I started this blog to capture my feelings, successes and failure with my weight loss journey - NOT necessarily to share them with others. Sharing my 'story' has always been secondary. So in keeping with my personal objective I have some confessions I need to get off my chest. I have listed them out NOT to garner any sympathy (for lack of a better word) or attention - but as my outlet to express my thoughts and feelings.
* I am back to being a coffee drinker. I'm up to about 2-3 cups in the morning - complete with loads of sugar and creamer.
* I have enjoyed a soda pop several times in the last few months - it was heavenly.
* I haven't been consistent in the gym for about 4 months.
* I have gained back 10 lbs of the 47 that I had worked so hard to lose.
* I have had cake, brownies, cookies, candy and pretty much anything sweet that has come my way....knowing full well that if I took 1 single bite I would fall head over heels in love with sweets again.
* My pants now fit tight and even a few jeans are just too snug to wear anymore.
* That old familiar feeling of regardless of what clothes I wear, I still feel and look like a fat cow is back with a vengeance.
* I have been avoiding some social settings, because I am no longer proud of the way I look.
* I have had a brand new (tags still on them) pair of pants hanging in my closet for about a month now, that I can not fit into - but I refuse to return them.
* I have signed up for a 10 week wellness challenge sponsored through work and have done minimal to participate and I am a team captain.
* I haven't updated my weight in my Lose It! app in a looooong time - I just CAN'T type that number in. .
* I. HAVE. LOST. MY. FOCUS.
