I'm still here, I'm still working on getting rid of the fat, I'm still struggling to make it stick. I'm still frustrated because I can't seem to string enough good days together to make the losses permanent and avoid the gains. I continue to lose at least 2 pounds a week but also continue to gain them right back by slipping up and eating things I shouldn't be eating. It's so hard for me to lose those 2 pounds and so easy for them to find their way back to my *ss.
I refuse to give up because that is just not an option. I'm determined to get rid of my fat for good no matter how long it takes me to get there.

You WILL get there. I know it's frustrating.
ReplyDeleteToo bad frustration doesn't burn calories...
I get frustrated too. I feel like sometimes the weight comes on quicker than it leaves. All part of the process though. :-) Hope you have a better day today.
ReplyDeleteweight loss is SOOO frustrating. try to be forgiving for those days that you slipup, because getting frustrated and upset can just lead you into a downward spiral and you are better than that. dont focus so much on being perfect or having a perfect day, just focus on doing the best that you can. a lot of the time even if you mess up, just by righting yourself and getting back on track you can still succeed.
ReplyDeleteWe all fight the same battle. Just hang in there.
ReplyDeleteTake each day at a time like you are doing and try not to over analyze it some much. Maybe if you do not focus and try so hard to maintain, things will start happening naturally.. it is funny out that happens. The moment you stop emphasizing on something things seem to fall into place. Don't beat yourself up. Great Work!
ReplyDeleteCammy, Chews to Lose, Heather, Scale Junkie and Krist Summer: Thanks so much for the support. It means so much to be able to b*tch and moan and know you all will be there supporing me no matter how many pounds are lost, gained or won't budge. I really appreciate your kind words and encouragement.
ReplyDeleteOMG!! I'm SO there with you!! I'm up 8 lbs from my lowest weight right before Thanksgiving. I was amazed that I basically maintained over the holidays, but now I'm having a HORRIBLE time kicking it into gear. I'm still down about 25 lbs overall, but I've been playing with 4-5 lbs since the beginning of the month. Thank goodness I'm getting some exercise in or I don't know where I'd be. I just need to focus and get on the ball. Good Luck!!
ReplyDeleteMy weight and measurements fluctuate as does my self perception. It is such a burden to look back at pictures (1 month, 1 year, ten years, whatever) and realize that at each point in that time, I had beat myself up over how I looked and felt (even though I wish now I looked like that). Even when it isn't intentional, a little voice just reminds me of all that negative talk, reinforcing it. My perception tends to stay the same regardless of how my body changes, for better or 'worse'. I'm working on fat acceptance, but I'd really like to have less to have to accept, haha. Sorry to write a book here. I guess my point is, that I can relate to the frustration and it would be nice to change the mind set along with the numbers. Reading about others challenges make me feel less crazy. Going to the gym consistently led me to drop 30 lbs earlier last year. Although I felt and looked better, I still had that nagging negative voice. Then I pretty much stopped going and it all came back, quickly. So back to square one.. This time, I need to relish the changes as they occur no matter how small or slow. Food for thought. Thanks for sharing your goals and frustrations.. :)
ReplyDeleteLosing weight is soooo hard. But you've got the right attitude. They say slow and steady wins the race and I believe that. Hang in there and you'll do fine!

ReplyDeleteGood for you! Just remember, it's not about how you look... It's about your health. And you don't want to give up on your health.

ReplyDeletePreciseDisarray: Thanks for the encouragement. Makes me wonder where we would be if we were content with ourselves and not always beating ourselves up over the current state.
Vicki: I definitely have the "slow" part down ;)
