habits for myself..my marriage and my daughter. I always swore that I would never be overweight after having my daughter..never wear sweat pants as a mom..but here I am after three years of my daughter was born and she will be four in Feb. I love wearing sweats over jeans bc they do not feel as tight as the Jeans. Funny thing is that I gained less in my pregnancy than after having my daughter. I can not believe that I let myself not make good choices healthwise but there is no sense looking backwards ...only forward. I want to look more attractive for my husband. I have started to notice that I have leaned on food a lot to comfort myself and that as many moms tend to do..have given everything to my family but when it comes to me I tend to shortchange myself. My mother did that...she always tended to everyoone in our family and forgot about herself. I want to be a role model and teach my daughter how to take care of herself and that it is okay to take care of herself and her health.
I am going to set mini goals for myself,...like 5 pound weight loss. If I look at the whole picture..losing 50 pounds..then I get overwhelmed.
The summer is going to be coming before I know it. Last summer I was wearing shorts and tshirts to the beach and was uncomfortable. I do not want to be that way this summer. I want to wear cute dresses and not have to wear pants in the sweltering heat. I no longer want to worry about what I can wear.
I have whole closet full of clothes to wear proir to losing weight on weight watchers. I have lost 40 pounds previously to having my daughter.
I realize I have to be disciplined and committed to taking care of myself...stopping and pausing to make good choices. That it goes hand in hand. I do be hard on myself when I eat something not good and it is discouraging bc I think I have to be perfect at what I eat all the time, but with Weight Watchers that is not true.
I am looking for on online buddy to share advice with...encourage each other....
