Today's Horoscope

Reflections can't just be found in mirrors --
Today, seeing your true self isn't really possible unless you take time to be honest and accept your imperfections.
Put away your ego and you will be able to learn a valuable lesson about your insecurities.
Family traits are not written in stone --
Who you are is not predetermined,
You are a work in process.
You can make all the changes you want to make,
You just have to start -- and then keep going.

I am not sure of my ultimate goal- scale wise. I am thinking i'd like to get down to 150? I dont know for sure because i never even remember being there. So for me, that means my goal is to lose 150 pounds.

I will lose 150 pounds.

Knowing that makes this journey fun. I will lose weight and maintain my loss by following ww from now on. I've realized and accepted and embraced that, and although i still have small inklings to deviate from my plan, i havent. My first day OP was April 3rd. And i have been OP since.

I've had an epiphany. I just realized that i have the power to make my body look and perform any way that i choose. That is empowering, and i am no longer feeling restrained by this "diet" I am feeling energized about and in control of my future.

I am changing my life.

Other times i have done weight watchers i have been so hungry. This time i am not. That and that alone is what is feeding my "hunger" that i have always been trying to fill.

On April 3rd I ate to nourish my body. I ate to meet my caloric needs.

On April 3rd I read, talked, emailed, exercised, hugged my kids, kissed my husband, and loved myself to feed that "hunger".

And i will continue to do so.

The feeling that both of those decisions gave me is one i want to hold onto forever.

No Thank You.

I was feeling so "hungry" all afternoon, but i know i wasnt really hungry. I have been doing WW for exactly 1 month and my body was just complaining, trying to win me over. Nope. No way. No thank you. I went for a walk instead of eating. And i felt great.

Here's to tomorrow being a great as today!
