OK, don't laugh. But I have found a new way to fight any temptation that comes my way, like if I am grocery shopping or walking past the huge bowls of candy around every corner at work. When I see that bowl of candy, vending machine of aisle in the store, I thought to my self, "No, I don't need that, it will contribute to my obesity"... I can honestly tell you even when I was really thin (120-125 pounds) I always hated that word obese. 
I realized that when I would think that to my self, it will contribute to my being obese I wouldn't want it. It has worked really well for me. I am a chocoholic and have had a very hard time fighting urges to mess up "just this once". I have found that when I see something tempting, I think of how that one thing will completley throw me off what I am trying to ahieve and again contributing to my obesity!!
Honestly, some of you should give it a try. I was grocery shopping on my lunch break today and was checking out. Candy bars all around me and I thought, nope not gonna do it, not worth it. I am also thinking about summer coming. And possibly wearing something else other than a heavy black long sleeve shirt and jeans. Maybe I can wear a tank and shorts like I have wanted to for a couple years now and not be mortified to do so.
Goals, goals, goals... Everyday I keep them in mind! You know my other goal, I hide from pictures, holidays birthdays you name in. I run away or get really embaressed. I am a very pretty person but I am not comfortable in my body right now and I HATE being in pictures. I feel like I ruin them or something. When I reach my goal, I want to get family portraits done with my two kids. I have wanted that the past few years but haven't yet. I know I will this year.
My kids drive me to face the fact that I am overweight, out of shape, unhealthy. They are my # 1 reason to change my ways. I want them to be juct as proud of me as I will be of myself.
GOOD LUCK FELLOW SECOND TIMERS
