Day 15

2 more pounds along with a few inches! I updated my Wednesday Weigh In. 

That 2 pound loss gave me the motivation that I needed to keep on. 

Why is it that we use food as a way to celebrate? Or as a reward? Anniversaries, Birthdays, Promotions, Grades. No matter what, we say "ooh let's go to dinner to celebrate!!" Does it just go back to my point a few post back, about food being a comfort item...our way of socializing? One of the thoughts I had when I found out I lost the 2 pounds??? OOHHH I am doing so good, maybe 1 piece of candy wont hurt. =X AND this is why I always fail. (no candy was consumed)

We have 3 birthdays in my family next month. Do I "cheat" for the special occasions? Stay strong, and drool over everyone's delicious food? Guess it depends on how bad I really want this.

25 min on the elliptical today. I try and workout when sweet pea is having her morning nap...this morning she was awake. I put her in her walker next to me, and she watched in amazement. I hope that this means she is learning early that we have to take care of the body's that we are given.

Is this not the truth??? A year ago I wasn't happy with my weight, now I would love to be that size. (yes i have self-esteem issues)

^I mean really? take me back to this! I wasn't a size 0, but I never have been. That just isn't how my body works. Thanks to the Reyenga's, I will always have a curvy backside ;)
