  • conversations out loud in my head!

    Yes, I literally said these things out loud!

    Hubby comes home for lunch. After eating, hubby grabs a darned carmel candy that was sitting on the table. I hear the celephane and envision the creamy carmel and it's sticky goodness in my mouth. ahh, sheer pleasure.. instant gratification! Hubby leaves with a kiss and I can smell that darn candy. I fix my water to take with me back to my office and I turn and spy the other carmels in a lil snack ziplock bag.

    I say outloud:

    NO! I refuse to eat you. I will NOT do it. As a matter of fact (strolling over to the table with my smaller jeans on!! and grab the bag) YOU can go meet your other buddies in the cookie jar. They are waiting for you. I do not want you. I want to be THIN and HEALTHY and HAPPY! So, in you go. (drops bag in jar) and stop calling my name because I will not answer you anymore!"

    With that, I dusted my hands and fixed me a hot cup of instant decaf coffee with a splenda flavoring.. and it's making me feel MUCH better afterwards than eating a piece of candy The feeling of instant gratificaton this way will last a whole lot longer too.

    happy me!

      I sure wish I could give to to everyone. But I dunno where it comes from. This is how I felt the last time I took on a challenge. Then after the challenge I was go happy that I stumbled. It took a few days to get back on my feet. I struggled with getting that feeling back.. not so much the eating.. the feeling really. That empowering feeling. once I hit ketosis again this time around I reached deep and pulled out that power again. If I'm making the effort to get all my water and exercise.. I certainly don't want to botch it up with eating off plan! I'd be spinning my wheels. and I dont wanna do any more exercise than I have to LOL

      Last challenge I lost 9 pounds in two weeks. If I can do that again.. I can skip on down into the 220s... then it will just be 20 more until onederland... it's been 17+ years since onederland.. and I want that so badly!

                    I'm just so happy to have found that inner strength again. Was talking to hubby last night about the goals I've set for November and a future goal for January 1, which is to be in onederland! His eyes got all misty when I said it had been 17 years since I had been under 200 and he said "wow, that will be a very special day then." AWWWW.. (fanning eyes, blinking quickly to hold back the tears even now!) He says he's devoted to help me and will encourage me all he can. I may not reach it.. but I should come pretty close by January 1!!

                      what a sweetie

                      since he said he is devoted to help you ask him to keep his treats out of your eyesight so you will nit be tempted to taste one which would lead to tasting more.

                          The little voices in our heads are what keep us on track. I've have constant conversations with myself that helped me avoid temptation. I've noticed that as my 'good habits' become stronger....the voice gets louder. Yeah for Atkins and how it is changing our attitudes about the way we eat and the actions we take to stay healthy!
