Perspective

I just peeked at several blog entries from my last cycle in June/July. Hey, it sucked then, too! I tend to romanticize the past cycles. Apparently, every time I do this diet I feel fatigued, starving, and frustrated, and it never goes quite how I plan.

Wait, that's my life, not just the diet. :-}

Doing this until November 25 seems impossible--or at least highly uncomfortable. At times I entertain aborting the mission at the "short cycle" mark. But then I'd have to do this more times overall. No, thank you.

Eyes on the prize: I'm down over 70 pounds--well over halfway. I can do this. I need to buck up--it's not like I'm not used to suffering, right?! I'll just cry in the corner while my daughter eats her Halloween candy.
