I think I have found the source of my problems. I lack the ability to self-discipline! I often have excuses, or justify...a lot. ie, not washing my face because my skin is horrible regardless, eating a piece of chocolate at the end of the day, because is really one piece going to torture my waist line?
In my case...YES! Because now I have allowed myself to give in, and it's just a snow ball affect from that point on.
I blame it on a personality trait. It's all or nothing for me, in all things. My house is clean or a disaster, I eat sweets or I don't, I wash my face morning and night, or never at all.
Why? Who knows! I'm not a moderation type of gal. I can't have just one cookie, or do one load of laundry at a time. This may be why I'm willing to let everything slide, because I know when I attempt to fix things I go OCD overboard, and it's daunting.
So, here's to discipline. This week I focused on face washing, and working out. Maybe after a few weeks of applying these things daily, I will dare add another, and continue to better myself, and feel a sense of accomplishment, and routine. And with that:
-2 LBS, total of -8.2 LBS
I'm going with, "Slow and steady wins the race!"
Happy Saturday!

I don't know many people at all who are good at moderation. I think that's the hardest part of self discipline! Good job though! And at least you KNOW that about yourself and can stop feeling that daunting sensation..I often feel that too. Why is my house never spotless like my mom's? I have no idea how she does it...maybe someday? :-)
Go Kara!!

I totally agree, I have the worst self discipline! So I have been eating my salads and other healthy stuff and then last night we made chocolate cake for fhe...lets just say I'm taking the rest to a neighbor because if I keep it in my house I will eat the other half too :) Way to go! I hope it continues to go well, wish me luck as well!
I say give yourself a break mama! Two monkeys is ALOT of work. And if that chocolate makes you take a deep breath and sit down to enjoy it- THEN EAT IT! You are gorgeous! You're body will get there on it's own, especially when your relaxed and happy....ha ha, can you tell I'm kind of talking to both of us. easy enough advice to say, harder to follow ;) good luck, but do give yourself a break.
Way to go Kara! You are doing great! I need some help in the self discipline department as well.
