Diet Debacle's

I'm finding it really hard to stay on track with my "lifestyle change". When you have been eating whatever you want for twenty plus years it's really hard to turn off the want button. I got some granola bars from Costco (A HUGE CASE). They are 100 calories each and 1.5 grams of fat. Low fat right? Only if you eat 1 and not 3or 4. They are so small. Anyway, I don't understand why I think about food constantly. I consumes my every thought. I am exercising quite a bit, but the weight has stopped coming off. I should be happy. I have lost 55 pounds in 9 months. Then why am I still so obsessed. I think I'm driving my family nuts. On Saturday I made a nice dinner and dessert for some dinner guests. Big mistake on the dessert! It was awesome!! Walter went to church while I stayed home with Eoin who was sick. While he was gone I finished the dessert (1/4 of a four piece pie). When he got home I was miserable. Poor Walt! When I'm eating it I thinking holy crap this is goood. Then when I'm done I'm like why in the HECK did you eat that you fat cow. Oh when will I learn to control myself!

You are way too hard on yourself.
Wish you would praise yourself for all the the hours you are spending on the gym. Instead of beating yourself up.
I am so very proud of you. Keep focusing on the good. Think about being healthy- and do not fixate on your weight. You look great- but really more importantly you are getting healthy for your kids and yourself.

I hate the pictures that you have and the commentary on the bottom of the blog. You should compliment yourself instead. You are amazing and have a wonderful drive and have motivated me to be a better person.

Good to have a sense of humor. But I think it is terrible. You have always been and will always be beautiful to me.

And Elephants are really cool.

Hey Diane!

It's true, you look SO good! your body looks amazing! Thin, scuplted, healthy, great. But even more than that, regardless of weight or body image, is the light and sparkle in your eyes and the way that you live your life.
You are so giving, compassionate, and centered in what matters most when it comes to uplifting and helping others. I'm honored to be your friend!
