I am ready to make a change. The last 4 years have been though but that is no excuse. In 2011, I was down 40 pounds, at a healthy weight and stronger than I had been in my entire life. I felt great. I swore I would never let myself gain that weight back again. I knew how hard it had been to take it off.
Well here I am again, with 45 pounds to lose this time. I am in that place that I swore I would never be in again. In a self defeating cycle that just keeps going round and round. In my experience, i am either mentally prepared and ready to make a change or I am not. There is no in between for me. It's all or nothing.
That is part of what needs to change. How do I stay in the right frame of mind all the time? How do I stop defeating myself. I truely is self defeat. If I look at a cookie and eat it anyway knowing I have done nothing to make up for the calories, I have defeated myself.
So, I say stop!! Stop sitting on the couch instead of going for a walk. Stop eating fast food because, well it's fast. Stop! Stop! Stop!
