Last
year, I lost 50 pounds. But in the last 6 months I gained 30 back. I
joined the yo-yo club! I know that if I don't stop this uplifting
pattern, I'll be back to where I started and add some more.
In
the previous 6 months, I have posted couple of time about getting
back to the health path... LIES. All LIES! I was letting my guilt do
the talking with empty words while stuffing my face with junks. The
logic behind this was to calm my conscience by sending it a message
that everything will be fine.
I'm
taking steps to get back in my leaner wagon. The first one... for the
next week, I'll drink ONLY water. I love the stuff (I will never
frankly say). Already, this morning there was NO coffee, and you know
what, I didn't need it, I can deal with the shake!
Thanks
to Natalie who honestly post about her own falling off this weekend,
I started to think that I was doing so much worst than a weekend
laps but was not honest about it. You just can't fix a problem if you
ignore it!
That's
it, I'm virtually kicking myself but taking steps right NOW to get
back on track. I know I can! I know I can!
It's all about starting over, at least for me. I lost around 30 last year, then gained back 15 or so, and have been very slowly trying to get back into the groove. I've lost maybe 12 1/2 pounds in the first 4 months of the year, so it's hard to stay focused. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel, you are right, staying focus is not easy but it's manageable!
DeleteSo, statistically speaking, you lost 20 pounds last year. Yay!
ReplyDeleteAnd now, you just have to adopt nice well-behaved healthy habits. On a permanent basis. :)

It's a slow process and I'm not that patient LOL
DeleteMy life is doing well and living healthy, then totally not. :) The important part is to keep getting back to it.
ReplyDeleteFor about 20 years I didn't care much about getting back to it but now I'm back (most of the time :) ) and feel great!
DeleteWell I'm still drinking tea but I've cut out sugar for the billionth time. Mostly I drink water with a squeeze of lemon. I used to drink cordial, and I started adding less and less to each glass until I was having about a spoonful. Then I switched to real lemon. Now cordial is so sweet and fake it is disgusting! But plain water is still too blah.
ReplyDeleteI'm on a one day streak of clean eating! I'm going to beat you to 75kg. I even have a timeline, it's about 8 weeks to my birthday and I want to be 75 kg by then and buy lots of new clothes.
You know if you win our race, I'll be really happy for you, plus I'll crossed the line in second place which is not too bad LOL
DeleteIt's like quitting smoking. You don't always get it right on the first try! I like Natalie's style. She documents her day and rates it. Talk about being totally honest with yourself!
ReplyDeleteYes Natalie is a great example of honesty and accountability. I never quit smoking because i never started, Ouf on that one LOL
DeleteThe victory isn't in never falling off the bandwagon....the true victory is picking yourself up...recognizing it and hopping back on!!!!! Good job!!!
ReplyDeleteWe'll be here to cheer you along the way.
