I hate plateaus

June 21, 2009

178.6 lbs.

 

I know that the band works for me when I work it. If I were to be honest with myself, I have not worked the band at all. The band is doing its job in spite of my weaknesses. I can't eat skittles, icecream, and m&m's and expect to lose weight. I hardly drink any water and I haven't been doing any purposeful exercising.

 

So...I have to quit lying to myself. Do I really hate plateaus? If I hate the state that I am in weight wise, then I will exercise, drink my water, stop eating slider foods, and increase my protein intake. It's that simple.

 

Otherwise, I don't hate plateaus, I hate myself as evident with my destructive behavior.

Hi, I value your words. Hear yourself, yes you can do this! Make it work for you we are here to listen. I am hear you. It helps me too thanks. I can so have that destructive behavior too. Yesterday, I made my "What I want list" I was so surprised to see how long it was. I am new to blogging but it really helps me keep out of the food. I am sort of refocused if you will. Anyway it is always a struggle for me, I am not alone. Have a nice day and be kind to yourself. Love.Life.Lilly and the Pursuit of Happiness. imaluckydog
