its just the little things in your daily life that can make you happy...example...my new diet has a rice cake on it for my 4:30 time slot....now normally this would be an insignificant little rice cake...but when i make my afternoon coffee and im eating my fish and squash...this little treat really makes me smile :) (im such a dork...LOL)
I am really trying to stay strong and think like a competitor. It is not an easy thing to do...because my normal brain tells me that its fine to want and eat m&ms, bread, gummy bears, or just something like mashed potatoes.
What i have failed to realize is that i am this little 5 foot nothing 37 year old who wants to accomplish something that is pretty difficult...especially when i have been such a crappy eater for so long. 5lbs on me is huge...so is 15lbs....and i need to realize that this weight came back so fast...and it took me so long to get it off....so instead of having a good foundation to start with, im starting over yet again. which is frustrating, but its done and nothing can be done about it now....except to move forward...to a place where i am happy with myself again.
You would think that seeing changes in myself would that in of itself make me giddy and not even want to touch a morsel of something off plan. but i guess as being human and all, everyone is going to feel that way, right? But its true...i love seeing my body change, getting stronger, feeling better, even though im exhausted from it all.
I have to believe in myself. I know i can do this...food will not win ;)
I am looking into getting a new suit....im thinking red :)

Angela, I too am only 5 foot short. No inches. I'm weighing in at 122.2 right now and it's the lowest I've been in a long time, but it's still waaayy to heavy for my build. I don't really like to live by the number on the scale, but I would like to get down to about 110, and have a rockin 6 pack! Good luck to you girl!
The steady and consistant always wins. Its hard but YOU can and WILL do this!
Yes, you are human Angela, so you do sometimes need to cut yourself some slack.
Though you are also someone that can achieve more than sometimes you are willing to admit, and I know that with more time and belief in yourself, you come to realise these things more.
Overall you're doing great, so don't get too down on any slip-ups, just keep learning from them and move on quickly.
Everything you have been doing in the past few years, you can be pretty proud of.
GOOD LUCK.
:-) :-).

I dunno, I think wanting and/or eating junk is normal. I like eating, it's one of my favorite things. But I think what helped me the most was taking an entire year from competing and just focusing on looking how I want and being happy with it instead of focusing on looking great for one day. It's worked well for me. So, after this show, don't let yourself do the whole eating everything thing...it isn't worth it. I know I wont!
