I blame my husband. The guy that can eat like crap every.single.day and maintains his weight. The guy that can go to the gym once in a blue moon and come back looking 10lbs lighter. He sucks. Yes, I’m jealous and it really isn’t his fault. Mr. Crafty Nest has been extremely encouraging about my weight loss. He has made it a priority to help me find time to get to the gym, even if that means saying a quick “hi, bye” as he walks in and I walk out some nights. It’s just that sometimes I think that I can eat like he does. I can’t. I sooooo can’t.
It’s just so hard for me to be around others that eat the food that I WANT to eat. It would be a million times easier if I lived on a deserted island with nothing but fruits and veggies…and Nutrisystem meals. Instead, I’m tempted by a Dunkin’ Donuts advertisement on the treadmill at my gym. Not cool Mountainside Fitness. Or I’m tempted by the carton of ice cream that Mr. Crafty Nest has hidden (not well enough) in the freezer. Everything is just a big fat temptation. I just need to keep reminding myself that it isn’t worth it. Hopefully it will get easier.
As promised, I have a progress picture for you. The picture I took at the start of all of this (in August) is on the left and the new picture is on the right. Not a huge difference, but I do believe I see progress. Hopefully I will be blogging about reaching my 20lb weight loss goal soon. It is getting harder and harder, but I’m still hanging in there and staying far away from my husband’s ice cream stash in the freezer.
