So the scale isn't moving and it's just not making me happy. With that said I'm starting to loose my mojo and I'm not happy with that. I'm beggining to fall back on old patterns of eating behavior and it upsets me that I am even thinking of going back on that route. And not that I am eating extremely horrible, but I'm not watching my food 100% like I was. I am currently weighing 168.6 lbs and I have been there for a while. It's a dissapointment when I have been averaging 10-12 lbs a month and in the last 3 months I have lost 10-12 in total. It is also due to the fact that I am so close to my goal, that it may make me feel like I can splurge here or there since I'm almost there. I really want to hit my 100 lb weight loss by my 1 year band anniversary next month on the 17th.
So far I am trying to walk on my lunch break to add that little extra workout and hope it helps. I really hate the winter because it puts me in a hibernation state. Even though here in Southern California it's not snowing or any major weather issue that would stop me from going outside, but 54 degree weather for me is freezing ok..lol. I just hope that writing and reading your responses telling me to get my ass up and go will help me a bit. I need 8 more lbs to reach my goal...I need to get there....at this point it looks like I will be crawling there LOL....
until next time ♥XOXO♥

Take a deep breath and see the shiny side of the coin, too.
ReplyDeleteFor starters, mojo is a personal choice - you know that. When you are ready, you will. What's holding you back?
But more importantly, see the shiny side of the coin. You aren't really trying and you are sampling maintenance by "splurging here or there". That's ok. I am nowhere near goal but I have played with maintenance a few times to see if I can get a feel for what it's like. And it turns out, I had to do a lot of undoing to go backwards. It was literally more work than not to go backwards. That really made me relax and say, alright then, I can enjoy the journey, too.
You will get there and you absolutely can get there by your anniversary. But live your life getting there, too, is what I say.
Maria,
ReplyDeleteYou are doing amazingly. I WISH I was averaging 10 lbs per month and I am only 3 months out from surgery.
I am sure you can do this. You are right, the closer you are to goal, the harder it will be. But you are so close. Keep working at it and remember, 54 degrees is balmy here in Colorado this time of year. Put on a couple layers and walk, walk, walk.
