Discouraged...

Ok, Ok...I'm sorry I haven't wrote in a few days. I'm just so ashamed of myself. I haven't stuck to my diet...healthy eating...life change...new me...blah blah blah, at all and I just don't want to tell anyone. I could lie and write about all the healthy, wonderful foods I've discovered. I could tell everyone I've already lost 10 pounds but that would defeat the purpose of this blog. What good is this blog if I'm still not accountable to anyone and I don't make any progress. In that case I could just take up knitting and not have to come up with things to say, exept to myself. I see all these people on line and their blogs about how they've done such great things with weight loss and I feel like such a looser! Even my blog partner is passing me right up and is doing great! (I'm proud of you Olivia) I see people everywhere I go who are in shape and look great and it makes me feel so lousy! AND, to add to my feelings of ugliness, I'm getting some serious wrinkles around my eyes! SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!! WHY CAN'T I GET CONTROL OF THIS? I feel SO fat and ugly. Yes, I know Skinny Mini...It just has to click, I know, I know...

Today is Monday and I usually do pretty good on Mondays. Today for lunch I had some chicken and veggies. Fatty Patty told me about these microwave steam bags and I thought I'd give them a try. It was so easy and tasted really good! I added a chicken breast, some sliced zuchinni and squash, a dash of salt and pepper and that's it. You seal the bag, put it in the microwave for 5 minutes and it's done! The chicken is cooked, the veggies are perfect, and it tastes pretty good too! If anyone has any recipes for these steam bags please let me know!

Well...I'm off to the grocery store to try, try again...

While you're at the store, pick up a big bag of pre-washed salad greens and a low-calorie salad dressing. At each meal, make sure half of your plate is salad.

Protein will keep you full, so buy as much skinless chicken breast as you can. We marinate and barbecue it. You can buy pre-made marinades that are really yummy.

Last, buy some 100-calorie chocolate bars. Eat one (just one) every night. Deprivation doesn't work.

You know what Lisa, my little Mrs. ButterCream, all you can do is try, try, try again, until it does "click." Think about the little victories you have had. When is the last time you took a chicken breast and veggies and cooked it in the microwave and said it tasted good? And the fact that you aren't lying and writing what everyone will think sounds good, is great, because in truth, you aren't accountable to anyone, but yourself, and you obviously know that, or you would have lied on here. Sometimes falling down, is the only thing that makes us want to get up and do it right till we get it right. It really is the click, and you will get there. Part of the "problem," for lack of a better term, is that you are happy, and you do like your life, and have a husband who loves you anyway you are. So it is really all about YOU and when you are ready to make the commitment. Trying what you did today is a step to show you can do the good for you stuff, and like it! Read my next blog. I love you!
