Confession:

I went to the movies and I made really poor eating choices there. I also did not make the best choices when I went out to dinner this evening. After dinner my husband and I went shopping. I was so depressed, because there was only one plus sized store in the mall. I couldn't fit anything in the mall. I looked in the dressing room mirror and saw how large my thighs were and instantly I felt so low. Thats when I went on a shopping spree in walmart and bought a whole new wardrob of comfortable, fashionable clothes that fit. I am still working on boosting myself estem. I did not know it was this easy to slip.

Speaking of sliping I think the real thing that caused me to slip was becoming insecure about my diet. After reading the fat smash diet I was eating too few calories and that I was in danger of having my body store every thing as fat. I am greatful I did those five days of hardcore fruit and vegeatble intake. I talked to my husband about modifying my plan to have an extra yogurt and some more healthy snacks like popcorn and fruit and he said, "no baby stick to your plan." I was crushed, because we had just had a discussion the other day about how he would diet and he said he would only eat one or two meals a day. I felt he was pressuring me to lose weight using dangerous means. I got upset and told him that I was quitting my plan and that he could develop one from me.

I am calming back down and trying to get a plan in place to get through Easter Sunday, my family is going to an all you can eat Buffet. I think I am going to take a deep breath and have some salad and fish and plenty of water. I am also going to make myself a smoothie and have a v8 before going. I am going to make some modifications to my eating plan for next week, I will eat the same food for breakfast and lunch and add salads for dinners for the next two weeks. I will also add in some healthy snacks. I plan to get in a lot of 30 minute walks to. I see to be more motivated to go outside and walk so I am going to ride that wave for now.

Too all the ladies that are struggling with excess weight, know that the weight does not define you. You are beautiful and worthy of love. Losing weight takes time, take slow steps in the right direction and never stop trying.
