For real. I’m not doing this anymore. This is it. This is the change that is going to stick.
I hope.
No really. I know I’ve said that so many times before. I’ve started off strong, eating right and working out for a couple of weeks or as long as five months. I’ve never managed to continue losing weight for longer than that. I’ve gone back to my old habits–and packed the pounds back on. Sometimes they went back on slowly but mostly it all went back on (plus some) within the year. Not this time.
I hope.
The self-sabotage stops here. I’m going to hang onto this good feeling. My mood has been good and my energy high, despite the fact that my cycle is due to start any day now and most months I suffer from horrible PMDD symptoms. Not only is this the end of my self-sabotage it is also the end of the worst of the PMDD. I can manage it with nutritious food and exercise.
I hope.
I’ve completed one week of eating healthy, keeping my calories under control, and exercising 30 to 90 minutes a day. EVERY DAY. I’m making the changes real. Permanent. I’m building a strong foundation of good choices that will stand the test of a junk-food eating husband, patience-testing kids, writing and defending a Masters thesis, hormones, grief, tight finances, and any other kind of stress that hits me.
I hope.

You go, girl! Sounds like you’re on the right path there. I just started back with my personal trainer and am trying to do the same myself. While my weight doesn’t yo-yo–it just stays about the same (30-40 lbs over what it should be!) and need to start seeing that scale go DOWN for a change. Good luck!

It is such a long, hard process - you just have to look long-term and not worry about the day-to-day progress/regress that occurs.
Living testimony here, girl - I’m within 10 pounds of my goal…it only took 3 years.

You can do it….just think of the outcome. I hate dieting and exercising too but I will say I love the effects it has on me once I accomplished something. Problem is that we always have to be on some sort of diet. I guess getting older really does suck the big one.
