Now I know the number. Not super higher than my pre period weight- Thank heavens. I would feel more comfortable under 250.

I CAN DO IT.

What can I do today that will help ensure my success?

Basically just don't binge. That is all I need to do. Treats are ok, just stick with a serving and pair with a protein.

I have an eyelash appt at 2, and will work before and after the appointment.

I do plan to fill the bird feeders and try to fill my tires prior to leaving. And add some weight in the back to help traction.

There is a herbistore next door that I have been going to for a shake afterwards. Special treat, but like 200 cals, so not terribly indulgent.

I have some veggies prepped for meals. Stir fry + the Turkey stew thingie.

I have a "pasta" salad ready to go. Shirataki + veggies.

Plenty of protein rich foods in the fridge. Yogurts. Eggs.

Coffee is made and ready to go. Death Wish Pumpkin Chai. 🎃

Wide variety of seasonal tea available if I so choose. Lots of water available too!!

I know all this stuff. Like... I know know know it. 20+ years of knowledge. Put it into action. What is stopping you from achieving your goals?

Get out of your own way!!!!!!!!!!!!

Belief Framework:

I could end the year 10-20 pounds lighter.

Other people do, surely I am no worse than them.

It is easily achievable to lose 1-2 pounds a week.

I am capable of doing hard things.

I am capable of saying No to foods that do not align with my goals.

I have so much delicious food available, I just need to cook it myself so that I know the ingredients.

I am capable of being consistent with exercise, as I have been proving. 20-30 min elliptical and some biking while watching TV help me to achieve my goals.
