...I exercise regularly and eat however I want.
The past 2 weeks maybe, I've not been dieting. I've just been eating however I want. 75% of the time its ok...not like I've been living on fried bacon and ice cream, but I haven't been counting or watching. I find that most of the time I still eat relatively healthy (which isn't my down fall)...the problem is I either eat too much of a good thing, or say we go out to eat, I order whatever looks good, or I snack more than I would if I were dieting...obviously I have flaws in my eating habit otherwise I wouldn't be overweight to begin with!!
But even through eating however, I've stayed with the gym, which I do enjoy. I workout about 4-5 times a week, about 1 hour cardio and then weights, alternating muscle groups.
And I'm happy in my days!!!!! (Just not with my weight ) Ugh! When I'm counting and measuring, skipping this, can't have that because I'll go over calories, and "how can I make this in a lower calorie version???"..I'm so unhappy. What can I say, maybe I love food, maybe I want something more when I can't have it...either way, if I dont count calories, I'm not going to lose any more weight, and I'm not happy where I'm at. (I've basically maintained the past few weeks)
I guess I cant have my cake and eat it too...lol...but it just stinks. Boooo. I've thought about relaxing during this maintenance phase, and when I get the motivation to lose again, then try and lose maybe another 5 or 10 lbs, then take and break and so on.
Has anyone taking breaks from weight loss? Not the kind of breaks where we gain wieght back! lol, I've taken those breaks before, but breaks where you eat sensibly, but dont restrict and continue with regular exercise until your ready for another go at dieting.
