Flattery Will... Get Me Nowhere.

Apparently, a few compliments go a long way with me. A long way to making me so cocky I completely slack off! A couple people this week told me I looked thinner to them, so my mind has taken that to mean I can do whatever I want and there's really no need to put on that exercise tape or stop myself from ordering pizza for supper.

Sigh.

On the upside... I have officially lost 10 pounds, and none of my slacking off seems to be making the scale climb back up to where it was a week ago... So I just need to get back my momentum. I can do it. I will do it.

Just don't compliment me when I do.

Ha! That sounds like the way things usually go. I've struggled a bit with feeling guilty about losing weight too, even though I know everyone in my life is happy I'm finally getting at it.

After I gave birth to my daughter, everyone told me I was too thin. What they really meant was "I'm too jealous" . Needless too say I gained all the weight back and I looked like I was pregnant again. Everybody was happy again except me.

Thanks Lisa!

As a friend of mine has told me several times, "Don't rest on your laurels, keep moving forward."

It's great people are complimenting you and seeing your progress, but you have a "bigger" picture in mind of a smaller, healthier you. So, just keep on the course you've established.......................:)
