Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on December 21, 2017

8 lbs. Thats how much I have to lose. For some, thats doable. For me, its hard. I havent passed the halfway mark, and I'm only down a couple of pounds. THIS IS SO HARD.

I knew it would be hard. I signed up because I wanted to challenege myself. I'm trying to stay motivated and on track. One of the most important things that I've done is track what I eat. Overall, I feel confident in sticking to my calories. I've only had 1 evening that I went over a lot and chose not to track. However, since then I have track everything. Even today when I consumed 800 calories worth of chocolate. Yes, you read that right. 800 CALORIES. I tracked it all. Even though Im not proud of that, I didnt go too far over my calories.

I know that I have to reach my goal to win. If I dont reach my goal I fear that I am going to quit.

Even if I dont reach my goal, I hope that I can get close enough to it to keep going. I dont want to give up.

Have you tried changing anything else? Sometimes could be something else needed to combine with your calorie restriction, more sleep? More water? Less salt? Certain times of the month also just get bloated, can make it feel like no progress, then a few days later you can see the progress on the scale, hormones changing thru the month..

I sympathize with you, I have several more lbs to lose for the next 2 weeks, and I started getting very hungry yesterday. We had mushroom ravioli with butter for dinner, and about 30 minutes later my stomach was gnawing with hunger. I had a cup of tea. 20 minutes later still hungry, got a small piece of cheese. Next thing I know I had eating 2 oz of cheddar (no crackers etc). Later I was still hungry, had a glass of water, and ended up eating part of a coconut chocolate bar, was one of those fancy bars where you break off squares, and I managed to only eat one row, whereas in the past I may have finished the whole bar. When I went to bed I was over on calories for the day, disappointing, need to find other healthy snacks to eat when the calorie deficits get to me. I had stopped purchasing junk, the cheese and coconut bar were already in the house, found the bar last week when going thru a drawer. Definitely helps if you don't have this stuff in the house.

Even if you don't reach your goal, you are already a winner because you have made a major change-tracking your food!! Stick with this habit and try another diet bet in the future. Then add one more thing like walking 30 minutes per day. Good luck! You can do IT!
