Struggling

Its been a while in between posts, mainly because I have been struggling with eating well and exercise for the past month, well exercise hasn't been too much of a problem but eating has been a big one.

Basically all I want to do is eat, and eat lots of it. I haven't been following any program and no that I have put on a little bit of weight, I don't know exactly how much cause I haven't been game to get on the scales (let alone go to weight watchers). I can see it in the mirror and feel it in my clothes. I also feel it on myself and I'm feeling pretty yucky about myself right now..

If only I could get my head from out of the clouds and get motivated again to stick to the weight watchers points plan. I did think about quitting but I know that I will only spiral out of control and probably end up weighing more than I did when I started this journey. I also thought about going 1 on 1 at the lifestyle centres but that isn't covered by unlimited and funds are pretty tight right now (Brad is off work with a shoulder injury and isn't getting paid). I also realise my life is worth more than $20 per week but as I said funds are pretty tight...

I need to be accountable to someone just not sure who, well apart from myself that is. Mmmm might just need to be accountable to this blog until such time as I'm back on track... Mmmm I'm also thinking this weight loss journey is going to be a bumpy ride for a little bit longer...

I also have the flu right now so I haven't been walking to work the past week and a half cause my body is just not up for it.... I did buy the new Wii Personal trainer game last week and did a few sessions. It looks like a great game/workout just need to feel healthier before I get stuck right into it. It is going to help me tone my body...

Well I guess I better get back and do some work, after all that's what they pay me for....

P.S. I'll start my accountability with my eating tomorrow....

I hear you Carlton, I have been the same the last month and blaming the coolness of the weather. I find that I want to eat much too big serves of warm foods and chocolaty drinks. That Wii game sounds interesting as all the exercise I get on the wii is dusting it! Here is to us blasting through winter, getting trimmer, toned and then stripping the layers by spring!

It's horrible when you get into a funk. Just try and ride it out, it will pass. Don't you have a OS holiday planned? Maybe putting some pictures on your fridge,pantry and desk at work will help you change your mindset.

OMG, we must be twins. I wrote exactly the same post today on my blog.

It sure helps to talk about it because I have had so much support from everyone, it has motivated me to keep this going and get to goal once and for all.

You can do this Mel. Read some of the comments on my blog and on the ww website on my post of self sabotage today. It will really inspire you to keep going.

Sorr you are struggling Mel. You know you deserve this. You have worked too hard to go back now.
Its what you do now, RIGHT NOW that will determine whether you can win this battle or not.
We all feel like this from time to time, its normal. You just have to keep battling on, get back on track, follow the plan even when it isn't fun anymore and the body you have always dreamed of will be yours.
