No that is no misspelling in the title. I have been doing some deep thinking lately. For a long time now I have said I was the Happy Fat Housewife. I say this with a smile on my face, mostly because I have avoided looking at myself as much as possible. There is not a single full length mirror in my apartment. Honestly I am just a fat housewife who has avoided seeing what she really looked like and in her head is skinnier than she really is.
I need to do something. Winter is coming (quicker than I would like since it is supposed to snow 3-5 inches overnight tomorrow night) and with winter usually comes the winter blues. I get sad in the winter because I feel so stuck. I have done so many diets and simply not been able to follow through. That is my real problem, following through. I start out great and then have a day of binge eating and simply give up instead of working through my step back and taking the next day for what it is, a new day.
So starting next week Wednesday will be "Weight Loss Wednesday." A place where I hold myself accountable for the times I slip, and the place where I give myself credit for what I did. No matter how small. It isn't going to be an easy journey, and there will be times I slip up (date night and my trip to NYC for one) but I will not let a few slip ups cause me to spend the whole winter avoiding the mirrors and hiding in sweatpants.
Spring is a time for new beginnings, I hope that I can reveal a smaller me as well.
You know you can do it!! It's hard, but so worth it. If you want any help let me know! I never thought I'd love roasted veggies as much as I do and they've now become a staple of my diet. 28 lbs. lost as of this morning since June 1st!
ReplyDeleteMy best suggestion is to track your calories online. That's the only thing that really helped me besides drinking only water and coffee in the morning.
