Closure. and new goals
I got to this point where i am 166-168 and got a ton of compliments. In a sense, i sort of feel like these compliments have set of back. strange huh! not because of you guys, but because of where my head was at. my head was more focused on working out/eating to get to the point where i got those compliments rather than what was more important.
see if this makes sense
this was my equation
work outs + eating right = getting to the point where i got enough compliments to feel good about myself
this is what it is NOW
workouts + eating right= getting to the point where i feel good about myself without getting any compliments
IT TAKES A LOT OF HUMILITY to admit that those were my motives, but after reading that book stop whining start living, i realized where my ego was.
SO, now im closing off that portion of my life, and focusing on what i want for myself. I need to live life with a better attitude. I go to work and im just so resentful, and im not so sure why. I groom my dogs but i dont even enjoy it anymore. I JUST STARTED GROOMING! i need to refocus myself and get myself back on track, to enjoy the things in life i used to enjoy.
I like working out. I love the feeling of losing weight, and i think ive come a long way. but that is not going to stop me. i look at that picture of me in that dress and that is no where near where i want to be. I am still overweight. but i am a “thin” overweight. lol
so im just going to look for the little things in life, im going to try to not talk negatively, im going to SERIOUSLY try to not say anything outloud if it doesnt have a positive spin on it. life is what you make of it. all of these turmoils are brought on, and all the bitching and moaning about how unfair will never change them. I will acknowledge my feelings, be sad, and then move on.
So guys, Im on a new mission, to change myself into a positive person. anyone wanna join me?

HEY! Did you get my emails?
I am on the mission with you! I love love love love love love this blog!
Great attitude, great analysis of your weightloss journey this far! WHOO HOO!!
LONI IS MY GIRL!
I totally understand what you mean… I think sometimes the “you look so good!” compliments DO set you back a little bit — because it’s easy to convince yourself it’s good enough and stop working! Loved the blog. You go!
Awesome attitude!!
I like this! I wrote a blog recently pretty similar about hoe I’d lost my enthusiasm, I was just going along with every day and not really enjoying anything. It is hard to change it but we have to, we are here to have some fun, well i think so anyway!! Good luck! oh, and on the compliments thing? my friend who was been losing weight with me always says when she gets compliments she stops trying as she feels she is done. and it stops her getting to her goals!
Great attitude girl….I think that the key is you recognized the behavior that was not helping you mentally and emotionally…congratulate yourself on being so self-aware…most people go through life and never realize this about themselves…you are doing a fabulous job; inside and out…keep it up girlie!

YES I CAN YES I CAN lol
This blog makes you want to stand up in a crowd of people sitting in a large room and scream out loud, “YES I CAN DO IT”. lmao How funny. But so right. That’s been my mission since day one. I’m never negative in my blogs and always am positive. I mostly stay away from negative blogs, and let’s just say there’s a LOT of them on BuddySlim. And people wonder why they are having problems… they don’t realize that it’s yes… eating healthy and exercising, but doing this while having a positive fresh attitude about life and believe in your efforts, and not just do it to see the number on the scale go down. Good luck!
I know exactly what your talking about this is what happened to me lost enough where I got a ton of compliments and now I’m stuck. I’m going to llok at it more like you do. I’m sorry that you are already not liking your job and I do hope you find something you love doing. I was told once a job is something you have to get up everyday for whether you like it or not a career is something you want to get up everyday for and absolutely love it and the idea of going everyday. That is what I’m striving to find and I hope you do too.
oh and are you moving to Cali?
