Weight loss for the weak!
Eek! This is the really hard part. You don't have to put your weight in if you're not comfortable with it, but I feel like I'd be cheating if I didn't. So here it goes. Current weight: 235.
Ahhhhhh! I can't believe I just did that!
Struggles and victories of the weak!
Well, I'm not sure what to count this as, but my weight has been pretty steady for a while. I guess it's a struggle because it hasn't gone down, but a victory because it hasn't gone up.
I'm trying to look at the number objectively and not as the end-all-be-all of this struggle. I'm really starting to get turned on to the tenants of HAES movement (Healthy at every size), so I know that I need to look at my body as a whole to really gauge my health.
We did indulge in some fast food this week, which wasn't very good. I tried to listen to my bodies signals about fullness, and I did stop earlier on the pizza than I would have normally. I felt pretty good about that. Now I just need to focus on figuring out why I crave chocolate when I do, etc. You know, get at the real reason why I'm eating.
I've completely fallen off the exercise wagon. I was starting to do pretty well, but this week has been kinda ehh emotionally, so it's hard for me to get motivated to move at all, much less exercise. We did go for a really long walk yesterday, and I didn't get tired at all. I'm trying to count that as a victory and not let the nagging voice take it away from me.
How can I improve?
Exercise. Or at least get some kind of movement into my day.
I also need to start eating breakfast again. I was doing really well with it, then we skipped the grocery shopping for a bit. I can really tell a difference in my hunger levels and how I feel in general when I skip breakfast, and it's a bad habit I really need to break.
Thank you dear.

ReplyDeleteYou can doooo itt! I've lost 30 pounds now on my weight loss journey. THe first ten were the hardest to lose, but once they were gone it was pretty steady. I've kind of flatlined again, but I figure its because I need to actually start working out or something.
ReplyDeleteSo brave! Talking about weight, weight-loss, and my problems with food is the most difficult aspect of my SELF for me to be honest about.
ReplyDelete182 is my number. I am down 15lbs from giving up sugar/flour over the past two months, and joining a support group of others who struggle with food (free one). It's been a blessed journey.
