What ARE you wanting to accomplish?...Hmmmmmm. Well, plan for it!!!
My goal this week.... I want to keep going in the right direction. Try not to stumble.....if I do....brush myself off.....go again. I will journal to a fault as I usually do. I'm addicted to it. I love knowing where I am. I guess as a lifetime member you don't REALLY have to keep track of every bite~ Well I think that is horse doodoo. I am accountable for every bite I take. Of course there are added things you don't think about....seasonings etc...extra things like that. Were human...That's OK!! Everything adds points. That is why you have your extra points each week! I also am going to lay off this new dip I'm loving. I am eating it a little too much. I count it, but I need to slow down. Listen to your little voice~~~~ It knows A LOT!!
Your goals are important to you, yet to be successful, you need to be realistic about how to set those goals. Don't put too much pressure on yourself to make huge changes over night. If it took you ten years to gain 50 pounds, don't pretend that you can lose 50 pounds in three months. You can, however lose five to 15 pounds in three months. Think along similar lines for changing from junk food to healthy food. If you eat a big bowl of ice cream and chocolate syrup every night after dinner, it might be tough to give that up completely and forever. Start with replacing that bowl of ice cream with a bowl of fresh berries two or three times per week. Keep your goals reasonable and you can have the fun of reaching them quickly and setting new ones.
It is good to give yourself a little nudge now and then. Remember those reasons you have for going on a healthy diet? Write those reasons down on a small note card and tuck that card into your purse or wallet. You may not see it every day, but you will find it often enough to remind you about why you are watching your diet. Another option is to find a weight loss quote you like and use it as a screen-saver on your computer.
Be Good to Yourself~~~~~~~~~~ most important!!!
We all slip up now and then. That's OK. If you fall off the healthy foods wagon, don't beat yourself up over it. Tell yourself you will do a better job with your next meal and when that next meal rolls around, choose something healthy like baked chicken with lots of green vegetables. Congratulate yourself for eating a healthy meal again and know that you will do it again at the next meal.
