Trying to look at the BIG picture
Hi Everyone!!
So I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about my weight gain and my strong efforts to get back on track. What I have looked at is that over 7 years ago I was HUGE and out of control. I weighed in at 270 which is big for someone who's height is only 5 feet 1 inch. I lost over 135 pounds and kept it off for quite awhile (yay me) So the years flew by and I allowed myself to almost forget where I once was. Back in the day losing 30 to 35 pounds was like NOTHING and was achievable. This is not difficult (HAHA) I mean I am trying to see the big picture and I realize that 35 pounds is something that I can do If I put my mind to it.I need to get my head in the game. I have to stop telling myself little stories like "If I am good all week then Saturday and Sunday I can eat stuff" WRONG WRONG WRONG...I can be good all week and then the two days I go off I put back what I tried to take off all week...DOES ANYONE ELSE DO THIS TOO????????
Anyway, today is day 4 of a streak of good eating and healthier "thinking" habits...Geez I know I can do this...I need to get through an entire weekend of being on track and in the right mind set. I KNOW all the rules, I am a PRO at this and yet I still screw up...ITS NUTS!!!!
Heres hoping that this is it and that I can continue to be focused
Thank you everyone for support and emails, I REALLY appreciate it.
I am happy to be back with obesity help!!
Blessings and Peace
