Darned Gummy Worms!

I'm kind of mad at myself.  Those gummy worms that I mentioned in the last post and said that I had on Sunday.... well, I indulged and ate more yesterday.  I didn't moderate like I my goal was and to top it all off, I looked at the package and realized that only 4 (yes 4) were a serving and those four little things that made up a serving were 140 calories.  I wanted to spit out the one that was already in my mouth, but just used that as a lesson.  When you're trying to eat in moderation you can't pick and choose which things to moderate.  I did so well last week with moderating everything, but those gummy worms threw me off track.   It's okay though.  I can overcome the gummy worm horror I inflicted upon myself the last 2 days and just start over again. 

I also decided, instead of thinking about this massive amount of 70 lbs I intend on shedding off of my body, I need short term goals.  Every week I lose weight, that's my new baseline and I'm only trying to lose weight from that new number.  I mean this weight is staying off for good so that's reasonable!  I started yesterday thinking, "this week I'm going to conquer 2 more pounds" instead of, "wow I lost 2 lbs last week, I only have 68 more to go."  Yes, I realize these are small steps most people have already established, but I must say when you have really high ambitions, it's easier to preach than practice.

Alrighty, off I go into the world that awaits me! 

Be safe and beware of the gummy worms,
Elizabeth
