Ok, I really needed some motivation to stay on this "healthy" living kick that Joel and I started 2 weeks ago.... for Joel it has come sooo easily! However, I find the cravings for southern home cooked meals, anything sweet and pizza to be uncontrollable!! So, before I broke down and went straight to Cracker Barrel, I confided in Joel, told him he was about to be on his own and I would totally support him ( by eating my suppers earlier before he came home and ate my Ice Cream late at night after he went to bed) Ha! He got irritated with me and told me to get some motivation! I honestly had no idea what he 'ment by it, but before I could ask he was off to the computer and pulling up old photos from our wedding and shortly there after. He was sooo sweet in saying " back then... you never complained of your arms being "fat", you loved wearing bikini's and you always had clothes to wear." Well, that was enough motivation for me.... I went through all my pictures of when I can honestly say I had no issues with the way I looked, I was happy with the way things fit on me and I really did always have something to wear! So, with out further a-du.... here is my motivation.....
Seriously..... this is only 12 pounds away!!! I can totally do this!!!! (this is me motivating myself ;) ) I won't lie, it has been hard... but in the end or by June 15th I will look back and be happy that I sacraficed all the brownies and pizza to be on the beach not worrying if my jelly roll is hanging out!
On a side note.... the weekend was great! We had a great time with friends and family, we went to the family land and went fishing and picked dewberries. I would of took adorable pictures of Riley fishing and picking... but I left the camera and video camera at home. Next time I won't be so forgetful... we have a fun week ahead... Joel will be off from work wednesday and thursday, we rarely get daddy time two day's in a row, we plan on working in the yard for most of it, but as long as we're with him it doesn't matter what were doing.

i can so completely relate to your issues here. motivation is so hard when the cravings are so easy!
i understand where you're coming from, but you are still SO gorgeous! i know you think you can do better, but in the meantime, be proud of who you are now. JA and i both love that girl!
I am impressed that Joel helped you find some motivation. My husband and I are finally in the same mode of weight loss. Usually he looses weight when I am pregnant and then gains it back when I am loosing it again. Hang in there...
