Just do it!

So, I have been up and down a lot lately about losing weight.  I felt (and my husband commented) that I was really losing weight the past few weeks.  I was sticking with not eating after dinner and I was more focused on being active (aka getting lots of housework done) daily.  I felt different.  Then, the past week or so has felt like I am ballooning.  What a bummer.  hehe  Why "hehe"?  That is just me, realizing that I am typing things as they come to mind without editing them whatsoever.  Yikes!

Although I may be feeling like I am going all over with my weight, I am going to stick with it.  If there is anything that I have learned about how to be successful in losing weight, it is that you CANNOT always go by how you feel.  I sometimes feel like I am going backwards on this but if I give up, I really will.  This currently feeling may not be the truth so I would be robbing myself if I just threw in the towel.  I will be super excited and feel proud/excited/lots of other great feelings when I see the progress and know that it was all worth the little inconvenience.  So, for now, I am just going to keep trooping on and get over this hurdle.  It's not as if it is a huge sacrifice!

Also, a little tip.  I have noticed that I am most successful when I own the good habits that I have adopted into my weight-losing life.  For example, when I set a goal to not eat late, it make it a part of me.  I don't just consider myself as a person who is not currently eating after 6 or 7 pm.  I own it and think that because it is best for me, it is me.  This may sound weird but it has helped me so much!  I don't really have to think about if I will or will not.  I already chose that when I set my goals.  I knew it was good back then so I don't need to think about it anymore.  I just do it...

And here is my own personal motivation.  I am not this fat anymore!  whoo hoo!
