Talk with myself

By bandedsheri

· 277 views

Today I had to have "the talk" with myself. I said "Self, why aren't you losing weight?" She answered honestly, "I haven't worked out in a week. I have lost my motivation, and I am sneeking food." I know who my worst enemy is. There is no justification for slacking. If you are tired, get on the treadmill, if you are hungry, drink some water or eat a protien bar. Come on Sheri! I have lost 57 pounds since my surgery on June 30th, 2010. It is the most I have ever lost and I feel like I am stuck. I know this is not satisfaction because I have 110 more to go. So I say, "Self, strap on those shoes, make your weekly plan and pull your head out of your rear! You've got work to do today!"

    Thanks Banded - I think I will just post this note throughout the house. It sounds like the conversations I am afraid I will be having with myself. Going for banding end of Sep and I'm working on the mental gear up to succeed.
