In the last year and a half I have lost 30lbs through hard work and determination…and gained back 30lbs by letting things slide and giving up. This week I started over again from square one. I knew I didn’t have the mindset to go back to the strict dieting I did to lose the 30lbs. I just don’t have the motivation right now.But I knew I had to do something. From advice I got from this sub I am making some small changes to start..hoping that my mental edge will get its juices flowing. After I gained the weight back I was eating a lot of ice cream and candy bars. My first step was to stop that. I didn’t make any other changes…just no ice cream and candy bars. Other than that I ate what I wanted. I knew I wouldn’t lose weight with that small change, but I knew it would begin to give me the beginnings of a sense of control. Once I had that established I started paying attention to when I ate out of boredom. I wasn’t hungry at all…I just wanted the pleasure of eating. I been working on that aspect for about a week. I know these are baby steps but it is working. Not in actually losing weight..but getting my mind in the right place.
Soon I will begin lowering my calorie intake little by little. And then I should see some results on the scale.
Because of the place I was in, I knew I had to do this slow. Wish me luck.
