I started off this new year on my new year pursuit to lose weight- so so. i cut back somedays, but failed miserably due to my emotional eating tendencies and a couple days of too much stress, too many children and the stuff they eat, and fighting with my husband. I did make attempts to exercise as well. So that first week went south. Starting anew today. is anyone else having a hard time?
I am. Not every day is a complete success but I'm definitely trying to keep a forward momentum going by making better choices every day. Some days I'm great, other days not so much. But I consider it a work in progress. It's a journey and it takes time. Be patient and know you're definitely not alone in your struggles.
Welcome to the club - I think there are a lot of us recommitting after the holidays for obvious reasons. For me at least, I know from experience that once I'm in a groove, it's so much easier to keep going. I know that groove will come, I just have to fight my way out of my current RUT to change. You're climbing uphill out of your old patterns right now, soon you'll be getting used to a new way of eating and living. The beginning is always hardest, because you have to unlearn before you can learn. You can do it!
Starting over today
