I haven't had much of a chance to check in. LAst week I lost a half pound, but this week I am concerned about a weight gain. I have given into everyone else this past week. I forgat to put myself first. I should say I let myself think of others before myself. It is what it is and I should be happier with my overall results.  I have been frantically trying to stay caught up with my college homework. I feel like I am in a losing battle and now time is winning out.  This up coming weekend will be hard. We are planning a small family vaction over the next four days. I know that food will be an issue. I really believe that I need to put my goals first. I am planning to take some healthy food to compensate for bad food choices. Yet, I know that there are buffets in my future. We are planning to go to Laughlin and that is pretty much the main food choice. I am doing this because I am worth it. I like feeling good about the wway my clothes are fitting differently.I am a beauitiful person inside and outsied.I am a postiive role model for my children.I beleive eathing healthier and incorportaing exercise is the key to my weight loss success.
