What the hell is wrong with me?
Seriously, why can't I lose this weight? While I was away from the blog, I stuck to my healthy eating regime - did really well and lost just under 10lbs in 3 weeks. Got back under 170lbs - woo hoo!! Then, I self-sabotaged! I was off work last week and all I did was eat KFC, McDonalds, TGI Fridays, Chinese takeaways! So then my weight was back up to 176.8 (gained 7 pounds back!). Was ill on Friday (I think I poisoned myself with so much fat and sugar and salt!) and when I weighed again on Sunday I was back down to 173.2! I started eating better again on Saturday, and Sunday (even back to drinking my green monsters again!) and now I want to eat everything in sight again even though I know how bad it will make me feel. And I am running out of time to lose this weight for Florida! I need to get my act together! PRONTO!

This happens to everyone. My suggestion is always have a plan of action and a reminder. A Plan so you will be prepared when tasty fattening food is what you want, and a reminder of how much work it will take to burn the calories you just ate! You can do this. Keep it up!!!

I've been doing a few things to help me get to my goal--a bikini picture by summer. I can't negotiate workouts no matter what. They have to be done. If I have to wear a seat belt in the car and floss and brush my teeth at night, I have to get 60 minutes minimum every single day. So far as eating goes, I've stocked the house so there aren't any ways to get into trouble. I work from home which could make it seem better because I'm not driving past fast food places, but it's worse because I can get up and forage any time I want. So, I prepare my snack and lunch and leave them in the fridge on their designated shelf. That's my shelf. I can't look around anywhere else. That's what I have to work with. I feel so much more hungry to be in that bikini than to eat naughty things that my will power is winning out, but I also know that if I fail one day, I can't do that all or nothing thing where either I'm the winner or the loser. I just remember the next time how bad I felt when I did stray and I really don't want that feeling again. I swear, it'd be a lot easier if you could wear an electrical belt and every time you eat the wrong thing it goes off and reminds you and you associate eating naughty things with being shocked. Why hasn't someone invented that? You still have time. Consider yourself and athlete in training. Every night when I go to bed, I picture myself in a bikini and the end result and I wake up with the best intentions.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with you, sweetie. Most of us struggle with some self-sabatoge issues. I just posted something similar on my blog. I really struggle with self-discipline: making my workouts mandatory and all that. I used to be great about working out. Now - not so much. So I was asking myself yesterday - "What the hell happened to me?"
ReplyDeleteAutumnforest has some GREAT tips. I am also home all day and find myself grazing through my pantry. Her suggestion about having a designated shelf in her fridge was fantastic. I am going to do that myself.
