I hate diets. I have not lost a single pound since January 1, in fact, I think I have gained a couple. I am very grumpy.
I have not cheated on the soda - I still haven't had any. And I know I could drink diet soda, but I hate it, and I would rather have water.
I am exercising - maybe not a lot, but 3-4 times a week consistently, which is more than I did last year.
And I still haven't lost a pound. Maybe this is just not going to work. I don't like the way my clothes are fitting. Not only are they tight around the middle, but none of my shirts that are supposed to button, will button anymore.
I know that a bunch of you are into the fitness thing and work out regularly. But there is no way I'm getting up any earlier than I do now. If I don't get enough sleep, I will be sore and even grumpier than I am now, and NOBODY wants that.
Randy told me last night how much he likes the way I look, so I have to say that I am so lucky to have a guy like him. But I would love to be able to buy some new clothes and me really, really happy with how they look.
I just feel like I have no willpower and I am so mad at myself.

I'm so sorry! That stinks! I read once in a book that if you eat even one bite of sugar in a day, it kills all fat-burning potential for the day. My dad read that and stopped all sugar and started dropping weight like crazy. Might not work for everyone, but for him it really did the trick. Although, it's nearly impossible to give up sugar! I've done it a couple times, but I always give in eventually.
Oh, and don't worry about the diet soda. Everything I read says that is way worse for you than regular pop anyway, so you're doing yourself a favor.
And what a sweet hubby you have!!!
That was very sweet of Randy. I know our own opinions matter about ourselves, but good reports from our husbands are the next best thing.
Don't be so down on yourself, if you have given up soda this long, you certainly have willpower.
I hear you on not wanting to get up any earlier. I did the workout thing for a while, but I dreaded getting up every morning.
Oh, and I hope that some of you manage to avoid the flu.
I'm wondering how in the world I woke up at 5:30 every morning for six months to work out. Not so much anymore. There's a reason DIET is a four letter word! You're doing the right thing by making small changes that will turn into a lifestyle change. Hang in there! If it makes you feel any better, there's no way I'll be losing weight (in fact, I'll be actively gaining) until at least June! If only I could blame it all on the baby. My eating has left a lot to be desired!
