Hi,
Probably almost anyone who remembers me has finished losing weight and moved on! I registered here about seven years ago. In 2004 I lost 60 lbs, and had about 30 more to go.
Well, I've gained it all back. I've tried numerous times to lose again. I keep losing and gaining the same five lbs and giving up. I'm at the point where I feel I'll never lose weight, but I really don't want to give up.
I've had some injuries which have interfered with being able to exercise, but when they're not acting up, I have no problem with exercising four or five days a week.
It's really just the food. The odd thing is, I really LIKE fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein. One of my favorite breakfasts is fat free Greek yogurt with honey/fruit or low fat cottage cheese on whole wheat bread or oatmeal or wheat toast with peanut butter. I love big salads with lean protein thrown in. I hardly ever eat fast food or fried foods. However, I do have a horrible sweet tooth, and bread is a major downfall.
I know it's different for everybody, but now I can't remember what worked for me before, as far as getting into the right mind set. I know HOW to eat in a healthy way and I enjoy exercising. I just can't seem to get in the right mind set to do both at the same time and stick with it.
Thanks for any input-
Sherry
