Ok, my dear princesses...here I am...at the blog post again. I confess, I've had 3 beers today...or maybe it was just two...yeah, I think that's right. Had 2 dinner rolls with some shipshe cheese and now am planning a pretty healthy dinner. Pork tenderloin, with roasted asparagus tips and roasted brussel sprouts.
As I cleaned my closets, I found a pair of jeans that I wore when I lost a ton of pounds after having been on nothing but a liquid diet for about 10 weeks.(and that didnt include beer--I might as well as had my jaws wired.)
Anyway...I've saved these jeans for 20 years...not as incentive -- because I figure that I'll never be that small again....but just as proof that I once was! They are marked a size 12, but I dont know if either of you would fit into them either! Many things have gone through my head upon seeing them. 1. We need to be happy with who and what we are. 2. We can always hope to improve ourselves, but we also need to be realistic--and I dont mean defeatist. Do I wish I was that size? No not necessarily. Do I wish I was smaller? Sure..who doesnt?
anyway. I am a bit incentivized to lose some of my poundage by October when I go to Hawaii. We'll see how it works. I'll do what I can ... and try not to beat myself up in the meantime...hopefully no one else beats me up either!!! ;0)
another day, another way~
