Week Three was pretty shaky for the first half.  Once I got in touch with my inner jungle cat, things got a lot better.  :-)  This week I have two goals: to write down everything I eat and to stay on top of my homework.  I know homework doesn't have anything to do with weight loss directly, but it has a lot to do with how I feel about myself, which always affects how I eat because I use terrible food both as an emotional crutch and as a way to punish myself.  (I know, I'm such a joy.)  So hopefully this week will be about accountability.  I'm dreading it a little, but it really, really needs to happen.  So...deep breath, jungle cat roar, and off we go!

Good luck to you all,

Killing Something

This jaguar has prey, baby!

My dad is also fat, and we have entered into a "friendly" competition!  First to lose 25 pounds wins!  Dad has a lot of willpower but unfortunately for him, I am a jungle cat, so I hope he's ready to LOSE!

Good luck to you all,

Jaguar

This week's color is a slightly shimmery light gold color called Jaguar.  I gotta say...I haven't embodied it at all so far this week.  A jaguar is a fierce animal, strong and fast and intimidating.  I have been no such thing.  BUT, whereas I would usually say in a dejected hopeless voice "there's always next week", I shall now say, "there's always today!"  I'm turning it around right now.  No use giving up and stuffing myself with fat and sugar and self loathing when I can just jump back up and keep going!  Jaguars don't weep and eat crap, they go kill something!  Rwaaaar!!!

Good hunting to you all,
JadeAmber

Week Two is always hell.  And this time, my monthly friend decided to crash the party.  And, it's coming up on the end of the semester and I've got a buttload of homework I procrastinated on.  So all in all...I'm actually relieved to see only 3.2 pounds gained.  Usually on a Week Two I gain back everything I lost in week one.  And usually, after that happens, I give up for a few weeks until I hate myself enough to make myself start again, a new Week One, and everything just happens all over again. 

That's not what's going to happen this time.

I'm entering new territory tomorrow: Week Three.  I'm going to accept that I fell but intsead of lying there crying and hating myself, I'm going to try something new: I'm just gonna get up and keep moving.  Simple, I know.  But harder to do than say.  Wish me luck!

Good luck to you all,
