Raisinets = Devil. Just wanted to let you guys know. Oh, and Fruit Loops are pretty high up there as well.


4:10pm
So my brother just texted me and told me his car broke down on the highway and caused a traffic jam the other day I really hope he can get his car fixed ASAP! It just amazes me that as much as my family and I struggle, we all have such an amazing attitude and optimism about life. I my family. I guess instead of being bitter that my dad doesn't help us financially I should be uber grateful that I have my brothers and mother which are priceless. Anywho, today's been a pretty good day. I'm not down whatsoever like I was yesterday and I feel more hopeful than before.

Ya know, I know I struggle sometimes financially but I think that struggling builds character. It makes you appreciate what you do have, realize what you need vs. what you don't need, and it kinda just puts things into perspective. If my parents gave me anything I wanted, what would I be learning? I guess - no matter how much it pisses me off - that there's a reason for everything, even my bank account! As the song says, "Ooooh, child, things are gonna get easier." I'm hopeful & grateful today. DamN! I hope I can stay like this forever! I like this feeling!

Anywho, I just had this Hawaiian Punch-to-go (sugar free) for my water bottle and it was sooooo good. Uber tropical and only 10 calories for the whole water bottle. I really liked them!

Well, Frantic Friday is a good day over here in OH-IO. I hope everyone else everywhere else is feeling fabulous. I need a new adjective. Or do I?!

Eh, I'll stay with fabulous.

I'm feeling a little better today. I decided to do some woosah when I woke up this morning and try to recite some new things to myself (in my head of course, not outloud) to try to get the day started on the right foot. So today, I'm going to live by the following things I tell myself:

I don't need to rely on anyone else to let me know that I look good

I don't need to rely on anyone else to let me know that I've worked hard to get where I am

Even if I wake up at my goal weight tomorrow I'll still have the same issues as I did yesterday

I need to stop letting my weight loss define my life. I need to live my life to the fullest and just let the weight loss be a fragment

I need to take care of myself DAILY and not accept going out of the house looking anything less than FABULOUS

I'm not going to let the amount of money I have define my quality of life

I need to work out because I enjoy it, not because I want to burn calories

I need to be OK with me before anyone else can be!!!


So there ya have it, Denita's fleeting wisdom of the day. Hopefully all of these sayings will last me at least through the weekend! I don't think I'm going to meet with the counselor today since she never called back but I think I can manage. Hopefully next week or something she'll give me a call back and we can set something up. Oh yea, I kinda broke the hide the scale challenge today. I just did it just to see, but I'm definitely not weighing again til 5/17. I don't need to! I can do this with or without the scale.

Other than that, today is an OK day! I am going to do my damnedest to enjoy the sunshine, enjoy my successes, and just be happy today! If that demon tries to break out, I'll just give it a swift kick in the nuts. I WILL HAVE A GOOD DAY DAMMIT!!!
