Last night on my way from home from work, I mulled over, why do I keep failing at this weight loss? As of last Friday I went off the deep end and started eating everything in sight and neglected to workout. I don't understand how I can be so motivated and sabotaging in the same breath? Where does this attitude stem from? It's not like I don't have all the tools to be successful at my weight loss, it's not like I've never done it before. I clearly cannot eat everything and still lose weight, I can't stop working out and expect my weight to go down...I've come to that conclusion loud and clear (thank you scale).
Earl Nightingale summed up a thought that I frequently visit when trying to lose my weight...it's going to take so long for me to get to my healthy weight. I see the bigger picture of needing to lose 40 pounds and I feel panick of having to change my entire lifestyle. This is not just 10 pounds, this is not just for vanity.This is for my health, for my future. This person who exercises every day and eats like a rabbit does not feel like me. There is a definite struggle with letting go of the old me and becoming the new me. While I truly want the new me to make it's presence, it feels awkward. I need to realize that putting in the effort that is needed to accomplish this weight loss will be so rewarding when I actually accomplish the goal. I've fallen off the wagon but I'm ready to get back on and show myself I can do this.
How can I make my weight loss a success. Here is a chart, at 1 pound a week I can lose 7 pounds before New Years. I now have a goal that I will track in this chart. Each time I workout It will be tracked. At the end of the chart I will indicate if I've met my 7 pounds weight loss goal as well, I'll post a picture. If you are reading this blog and you have tips you would like to share, please comment or send me an email. I enjoy hearing success stories, strategies and words of encouragement.- 2dash3creations@gmail.com
****I've moved my chart to it's own post so I can use it as an ongoing tracker for my workouts*******
