They are some new motivation for me. I have a pair of 12s that I bought from Eddie Bauer over a month ago now. They were snug but fit, and I thought I'd lose a few pounds and they'd be perfect. Now they are even tighter and I really can't wear them. Tags are still on, what to do? I found some 12s in the basement that fit, but again, are tight, and I can't spend money on 14s that I don't want to be wearing. I love love love wearing corduroy pants in the winter - they are so cozy and comforting, like a warm hug. I want so badly to have clothes that I love and feel great in. Clothes that make me feel like I look as good on the outside as I feel on the inside (happy).
I tried giving up soda about a week ago. I had zero soda for almost 2 days. This was after a wake-up call when I realized I had 2 12 packs in 3-4 days. I felt good giving it up, but I wasn't quite ready and have been very stressed with a lot going on including Kya being very sick. I gave myself a break and am just being more reasonable and trying to drink more water for now. I just didn't have any extra energy to devote to anything else.
I have been making progress with getting the house organized, and I truly feel that it is all a big picture. Little things I do now to make my life better will make it that much easier when I am ready to be more hardcore about losing weight and exercising. As I am typing that sentence I realize that giving up soda cold turkey is NOT a baby step, and that is probably why it didn't work for me right now!
