A disastrous weigh in week I’m afraid. I was so pissed off I didn’t even calculate how much I’d gained – it’s not much more than a couple of pounds as far as I know but it’s a bloody gain.
It’s not that I can’t behave myself with food – I’ve proven to myself that I can behave and eat properly – for the most part I don’t even binge – I just make unhealthy choices. The problem is, I live an extremely eventful life and I get totally distracted from eating the right thing. You see, the life I lead means that most ordinary hiccups have complications, sometimes to the extent that it sounds like you’re making it up!
What I’m trying to figure out is, how do I stay focussed and weather life’s interruptions? I have the best of intentions, but despite my best efforts, I always seem to end up having to take shortcuts. I know preparation is key, but sometimes there aren’t enough hours in the day or enough energy in the body for that matter!
I’m just finding it so frustrating, not being able to get anywhere. I keep hearing about people who are yo-yo dieters, who lose vast amounts of weight but can’t keep it off. I’ve never been like that – I just never managed to lose a big enough amount of weight to get any kind of satisfaction – just a stone here or there but nothing big.
I firmly believe that this weight loss battle is fought and won in the mind and I need to figure out what’s making me tick in this department. I’ve learned a bit about what way I am with food so far, but obviously I have a ways to go.
On the up side I guess I haven’t totally lost touch cos I’m blogging eh…..
