12 Days

So it has been 12 days since I renewed my commitment to getting to my goals. I'm proud to say that I've stayed under 1500 calories per day, had no meals after 8 p.m., and worked out at least 4 days each week. I'm down about 6 pounds. But now I'm scared...I'm at the crossroads. They say that in order to make anything a permanent habit you have to do it at least three weeks straight. Next week I can't allow myself to fall back to bad habits. I can't go back to saying that I will start again the following week. I can't allow my husband to talk me into "splurging" with pizza or gourmet cupcakes. I must stay true to myself. I must put me first. TOM will also be arriving so that will intensify all of my temptations because I'm normally craving sweets and salty foods, feeling exhausted, easily irritated and most of all I can gain up to 5 pounds of water weight!!!!

I have to do this.
I can do this.
I will do this.
I will not fail.

F$@! the FAT -- I'm going to rock this week!!
