So, you ever have one of those eureka moments? Where you suddenly realize that all the talk in the world doesn’t matter, it’s when that feeling gets into you that you finally get it? I can talk all I want about what I want to do to loose weight. It’s an entirely different thing when it hits me that I have to just do this every single moment of every single day and that eventually I won’t have to think about the fact that I have to be aware of it all the time. Eventually, I’ll get to that place where it will be habit – eating right, exercising, and having a healthier attitude. But that is EVENTUALLY. For now, for today, I have to think about it all the time, in order to make conscious correct choices. EVENTUALLY I’ll be able to make unconscious correct choices. EVENTUALLY I’ll be in the habit of eating right so I won’t have to think about it every single moment of every single day. What’s nice is that it has been proven with me that when I’m around people who tend to overeat and eat things that aren’t the smartest choices, I follow the fold. My new job is filled with people who bring healthy lunches most every day, and the office doesn’t have any snacks hanging about. So I’m now surrounded by people who are like how I long to be. So this week, even when I fell off the wagon on Wednesday night, I knew what I was doing. I was conscious about it, and made that choice, and knew it was the wrong choice. However, I Made. That. Choice. I own my choices, and am being conscious of what I want every moment of every day. And I know what I want.
So it’s all good. Last week: 165.0. This week: 163.5.

I'd like to believe what you say about one day we won't have to be constantly thinking about what we're eating and how we're exercising, etc. etc. that it'll just come natural? I think it's always going to be a struggle, but I'm willing to deal with it. I don't like the consequences if I don't.... So stick with it, and who knows - maybe it will get easier for you..... Good luck

In an effort to gain control of some part of her life, Laila has decided the “secretary spread” has gone far enough. Eating well and exercising has come and gone over the years, yet consistency remains elusive. Currently a size 12-14 her goal is to be a firm and confident 8-10 in time for her husband’s birthday, December 22, 2013, and still be there for his next birthday.
