Once I've started to make a little progress on my weight and have purchased a few clothing items in my larger -post-pregnancy size, my desperation to be thin ebbs a little bit. This leads to excuse making and treat eating and forgetting. I forget, if just for a few days, why it is I want to continue this new lifestyle. I forget why it is so important to stick to it now. I forget the way I want to look.
So here is my reminder to me:
I do not have limitless time to work with.
If I want energy now, I need to eat right and exercise now.
I am not happy with the way I look.
I have a closet full of fabulous clothes1-2 sizes smaller than I am now.
I want to make my amazing husband say WOW.
I want to be an example of healthy habits for my children.
Feeling healthy is worth everything.
While I slid backwards a bit this Conference weekend, I am making course corrections today and I am happy to be progressing back toward the eating habits I want to have.
Still no progress on the exercising bit. I am striving to get my milk-supply back up (not eating hardly anything for five days while I had the flu dried me up completely), but I am sure I can do some gentle exercises that, while not sweat inducing, could help me develop the habit. I will keep that in mind today.
