Do What You CAN do...

I am happy to report that I survived yesterday's JUMP START fast. As usual, I do fine during the day but my problem is overeating at night. I was so tempted to eat something last night, but I had a V-8 instead, not on my plan, but only 35 calories, so that wasnt so bad. Just on yesterday alone, I lost 3 lbs. Granted, it was probably mostly water, but nonetheless, it is a 3 lb weight loss. Yay!

For me, overeating at night is not about hunger; it's just a bad habit that I must overcome. I know what it is to be hungry and I havent been there in a very long time! Get over it! Remember that limited income is good for the waistline. =.)

Ask not what your diet can do for you. Ask what YOU can do for your diet. ha! 

I know it is going to be difficult to survive all the wonderful smells of temptation during the holidays, but I can limit what I put on my plate and I can limit what I put into my mouth! A sliver of this and a morsel of that is not going to hurt my diet... If we make tamales, that will definitely be the hardest to survive, but I must focus on what I CAN do, not on what I CANT do..

There are only 40 days left in the year, but that's plenty of time to lose a few pounds! God is trying so hard to take away my sackcloth and clothe me in joy. I love the elegance of black, but I have been stuck in conservative clothing far too long. This is my favorite season for fashion. Time for a little fashion kick!

Wouldnt it be nice to wear red or a beautiful Christmas green in velvet?!

I do so miss my waistline waving at me and the curve of my hip. It will be nice to see my waistline again... I will see what I CAN do in 40 days. DARE to let the Venus in me out of the Glass Box!!! Must presevere!
