Good endings...kinda

Posted Apr 28 2008 6:54pm 1 Comment

So, I'm trying to keep a mindset that this success isn't going to be overnight. I've already been on a weight loss journey for 7 months. I've lost 50 lbs, but...its slowing. I know that I'm going to have to be strong and persistent to be successful.

Today, I had a great start...but then, as I felt emotionally separated from David, and started feeling more and more out of control about my day, my eating began to get out of control. I have no idea how many calories I consumed this afternoon. Its a blur. I just kept putting more and more in my mouth. The day ended with me eating 3 pieces of chicken bacon ranch pizza, and 3 pizza logs. But, it also ended with me doing 3 miles in 50 minutes, and drinking 33 ounces of water. So, yes, I messed up. But, on the positive side, I did take some corrective measures, and I was able to reflect a bit on what caused me to go out of control.

This is a process...and this is not an easy process. I can only make my next choice a positive one.

I think you're on the right track. Some people would have given up for the day and sat down with a bag of cookies. Maybe the next time you start feeling out of control you can write about your feelings in a journal or go on a long walk or run and think about what's going on. If you have a plan it'll go more smoothly.

You're so right about it not being an easy process but you can do it. After all you've already lost 50 lbs. and that's no small accomplishment.
