The Biggest Loser

Ok I believe this is day 4 of Household sickness. Sydney had a rough night and morning! We all were up until about 1:30am, Sydney had several coughing spells, then she slept until 5:45am, more coughing spells. We got out in the hopes of getting urgent care for Sydney only to find out that the base "hospital" isn't open and there is no one to talk to about my baby being sick. The stores DO NOT sell cough meds for babies under 2. This is my first child so bear with me, I am learning. Right now the aspirator (AKA bulb AKA Sydney's worst nightmare) is my bestfriend! She has her good points during the day and night and we just try to get rest when we can.  I am feeling better at the moment but its been up and down all day.

 On to the subject for today. I was watching an episode of the Biggest Loser today and I was so bother by something, but at the same time I was enlightened! This whole weight loss and  maintaining a healthy weight thing is mental (at least for me) Its not so much working out, its all in my head. In this episode the contestants were given the opportunity to vie for a golden ticket that would be the only vote this week to evict one of the people that fell below the yellow line. The contestants could choose not to play or open containers with either hidden goodies or the 1 golden ticket. There were atleast 40 trays and atleast 10 contestants. Needless to say, every single one of them pigged out like they hadn't learned anything at the Biggest Loser Ranch! Some eating over 3,000 calories in that few minutes they had before one of them found the ticket.  I was embarassed for them! Now, I know I havent been in that situation per se but come on, they came to the ranch to lose weight and learn about making good choices when tempted out in the real world!  That's when it hit me, for them to have come so far and just make big mistakes like that there has to be something that I am over looking about weightloss being a lifestyle change. It really is going to take some determination and constant being on my toes to overcome these horrible eating habits! It's not about a diet it's about changing the way I think and deal with food! I have to change my whole way of thinking and believeing and even reasoning when it comes to what I eat. This may sound dumb to others but, it hit me like a ton of bricks! This is going to be a long hard battle but in the end if I can conquer this I CAN DO ANYTHING! Thanks for reading!
