Patrick and I were home for a couple of days while our truck was being fixed. We were sitting there, and decided to watch a movie. My sister had recommended Fireproof, a movie with Kirk Cameron in it. Since he is my crush from long ago, I was all for it. (he is still too cute for words) I an not going to give any of the movie away, for those who have not seen it, but I am going to say, if you have not had a chance to watch this movie yet, please do! It was SO good! Whether you have a great relationship, a bad one, or no one at all... It gets you thinking. Of course it got me thinking about Patrick and my relationship. (which is a great relationship- that's why I agreed to marry him in December) but it also got me thinking about my weight loss. I'm going to get a little cheesy here and say that weightloss is a little bit like a relationship. You have your good times and your bad times. They both require a commitment though. It's up to you to decide how great that commitment is. Are you the type that makes the commitment, gives it all you got, and sees it through to the end no matter what- without straying? Or are you the type that gets tempted, even may stray a little- or a lot? Maybe the type that goes into a restaurant and sees the chocolate cake giving you looks? You love your weightloss, but that chocolate cake is so tempting, and your weightloss hasn't been that great lately. You've been trying, but the weightloss doesn't seem like it's giving you as much as it had in the past. One little indescretion with the chocolate cake won't hurt. No one will know. You'll just have this one time with chocolate cake, and go back to weightloss like nothing happened. But weightloss will know... Will find out. And that one time with chocolate cake? It becomes more. You end up cheating on weightloss with banana cream pie, cookie, AND ice cream. How can you do that to poor weight loss? After everything weight loss hasdone for you! I am that cheater. I try to stay true to weight loss, but there are times I slip. I think it happens to a lot of us. Most of the time, weight loss forgives me for my straying- sometimes he gets a little stubborn and doesn't come back for a couple of weeks. I miss him while he's gone. There is regret. Why did I cheat in the first place. I do everything I can to get him back. Then after watching the movie, it hits me. Fireproof my weight loss- duh! For the next 40 days, I will be doing things to strengthen my relationship with weightloss- so that when times of temptation come up, it won't be a problem. I know I can get there- weightloss and I had that kind of relationship in the beginning. So, for today, the first thing I will do- as this is day one- is do something nice for weight loss. I am going to eat 100% on plan for weight loss today. I'm sure he'll appreciate it. Here's to making your weightloss "Fireproof" Jessica
