Do you hear voices or is it only me? For almost 2 months now I have had that loud mouthpiece talking to me...
“Richard you did good, take a rest”;
“Don't worry you lost enough, you should stop now”;
“So what if you don't reach your goal”;
“Why don't you have one more glass of wine?”;
“You love fries, have some more”;
“You don't need to lose that weight, you just want to”
This is the voice of treason, I have been listening to its dirty tempting advice for a while now.
Even recently when I said I wanted to reach to my goal, what did I do? Toasted my goal with more wine and all kind of junk food!
Losing weight so far has been easy, and in my mind it meant I could
do it anytime. I know how to do it, so I'll wait a bit longer... WRONG!
“Richard control yourself” the voice of reason is murmuring.
So
right NOW, not tomorrow, or any other day, right NOW, I'll get back to
my secret plan, you know the one about eating less, eating better and
exercising.
Right NOW, I'll turn the accountability meter back on. I'll weigh myself and post it right here, every Sunday. Today I was at 171.8 lbs I’m reporting it even though it’s not the official Sunday weighing day. I better lose 1.5 lb per week from now on or I'll kick the voice of treason so far out that it will need light speed to ever again get hold of me.
I'll also get back to blogging daily. It was helping me before and since there are one or two people out there who seem to be able to put up with me, I'll take total advantage of it.
I am so excited right now, I'm rising my glass of water to a better health! Anything exciting in your life? 
Oh, that little voice can be one's biggest enemy...I know mine is. Onward and upward. Congrats on refocusing your goals.
ReplyDeleteYes Rachel the treason voice is our enemy but I take full responsibilities, it didn't put anything in my mouth, I did... I am so weak LOL
DeleteSounds like a great plan. I'll add a slice of lemon to my water and raise a glass with you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha... I just heard something else you can even put ice in your glasses and it doesn't added extra calories... CRAZY!
DeleteBargaining with one's self is agonizing. It's better to just stick to food rules that work. Easier said than done on our worst days. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are right, it is agonizing! I don't do that, ever, ever, unless I have been good then I can afford a smallish slice of pie hahaha
DeleteYes! That's the best way, just go back to your good habits again and again and again!
ReplyDelete-WWE
There you are... the voice of reason commenting!
DeleteI love when you post more. Here's to your continued journey.
ReplyDeleteAnd I know Ivy that a satisfied customer is a returning customer! hahaha
DeleteThis is what I love about blogging. So much support.
DeleteI try not to get too mad at that voice. It lets me have brownies.
ReplyDeleteHa!Hn! Funny girl.
DeletePlease don't let your voice call my voice...
DeleteAnd I won't tell you who but someone has been listening to the voice twice before 6 this morning and she even is listening to the voice for a third pieces (see Ivy I can keep secret)
