root cause
I was reading through the 'recommitment' thread earlier and it got me thinking. What's my deal? What's my hang up? Am I really done? So, I started thinking about the root causes of my, I don't know, year stall... hanging head but the ugly truth. This is what I came up with:
I am stuck.
Why?
Because I don't care about what I eat.
Why?
Right now because I am injured and the only thing that makes me feel better is eating.
Why?
Because running was my therapy and something I liked to do.
Why?
Because I don't feel like eating solid protein when soft proteins go down easier.
Why?
Because when I get close to a number I get scared.
Why?
Because I don't know how to be a success at weight loss
Why?
Because if I succeed at this what is next?
Am I afraid? I think so. That is why I sabotage myself. Thanks Pam and Lisa and everyone else for starting, participating and keeping that thread going. It really made me take a long hard look at what I am doing.

You can't measure your achievements with someone else's yardstick!

You touched on alot in your post. And while I cannot identify with every point. I can definately relate to the sabatoge part.
When I am on a roll, and getting where I want to be, I somehow have a crutch or excuse to halt it. I can give a million list of reasons why, but not one of them are credible.
thank you for posting this. things like this always make me take a hard look at things. I may not always follow through but at least I don't feel alone, and it gets my mind rolling.

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
I bet that NIcole would have A LOT of compliments for you on this thread!
Realizing it is the first step. Luckily for you with the band there isn't a "honeymoon" period like there is for RNY - you can get another fill and be back to great restriction. You CAN do this and you WILL do this!
