I need to change. I have been trying to loose weight since I was 16. Yet here I am almost back to my heaviest weight.
I am tired of feeling depressed.
I am tired of having a low self image.
I am tired of my clothes not fitting properly.
I have tried SO many different things and nothing has been long lasting. Some things have worked, but nothing lasted.
I KNOW how to loose weight. I know it takes healthy eating and exercise. My problem is making it a permanent habit.
I always get off track. I always get stressed and stuff my face. I always find some excuse to fail.
No more failing.
No more excuses.
I NEED to do this.
My goal is to be at my ideal weight by October 20th 2013. I want to be fit. I want to be healthy. I want to feel good about myself. I want to be healthy enough to get rid of all symptoms of PCOS so I can get pregnant naturally.
To motivate myself I have decided to set aside a certain amount of money to spend on a new wardrobe once I meet my goal. For extra motivation, Eric will get than money to spend on whatever he wants if I don't reach that goal. He has already promised me that he wouldn't try to sabotage me. Even the thought of him spending that money if I fail makes me kinda angry.
The sad part is that I don't know if this will be enough to keep me going. I hope it is. I don't know what else I can do to stay motivated.
Any ideas?

I'm a big believer in weight watchers. It teaches you portion control and you can still eat normal foods. It's a life style change... No gimmicks. I've been very successful in the past with it.
ReplyDeleteLove your honesty!
ReplyDeleteI actually tried weight watchers last year and loved it. But then I got pregnant and wasn't supposed to be on it anymore!
ReplyDeleteI would second the weight watchers sugggestion it is the only thing that has ever worked for me.
ReplyDeleteI think it's SO awesome you're doing this! What an encouragement to others and your family. You should be very proud of yourself:)
ReplyDeletejuicing worked wonders for me. it came off fast and stayed off - was really that simple. once you finish the detox stage, maintenance is as easy as a few juices for a few days. BUT, detoxing isn't recommended for breastfeeding... so in that case, this is useless!
ReplyDeleteMel, I did email you! Not sure if you got it...
