You are always your worst critic

Some will say, "you are your worst critic" seeing what others don't see and being overly analytical. However, there is something to be said about observations and fact. Case in point, observation: It is funny what can motivate you, a picture from Easter 2 years ago is what did the trick for me this time around (*disclaimer: this is a bad pic but I could really tell a difference in weight)  Fact: I have put on over 25+lbs in  2 years! Motivation is something that I have always struggled with! Over a year ago I could not imagine eating half of the things that I have been consuming in recent months. Now, after all the months it took be to loose and be at my lowest weigh in, I am closer than ever to my original weight. My wedding served at the original motivation in loosing 45lbs the first time around and it is one thing when I put back on 5-10lbs, but now it's pushing 25+!!  Needless to say, my motivation has kicked into high gear yet again and I am recommitting to a food journaling. When I began food journaling, I used weight watcher, this taught me to be accountable in tracking my calories and it amazingly worked! Now, I gonna give the Daily Plate (Livestrong: free website). Today is my first day! Due to the fact that I scarfed down a doughnut, latte, and pastry I was intrigued to wait until Monday....BUT that won't change what I already ate and why wait! It's never going to be the perfect time to say no I don't want some cake or whatever goody is calling my name. Commitment and dedication is not something that comes easy but the payout is so much better than being unhappy or dissatisfied with myself. I will do my best to continually blog about my weight loss and chronicle the journey this time around. Hears to re-commitment to being healthy!
