Positive thoughts are helping my weight loss

We took my sister to O'Hare airport yesterday for her flight back to Ontario California. I only yipped at my husband a couple of times. On the way up to get her, he was in the wrong lane on the tollway and went through the IPASS lane. The third time you do that, they mail you a ticket. Of course, that was the second time. Needless to say, I kept telling him to stay in the right hand lane until we got pass that particular toll.

My weight loss program has gone to heck in a hand basket this past week. I'm not sure it's all that bad though. My sister, who is two years younger than me and a whole lot thinner (size4/5), actually looks older than me. My mom mentioned to me how much sis has aged. I hadn't said anything...I thought perhaps it was me. I think much of it can be attributed to her weight loss. She had been a size 9/10 before she got her false teeth. She's had them for over a year but still finds it so hard to eat with them....so she just doesn't eat she said. She has to use to use so much adhesive to hold them in, the stuff dries out her lips. I've never known anyone that settled for teeth like that. If it was me, I'd be camped at that dentist's office until he got them right.

Today, I started with my green tea and a cup of fresh raspberries. They sure were good. I don't know why I don't eat more fresh fruit....it really does taste good. I'm also back to drinking my water. I've been really bad about that this past week.

I know what my weaknesses are....I just have to act on them in a positive manner. I started today.....and that's a good thing. I'll be heading back to losing weight again. I know I can...I know I can!!!!

Rock on fellow weight loss success-in-the-making! I, too, am battling the weight loss demon.

Hold steadfast and stick to it -- you'll overcome this!!

Why are you drinking green tea? Is it related to weight loss? I drink vegetable juice (fresh) and find that it gives me tons of energy, fills me up and provides vital nutrients.

Green tea as well as the other teas have been associated with weight loss as well as other health issues. My latest post has some information on it.
