Lydia Kleyn's Journal, 11 March 2010

I was reading through some of my old journals this morning and realized I needed to read this again, it's a journal I wrote two months ago, but sometimes I needed to be reminded again why I am on this journey. It's crazy how journaling and putting your thoughts down on paper can really help you change from within.


"So I was working out this morning and it kindof hit me, I am the only one who can be in control of my weight, what I eat how much I exercise, that is something noone else can do for me, or as a matter of fact nooone can never take that away from me either. I feel so strong right now I have been in control of my food and exercise since January 1 and as a result have lost 14 lbs, it feels so good to say that, b/c for the last year I have been struggling so much with getting over the plateau and now that I have done that I feel unstoppable and just want to keep going, yes i have good and bad days, somedays I just want to give up and not want to go to the gym, but when you see the results for the effort you put in every hour and every minute of sweating IS SO WORTH IT ALL IN THE END, and yes I will struggle with my weight for the rest of my life, but skinny feels so much better than being fat."

I've only been on here for a month now and I find it really helps. Its like im shedding more than the weight. I cant wait to see a change like you have! You've done so well, how did you stay so focused? I resently fell off track for a few days eating things that I have been craving. Im motivated but scared of relapsing and binging!! :/ HA! Sounds like Im writing my journal entry on yours!Sorry! :)

I guess what helped me stay focused is after exercising at the gym for the first 3-4 months, I was going 4-6 times a week. I became a gym junky, I got addicted to working out. If Im sick or there is a day I can't workout for even 20 minutes, I HATE IT. I need my exercise to feel good. So even if my food intake wasn't always on track I was still working out. I have gained weight and relapsed too, but when I am working out I focus on how good it feels physically and mentally. so that when I do binge eat I tell myself what feels better, the food or exercising. Over time the binge eating will become less it's just a matter of retraining yourself how you think about food and exercise.
