Truthfully, I have been on every diet in the universe--for at least a couple weeks, LOL. Except the already made meal ones. I am too cheap for those. I mean what if I failed? What a waste of good food. That's not really the reason I haven't tried them. I know how to do this. I know the right foods to eat. This week I exercised AWSOMELY!!! I made it past my second week of 10k training. I went to the gym. I ate exceptionally well all days except today and Thursday. YA, those days were NOT so good. J.D. looked at my eating chart and questioned, "HOW DO YOU EAT 500 CALORIES OF FROSTING?" "Trust me," I said. "It's not that hard." Add the cupcake I ate and it was more like 700:). BUT who's counting? Hey, I LOVE frosting. Maybe it would be helpful to try reverse psychology... I DESPISE frosting it taste like LARD, so nasty GAG.HERE'S the story... I made cupcakes. I made them in the morning with teeth whiteners in so I would NOT be tempted. I threw the leftover frosting away. I watched my kids eat cupcakes. At the party, I watched the kids eat cupcakes and then I put the rest in the microwave so I would not see them. But all I could see in my head was cupcakes so I thought, "throw them away." I couldn't do it. I ate the top off of one. "That wasn't so bad," I told myself. It was just one. I'm okay!!!! Then I was cleaning up and what do I find--a dang tube of frosting, the one we used to decorate the top of the cupcakes with. I thought, "LORI, you have to make a choice here." WHAT TO DO??????? Throw it away!!!!!! But before I do I just wanted to taste the very end and I am not sure what happened. Before I knew it, the rest the tube was gone.
I did good the rest the week. Then today I got home from church & last night my husband brought leftover pizza from a party home. I knew it was here in the fridge looking so DIVINE. I told myself the ENTIRE drive home, "I WILL NOT EAT THAT PIZZA." Then I got home, opened the fridge, see it, and start eating it cold like I haven't eaten in years. What happened to the whole "if you play it out in your mind, you can make it happen" crap? In earlier posts I talk about pizza. I LOVE it also. (Reverse psychology--I mean I can't stand pizza, way too greasy for me.) I am so mad that it was in my fridge. I am so mad that I ate it. FAILURE!!!!! I say to my hunny, from now on tell people to keep their own FREAKING PIZZA!!!!!!! Like it is his fault for bringing it home and theirs for giving it to us. Not mine for eating it:) That's logical right?
So what have I learned this week.
I am one step closer to becoming the SMARTEST person in the world on how to achieve successful weight loss through failure. As Thomas Edison put it...“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”
Thomas Edison also said,
“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is to try just one more time.”
So here I go. I will start again this moment and this week, I will find success in all the knowledge I have found in FAILING!!!!!!
