? ? ? Today's Vow ? ? ?

I failed miserably at my vows yesterday. Today I vow... NO eating after 8pm. NO snacking. Drink at least 2 protein shakes. No matter what, make a vow tomorrow too. I'll start smaller than I did yesterday. Still love this post. Thank you so much!! Connie

Connie ... yesterday is history and even though you didn't keep your commitment you have a perfectly clean slate today and I know you can do it. I struggled terribly yesterday and kept reminding myself that I was going to be accountable today and it helped. I'm glad you committed to posting tomorrow no matter what; that should keep you motivated today! See you tomorrow morning with a GOOD report! =) DD

I vow to begin belly dancing again, even if it is alone in my room because I love it and will no longer let the words and thoughts of others stifle me. I vow to stop looking at myself critically in every single mirror and window I pass and start treating myself as well as I treat others. I vow to stop treating every bite that enters my mouth as some big tragedy and start enjoying my life. I did great yesterday and am praying for a great day today. Good luck everyone!

They sure can! I can think I m looking so good then catch a glimpse of myself and my day is ruined! I am going to stop doing that to myself! I am going to enjoy myself and stop focusing on that garbage!!!!

Today I vow to: Take control of my eating habits! I FINALLY understand my problem with food, I have allowed it to control me, so instead of letting it control me, I will control it! I now realize that this is one of the very few areas in my life that I do have complete control over, so I am stepping up to the plate and taking responsibility for my actions! I can continue to be reckless and eat the improper amounts of the wrong foods or I can take time to properly manage what I am putting in MY body! I will not have an attitude of helplessness when it come to food anymore, NO MORE EXCUSES! The only way the weight is going to continue to come off is to deligently and consistantly work at it and to be at peace with all phases of my wls journey, may it be big or small!

Good post, Nancy. You're so right about the control factor... but, go**** sure is hard being a responsible, self-disciplined adult sometimes! Good luck to you today. DD

Thanks Dee Dee! Your right it is hard being a responsible, self-disciplined adult, but I find it harder to be a obese, depressed, low self esteemed adult!
