I can do it!!!

Day 7 (from the book) says I can do it!! Basically this one is about being your own cheerleader. Not just knowing you can do it, but massive self reinforcement, actually saying "I can do it!" to yourself, even out loud. Say it, write it, believe it!!! It also talks about finding others who have done it and reading their stories and then saying, "if they can do it, so can I!" I like this one because I am a HUGE believer in the positive. I think if you have a positive attitude, a "can do!" attitude that you can really do just about anything. At 3FC, my home away from home, there are so many amazing people who have lost the weight and kept it off. I need to go and re-read some of these stories daily to remind myself it can be done. I can't wait to be one of those people!!!

Yesterday was a good day. My new swimsuit (I got the midnight blue) came in and it looks so much better than my old faded one. It's a little snug, but does fit. I decided to keep it, so that as the weight falls off over the next few months, it will still fit. They are so expensive.

Today the eats are planned and I will go the YMCA after work, so it should be another good day. :)

I am so grateful for this bet at work. It is really keeping me on the straight and narrow. Most days I wake up and just do it, but when it gets tough or I want that extra serving, the bet is what keeps me in line. My hope is that I can get enough weight off on this bet that after it's over, I will just keep doing what I've been doing!
