Why can't it be any easier?

Day 6 of my new healthy lifestyle, well, just plain ole' stinks! I feel like I've busted my butt watching what I eat, not eating a single thing that I shouldn't (literally nothing) and at this point I'd swear I've not lost a single pound!

I know I'm nuts. It's just my crazy self battling against the healthy food. LOL I've never in my life eaten this good. Truth is I've never set out on this journey to lose weight. I've always known I needed too but never tried. So my first try is SO SUPER HARD!

I miss sweets. Oh sweet love of my heart I miss chocolate! Reese cups, donuts (OMG DONUTS), cake, ice cream, cookies, chips, greasy burgers and fries! I know burgers & fries aren't sweets, but at this point they look mighty sweet!

I have surprised myself. I truly didn't know I had it in me to actually avoid all that bad stuff and eat right. I didn't know I had it in me to make time to exercise for at least 45 mins each day. I didn't know I had it in me to walk into a place that has my favorite food on the planet and come out with an apple and a water! I AM GOOD!! But, I'm not that good. Today is a low day for me. I'm struggling. Struggling only because I really feel that what I've done hasn't produced any results. I'm actually not struggling to say no to bad things. Like I said, I totally turned my cheek to my favorite food on the planet this morning. No, I'm struggling with the thoughts that as good as I'm being it will mean nothing when I step on that scale tomorrow.

UGH, why is our mind such a powerful thing? Maybe I'll step on the scale and will have lost 100 lbs by tomorrow. LOL Oh I crack myself up! Wouldn't that be the way to do it though? Honestly, I kinda think that's what I'm looking for. That's what my heart wants so bad and my mind is like "get over yourself that will take decades to lose."

I've got to get healthier. FOR ME - FOR MY DAUGHTER - FOR MY HUSBAND - FOR MY FAMILY!
It's just one of those rough days that I need to get through!

Tomorrow will be better!
unless the scale fails me that is hehe

I'm sure you will see a movement on the scale! But, oh my gosh, even if you don't you should be soooo proud of yourself. Just taking the step to *start* this journey is inspiring and should be applauded. One step at a time! You'll have successes and you'll have plateaus - it is ALL part of the journey. I'm so proud of you!!
