And no, I’m not talking about my husband! I’m talking about the amount of weight I still want to lose to reach my goal – 13 lbs. 13 pounds doesn’t sound like much in the grand scheme of things, slow and steady and in 6 or 7 weeks I should be there. I was thinking about all the things that weigh about the same and I just keep coming up with food analogies … I must be really hungry! Let’s see a turkey or a large ham, which is what’s sitting on my hips, ass, and thighs.
If I never have far to go to reach my goal, how come I never get there? I’ve dreamed of a hot body with 20% body fat for years, I must get there before menopause (Am I really worrying about menopause? Holy cow!) sets in or I never will. I’m so sorry I keep obsessing about this. My mother says I have body dysmorphic disorder, my husband says that’s why I’m in pretty good shape. I think they are both right; I’m a little crazy and a little in shape! I have been using the most awesome website to track food and fitness, it’s called The Daily Plate and I highly suggest it. It’s soooo easy to use and it’s FREE! Check it out.

I visited The Daily Plate. The most important thing they don’t tell you is that, if you diet every day, you will never finish — even if you manage to reach your goal. You will have to be on a maintenance program for the rest of your life. I diet that really worked wouldn’t need a maintenance program.
