And so it begins again

Wednesday, May 02, 2012

I won't lie. I don't think it's going to work.

I have so much to motivate me and every time I think I'm going to change my life, I flake out. I watch as my weight continues to spiral out of control, but I'm not really going back and forth. I have steadily been getting heavier and heavier all my life. I had a few healthy years, off and on, but nothing that really stuck.

I hate eating healthy. Always have.

Exercise can be fun, but I like privacy for that which means no gyms, no going out for walks and rarely do I have time at home.

I'm a grad student so finding spare time to do any planning at all is nearly impossible.

So I have little faith that I'm going to do any better this time than the many times before, but maybe one day, maybe one time, it'll be the time that works. So I might as well keep trying.

  Thanks for the encouragement. I'm definitely going to need a lot of it as I begin, but it does feel good to be healthy and I really want that again.

    YOU CAN DO IT!!!! emoticon
Think of getting a healthy lifestyle in small consistent doses. So, maybe start with 8 - 10 glasses of water a day and cut out the sweet drinks OR start by tracking water and just breakfast for the first few weeks or month. Then move to a health snack after bfast for a month that's a meal and a smack down. You'll begin to feel better and before you know it you've added lunch in. . . You can also try to keep eating what you're eating but in portion size until you get the handle of healthier planned meals.

But, how can you know you can't do it until you start trying to do it. . . emoticon

And remember, nothing tastes as good as being healthy feels!!!

    You have to believe in yourself to get anywhere with weight loss. Someone who says 'I can't or I probably can't' is setting themselves up for failure. You CAN do it! I have found that tracking my foods has helped me the most. I won't lie.. Sometimes I think 'Well maybe I'll just have a snack.' But then I start thinking about how badly I want to be skinny(er anyways). How badly I want to walk in public without feeling like someone is staring at me because I am overweight. Then I realize that snack doesn't sound so good anymore.
