Combatting Regain. . .

For those of us who have been around awhile, remember all those WOW moments, which made us feel good and kept us motivated, well for many of us, life is "normal" now, those kind of things are behind us, however, I think we are going to create our own motivational WOW moments by sharing some of the ways we are combatting our regain today and possibly sharing a bit of our hopes going forward.

So here goes. . .

This week I combatted my regain by spending one hour per day, 3 days so far, working out, whether I was tired or not, I showed up for myself, I can even say that I enjoyed it one day and am hoping that eventually I will really look forward to and like working out and find something I really like doing there.  I also kept my food intake to what I know is in my best interests and am further hoping that I can lose the 15 lbs. that I do not want to take with me on my life's journey.

Thanks for your support.

Laureen, you are so right. I have lost some of my regain. I try to work in my garden & flower beds. I have about 12 different
flower beds & a good size garden. My biggest problem is rainey & cold days. All I want to do is bake or play on the computer.

Thank you for some inspiration!

I hope to wake up with thick red hair and be about 5'6" tall. Almost forgot, I want to be filthy rich too.

Since that's never going to happen, I take my old wrinkled body to the gym several times a week. Having Baxter has given me tons of walking miles.

My daily menu is almost the same, day after day, with very little variation. Boring to some but I don't have to think about food so much.

My scale was tossed in the trash a while ago. It was driving me insaner. Each day I get anxious and worry that my clothes will be too small so that is a constant reminder to watch what goes in my mouth.

Leading the support group gives me renewed determination to use my tool. I still remember how it felt to be super morbidly obese. It hurts and I don't want to feel that pain again.

This will be a battle for the rest of my life. One I am determined to win!!

I love this forum and how we post "truth and struggles".

I've been going crazy this week and not taking time for myself. Next week will be better for me.
My success this week was not buying anything sweet at our "Farmer's Market" they have in the cafe' on Thursdays. Not much of a Farmer's Market when there is hardly any fresh veggies and fruits but vendors selling bakery goods...so I didn't buy anything.
Instead came back to my office and chewed on some beef jerky...when I really wanted those homemade cookies! LOL

I love the support on this forum. Tonight I walking my grand baby Holly all around, she loves the outside and so do I.

Oh yeah...we will all succeed one day in getting our regain off. Hugs to all. Debbiejean
