argh.
I gained weight this week - I am up 1.8lbs right now. I am at 283lbs / 20st 3lbs / 128.6kg.
3390 cals in yesterday with none out.
My super plan fell through the cracks once again because I didn't feel like it.
I have some new stresses to deal with, but if I just get off my fat ass and work out some I will actually get where I need to be. My calories were bad yesterday as it was another quickie meal for us. And of course feeling like poo just made me want to eat everything.
So what am I going to do? Every day seems like I am just trying to psych myself up to get moving and get eating right. And it really is just that. I am sorry that I am venting so much, but I don't want to do this at my co-workers or my husband. And I figure that some of you have been where I am at. I guess the biggest step has already been taken - getting on here and tracking everything. I need to get moving on to the next step and the next step, etc.
How did you do it? Seriously - how did you get to the next step?

The thing is, it's all in your mental state. I don't know how to explain it, but whenever I actually manage to lose weight, it's because something clicks in my head and it just happens naturally. But you can't force these things. That being said, you can't just wait around for it either...
ReplyDeleteI found, that for me, the best thing is to just accept the fact, that I am flawed, that I am not perfect, and that resorting to eating is my method of dealing with stress and negative (and unfortunately positive) things. I try not to beat myself up about it, because it just makes it worse. Instead I try to stop and think, find out if there's something I CAN do at that moment. I try to take it bite by bite, meal by meal, not focus on the future and how much more I have to do, but on what I will do in the next few hours.
Also, I find that sometimes it helps to reward myself for doing things right, not just losing weight. So if I'm having a real difficult week, I make a promise, that if I make it to Sunday without bingeing, I get a new lipstick, pair of pants or what ever I feel like pampering myself with! I try to remember that it's not just about the numbers on the scale, it's also about eating right, even if the numbers are too persistent for my good! ;o)
Try to remember that you're a worthwhile person no matter what your weight. Beating yourself up over this will only make it worse.
All the best! :o)
