This is the title of my diet journal today…..This is how long I have been committed to giving my diet my all…This is how I get through each and every day…I MUST hold myself accountable in each and every way every day.  See for me If I slip up I have to write it down at the end of the day and hold myself accountable, I have to hold myself accountable for my weekly totals! I try and eat healthy and lowfat, and stay on track.  When I knew I wanted to lose weight, I knew it would take my all to accomplish my goal, and why fool myself to say I was on a diet with out committing to it! I don’t want to set myself up for failure, so I didn’t start my diet until I was 1000% ready for the tasks I set forth for myself, and now I have an awesome gift for myself this holiday season, A skinnier me! The new scale I bought today-(I am a fanatic about weighing myself, I have bought 3 scales now, and thats in addition to the regular scale that I had….And now I am on scale #3…finally I found one that will remember my last recorded weight, present weight, bmi, and over weight/healthy/obese/underwieght categories)anyways the new scale I bought today says that I was 153.2 tonight, and thats why I bought the new one, the old new one was 2lbs off (not in my favor) and I was sure of it, but I stuck with it for a while to make sure, lol, but the new one says 153.2 for nighttime weight, so I am very excited about my morning weight because My goal weight is 150, and how nice would that be to accomplish my goal by the Morning of CHRISTMAS!  5 mos. is not a long time to lose almost 70 lbs but I have given up a lot! I gave up ALL red meat, ate pork only  4 times since July, ate only chkn, fish, and shrimp nightly, no sodas anymore, diet or regular, no junk food, unless it has under 5g of fat per serving, I have eliminated all pasta, rice dishes beyond 1/2 cup 3x’s a week, I have taken up a love for veggies, and I have driven myself only to the taste of water entering my mouth.  Flavored water it is, but hey I must have some luxury, and its ff, 0 calories!  So my hubby asks me last night what am I gonna do once I hit my goal weight? Uh I said well, I am going to continue to eat as I am now, and stay healthy, I get this a lot, people say stop losing weight, but how can I stop when I am just eatting lowfat, and watching my calories, I GET FULL every day! I have trained my body to eat less, and if I begin to gorge myself, as I have in the past I know the lbs will return so This is what I have to do now.  Will I stop at 150 probably not, I have averaged about 2lbs a week loss, so I assume I will stay up with that until my body reaches a plateu…and hey if 1 piece of pizza hits my mouth I know how to stay on track the rest of the week, so I will do just fine!…Thanks for listening to me rave tonight, love my BS buddies! Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to all of you!

Lots of Love Angie
