There are just those days that seem like this quest is just so silly.... Why would I want to lose weight when I know I am going to get pregnant right after... It doesn't seem to make any sense, at least it didn't today.
Luckily, I have a telephone. I called up a few of my friendly support club members (aka friends) that might also understand this "family way" difficulty. And they reminded me that this journey is so much more than just being thin. They reminded me of all the other reasons I am doing this.
- to be a good mom, who helps her children be active and healthy
- to have healthy future pregnancies
- to be a spectacularly beautiful wife
- to live the commandments and abide by the teachings of the prophets
- to be the best me I can be
Plus, I have heard that it is doubly hard to lose the weight of the first baby after you have had a second.... Well I am 10 pounds away from where I was when I got pregnant with Ginger, so that is almost accomplished.
Downside of today:
Overeating on cantaloupe and cheese with crackers.
Upside of today:
I realized what good supportive friends I have. Thanks you guys for listening.

Don't be hard on yourself AT ALL for overeating cantaloupe, crackers, and cheese silly! That's fine. You're doing great.
My reason for losing weight is just to not feel gross and extra large, and uncomfortable. It affects all the aspects of my life when I feel that way. That's the only thing that really works for me. And when I start feeling that way I know I need to start behaving better.
