Alright I have weighed in this morning, wrote it down, went to church, ate an early Thanksgiving dinner(not as much as usual), then I went for a nice walk and I am feeling fine. I can do this... I can do this....
Christina I know you can do this.

You are worth it and you will have the best prize of all a baby to cuddle.
By the way, you look amazing!!!! You're my inspiration. ;)

I weighed myself this morning and I did gain from the last time I weighed myself but only 7 lbs. I was sure I had gained 20+ lbs. So I'm back. I'm writing my food down, I'm exercising, I'm going to get stubborn. Thank you all for being here for me. *hugs*

I don't want to split hairs, but 'I can do it' denotes someday. 'I am doing it' denotes right now. As much as I love the book, "The Little Train That Could", I prefer 'I am doing it'. I want to be losing weight right now, not someday.
My new mantra, I CAN do it, I AM doing it'. That covers all bases.
My fabric is on it's way. Hope I held the line today. A Sunday with two parties is tough.
thelondonzoo, congratulations on a successful day.
Carrie, you're looking good.
