I Found My Motivation
But before I go into that, I want to say something regarding all the comments the other day. The situation resulted, I believe, from people (myself included) forgetting that because we have a certain tone or inflection in our head when we write, depending on how the other person reads it or even depending on their mood, it may not be interpreted in the way we intend. This is a problem with using the whole electronic system to communicate. That and I was, I admit it, in a piss poor mood the other day, in case you didn’t notice.
On a happier note, I feel motivated again. I don’t know what did it, what exactly it was that kicked me in the rear, but I’m not going to knock it. I remembered that the “average” American woman is 163 lbs and I was looking at my Yahoo profile and thought “man, I really want to change that to average”. So, I’ve decided that I’m shooting for 179 by 8/31 and 169 by 9/30. Hopefully then I can hit “average” by my son’s b-day on the 15th. That’s roughly 10 lbs. a month, or 2.5 lbs a week. Totally doable, I think. Means hard work and no more crap foods (well, maybe occasionally), but I’m going to get this done, damn it! I’m shooting for Christmas as the date to hit my goal of 152. It’s gonna be close, but I’m crossing my fingers and buckling down. Should’ve seen me out there busting my butt on my noon walk. All sweaty and puffing along. Been awhile since I pushed myself that hard, but it felt good.

First I want to say I understand completely. We have had a few family meetings with my family because of emails and how maybe they were written to seem one way but were read completely different. Did that myself yesterday to someone. Typed it sent it then duh read what i had typed and OMG I didn’t mean that!!
Anyway, Way to go on getting your motivation back!! Looks like you are doing a great job!! Keep up the hard work!! You will make your goal!!
Send me a little of your new found motivation. So glad for you. Once in awhile we forget why we are on this journey and just crave food! You are right, back to the drawing board. Hang in there. Marge
Glad you found your motivation!
Yes, I want to change that average a few points, too!
You had me worried there for a second. I thought that maybe I had said something off-key for a moment. It happens to the best of us. I am glad that you found renewed motivation. I think that the 10 lbs a month is doable also. Good luck and I’ll be here to help support you!
