Here I am, yet again!Jan 26 2008 14:50
So, my entire life I have struggled with being overweight. I hate being this way and just want to lose the weight. I do really well at first, I eat healthy foods, I exercise, and am so motivated to finally do what it takes to lose the weight that I have been carrying (both physical weight and a weight that also brings down my self-esteem and sense of self worth). At some point though, I always self-destruct. I have one bad meal or I miss a workout. From there I say "well, I've already messed my day up, might as well make it worth it" and then that ends up carrying on the entire week. At some point I've put back on all the weight that I have lost and end up having to work extra hard just to get myself back to where I previously was.
I know that it doesn't take overnight to do this, but it sure would be nice if it did. It is a road of up's and downs. I know that I will make wrong turns and have to go back to where I started from. I just wish that I could pinpoint exactly what it is that keeps causing me to fail and correct the problem!
Well except for the fact that I am a dude. I just want to give you a really quick suggestion. next time you go on a crusade to do better and lose weight maybe try just doing more physical activity or try just eating better, but not both. I have found so far that just concentrating on the eating is making this WAY easier. I may not be losing weight as fast as I would like but I never have those times any more where I " make it worth it" after have a bad snack or something like that. Eventually I will work out but since this is a stupid long journey why not just try one thing at a time!! |
