Sammy, you're my hero. I'm up here (scale-wise) at 129.8 and that's just not okay with me. I'm used to staying pretty comfortable in the lower 120s but over the past year I've gained about 10 pounds and can't stay in the game long enough to shimmy them off of my bod again! Ideally, I'd like to be 110ish but like Dora says, maybe I have some sort of fear of hitting 120. It's like I want it but I purposely try to sabbotage myself from getting there. In reality, it shouldnt be that hard for me to lose the weight I've recently aquired but it's almost as though the excitement and anticipation of number chasing make me eat in the opposite direction. Does that make any sense to anyone? It's like when I first started eating well and losing weight (a few years ago) it was so simple. It's just eat less, sacrifice very little (substitutions are so easy) and the weight happily comes off. I dont think the formula has changed but I think mentally I get in there and make a huge roadblock sign that says "Detour: Eat to pass (or sit on your butt to pass...)" It's like my body is trying to cheat the system and get as much food/as little exercise as I can and still try to get the results. The equation is so easy.... why am I determined to make it harder? Gahhh....
Hope you girls are still around to chat. I think posting is helpful.
