I'm having a rough day emotionally. I'm at work (gasp! blogging!) and I feel like the only cure to feeling better- other than going home, would be to go back and grab some Skittles or Kit Kats. We're ordering from Arni's today and I couldn't think of anything that sounds more delicious than a hot ham & cheese sandwich.
This is kinda scary, because I'm experiencing exactally what so much of us struggle with- emotional eating.
So what do I do? Hope it gets better by blogging (accountability)? Hope my celery and peanut butter will be enough to cure the craving? Give in a little?
Ugh.

Day 16
I'm 16 days in and it's the first day I'm craving bread. I went to Jane's Deli, ordered a delicious side of fruited chicken salad, and forgot to ask for no bread. My meal came out with this delicious, sponge-y, fresh slices of bread, paired with real butter.
I'm happy to say I resisted, and hopefully it will get easier every time I say no!

Inspiration: Maggie Mathew
I've said that a lot of credit goes to people around who inspire me or are there to uplift me when I'm down about my weight. I'm super greatful to have my dear friend, Maggie Mathew not only there for me, but actually right next to me winning the battle.
She started making an effort to lose weight in June of 2011. Eight months later, she was 35lbs lighter, and decided to become vegeterian. Since then, she's lost an additional 45lbs, making here total weight loss 80lbs!
Maggie is one of those friends that not only can relate, but will step back and help me see the big picture. You know, like when I'm frusterated that I gained two pounds, she'll remind me that it's okay and it will come off, because look how far we've come and reminds me we'll never go back. Man! That kind of encouragement is so valuable! Also, I really apprecaite having a friend that enjoys outdoor recreational activities with me! She shares that joy, and I'm guilty of taking that for granted at times.
Thanks so much, Maggie, for inspiring me to make weight loss a part of my life instead of making it my life. I'm super greatful to walk in the journey towards health with you, and I'm confident we can both accomplish our goals!
