I know the first step is admitting you have a problem.
I admit I am fat. F.A.T.
Okay, now that I did that... why can't I stay motivated to change the problem? I love the feeling of stepping on the scale and seeing a loss. I love the feeling I have during and after dancing. I lost a lot of weight years ago (not in a very healthy way), I loved the feeling of trying on clothes and realizing I needed to go down a size. I loved being able to walk in a department store and browse and actually pick exactly what I wanted to wear,...not settle on something that just fits. I love reading blogs and seeing people posting personal weight loss journey pictures. They all seem so happy.
WHY. CAN'T. I. FIND. THAT. MOTIVATION?
I tried the whole weight loss with a buddy. That failed.
I've tried Weight Watchers. I failed that that too.
I've tried Atkins. I wanted to either jump off a ledge..or push the person nearest to me.
I've tried portion control. I'm weak.
I've tried pushing myself to make others proud. I don't seem to care anymore.
My doctor told me I would be healthier if I lost weight. I haven't been back to the dr. in 3 years.
I've even seriously imagined the whole anorexia/bulimia thing. I love food too much.
I don't know how people psych themselves up to DO IT. I avoid being in pictures at ALL costs. I used to keep a picture of me on the fridge... that didn't even help. I need Billy Blanks in my face - screaming at me. I need Richard Simmons to hug me and tell me it will be alright. I HAVE support. I have wonderful friends that get excited with me when I brag about a loss. They support me when I have a gain. So what the hell is wrong with me? Maybe I'm just lazy...and there truly is no other reason.
I really wish I knew so I could fix it.
I have been working out...but I ate two cupcakes today. lol
