Ok. So I have spent all weekend in self-loathing basically sickened by myself and my lack of weight loss from my own stubborn unwillingness to do it! That's a mouthful. Anyway I have got to jump on this ghost bull and ride it for the full 8 seconds or it's never gonna happen. I don't know why it is so hard for me to get on the weight loss train and stay on it. Anyhoo enough metaphors....geesh.
Straight up, I HAVE to do this. No overthinking, just knowing that I have to do it.
I am sick and tired of looking at myself and seeing fat that should have been gone months ago.
I am sick and tired of eating my ass off and then hating myself for it.
I am sick and tired of being addicted to food.
I am sick and tired of caring so much, so often about what food I can devour next.
I am sick and tired of making excuses to not go to the gym when in all reality I don't go because I feel it's pointless after eating a million calories the same day.
I am sick and tired of not caring enough about myself to lose this weight.
I am sick and tired of seeing other bandsters who got banded the same month as me having lost double if not triple the weight I have.
I am sick and tired of seeing people at work lose weight without the band as if it's effortless and them constantly looking at me like "what are you waiting for?"
I am sick and tired of wishing instead of making it happen.
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Well now that I got all of that out. I just have a tiny bit more to go. If you are still reading this far....thank you dear. I know you are bored to tears by now but this is mainly a venting post. Getting some deep seeded feelings out and about and hopefully will pave the path for me to get back on track...and stay on track.
I keep getting stuck on EVERYTHING lately. I think my allergies and sinuses and this cold weather has just done Lexi (band name) in and she is squeezing super tight lately. So I am going to stick to mushies for a while and see if that will help it out and maybe result in a few LBS lost too while I am at it. I am working on the whole calorie thing so we shall see!!!!
Menu today:
Breakfast: Hot green tea, fv coffemate powder, and 1 splenda. Blueberry greek yogurt and 1 tbsp of walnuts
Lunch: steamed broccoli and low fat cheese sauce pureed into a thick soup. (I didn't really care for this much. It reminded me of baby food.) I only took a few bites of this and trashed it. I happened to have a can of Progresso vegetable beef soup at my desk so I ate that instead.
Snack: Yoplait fruit smoothie (comes in a frozen bag with a ready mix of yogurt and fruits and you add 1 cup of skim milk)
Dinner: Tortilla soup minus the tortilla.
Plan on drinking about 5 bottles of water today too (80oz) Any more than that and I tend to hold onto it.
I want to hit the gym too.
Here we go!!!
Don't beat yourself up. These food issues are really tough. If it were easy, we'd have no problem being thin. I know it is harder for the smaller ladies too. I was 280 lbs. to start so I had a lot more to lose (I say that because we were banded at the same time).
ReplyDeleteI know your motivation will return and you'll get back to it.
You can do it Jess! I also started around the same weight as you and my body hates parting with the lbs! Its very frustrating, I know!
