I think I know why it is so hard for me to lose another pound. First I don't work out enough and when I start working out, I eat more than I work out. One of my weaknesses are carbs! I love carbs and I always crave carbs. I grew up eating rice so if I don't have rice for more than a day I get cranky. I tried cutting the size of my meal which is working for me right now, but those carbohydrates are killing me especially white food! Carbohydrates are not the only killer. I love drinking fountain drinks! I tried quitting, but there are times when I'm out with my friends enjoying a good meal I would want that drink.
For instance, I went to Bucca di Peppo last weekend and of course we ordered pasta and pizza. I ordered water with my meal and no soft drinks or wine. The bread comes out and I ended up eating three slices! I was enjoying my meal and when I reached for my drink, I ended up reaching my fiance's soft drink! ARGH!! failure! So after that sip I took another 3 sips and that was it. Situation like this makes reaching my goal challenging. I need to tell the people around me not to order soft drinks. Not because of me but for their health also.
The due date to reach my goal is getting closer and closer. If I can't lose that 15 pounds, I would like to lose 8 pounds by the end of the semester. My fiance is motivating me more and more and now that I started the insanity workout. I know I will be able to do it. I need to do it. I actually had brown rice two days ago. :)

Marisa! I know you can do it too! Maybe try treating yourself to a softdrink like once a week or every other week so it becomes more of a treat! :)
