I haven't had the courage to weigh myself yet but we went out to eat 3 times this weekend. And I generally have been crazy snacking and having excuses for myself. Plus, I don't know what this is all about, but I don't WANT to think about it.
Excuse #1 - I don't have much food in my house. So I am now officially out of chicken, and so I am just using excuses for why I shouldn't have to plan and eat healthy. Last night we had sloppy joes because I couldn't think of anything else that wasn't chicken or eggs. I also didn't plan what I was going to eat until the last second, so I just grabbed what I could think of.
Excuse # 2 - I have been doing really well, I "deserve" to go out to eat. And not just go out to eat, go out to eat and eat whatever I want. If I would go out to eat and decide what I was having before I went etc, it wouldn't be bad at all.
So, those are my rationalizations for eating bad in the first place, at least the ones I can think of, and then it just kinda goes downhill from there. Once I get to the place where I am eating bad I can justify by saying, well I ate bad this morning blah blah blah.
So anyway what it boils down to is I don't want to do it. I want to eat whatever junk I want when I want to, and however much I want. But here is the problem, I don't like being fat anymore. I feel more self confidant, happier, healthier and I am overall a better wife and mom when I am eating good. I have been feeling good that I can fit into more clothes. Almost all stores have clothes in a size 16. I like it that I can jog on the treadmill now for a longer time. I like being more active. So while it was nice to not think about what I was eating for a few days I am back on the wagon and I feel good about it!
All I know is that there are times when I forget why I want to lose weight, and the work that I have been putting into it seems like it's just too much. But then 5 days of eating junk reminds me, that feeling better physically is totally worth the time and effort. So, in the spirit of getting back on track, I am going to the grocery store tonight to fill my fridge with yummy fruits and veggies, and I will be back with the plan!!

Yay! I'm glad you're back! I don't know about everyone else, but I've definitely used those excuses that you listed (plus about a thousand other ones) when I didn't feel like focusing on losing. But you're back and that's what matters!! We can totally do this!!!
