Practice what you preach, Sisah and have a little faith

Right now, I blog for myself.  I'm hoping to (one day) be one of *you people* who can dispense advice rather than cheering you on from the sidelines but for now ... it's all about me.


I'm on track to loose just another single pound this week so I'm reminded of my own post - be happy with small losses.  Or a loss is a loss or some other platitude of happiness.  


Oh, and I don't pass on all sugar.  Someone brought to work yesterday homemade cupcakes with an icing I had never tasted before. DE-VINE.  These things were as big as your head.  I ate most of it and really am happy that I didn't inhale the entire thing (plus one for later).  See, progress. See, I blog for myself ... just to remind myself of this entire journey towards overall good health. I want to be the person that eats to live ... not the other way around.


Might as well put my I'm Thankful For: out there right now ... my faith.  I truly believe that 'I'm at where I'm suppose to be'.  Which, right now is in the bedroom getting ready for that 'place I am suppose to go'.

  1. I don't plan to give up sugar or goodies. I want to eat to live not live to eat like I have been doing all of my life. But I'm still going to enjoy the wonderfully yummy sweet goodies just not every day multiple times a day like I have in the past.

  2. I think treats are important. You never see skinny people not eat anything bad for them. They just don't eat 12 of them.

  3. I agree with moderation. I have a weakness for cupcakes.

  4. Amen sista! This is your journey and you are the on who has to live it. And I don't plan on giving up all my sugar either :)

  5. I don't think you it is realistic to expect that you won't ever have sugar again...that is a recipe for a binge (IMHO). My theory is that if you really want it and have thought through it (so it's deliberate rather than just eating without thinking), then go ahead and eat it and savor every bite of it!

    This is your journey and you have to walk it in the way that works best for you...any scale movement in a downward direction is a good thing and should be celebrated!

    You're doing great, girl!!

  6. well goodness :) I haven't given up sugar.

    I still blog for me...Ok maybe I give advice sometimes but usually only regarding something I figured out along the way.

    and I am not sure I will ever eat to live...food is good :)

  8. It really is great to review your own blog to see your progress. When I feel like I haven't done enough, I re-read it and realize how much I've lost already.

    Now...what kind of icing was this? ;)

  10. Cupcakes are my worst enemy.. I bought mini cupcakes which slide through my band such a bad idea.

  11. I don't blame you, I blog for myself, too! It's the only way you'll want to stick with it, in my opinion.

    And maybe a little advice thrown in when I think anyone's interested in reading it. ;)

  12. You definitely have to blog for you! We have to learn moderation, because we can't always stay away from things that are bad from us, but we can't have it all the time or a lot of it. It's hard to find that balance, but we'll get there!

  13. I don't want to feel like I'm dieting, so if you want it have it, and enjoy it.(maybe in a smaller portion,Hee hee):)
