Note to self....

Please avoid the following foods if you ever expect to lose weight and to continue fitting through doors:

Cheetos
Chili Cheese Fritos
Doritos
Cheddar Jack flavored Cheez-Its
Cheesecake
Brownies
Bacon
Sausage
CANDY
Pizza Hut Pizza
Fried Chicken
Greasy Cheeseburgers
7 layer dip
Velveeta and rotel queso dip and chips
French onion dip and chips
Cadbury eggs

Yes, sadly I have eaten all of these things in the last week.  I'm out of control! What is up with that?!?! I've lost 11 lbs. since we've moved and I'm scared to get on the scale after this last week. I probably put it all back on in a week! Several months back I decided I was going to get serious about this weight loss thing. HA!! I was going to start posting my daily efforts to be better. I wasn't going on a diet (I refuse!) I was just going to make some wiser choices. Try changing bad habits. Have you seen any posts about my progress? I didn't think so!! What is WRONG with me?! I want to be healthy and I want to feel more energetic and more comfortable taking my children places, like the pool, for instance. I've GOT to get a grip!!! I feel like I'm one step away from shopping around for a 'fashionable' Jazzy!! Ok I'm going to do it. From this point on today I am going to be better. I'm going to forget about the frozen waffle I had for breakfast that was slathered in butter and syrup. I will look past the Cheddar Jack flavored Cheez Its I just ate. I am going to put my best foot forward and do something! Look for my "Better Choices Diary". I WILL BE ACCOUNTABLE!!!!  
FYI: This list is not typical. We had Super Bowl Sunday and Valentine's Day and a 4 day weekend mixed in there. It was more of a week and a half but whatever.  :)

You can do it. I have been doing the same thing, making wiser choices, and it does feel good. That list of food you posted is really tempting though.

You go girl!! I say I need to make wiser choices too, but I haven't really gotten around to kickin' the bad habits yet...maybe we can do it together, like report our good/bad behavior to eachother or something.
That is really great that you lost 11 lbs. especially in such a stressful environment. I just recently found out about this website you should check out (www.sparkpeople.com). It's a FREE website that helps you in your weightloss journey, has A LOT of great tools which I am barely starting to figure out. Anyway, check it out, see if it is something that might help, what can it hurt, it's FREE!!!
