bad day....

I feel bad but I cheated today. We made some homemade jerky and I just couldn't help myself. I brought my son to the movies and the smell of that delicious, ooey, buttered popcorn made me sneak a few handfuls. UGHHHHHHHH. Back to the ole liquids tomorrow.

I have to hit that loss of 10% OR I can't have surgery. I can not negate all that I am doing by sabotaging myself.

I have a goal. I have to keep up; as my son says, "mom, it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change." One I am making for him, to see him grow up and someday be able to see my grandkids.

It is a lifestyle change. Something that you can live with for the rest of your life.

Can you live with hating yourself and feeling guilty for enjoying a little tasty food? I couldn't.

DO NOT diet or allow yourself to have the dieting mentality. Diets have end dates and if you avoid foods that you love, you will only crave them more.

There are no bad foods when eaten in moderation.

Just cut your portions a little or substitute foods with something just as tasty but more healthy.
