Goodmorning all! Well, I did cheat last night, but I got up early today so maybe the few extra hours of being awake will burn off the extra 1.2 pounds I gained last night.. (I know I didnt actually gain that much, I just need a b.m. and to start!!!). So, I am going shopping tomorrow with my best friend and I plan to buy my "motivation dress".. I am going to hang it up in plain view so that when I wake up every morning I will be able to say, "today is going to be a great day and pretty soon, I'm fitting into THAT"... I need visual motivation. Pictures of myself when I was thin havent been much of a motivator, it just makes me sad to think that I let myself get to this point. The last time I lost weight I put up a dress I wanted to wear to my best friends wedding and it worked great. I'm sorry that Ive had a lousy attitude lately. I feel like I've been the "bad apple" in the barrell , If I'm not positive and motivated, what help am I to my friends?? You all mean the world to me and the last thing I want to do is bring down the group with my whining! So, I'm just gonna suck it up and move forward. I am going to go swimming again tonight because it has been working so well, and when I didnt go last night I felt like a slob. I always fel like I've acheived something after working out. OH!!! I got my first, "Wow you look great!! " compliment today from one of the mothers I havent seen in a while. I was like, "wow, your my new best friend!" It felt really good, and I'm sure thats why I have a better attitude this morning. Anyway, have a great day all and I'll chat with you tonight.. P.S. Its a bright sunny day today!!! YAY!!!

Good mornin\'. How many sizes smaller will the motivation dress be?? And where are you going to wear it? I think you just need to get past the PMSing and you will be back to your on-target, motivated, exercising queen self.
Sounds good, and you\'re not bringing anyone down. Food for me is so many things, an addiction, an antidote to a bad mood, and its so HARD TO KICK. If you want to complain, vent, vent, vent, just remember that it will get better and soon we will all be living healthy lives and a better weight, no matter what! Keep it up!
You know I had the same thought as you that I shouldn\'t be negative in my journal but then I realized You know that is the only place I have to vent and there is a reason it is called MY JOURNAL...I figured no offense but if people didn\'t like it they didn\'t have to read it but I don\'t really feel that is the case here...everyone has a bad day and it feels good to have someone tell you that it\'s going to be ok and you can handle it...we are all here for each other good or bad!!! I can\'t tell you how many times writing in my journal has saved me from totally self-destructing so if thats what it takes go for it girl!!!
