I'm Gonna Miss M & M's

Ok, the thought of going and weighing myself for this causes me physical pain- which I suppose is why I'm here right?

*Pause while I run to the bathroom scale*

Gawd- 223 lbs. Weird, I'm in a metric country (Canada) but I don't know how to convert that. Anyhow that was crazy depressing.

I think my journey, while wanting to lose weight, is to also love myself regardless of whether or not I ever lose an ounce.

Although the fact that I was handed a slice of chocolate cheesecake when I got to work today - regardless of how nice it was to be thought of, won't really be helping me.

So: I am now bussing to work, which involves a lot more walking to and from bus stops. I also work in a HUGE institution now that involves more stairs and long distances to get to other people's offices/departments. So that should help.

AND, I should also fall in love with my workout DVDs again. I cannot promise the gym, as I hate hate hate it there. Makes me feel crappy about myself.

As for food- maybe more home-made meals, fewer M&M's. It's all about baby steps, right?

Thanks for letting me be a part of this group ladies!

Baby steps is right. If I think of how much weight I should lose I immediately freak and decide it's all too hard and will take me forever.
But every single person I've heard who has lost weight says you set tiny goals and just aim for a few kilograms or pounds at a time.

Rome wasn't built in a day, right!!!

p.s I love cheesecake too, it's hard to say no to the cheesecake.

I got offered a free cinnamon doughnut today. It was fresh.. still warm.

Damn it was hard to say no to that!

If you want a sweet replacement try the teas I posted about a few back. The site is Australian, but there is an international link.

You can do it!
You wait - give it six months and we're gonna be posting about the dress sizes we've all dropped and the awesome healthiness we're experiencing.

Yay us!
