Oh my dear Grainiacs! How I have neglected you....and guess what....I will probably be silent for another week while I am studying on campus. I have had an intense semester and I know you all are probably thinking "well, she is such a procrastinating strawberry so she had it coming." In normal circumstances, yes, that would be me. Yesterday college daughter wrote and said her internship/job would be complete and to please book her airline ticket and I did it!!!! She was shocked. I am going against my grain to procrastinate. Unfortunately, I've fallen into stress eating. Not a good idea when you are blogging about weight LOSS! I can tell you that I've lost 14 pounds since August 2011. We are nearing August 2012 so 14 pounds in one year is not a huge accomplishment by some people's standards but I'm here to tell ya: I'm proud of myself. I have lost 14 pounds...a little more/ a little less. I've learned how to keep 14 pounds off my physique and that is a start. August 2012 is right around the corner and I'll start my weight loss journey again. I'm not planning to go back to my old ways of "uh oh, diet time; let me run over to Dairy Queen and eat up all the ice cream because come August, I'm dieting!!!" No, that is the old Strawberry and her whiny child alter ego Mona. The new stronger 14 pound lighter Strawberry will continue to eat healthy and think about what she is eating....even if it's a Dairy Queen ice cream and strive to keep those pounds off. I keep reminding myself: I didn't put all this weight on in one month or one year- no, this is almost 20 years of accumulation! So it won't come off in one year. I'm patient, but unlike the airline tickets, I can't click the weight off. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could, though?
