Water Ugh!

Members Were Sparked

well I don't like drinking water... so I found a way to make it a little better. I put a few frozen berries in my glass and they sink, and help keep it cool, and when u finish the water you get a treat at the end. :)

Shopping Cheap

When I find that I need new clothes I always think about the cost. Ugh...What I like is SO expensive so a few things I do is go to places like Marshal's or TJ Maxx where I can get named brand items very cheap. If that doesn't work I go online and see what items at my favorite store is on clearance sale. That ends up saving me quite a bit of money.

Fear of sucess

I enjoy working out and love the way I feel when I eat right and am loosing weight. However once people start to notice - I start binge eating again and fall off my workout routine - ugh. I think I am afraid of being seen - when your over weight you become invisible - in CA anyway. I found comfort in being invisible - I need to get over it! HELP

Focus on the Benefits

Whenever I get that "not another salad" feeling, I remind myself of how much better I feel all afternoon if I eat a big, fresh salad for lunch. My energy, stamina, and focus are all better. Focusing on those benefits and reminding myself how sluggish I can get after eating other things -- that seems to make it easy to get past the "ugh, not lettuce again" blues.

MORE INFORMATION:
Pay attention to how you feel after you eat certain things. Observe without judging. What you notice might surprise you.
