A confession...I've gained back 5 of the pounds I worked so very hard to lose.
My weight loss has been stalled since around Christmastime. I gave myself leeway over the holiday season intending to get back on track. But, at my best I was just maintaining. And, at my worst? Well, I gained.
And, I MISS the way healthier food makes me feel. I miss the light yet satisfied feeling after eating (instead of heaviness). I miss the energy. I miss the confidence in myself and my ability to treat my body kindly.
So, hold me accountable please blogging friends, because I need to get back on track.
And, please forgive the cheesy 80's video...but this is the song that's been on repeat in my head. :) (I gotta get up and back...right on track. )
I've gained back 12 since January of the 22 I lost since October.
ReplyDeleteHate this feeling. We're better and back to it, right?
That's right Jen! We're back to it! I'm finding that old eating habits die hard, so rather than beating myself up every time I fall back into them (and I'm sure I will again and again), I just gotta get back on that horse.
DeleteI've gained back the five I lost since the beginning of this year. :( Planning on getting things back on track!! Starting now.
ReplyDeleteIt's so frustrating isn't it? Especially when you think about how hard you worked to lose them in the first place. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who is working at this. You've got the right spirit...back on track...starting now!
DeleteI'm 37 weeks pregnant and gained 30! ;) So I'll be back in the weight loss journey with you soon! I've learned, though, that posting all about weight loss never helped me stay accountable. Crazy, right? I could tell the world how much I weigh (and I did) but it never kept me from eating bad stuff or kept me walking/working out.
ReplyDeleteThis is the post I wrote a while back about my journey...I ended up getting down to 195. http://chrissyrenee79.blogspot.com/2010/10/dont-hog-your-journey.html
Hey Chrissy! Thanks for sharing that link! As it turns out I remembered reading that post before. I believe I used to read your blog on a regular basis but lost track of it somewhere along the way. Did you used to have a different blog name & layout? Anyway, I hear what you're saying about accountability. No matter how honest I am on here about weight loss/gain, in the end, I'm making choices about how I'm eating when no-one is around. And, yup, those bad choices keep happening anyway. I will say that I've found a ton of encouragement & ideas on other blogs & sites. It is motivating to see what people have been able to accomplish.
DeleteYes, I used to be Traveling Light. And I quit blogging for a while! Glad I'm back and glad to read again! When I didn't blog, I didn't read the ones I used to love.
DeleteThat was the name of your blog! I remember now. I was drawing a blank when I was trying to think what it was called. Welcome back Chrissy!
