Rockstar Rosie

So, I just have to say that Rosie, you are a Rockstar! Instead of leaving you a comment (since I usually miss seeing those, anyway), I thought I'd shoot out a quick post :) Way to go on re-engaging with your mission and writing through the frustration and disappointment! It sounds like you've got a great partner in crime, too, which I'm sure is going to help a lot! Your meal plan sounded like an awesome and yummy day :)

Some of the stuff you've talked through the past couple of posts have really been stuff I have been able to relate to. I wish I could be like Matt and just remove the emotion from my decisions and results. He doesn't seem to have emotions when it comes to avoiding foods, even if he craves something. He'll just NOT have the food! Pizza is a great example. If I get it in my mind that I want pizza for dinner, that is all I can think about and whatever we have instead is just blah. But, he will be totally satisfied. Also, if he doesn't lose during a week he doesn't even comment on it, just recognizes what was wrong with the previous week (too many nights of missed exercise, two nights of "off" eating, etc.) and then just changes for the current week. He has this incredible ability to know what he is doing will get him there and has this long term vision I seem to be lacking. An increase on the scale when I think I have been 90% good for the week gives me a tear my hair out rest of the day -- which leads to the desire to drown my frustration in pizza and chocolate (vicious cycle, right?). How is he able to be so emotionally detached??? Is it just a guy thing? How can I be like that, too?
