It's Not Easy!

I've dreaded typing on the 'ol blog again because of my keyboard. (If you see any extra c's behind my d's ignore them...it just means that I didn't catch them). But life goes on. :)

Someone posted a thread over at 3FC's about this lifestyle seeming to be too easy. I am so jealous! It is not and has never been easy for me. I'm constantly seeing, hearing about or smelling temptations that call to me. No matter how good the soup (clear broth of course, not cream) I'm eating is, I'm always wanting some of the "good" food. And it's not like I just haven't given this enough of a chance because I went through 1 whole year (2003-2004) near perfect and I went 7 months of near perfection this time round...I always wanted something! This re-start has been no different. The first week I did horribly giving in every time I turned around. This week I'm doing better but it's harder than ever to resist the evil foods. But the bottom line is that I have to keep trying. I can tell such a different when I go OP - not just physically, but mentally. So I moving on. No, I'm not going to make my 100 lb loss goal by 10/06/07. No, I'm not going to make my goal for my niece's wedding. And no I'm not going to reach Onederland by my 50th birthday. But I'm still putting up a fight.

On to something else... I was getting ready to go to bed Thursday. I was chewing a piece of gum (I will go to bed with gum in my mouth - the next morning it's still good!). I got the hick up's. I woke up the next day with my gum stuck to my lampshade. Guess that was the result of a HUGE hick up!

I won't lie.. when I saw the post, I wanted to throw my computer across the room out of jealousy. I get touchy when I read things like that, because it's just not fair! LOL.

Glad you're back. And meeting goals is nice, but the more important thing is staying on the right track, regardless of how slow it can be. I don't know how it is so easy for some people and not for us. And i'm the same way- i can be doing great, and I feel great.. but that ice cream, or that chocolate cake, is always in the back of my mind. Sigh.

LOL at the gum. How do you not choke? I can barely chew gum when I'm driving because I'm too afraid i'll accidently swallow it. LOL.
