I fought and won a battle this morning. Matt wanted to buy us breakfast and so we went through Jack in the Box's drive thru. I didn't see any healthy items so I didn't get anything and just came into work and ate my oatmeal and banana for breakfast. I was sooooo proud of myself. I've been struggling so much lately trying to get back on track. It's been so frustrating. I had a great talk with my dad about it yesterday and he had some great points. I had something wonderful come into my life that I could loose. And when I get scared, I head back into old habits. So, I faced the fear of losing Matt yesterday. I can't let that fear stop me from reaching my personal weight loss goal.
We also discussed how I resist the unknown. I don't know the skinny world. I've been heavy all my life. It's scary. I don't know how to beat that part of it. I know I want and need to lose the weight, but it's scary. It's hard. All I can do is be aware of it and deal with it until I overcome it.
For now, I will continue to fight la resistance to reach my goals. I feel so much better, inside and out when I workout on a regular basis and eat right. I didn't workout today because I am major sore from my workout yesterday. But I will get at least 5 days in this week and the following weeks. I gave myself a goal yesterday to fit into my skinny jeans by January. So, here we go!!

Hey Mel...I followed your link from your myspace. I'm a blog lurker and spend a lot of time reading other peep's blogs. I must have way too much time on my hands?!? Or maybe I just like to escape every now and then. But anyhow, I'm a big fan of plain oatmeal (sweetened with raisins) and soymilk too. Resisting Jack was great. I always get a call from Ronald McDonald and I just have to tell myself about transfats and imagine those suckers clogging up my arteries. Keep it up. I'm cheering for you across the Pacific Ocean.
I'm so proud of you! I know your hard work is going to pay off. You're such an inspiration to me. I would not have had the will power to say no...
