Gaining....
Oct 08, 2012
So I thought it best that I come back "home" where I feel safe to air out my frustrations and get support.Since my 40th birthday celebration, I've not been working out nor eating like I should. I've managed to GAIN 6lbs!
I know you're probably thinking 6lbs is nothing, but to me it's EVERYTHING!!! My clothes are starting to fit a little tighter and I'm just "uncomfortable" in them. I constantly complain about it to my husband and he's not trying to hear it. He thinks I look great and really can't see any difference in my appearance. His solution is to "go up a size" in my clothes!!! WTF? Really? I try to tell him that that's the LAST thing I want to do. He doesn't understand the struggle and how women view clothes and their bodies otherwise, he would have never said to go up a size. He doesn't understand what the "big deal" is...after all, no one is "looking" at my tag to see what size I'm in and if going up a size will make me more comfortable and "look" more comfortable, that's what I should do. SMH....men just DON'T UNDERSTAND.I'm thankful my husband is trying to be supportive, but this is NOT what I need nor WANT to hear!
My other problem is - I've not been working out as I should. I'm only working out for 30 minutes, 2xs a week, which is NOTHING compared to what I use to do. I've just gotten lazy.....I want to plop in front of the TV and watch Real Housewives of New Jersey and pig out on sweets.....all night. I recognize this behavior and know that I shouldn't be doing it, but I can't seem to get control of my mind and stop. Yes, I know it's wrong and I feel guilty about it....before I reach for the bag of Lays potato chips and AFTER I eat them. I oftentimes find myself "sneaking" into the kitchen after everyone has gone to bed and indulging on chips, Vanilla Oreo cookies, soda, cake....It tastes SOOO GOOD, but I feel so bad afterward.
I know I've stretched my pouch because I can eat an entire sandwich now, whereas I use to only be able to eat 1/2 a sandwich.I've got to make a change and quick because I don't want to continue to gain weight and end up back to where I started. I'm sure my HATERS would relish in the "I knew she wasn't gonna keep it off" talk....I WILL NOT GIVE THEM THE SATISFACTION of saying that!!!!!
It's so hard for me to get motivated right now. I joined Gold's Gym last month, but I've only been 3 times! I'm ashamed, but I'm being honest.
Help me OH family and tell me how I can get control of my cravings and get motivated to workout again so I can shed these unwanted pounds.
