Just Keep Swimming!

Nope I haven't disappeared into internet land in shame and embarrassment over my difficulties losing weight.  I know this is a daily struggle and I'm okay with that.  I still haven't gotten my scale because I haven't made my way to the store yet.

I saw an editorial in Glamour magazine with a NORMAL sized girl in it and it was inspiring.  She wasn't stick thin and I guess in the model world she's considered plus sized but she couldn't have been any more than a size 8 or 10.  She wasn't skinny.  She just looked good and healthy!  That's my inspiration.  I want to look healthy like her.  I guess I have to keep pushing.

Oh and I think it's funny that Dr. Oz is now talking about sugar addiction, something that I thought was a novel idea and had personally created (clearly it wasn't so novel) even going as far as calling myself "candy sober" when I stopped eating candy.  I'm happy the world knows about it because I'm pretty sure it's something that goes on in your brain.  I even tried to become candy sober again and something in my head won't let me.  I always try to rationalize that I can just eat it in moderation but as I've reiterated over and OVER again, that just doesn't work for me.  I guess I'm subconsciously stubborn in that regard.  That's my new thing--becoming candy sober again.

I'll try to be more consistent with my posting but I'll be honest--on those bad days, I just don't feel like getting on the net and proclaiming to the world that I didn't eat like I should have.  I guess that's normal but that's not fair to myself.  Weight loss comes with good and bad moments and I can't just ignore the bad.

I have to go because I'm posting this VERY late at night and I need to get up early =(

TTYL,
