Working down the ladder

Yep, that's what I'm doing. I finally climbed out of my pit of self pity and decided to stop with the excuses. As I told you last post, I found out that I can achieve what I expect, I just happened to expect to GAIN instead of LOSE weight. Therefore, I didn't look for healthy alternatives or watch what time I ate or how much I ate. I just got in the car of expectations and let the driver take me where he wanted.

Today, I was talking to a friend who is constantly complaining about her problems but never really wants a solution. She just wants people to take pity on her. I told her that EVERY day she needs to make a choice and that following that choice won't always be easy or fun, but it will ALWAYS be worth it, cause she will be making a choice to better herself.

Boy, was I preaching to me or WHAT! I have that SAME choice to make every day, with the same benefit, yet I have been choosing to complain. Wow...I needed that little talk.

So I weighed myself and I'm at 136.5. It's up from 135, but down from 138. I just need to keep it moving by making those good choices every day and talking to all of you. I need to keep myself accountable to what I have promised.
