A Note to Myself

Dear Colleen,

Today is a new day - you said it yourself. After meticulous planning this weekend, a readjustment of your attitude, and some deep conversations with your significant other you have NO EXCUSE not to be ready. This mornings scale reading was proof in the proverbial pudding that you must remain steadfast in your quest to lose the weight. You utterly, and completely sabotaged yourself over these past five weeks. Why did you do that?

Did that Luciano's pizza you shoveled down last week at work taste good? I hope so! As it probably resulted in at least 2lbs of weight gain. How about that "reduced-fat" cinnamon coffee cake at Starbucks that you indulged in - REDUCED FAT my ass! - you should of known anything tasting that good could NOT be good for you. And seriously, Colleen, stay OUT of the bulk section at H-E-B...Cinnamon pecans - NEED I SAY MORE!? Next time, when you want to stray in that direction, remember what the "bulk" in that aisle really stands for.

You're ready - let's continue this journey. You didn't lose 64lbs for NOTHING. You must keep going, you must show KT you're in control and you must, above everything else, lead a healthy lifestyle and set an example for your daughter. Be her role model in every way possible.

Now, go choke down that oatmeal and yogurt and let's get this show on the road!

Tough Love,

Your Skinny Self
