This is effectively day 1... for the 3rd or 4th time. I don't know why or if this will be the last day 1, but this time I am trying to be honest with myself about my effort and my expectations.
The first Day 1 led to about 30 lbs lost, followed by a gain of about 40 lbs before I became pregnant with my first child. After giving birth, I weighted about 20 lbs less than the day I found out I was pregnant. Yay!
That was followed by another 40 lbs of weight gain leading up to getting pregnant with my second child. After the birth of my second child, I weighed about 10 lbs less than before I was pregnant. Yay!
Keeping with tradition, I gained about 15 lbs in the last 7 months.
I currently sit at about 210 lbs. I'm 5'6". (Don't ask me if I'm male or female. I just said I was pregnant, twice.) My goal weight is 130-140 lbs. I'd be very, very comfortable there.
For Day 1, I had a lovely day working from home, ate a few more cookies than I probably should have, but had less chocolate than I normally would have. I finished the day off with a long walk/jog that kicked my tail. I used to do that same route with no issues. Right after the walk/jog, I really felt like tomorrow will be another Day 1. Cookies and Pirate Booty are calling my name! I cooled down for a bit, started writing this, and now it doesn't seem so daunting.
Maybe tomorrow will be another Day 1, but maybe it won't.
If you made it down this far, thanks, and I have a few questions: 1. How do you keep your lack of endurance and physical fitness from holding you down, mentally and physically?
-
How do you get past the idea of, "It won't work for me?", or "I won't be able to maintain the loss," before you have a chance to hit your goal?
-
I have a hard time telling myself, "No," when I want something. Has anyone else had to get past that? Of so, how?
