I have really been on a roll, you know. Eating healthy and not even craving junk. Exercising and enjoying it. Feeling energetic. Losing weight.
Then I allowed myself to eat too much pie on Thanksgiving and while my weight is ok, my cravings and energy level are NOT. I have craved sweets and carbs and artificial junk that isn't really even food. I need to watch another food documentary and get repulsed at that kind of food again.
Eating pie on one day (Thanksgiving) got me out of the groove that I was in and I'm like a zipper that is out of whack and doesn't want to zip right.
NO. JUST NO. I will NOT allow myself to stay out of whack. NO>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. no.
I've had a headache for days. I have had no energy, wanted to sleep, sleep and sleep, and have felt sick. I have eaten cookies and white bread and a fake burger from McDonalds. I haven't gone over my calories (because I have to report my calories ever night and I don't want to look like a flop) but I reach the end of my calories before I reach the end of my day and I go to bed hungry. Right now it is 2:15 p.m., I am hungry and I have 500 something calories left for the rest of the day. wow.
Ok, that's enough bellyaching.
Now, to come up with a plan. Because I refuse to stay here. You lose weight when you are giving it ALL YOU HAVE and you start to regain it when you fail to give it all you have. I need a plan. A get-back-into-the-groove plan.
All I know is to do the things I know to do. Eat fruits, veggies, chicken. Nothing fake. Eat normal portions. Exercise. Keep reporting to my weight loss mentor each night. Drink water. Think positive thoughts. Do it regardless of how I feel or what I crave or what sounds better.
Just do it.
Because I refuse to go back to the old me. NO. THe answer is just no and that is final.
Yes, I've been talking to myself here. :)
NO, you haven't been talking to yourself....I've been listening.

You may be talking to yourself but you are never alone.
ReplyDeleteI have been where you are. What worked for me was to take three days at home - without sugar and flour or milkfat - without going to stores without eating out. The first day was easier than I would have thought. The second day was harder and I needed to reach out for help more. By the third day I remembered what it was all about and I wanted it more than anything. After that I got day 4 and then day five and then. . . . .
You can do this. ONLY you can do this for you.
