I need a kick in the a$$ - can you help me out?
Hi buddies, I need your help. I need you to turn me around and kick me in the booty. I need some focus here. I do want to lose weight, I really do. I just can’t seem to say “no” to the foods I love to eat….tortillas, guacamole, chips, you know - mexican food. It’s my vice. I’ve found that I get very little satisfaction from ice cream anymore - not even frozen yogurt - but mexican food is just a deal killer for me. Yesterday I decided to kick my own, so I did the whole body measurement thing that I did back in February. I’m down 3 inches….in SIX MONTHS. THREE INCHES? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? What about all of those spin classes? What about the walks I do all the time down to the beach? What..what…what? Okay, well I can’t do anything about it right this minute so I logged my numbers in my journal and promised to have better results by next Sunday. To get more inspiration I watched Dr. Oz’s show on the Discovery Health show on losing weight. I got some good ideas, but mostly it’s the same “eat less, exercise more”. I want it in my head, I really do. But it seems like my stomach overrules my brain and my hand goes along with the stomach and it pushes the food in my mouth. Now that I am unemployed I truly have no excuse for not losing weight. It’s not “I had a business lunch” or “I didn’t have time to pack something healthy”…I’m at home!!
So dear buddies, please please kick me. I want to hear your best ideas, what’s worked and how can I do this? I really do want it. I do. Thanks.

Ok, turn around…on the count of 3..ready..1, 2 ..3..kick. Now, listen up….you gotta get a mindset…you’ve already lost some weight..do you wanna gain some of it back? ( I dont). Do you realize that its slower to lose inches than weight by pounds. Darn it…be proud of those inches…your not carrying them around anymore!!
There is only one food that kills me every time..for some reason…chicken and dumplings..I overeat it every single time…so for now…I am staying away from it. When you know you can control your portion sizes then go back to the mexican food….like i will return to my dumplings.
This whole thing is a mindgame…gotta kick over to the right mindset.
There are so many questions I could ask…but in the end…its mostly in the mind.
Stay positive…try for a balance…make sure to do something to make yourself happy every day.
This can be done….sometimes you just have to work around your downfalls…I have been tweaking my routine and exercise to look for a balance…hey this isnt easy…but we are here for ya girl!!!!!
I so know how you feel! It’s like you want to lose weight so badly sometimes you could just cry, but the minute that food gets in front of you, you completely lose focus. Mexican food is also my vice, so I really understand where you are coming from. I still go out to mexican restaurants, but I try to take food home and only go through one basket of chips with my boyfriend. But if you know you wont be able to do that, opt for a different restaurant.
I have written in some of my previous blogs that my way of handling tough food situations is pretending I am in battle… me against the food. Once you find that you are winning most of the battles, the weight will come off, and you won’t even feel like you are on a diet. Good luck with everything…we are here for you!
*kick*
I know you can beat this! You have to decide you really want to be healthier, fitter and live longer. You can do it! My biggest problem lately is sweets, so I know how you feel. But we can overcome.
Thank you for the kicks Ladies. It helped. I did better today
