Can I really lose weight over the holiday?
At first I thought "It's alright. I'll just maintain. It'll be great, and I can start up again when I get back to college."
Now I'm thinking "I have a WHOLE MONTH off for this break. That could be a whole 'nother 8lbs lost upon my return! What a waste of a month it would be to just struggle to maintain...."
I definitely am NOT going allow myself to gain. I know better than that, because I KNOW how hard it was to drop that 5lbs in the first place!
But...can I lose? Really?
Is anyone else planning to drop weight and not just maintain it over this holiday?
I struggle losing when I go home because my family are all overeaters and my sister is even a binger. That coupled with the fact that I no longer have access to my 24hr college fit lab, or a track, or even a basic weight set...makes things even more of a challenge. My siblings have agreed to play basketball with me someday over the month span, and my brother has a gazelle he'd let me borrow. But my usually 7-day-a-week workouts will definitely decrease to 3-5days, and they just WON'T be as intense.
I know I can do ANYTHING if I TRY to...but I don't want to make this my goal only to miss it. Because then I will feel like a failure. And failing, in the past, is what drove me to quit.
Thanks, everyone, for listening to my rambles! Gain, maintain, or loss...I wish you all a happy holiday!
