Default Just to be accountable

Weird day. Apparently I'm shrinking. Luckily the girl who made that claim meant it in a good way.

It's been a long time since I posted something, but I needed a moment of clarity and accountability, so here we go.

I couldn't tell you how much I weighed at my heaviest. Because I refused to weigh myself. Conservatively I'd say 285. I lived abroad for a year and whittled myself down to 210. In the two years since I've rotated between working at losing and maintaining, and today I'm between 189-192.

But I'm feeling like the time has come to start pushing again and I've been struggling. It's not like I don't know what works for me, but it's been a challenge to make myself get back to those things - eating clean, food journal and workouts. (Actually the workouts have been going pretty well. I've just been running, but I'm really enjoying it)

So I decided to come here and put it in print to try to help myself gear up. I have to get back to journaling. The last 2 days my eating has been out of control, and I know that writing things down forces me to be more conscientious of my intake. Easy to say, but I've been avoiding.

For the first time I really feel ready to shift back into my losing mindset and finish my journey. And hopefully this post will help. Wish me luck!

Good luck! Hopefully your mind will get in the right space soon and it will click.

i can't stress myfitnesspal enough. its just something that i love now and it really seems to be working for me. i love how you can add friends and it keeps you up to date on what everyone is accomplishing and you can see what everyone else is eating. makes you want to jump in and share your own accomplishments, and knowing that everyone can see what you've been eating (if you choose) makes you think!

you can download the app to your phone and scan barcodes so it plugs in the information for you automatically.
