The thing about it is Kate, the only reason I wanted to lose weight at all was for Halloween so I could fit into my costume. There's no chance of that now, since we're just over 1 month away and I need to NOW lose at least 12 or 13 pounds... my goal was 10 before, but even if I'd lost 7 or 8, I would have probably fit into the costume... now, I need to lose too much, so it's pretty much hopeless.
And yes, I quit smoking, but losing weight is so much harder for me! Quitting was about N.O.P.E. - Not One Puff Ever, but dieting isn't like that... what? Not One Calorie Ever? I mean, we would DIE! So it's not the same concept. And plus, with quitting, I had total control over the end result - smoke or not smoke. With dieting, I seem to be doing everything right... I'm drinking lots of water and green tea, I'm eating healthy, low cal/low fat foods, I'm exercising and I'm not overeating, and yet I STILL gain weight... it's not like quitting. I don't like the fact that I don't have control over what my body does when I do everything that's right. I'm just really frustrated right now!
Crave the Quit (forget the stupid weight loss)!
