loving the fat- the new goal

I've lost a few pounds so that is a good thing. This morining the scale read 230 which is so much better then the 236 I weighded in at a few months ago. I had been down to 228 last week but working full time and drinking a hell of a lot of soda was not great. I did eat out a few times but for the most part ate microwavable meals. So that might be something. I really think not eating out a lot will be very helpful.
I have notice that I drink a lot of pop when I am not at home. At home I drink some pop but a lot of water mostly at night when I get home from work. This means that I have to get up and pee in the middle of the night a lot but I know I need all the water I can get.
Something I have done in the last few weeks was come to the decision to accept my weight. I had so many clothes that I couldn't wear because they didn't fit, were too tight or show off my pregnant looking tummy. I know to help my self esteem that I need to make sure that all my clothes fit me and made me fill good about myself. I just packed away a box of clothes that didn't fit. In the prosses I found a few clothes that I though didn't fit but in fact did.
I am hoping that by doing this, by accepting me for who I am, that I will be more comfortable being me. I know I need to lose the weight to be healthy but being down on myself and hating the way I look is going to make me more depressed and will cause me to eat more. If I can accepted and love myself the way I am I will happy and more mentally healthy. I am still going to try to lose the weight but am going to try to love myself more.
I am off of work today and will make it a point of working out especially since I will be going to Red Lobster for lucnh because my husband got me a gift certificate for Christmas. I am going to enjoy it because we have not gone there in years but I will not be getting on the scale tomorrow.
