Do you ever just want to stop working so hard at this whole weight loss fitness exercise thing? I have lost my motivation. Sort of. I really want to exercise, but I don't have time and I'm really enjoying cooking right now, which of course means eating it too. I made a cake on Sunday for family night and Dave and I ate a piece right away and then we had pieces Monday night and I ate a little sliver for lunch today. And the rest has been eaten by other people. That is my consolation. I gave about 1/4 of the cake to Aunt LuWana and Uncle Ken and then took the last 1/2 to work and forced it everyone here. So I was "good" and I didn't eat it all! I made other people eat it! :D
My scale is screaming at me. I'm not updating my ticker for a while. Does this sound like giving up? That's kinda what it sounds like to me. I don't like that idea. Help!!!
Perhaps I should exercise and then cook. Then I'll be better in my cooking and hopefully better in my eating. Maybe?

Hi!
That is cool that you gave most of the cake away. I find that I have to leave room for some fun food in my diet or I splurge - big time!! It sounds like you stayed to pretty small servings.
But, I can understand where you are coming from. Can you find some lower cal recipies that are still fun? Do we need to share some of those with each other? I think that all of us are feeling a little frustrated. Maybe that would be a good way to support each other.
What do you all think?
I too find that as soon as I stop letting myself eat treats, I get exactly nowhere because I'm constantly sabotaging myself & frustrated. I think it sounds like you did a good job! Cooking is - and should be - enjoyable!
I have mixed emotions on letting myself splurge. I'm perfectly ok with the whole cake thing. I really do think I did well with that. But I ate 5 cookies at lunch on Saturday and then last night was dinner with Dave's parents and that equates to large servings of very fattening food - but oh so tastey. And then there were brownies with ice cream and caramel syrup and tonight was a pool party for the relief society and there was this cherry strawberry crumble thing. And I don't think that if I did just one of those things it would be a problem at all, but once you pop, you just can't stop. I'm a junk food junkie through and through.
So. Tonight I AM exercising. And tomorrow I'm staying away from the crap. The rest of the week. That's only 3 days and I need some self control. And some self confidence. :) Here goes!
