Sometimes the comments people make to me make me feel like I've given the impression that I don't struggle. Let me tell you something, about a week ago I got down to 145.8, which put me at a 90 pound loss, fit into a size 6, and I celebrated by gaining 5 pounds in the last week. That's right, FIVE! Please never think I don't struggle, or sabotage myself, or that I don't shove my face full of crappy food, and completely avoid working out, because I DO!!! This suck sometimes. I just want this to come naturally, I don't think it EVER will. It will always take effort and a lot of planning and thought. Sometimes that really makes me feel down. This time of year really sucks for losing weight. There's so much yummy food everywhere and I am not good at moderation, it takes an incredible amount of restraint and that's hard!!! I'm kind of having a pity party obviously. I have to remind myself that 8 months ago, hell even 4 months ago, I'd have killed to be where I am now. If I were talking to someone else going through the same thing I'd have great advice, I am incapable of taking it myself.
No excuses, just the facts. Ate too much. Haven't worked out. Gained weight. No mystery!
We've all been there. Celebratory eating is a problem, as is getting mentally lax in maintaining or slow weight loss. Just pick yourself up, dust off, put on the workout gear, and stick to your eating plan. You can do it :)
