Finally a post by the middle sister of the three!
I'm Sandy and was so thrilled with the characature of me in the car - perky is all I can say - and I like it! I'm excited that my sisters and I have started to journal our journey that I know we've all struggled with all our lives. We're hoping to make some bloggin' friends that have the same issues and struggles and hopefully along the way we can INSPIRE each other to be better!
So why the BOZO punching bag you ask?
Well, I am one of those people that continues to beat myself up over things that cannot be changed or for only things I can change.
I just came home from a week in Florida for a painting covention and like all things (wedding, reunions, etc.) I was hoping to loose about 25 lbs. before I went. In March I decided I could get it off. Well, a week before, I was beating myself up because I was only down 9 lbs. since March. I did manage to lose a few lbs. while there because of all the long walking between the room and the conference rooms. It certainly wasn't from eating correctly or on plan with WW at all. I ate what I wanted and didn't give it a second thought - until I came home and hadn't changed the way I was eating and put those few lbs. back on ~ phewy. Now, I ususally do two things when that happens - beat myself up and start eating to make myself feel better or I stop eating and by about 3 p.m. am so hungry I binge on things that aren't good for me. Plus, I've completely messed up my metobolism in the meantime and it just really doesn't know what to do.
Donna Dewberry spoke to us at the painting convention and asked us all to make a list of our goals and to start it out with stamping out NEGATIVITY in our lives. Now, that is a hard one. I have lots of negative people in my life to include myself. But I've printed out this negativity button and put it on my fridge, in my wallet, on my mirror in my bathroom. I need that reminder to think positive, be positive, not only with my weight but in all situations in my life. I've decided that everytime I start to think/do something negative or am faced with a negative situation that I pray about it immediately. I am not capable of handling it on my own and know that only God can help me change it into a POSITIVE!
Have a healthy and positive day!
Sandy

Morning Sandy, I'm on a mission today to say, "hi and thank you".
I wish you luck with your mission and your sisters too. I'm there with you....
Maybe after a week or so you will want to change your visual to say "I'm positive"
xo
Great post San. I beat myself up too and what a complete waste of time!!!! I am so ready to move past it all. I better hurry I am not getting any younger.:)
Love ya,

Hi! I saw your blog on Brandy's-she made me one as well;) Anyway, just wanted to wish you luck and say I'm pulling for you! I joined "the daily plate" as a way for me to lose weight. I just put in what I eat and it adds the calories. Easier and cheaper than WW for me, personally. Anyway, just being aware of what I eat has helped me. I've lost about 15 pounds or so. There is a link on my blog if you are interested.
Good Luck...and I hope to keep reading your blog;)
Hi,
I discovered you this morning from another blog. I will be back...I'm a lifetime member of WW, and have fallen off the wagon! Having a hard time getting back on.
