life after disclosure

So in my past, every time I've "announced" or told people of my weight loss, I've ended up going backwards, and giving in. I'm trying very hard to keep up my new lifestyle right now. I don't know why I always ambush my efforts after people start to notice, but I am very aware that I do that, and am trying to ward it off.

This weekend I had a couple of bad meals - out with the hubby Friday night - and again Sunday afternoon at a festival. But I did do a lot of walking, which is great. Even made the choice Friday to walk to work after I had justified driving in my mind. THAT is a big win for me.

What I really notice - is that I feel so much worse on "bad" eating days. The bad-for-you foods weigh me down literally. I feel sluggish. No energy. I feel much better when I eat well, drink lots of water, and get exercise. DUH. right? It's what we all know. But yet we continue to fall into bad habits!

So today I'm back on the wagon, so to speak, having my Quaker Oat Squares and coffee this morning, getting ready to walk to work. Looking forward to an active day. A GOOD-FOR-ME day.
