I

There is no video this week.  I haven't been doing well.  I am not sure why.  I haven't felt the pull, like I did the first few months.  I think when the weight loss comes off so slowly, that a person feels that it isn't worth it.  If you try so hard and it doesn't make a difference, the why bother?  Then one little snack won't hurt.  Then two.  Then three.  And pretty soon, a person is right back, eating all the crap that she used to eat.

I need to refocus.  I need some motivation.  I need something.  Any encouragement would be helpful!

Thanks!

A very interesting, honest article about the results of extreme weight-loss: HERE. Kind of shows the things that TV programs like The Biggest Loser don't reveal.  Like the tight tank tops the contestants wear AFTER they have lost lots of weight- all tucked in and contained.  Before the weight loss, everything is showing and hanging!!

I won't be weighing in this week.

It doesn't take much to break the momentum.  A bit of stress, an upset, something in your life that isn't right. 

I am still exercising, which is good but the past week hasn't been as good food-wise.

This was my supper last night.  So I know I am still doing well but we did order pizza on Sunday- which isn't good but I know that I didn't eat like a pig, which is what I used to do.

I made homemade granola bars this morning.  I got the recipe from Food Doodles. 

Now they go into the freezer to harden up.

Onward and upward.  Or downward, really!
