Fighting with myself!

Hello my AMOS Family, I need to ask for your support, I am trying to hard to keep with weight moving down but it is not happening and when it does it moves so slow. I am sure it is the way I am living or eating! I know I need to get onto the treadmill, I am trying to instill this into my life as I HAVE TO!! it seems to work for 3 days and then I find a reason NOT to do it again! I need some help and I am not sure why I can not make this commitment to myself, I really want to succeed but I don't know why I am doing this to myself!!! so frustrated with ME and I am trying not to be so I don't throw this tool away! I feel like I am just fighting with myself all the time and I am getting tired. I guess it has to do with all the stress from this house is not helping but life is fill of stress so I have to learn to deal with it! Also it seems like when I do good I want to sabotage myself and then eat something I know I shouldn't!! Well any words of support or wisdom would be greatly appreciated!! Debra P

Debra, My doctor told me 4 days for 1/2 hr is enough on the treadmill. I struggle to do that . I also use weights for my upper arms & thighs. I posted last month or so, because sabotaging is one of my old bad habits. So you are not alone! Just think about how proud you are of all u have already lost, and how important it is to lose the rest. Don't waste time beating yourself up, start with a new day! We all know how you feel. Just start over! we're behind you Linda

Linda, Thanks hun and I know I should just start out slow and get into some good habits, taking it one day at a time.... Thanks Debra P

Don't Quit When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low, and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit.... Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar. So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit.... It's when things go wrong that you musn't quit. unknown author.... You have come a long way. You are going to hit lots of walls on this journey for the rest of your life. You have alot going on in your life right now. Dont look back just look forward. Baby steps! You are doing great!

LisaMarie, Hun I love that and thanks for posting it....do you mind if I make a page on my profile for that? I think reading that often will help us ALL. ~Hugs~ THANKS HUN. Debra P

Go ahead i dont mind.....have a great day! LisaMarie

Deb; OMG its like you are reading my mind and heart. I want to excerise, I want to but my mind will not co-operate. I can give you every excuse under the sun. But, we keep going. I am not lucky enough to have an excerise partner, maybe you have someone in the area you can excerise with? Walk with? If you ever find the secret of motivation, will you help me? You will be fine, and its just all the stress right now that you are under, but know we ALL are with you. Karen

Karen, Yeah I guess most of us fight with this huh? I do not have an exercise partner either and that might help but we will see with the warmer weather coming. thanks Debra P

OK my friend if your ready to get serious I can get you a free one week pass to a state of the art Gym in Newburgh! Golds Gym has: olympic sized pool/a multitude of womens aerobic dance classes/ state of the art cardio theatre/spin class/ tons of cardio with personal tv's/ tanning salon/personal trainers and the list goes on ! I love it and always look forward to going. For me the home work out never works cause there are to many built in excuses not to get my big butt on the tread mill. If nothing else a week at the gyn might get you going at home? Let me know! Kenny

Kenny, How I wish there was something like that HERE, Newburgh is about 1/2 hr away and I know for a fact that I would NEVER stick to anything that I had to ride 30 mins either way 3-4 times a week but THANK YOU! I will see what is close to home but really nothing in this area. Now if I worked close to Newburgh that would be awesome. I work in Chester and there is only Curves around here and I am not to sure about that. When it gets nice I want to walk on the trails in Goshen which will be a big help but I don't want to wait that long to start a plan. Does that make sense? Email me! THANKS... Debra P
