Got a question about regain,,,
Sorry it took me so long to reply, but I was gone most of the day and then I had to unplug the computer due to a storm that moved in. I was so moved to get on here and see all the sweet and concerned replies! It made my day, and gave me hope that maybe I can conquer this feeling of failure that I have carried around for months. It helps to know there are others fighting the same battle, and have been there done that and succeeded. I have no support group here so it gets pretty lonely when the tough time****
I have been reviewing my behavior of recent weeks, and its not so much that I have been eating junk, although occasionally I do,,its that I have been grazing all day,,and eating too much of even the good stuff. The worst thing is, I have stopped exercising altogether. Last summer I walked 2-3 miles several times a week, this summer I have been sedentary. I lost my walking buddy and just gave up and became lazy. Now I have this stupid reasoning that I dont want the neighbors to see my gain so I stay pretty much inside when I am at home..
I never drink water any more. I drink coffee all day long, or unsweet tea, or milk. Anything bu****er.
I have decided its time to face the music,,really this time. I cant let this go on. I need to be brutally honest with myself and get back to what I know works.
So, I have made up my mind that I will ditch the diet mentality and go back to protein, water, vitamins and exercise. Linda, I will post on your thread, and I will be honest about every bite. I need the accountability and the support.
Most of all, I will appreciate the 120 pounds that I have kept off, and stop agonizing about the 20 that I have gained!
Thank you all so much to running to my rescue when I posted yesterday. I was so desperate and despondent. And thanks for letting me know that I am not ELDERLY! I think part of that thinking came fromt he fact that within two weeks last month three of my friends passed away, and they were all around my age. It makes ya think,,ok,,am I next??!
So, instead of thinking of them, Ill think of Cher and Dolly Parton,,after all, we are the same age! Ill wear my stillettos to church and be proud!!
So,,thanks again for the help and inspiration and encouragement,,and the spank on the bottom! You all, and this board, are the BEST!
Blessings!
