I haven't been on here in a while and feel like I have lost some accountability for myself. I was doing great and then just stopped posted and keeping track. Now I'm back up to 162 and trying to go down. I feel like a failure in a way but I'm happy to try and fix the situation.
Hi Lilies! You're not a failure. Weightloss isn't a matter of struggling and subsequently failing... Any success will come from a belief that you are worthy of it; rather than self-imposed will-power or trying to force yourself into certain behaviors. I've come to learn that will-power does not exist. If I believe I am worthy of a happy, healthy life, then my body and mind will guide me into the appropriate solutions to have that come to fruition. You can do it this time, good luck!!
I am exactly the same way! I ump on the bandwagon enthusiastic, only to fall off after a few weeks :/ But 3FC is really helping me to stay motivated! Good luck!
Hey! Thanks LaurenM427. I keep having to remind myself that I don't need to eat sweets when I get upset or just as a bored behavior. I was doing ok until things started so slowly creep up as I find that I was eating junk more than regular food.
Skinnyelle! I haven't talked to you in a long time! It seems you are doing while by your stats. Were you planning on maintaining at 150? I would still really like to go to the 130s. Maybe I need to re evaluate my goal to something I've obtained before like 137.
GordonGirl16-- Yes I think the bandwagon is something to be concerned about. I've been doing weight loss since before I started posting here but this is the first time after I really told myself that I'd never do it again that it's actually happened. I'm just happy that I was able to catch it before I when back to my starting weight.
I think doing small goals is a good idea. Definitely less stress. I'm trying to do at least 30 minutes a day of exercise instead of telling myself I need a certain amount of hours a week to exercise. I'm just realizing how much I need to make exercise a priority in my life. It keeps me balanced. If I could get in the 120s I think I would probably start crying. I don't think I've been there since like middle school or something.
Starting Over
Glad we are both back on 3FC.
