Getting there!!

I went to weigh in today & lost 2.1kg (4.6lbs). I have now lost 37.6kg (83lbs) total & 26.1kg (57.5lbs) this year. I have a big night out planned for the 10th September with my workmates as it is almost the end of the footy tipping season. I want to get to my half way mark for the year by then so I have 3.9kg (8.6lbs) to lose to make that goal. I CAN DO IT!!! It will be difficult but I know that I can. Time to pull out all stops though I think!!

I went to a baby shower today. There was lots of lovely, yummy, delicious food. There were cupcakes & party pies & cheerios & bikkies with dip & chippies & lots of other yummy goodies. All sitting on the table calling out to be eaten. I was asked a few times if I wanted something to eat & the hostess brought food around to all of us as you do at parties. I really don't know how, but I resisted every single time. I sat myself as physically far away from the food as I could get & sipped on my water. I still can't believe that I left that house without a single thing other than water passing my lips. And I was there for 3 hours!! I just figure that if I want to make my goal this year, then I have to make some sacrifices & I keep reminding myself that it is not forever. You can't be good all the time. You can't go through life not ever letting anything bad pass your lips. I don't believe that we have to do that in order to be healthy & I think that we deserve to have our indulgences in our life. I do know though, that if I want to make my goal, then for the short term, I need to not indulge & I am happy to do that knowing that one day, I will be able to & not feel guilty about it.

Anyway, just checking in with you all because I haven't posted in a while. I will let you know in a couple of weeks if I made my goal for our work do.

Until then, take care & I hope you are winning the battle!!
