True Life: I love coconut shrimp
YAY! My first video! Unfortunately, it's about something I'm not necessarily proud of, but HEY! It's real life, and sh*t happens. Plus, like I've said before, take it one day at a time, and there's always tomorrow!
I loved this video and I needed to hear this cause when I slip up I'm so hard on myself but yes it is true that there is always tomorrow.:)Your doing so well and I'm so proud and excited for ya!Congrats on the 7lbs!!
Makenzie!! Thank you for doing this and letting us all follow your journey! I feel like I have tried so many diets and failed every time. I have tried to tell people when I'm dieting to make myself more accountable. I have tried not telling people so that I can just surprise everyone when I start losing weight. It is a never ending battle for me. I have no motivation or self control. I would have eaten all of the shrimp and potatoes and biscuit! I am so proud of you. 7 pounds is awesome! Please share what you are eating. I never know what to eat. Also how many times a week are you working out? I want 2013 to be my year as well! I am so glad you shared all of this because I have the same struggles :)
If I have the willpower to not bring it home in the first place, then I don't need the willpower while I'm at home. Simple. Not easy, but simple. I can rationalize a box of leftovers like nobody's business. "What, am I going to eat WEEK OLD LEFTOVERS for my next cheat meal? NO! I should eat them now! Before they go bad! And I don't want to waste food, right? I mean, I paid for them, I should eat them!" Or, "If I take them home, then I'll eat them when I shouldn't, so I should eat them all now, here at the restaurant. Even though I'm full. Can't let them go to waste!" I don't want to think about how much weight I'm carrying today that I put on in the name of not wasting food or getting my money's worth. It's taken me far too long to realize that my health and my happiness are more important. Three months ago, I weighed what you weighed at the beginning of IUTBF. I've lost about 20 pounds since then, and I struggle with it every day. Thanks for doing this. It helps. Keep it up!
