*knock knock knock* Is this thing on?
Yeah, I know, it has been awhile. Things were going pretty well. Then they weren't. Then they were. Now, well... did you read the title of this post?
Weight maintenance is so freaking tricky. This is not surprising to me as I've basically spent the majority of my adult life trying to lose weight. I have only spent the last four years trying to actually maintain that weight loss. Since I blogged about my weight loss and the accountability of posting every week seemed to help I'm really going to try to my hardest to do it again. Clearly you can expect some snark, maybe some tears (at least on my part) and honesty.
I am, currently, 10 pounds over my goal weight. I realize how that sounds to anyone who has weight lose. Wow, 10 pounds Jen, GFY. And no, that does not stand for 'good for you'. Except, that 10 pounds right now feels like 215. I feel like I am in a constant cha-cha. One step forward and two steps back.
I need to stop it. I need to get my head back in the game. So, here I am. Except, it's not just weight that I'm battling right now either. Morty (aka Crohn's) has been much more active these last few months. Do the two things go hand in hand? Probably. Am I trying to fix both? Obviously. Will I get things back in check? Who knows? Let's hang out together, encourage each other and kick some...
Have you figured out why...or is that the challenge? Are your portions too large or are you eating/drinking the wrong things too often? Perhaps sympathy eating since Morty continues to be a pain in your a$$ (quite literally). Or job stress?
ReplyDeleteI know you love fall vegetables and squashes, so use that to your advantage. Keep your chin up...you'll be back on track in no time.
