xohhjeez's Journal, 22 July 2014

I am trying to do a lot of reflection lately, of my journey so far and where I want to go from here. I haven't been doing as well as I was hoping I would do, and it really is starting to bother me. However I know I have no one to blame but myself. From where I was 7 months ago, I'm a lot happier and a lot healthier. I lost 20 pounds from my starting weight and learned I have the ability to be in full control of my life. It feels wonderful to know that I can do that, but my motivation to continue is waning. For the past few months, my love of food has been overcoming my ability to say no, and I cant seem to get back into the swing of things. I want to reach my goals, I want to be healthy, and skinny, and wear cute clothes, and I know exactly how I need to do it. I've already proven to myself that I can, so why wont I allow myself to? At first I was incredibly comfortable, being 20 pounds down, basking in the enjoyment of being significantly smaller than I have been for the past two years. But I'm starting to grow uncomfortable again and I need to adjust my mindset. I would love to eventually reach my goal weight. I would love to not be petrified to go wedding dress shopping, or be able to wear a bikini again. I'm only young once, and I hate the thought of regretting my 20's because I'm overweight. I'm actually really close to being out of the "obese" BMI range, and being in the "overweight" BMI range. I cant wait for that day to come, but unless things change, it wont come.

Sorry for my long rant, I just need to get my thoughts in order.

Hope everyone is having a fabulous day!

Girl, It's all about the mindset and positivity is 97% of that! I love how FatSecret allows us all to have the support group that we need to carry on and the cheerleaders to help us on a healthier journey. YOU CAN DO IT!!! I read somewhere..."Complaining only helps you lose 24 hours." I love that!! SO I just keep telling myself, I need to lose 24 lbs not 24 hours. Smile, Gina, Smile! <3

Its funny because I've been a member on here for so long, but only until recently have I been seeking out friends on here. It's so interesting and motivating to read other people's stories and successes, it makes it a lot easier to get through my own issues.

Yes, I know! This is my 3rd round of HCG and I have used FS for YEARS but only to count calories. *Pat on your back* Glad we're friends!!
