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.
Me too sister. I don't know why, but it seems like when we are "on" we are all in and when we are "off" it's times ten. If I regain my focus, I'll share my motivator. Right now, I just don't have one. It feels nasty to sit around and not exercise, so why don't we get up? I'd rather watch TV and drink beer all night.
ReplyDeleteI have recently lost 25lb...it felt great, but this week I have really lost focus too. :( I keep telling myself that my body deserves a break... but...it is already showing on the scale. I should say...refocus today, but...Refocus on Monday??!!
ReplyDeleteI think just SAYING you've lost your focus is excellent in itself. You'll get it back, I'm sure of it.
