Excited: Remember how my mom and I are competing in a Biggest Loser Challenge? Well, the final weigh-in is on Friday. I'm pretty confident in myself. I think I'll get $50 in exchange for the almost 25lb that I've shed. Well, not 25lb since the beginning of the challenge, but since we moved to Texas (and my highest weight ever).
Petrified: On Saturday, I will be on my way to Ohio for Christmas with my whole family! And I'm petrified. I wish I could say that I was scared my family wouldn't recognize me because I've gotten so thin. ;) But I am absolutely terrified about the eating out and Christmas goodies and snowed-in, no-exercise days. I have literally had an anxiety attack thinking about this vacation that should be welcomed and a blessing, not something looming over my head and freaking me out. I am so scared of what may happen over this holiday, of how much I might gain back.
Bottom line: I don't trust myself yet to be on vacation and stick to what I need to in order to lose, or at least maintain. ::sigh::
Ok, so, here's what I would do... Make a list of all the things you are excited to eat, pecan pie, egg nog, mom's rolls, sugar cookies, etc. Decide now what you are going to eat and stick to it. This way you'll allow yourself some Christmas fun, but you won't waste your calories on things you didn't really want anyway. Those chocolate chip cookies that the neighbor just dropped off aren't what you're looking forward to, so don't eat them. If you'll stick to what you really want you should be able to keep it in check. Also, remember, sometimes it's ok to skip the main course if you don't care about it but know that you're definatly in for the dessert! Oh, and remember... "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels". That's what I keep trying to remind myself. Good luck, and quit the worry, enjoy and stay in check!
