Losing weight, quitting smoking...they're both rather simple.

Quitting smoking?? You just have to want to quit smoking more than you want to light up that cigarette.

Losing weight?? Much the same...you just have to want to lose weight/be healthy more than you want to eat that nasty garbage, extra helping, whatever your weakness is.

They are both simple...deceptively simple. :D

See you get it....
It really is not hard once you get into the 'want'.
Without the 'want' you are screwed and doomed to failure.

Completely true. All the other times I tried to lose weight, I didn't want it enough to truly sacrifice and do what I had to do to succed...I don't know why this time was different but it was. And it stuck.

It is all about want.
 
So I am agreeing with Trops & Ali and whomever else would want to chime in and am going to start a new diary because this one does not fit anymore.
Besides the title there is a lot of negativity in here and things that just do not fit anymore in my life.
Title is important though.
Taking suggestions for the title from anyone who cares to read my drivel.

Thank you
 
So I took pictures again- posted in my picture thread- to see if my eyes were playing tricks on me in regards to the gains I saw in fitness and definition were true.
I compared them to the ones taken on 5/8. there is a huge difference. I absolutely cannot believe what is going on right now to me. I look good. Not good for a my size or carry my fat well, but good. I actually could pass for a fit guy.
I can wear anything off the rack and look good in it. I still have 15-20 lbs to either lose or shift since my stomach is still fat but I am simply amazed that this is my body now.
I honestly never thought this was going to happen to me.

No, sweetie, they actually sing that one in the movie. My favorite is when Alvin is showering in the dishwasher and you can hear him singing, "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me . . . "

Cracks me up!

See, and although I thought that was funny, I found it inappropriate for a kids movie. The only reason it was in there was for the adults to get a chuckle. That is until your 9 year old is dancing around the house singing it.

:smash: Daddy don't like that :smash:

That is wrong on so many levels I refuse to dive into them all.

That never occurred to me, really. Nikki pretty much knows what's appropriate or inappropriate and when she gets confused, well, momma's there to guide her. She's a good sport when I tell her something isn't cool.

We got bored one night and played the muffin basket scene in French and it was funny as hell. We also did the "major rock star" part in both languages. When we played it in Spanish, Alvin sounded like Linda Blair in the Exorcist. We laughed until we cried - and there was no alcohol involved. :p
 
That's funny. I liked the movie, except for that song. I don't have too many of those problems with my daughter. Every now and then I'll tell her that a song she is singing is not right. What is it about pop songs that kids get them in their heads like that. She doesn't listen to the radio except when I'm playing it. Good healthy dose of Classic Rock, Motown, Metal, Oldies. Non of that pop garbage. Then she comes home singing I wanna be your girlfriend or bananas. She hears it once at school and suddenly it's committed to memory. :ack2: Dad puts the kibosh on that.

I had to stop listening to the news when the kids are in the car about 4 years ago after my daughter asked, "Did he just say 8 people killed in Iraq?" Time to listen to the Beatles.

I so know what you mean. I don't listen to that stuff, either, but she will come home singing it. Once she started dancing in a way that was nearly inappropriate for an adult and I was shocked! Apparently her school had a mini talent show and the girls she teamed up with taught her this dance. Oh, hell no! We are not working on that kind of occupation here, kiddo!! I'm pretty tolerant of most things but when my kid starts acting too old (waaaaaay too old in this case) for her age, uh-uh, ain't havin it.

I've completely banned my kids from Looney Tunes. I watched it as a kid and never paid attention to the violence. Funny how you notice things as a parent, though. When Nik was about, oh 4 I guess, she was watching Bugs Bunny and there was this little cat. The show wasn't about the cat but he was like a behind-the-scenes observer in every scene. At the end, the main characters did something crazy - I don't recall what - and the camera focused in on this cat . . . "Well, I've seen everything now," said the cat . . . who then proceeded to put a pistol to his head and shot himself. WTF is that??
