I Suck

[Retriever Mama]

I posted to this thread a month ago that I was ready and raring to go on my diet and exercize plan...and haven't done a thing.

Except gain a couple of pounds. I can't seem to find the time to exercise and I am perpetually tired. And because I'm tired and stressed I seem to be constantly snacking these days.

I'm hoping we can get on a more regular walking plan with the puppies...but I definitely need more than that...and I have to stop eating!!

Sigh...okay...just needed to vent. I put on a pair of my "fat pants" this a.m. and they are snug. I am definitely motivated now...just have to figure out how I'm gonna do this.

Don't give up. I was at the same place two years ago. I'd start, all fired up and ready to do this and then nothing. But, after two miss starts, I finally have my mind in the right place and it has been a good year so far. I can't tell you what was different. It just all fell in place, mind, body and spirit.

I agree. I had more false starts, failed attempts, and disappointing backslides than I care to mention. I finally decided that it's time to pony up and get this done, once and for all. At 45, looking at diabetes, heart disease, and godknows what else, I wanted to take control.

Not that the cravings to snack myself into oblivion with a boxful of Oreos isn't still omnipresent, but I've found some successful techniques for battling it. Like sewing my lips shut.

Really. Hang in. Your success will breed on itself. I found that losing two lbs a week was like BIG WHUP, but everntually, it became 10 lbs and then 20 and then all of a sudden, clothing started fitting better.......
