I don't want to admit this, but I really think it's best that I do. I've been a pig lately. Really. I had gone back to doing weight watcher points, I was getting a handle on it, and enjoying my food more than ever. I always enjoy my food more when I limit it and eat mindfully--that's why I was able to lose the 60 lbs before. I REFUSE to go hungry, eat food that's yucky or completely give up the foods that I love in order to lose weight. And I learned that I could do it. It was a shock to me-never having had any will power in the past. But beside enjoying my food more than ever, there was such a sense of well-being that came that I just stuck with it--not perfectly, of course, but really stuck with it til I'd lost the weight. But after getting to goal, the eye of the tiger was gone and I haven't been able to get it back. So, not being one to give up, and being the eternal optimist that I am--I continue to try over and over again. Anyway, I was doing great (for a whole three days) and then, I don't know what happened, but all willpower went out the window. It has officially left the building and suddenly I'm this mindless eating machine! I HATE that!! I feel bloated and weak and pitiful, but I just keep doing it this week! WHIMPER!!
This whole thing is, to say the least, mortifying to admit, but maybe, if I can admit it here, just maybe I'll do something about it. See, told you I was an optimist.
Mindless eating machine? How well you describe my past experiences. I'm having the same struggles right now. Maybe we could encourage each other. I've always known you could accomplish anything you really put your mind to (ever since you got up every morning to catch a bus to pick raspberries{which you hated doing}) Hang in there. Love you!!
ReplyDeleteAwe!!! Thanks! Your faith in me is just what I need. The next time I'm tempted to start up the machine, I'm going to remember what you said and summon up the will power to do something else instead!!!
ReplyDeleteI sure love you!
