That was great and so, so true. I think I have to go talk to the mirror and buy some shiny gold stickers at Wal-Mart now.

The least fun I've ever had dieting was when I was doing LA Weight Loss. The staff were not trained very well, there was way too much broccoli involved, and I was constipated all the time. Not too mention the cost - very expensive!

The most fun I've ever had dieting was...let's face it, dieting sucks. It's not fun.

I wouldn't mind it if my head didn't get in the way so much. It's such a mental game for me and most of the time I lose. It's hard for me to stay on track EVERY DAY. I get rebellious and then I eat whatever I want, then I get mad at myself for not having more self discipline.

If dieting were simple, and it worked the first time you did it, I wouldn't mind it at all.

I feel like I'm meeting with a friend and we are going to share a secret. I revel in the moment, and then I feel a little guilty after I'm done. The only time I really eat in secret is if I don't want to share something. For example, I might sneak some chocolate chips because I don't want my kids to see because then they will all want some and we'll be out of chocolate chips! I also eat in secret if it's something I don't want my husband to see me eating - like a second helping of dessert or something like that.

I would always eat in secret if it's something that would trigger comments from the ones close to me. I don't like my husband's comments and definitely hate my mother's! So if my mum or my husband are around, I'd probably do most of the eating when they have to leave the room. Sometimes I find it exhausting. :)

I can so relate. I was all alone last night and so tempted for that second helping of dessert. But, I held strong. You have such thoughtful insights. I love reading your journals.

So my fall from grace was pretty hard, but I think I'm starting to pull myself up again. I've been making conscious decisions about what I'm eating instead of letting my tastebuds dictate what goes in. I made brownies for the hubs the other day, and I'm happy to say that I haven't had any for the last two days - that's pretty major for me. I went to the store yesterday and stocked up on lots of good fruits (I love summer!) and healthy snacks that I can bring to work. One thing that has me puzzled is that I seem to be getting hungry every couple of hours. Not sure if it's because my meals and snacks are smaller or if it's because my metabolism is revving up ever so slightly. Either way, it's not a big deal, I'm just sort of curious about it.

I have a run or a walk planned for tonight - which one I do depends on how I'm feeling (got my "Lady Time" today) - hopefully I'll be ready for week5 Day 3 (the 20 minute run!).

I just finished Week 5Day 2 of C25K and I am super pumped. Even though I'm not running a full 30 minutes yet, I feel ready for my 5k on Saturday!! I think this day was easier than Day 1. And I think I figured out that the secret to running is to NOT think about running WHILE you are running. I played little word games with myself while I was running and the run was over before I knew it. This is the best I have felt after a run since I started. :)
