I am so over myself....been so "woe is me" of late and letting myself down. Rightio I have had a bit of a bad run of late health wise...but does that mean I have to eat so unwisely. I know what I am doing to myself ....reaching out and losing myself in food is NOT going to help me. The scales told me tonight I need to do something before I let myself get out of control completely.
I am self-destructing, emotions on top of emotions are over-whelming me.....so I am reaching out and hoping that I can find the strength inside myself to carry on. I have so much to look forward too so I will not quit, I have to dig deep.
You will find a way Jen.. you know you will feel better in yourself when you get back on track... Its bloody hard I know..I am struggling too but maintaining... Want more off just cant seem to get moving again...
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are still having health issues... Take care and have a good week...
Dear Jen,
ReplyDeleteKeep your chin up! I know you can do it & get back on track. It's hard when there's so many distractions, and like you I'm an emotional eater.. I think that as long as we are aware of it we can curb it to a degree but there will be times where we just have to "go with the flow" and get back to it when we feel stronger. Even if you are stuggling with the eating try and keep up the walking.
Glad to read that you had such a wonderful time with Kylee. Maybe they will move back at some point in the future??
Take care, love chris xxx
Don't worry Jen, just the fact that you are watching yourself and having these thoughts will help you get back in control. I have to admit at first when you reached goal weight you made maintenance look so easy (to me), but lets face it, its not. But keeping monitoring ourselves I'm sure is the difference between maintaining the new and returning to the old. I've been up and down with my weight over the last 12 months - but never really far from a healthy weight because I keep refocusing- just are too and you will be back in no time.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lisa - I also thought you made maintainance look quite easy. You've come such a long way and you know you won't go back there. I'm sure you do have the strength to get back into it again. It reaaly is a life time committment and we are all going to have spells where it isn't easy. Dig deep - you can do it!
ReplyDeleteSending you heaps of hugs. Know what you're going through with the hormone thing and everything. But you will dig deep and find it within yourself - because you can and you will.

I know how you are feeling at the moment but I also know how strong you are. Take a deep breath and onwards and upwards.
