I am down 60 pounds. Yay, right? Well, yes, but I still want to lose another 50. I tell people that and they act like that is too much. No, it isn't. I am now at 190ish. (Haven't weighed in for a couple weeks thanks to the holiday and work) I believe a goal of 140 is not insane. Honestly, once I get there, I may even decide to lose more. I am more concerned with what is going to look good and feel good. I already look and feel a 1000x better than I did at 250!
But here is my problem now. My first 60 pounds was loss with a very flexible schedule, being a stay at home mom meant that I could plan my day and meals around my goals. Now I have a job and am starting working nights tonight. That really messes things up. So far I have tried my hardest to only bring healthy snacks to work and to try and exercise, but I have been far from perfect. So, how should I overcome such a struggle? I'm hoping my friends and family will hold my accountable.
My hubby did ask me last week if I was keeping up with my exercise and yoga and I was annoyed, but only because I felt guilty because I wasn't doing as well as I thought I should be. Now I realize that he is only concerned because he knows how much being healthy means to me and he has seen me at my darkest hour with this (surprisingly it was after I had lost about 40 pounds and I was starting to hate myself more than I did at my biggest because I was so mad at me for letting myself get that fat) and he doesn't want to see me back there. But I have this problem with being stubborn and a bit of a brat and if someone else questions my choices, I will stick with them no matter how self detrimental they may be. I need to get over that. It's a psyche thing.
So now I just need to be strict with myself, but understanding. I need to stick with this and not give up. My weightloss may have slowed down lately, but I plan to kick it into high gear now and as long as I keep eating as healthy as I can and exercising regularly, it will tick away even if slowly. Slow is better than a gain or no loss at all!!!
