Hello fellow poundage losers. I hope your journey has been much more productive than mine. I have somewhat of a revalation of mine to share today. It's kind of a tough pill to swallow. I was cleaning a new home last week and every appliance in their kitchen was touch screen. While trying to wipe out the microwave, I noticed that the stove top/oven would randomly turn on.. After a few times, it hit me that the reason was my "over hang" as I like to call it, of my belly would skim the surface of the oven and turn it on. That in turn lead me to have to suck my "over hang" in and try to hold my mid-section away from the stove. I found this funny. Im not really sure if I REALLY thought it was funny, or if I was laughing at it becuase, although comical, it is a little depressing and I was trying to lighten the "UUUUGGGGGGG"-ness of it.
I told a friend this story, and she said, " Why do you think that is? I mean you work out ALL the time." And I do. I am at the gym 3-4 times a week, then all the calorie burning my job gives me. there is no reason why I should have over-hang getting in my way. Ive said it before and Ill say it until I can get it through my own head.. EATING. I just can't seem to decide to make the changes I need to gain some ground. I know that if I just change the eating, added to what I am already doing physically then I would get to where I want to be...... But I don't know why I'm not....
So as long as I keep this up, I will forever be on a treadmill. Not getting anywhere. I guess I'm just waiting for my AH HA moment and my size 8 pants to magically fit....
Tredmill.
I am coming clean this week myself, sweetheart. I have been sabotaging my diet for over 4 months now. That is why I haven't reached my goal weight. I would think that after my hip being fixed that I would be more mobile, which I am, but I have been retreating back to my old ways as well. The end result is that I am back up in my weight as well. What you put in your mouth does matter. I had a soul bearing moment at my weight loss place this past Monday and boy did it make me feel better. I told them everything that I was doing and promised that I would not withhold any more bad food that I consumed. So far for the first three days, I have been really good, except for an extra serving of grapes last night but I put it on my food journal and showed it to them this morning. Journal your food every day and it will open your eyes to what goes in the mouth. It is also a moment of thought to think that; do I want to eat that because I have to write it down. Portion control is important too. Leave yourself a little less full than the time before-but eat.
ReplyDeleteEnough of my banter right now. Just thought I would respond and tell you how much I love you and believe in you. You are one of the most determined women that I know.- Love, Dad
