Sabotage!

I haven't written about this much on here, but I've been working on losing weight since September. Mostly I haven't written about it because this is supposed to be a positivity blog, and MOST of a weight loss journey doesn't exactly feel positive... Anyway! It's very slow going because I don't really have a TON to lose, and I'm not very tall, so it takes a long time to get any weight off. So from September to November I took off about 7 pounds. It was a huge victory though! That's a lot on this 5'5" girl. Buuuut I've just been maintaining this loss since Thanksgiving. So I need to get back on track to get to my next mini-goal, which is only 5 pounds away!

I've always had to work on my weight. I also feel like there always comes a point when I get tired of working on it, and I start to sabotage myself. And then I gain it all back, and the cycle begins again. I refuse to do that this time, but I still feel myself leaning that way. Because I'm baking. I baked three different sweets this week. What am I doing?? I know the sugar ends up going right to my waistline, and then my pants don't fit (even if I have lost a size in my legs, my hips & waistline are stubborn stubborn stubborn). So I'm making a decision about my baking hobby/habit.

I will not bake ANYTHING until I am halfway to my next mini-goal. And then I can bake one thing, if I still want to.

I'm putting this out there on the blog, because then I'm not just saying it to myself... that doesn't always work for me. I need someone to know if I fail... and someone to celebrate with me when I accomplish it!
