I am not going to gain 36 lbs back in two weeks.

Okay, so this probably won’t get read by too many people but it’s mostly a rant at this point.

I have been having a really hard time mentally trying to lose weight this past week. I’ve been trying my hardest to stay under my calorie count and push away the million food I’ve suddenly have had massive cravings for plus all the holiday goodies that I’ve been seeing all over social media.

But I realized it’s okay to take a break. I started this journey with myself six months ago in June and the only “breaks” i’ve had have been thanksgiving and when I saw my sister for a weekend....

I have no timeline. I’m in literally no rush to lose the other 34 lbs I want to lose. Yes, I should actively work at it if not I’ll never get to that goal, but if I’ve been really, really struggling with it, a nice two week break won’t undo the six months i’ve been at it. Sure, i’ll gain some lbs back but okay? What’s the problem with that? No biggie.

I’ve lost those few lbs already and I can lose them all over again starting Jan 3rd.
