I am logging a lot of miles since I got my new pedometer but haven't done very well in the dieting category. I just can't seem to get myself into any long term commitment lately. I do real good for a couple of weeks, lose a few pounds then a special event comes up with all the great event foods and it just gets the ball rolling in the wrong direction for me. I backslide so easily. I went to a 4th of July party last weekend then spent the end of the week on a camping trip. I went to my WW meeting on Sunday and gained 5 lbs. I got a lot of exercise... swimming, tennis, long walks, biking, but was so out of control with my eating.
Once again this week I am all geared up to have a great week and good results on the scale come Sunday. I am back on track and am writing and planning all my meals for the week. I should have an easy time as there are no special events planned for a few weeks. I have a wedding to go to on the 30th though. I'm looking forward to it in one way because it is my nephew's wedding and a very happy memorable event but I'm not looking forward to all the food and the feeling of being out of control and backsliding again. I guess I will just have to do a lot of contemplating on this situation and come up with a plan of action. I have got to get into the right mind set to deal with this obsession I have with food. I just love the taste of food and the joy it brings when I'm eating something that tantalizes my tastes buds. Why does life have to be so complicated???
Oh Kathy, I know where you are now. I had two years when I could not get back to goal. The change in WW plans last November worked for me but I still have to work the plan continually to stay at goal. I am definitely not as active as I should be. You are doing great in that area. :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think it is better to just go ahead and relax about the whole situation and enjoy the event. We get so wrapped up in not eating thoughts that when we do eat, we go overboard. Limit yourself to one plate of the things you like and have a piece of cake rather than eating yourself into a coma because of the guilt.
ReplyDeleteGood advice...thanks!
