Boss 1 is gone for the week. Boss 2 just said she's taking off and won't be back today. I'm already having a difficult time concentrating, and now it's totally gone. Must. Get. Work. Done.

Unfortunately, all I can seem to think about is how last spring this skirt seemed much looser than it does now. It's pretty clear that I'm gaining muscle from all my stairclimbing and weight lifting and stomach crunching, but I'm not trimming the fat. I need to lose the cookies and ice cream. Of course, I've known this for a long time...I just only trim any of the fat when I restrict my diet to a level that makes me miserable. :(

This is me not wanting to work.

I don't know if this would help you - I think different things work for different people - but I've been cutting out trans fats from my diet as much as possible. You can still find a lot of yummy snack foods without them, particularly if you have access to a Trader Joe's. (On labels, trans fats are any sort of "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" oil.)

Of course, what's mainly working for me is probably the thyroid supplements I'm on, so it's hard to tell. But that's a way to have cookies and ice cream, but still cut down on a bad sort of fat.

I'm struggling with this myself. I've increased my exercise by a ton (Curves), and it's really not helping as far as I can see. Okay, it is...maybe. *g* It's allowing me to eat a little more without gaining even more weight. *g* To really lose, yeah, I think I'm going to have to cut down to the "miserable" part. Or...I don't know. I am losing weight when I'm very, very careful, but very, very, very slowly. And...I can't afford to stay this fat. *g*
