Sorry, no Memory Monday today...Instead, this is what I'm thinking about today:
Today I feel like:
My mind is at war with itself
I will never make it to my goal of 100 pounds lost
I have no idea how I got this far.
Eating is an addiction that is hard to shake because you can't go "cold turkey"
I shouldn't be blogging any more, because who wants to hear me whine and flounder and never succeed? That's not inspiring.
I saw some people I don't see often this weekend. They said very nice things about my weight loss. They are nicer to me than I am to myself a lot of the time.
I like Thanksgiving more as an adult than I did as kid. In addition to spending time with my family that is much more precious to me now that it is not a constant in my life, every year I get to see some great friends around this time. I spent quality time with the whole England family and one of my favorite former youth girls this weekend. Plus, fitness guru and WU chick Stefanie is flying in for Turkey Day. On Wednesday we're going to knock out a great workout together and enjoy every Rock Hill native's favorite local restaurant, the White Horse. It's pretty much shaping up to be a great week.
This Thanksgiving will be very special. Though you've lost a lot (of weight) you have even more to be thankful for this year. Better health, friendships, clothing. :)
ReplyDeleteAnyone who struggles with weight loss dreads this weekend, but we can do it!!
I hate that you feel like you shouldn't be blogging anymore! perfect isn't inspiring. The fact that you have struggles and that you have worked SO HARD is what's inspiring about your story. The fact that you have doubts makes you accesible. You are not the first, friend, and you will not be the last- but you are my favorite and my most inspiring weight loss story to tell. I am so proud of you! After Charlotte is born and I am working to lose weight I know that you will be a great resource for me. I love you!
