d1noli's Journal, 11 June 2013

Something major just dawned on me yesterday. It has been SEVEN months since I hit my lowest weight of 195 lbs. This is a very big realization for me because, until yesteday, I really believed that I was just on a short break from my health journey. And I even fooled myself into thinking it would a simple task of getting back on track.

Well if it really were that 'simple', why the frick has it been SEVEN full months already?! Moreso, why have I gained back 15 lbs during that 'short' break? What a fool I've been!

Clearly this is NOT a short break. It is, in reality, a glaring sign that I have actually gotten back into my old habits --- the very same habits that drove me to slowly gain 85 lbs over the course of my marriage. Talk about being so blind to it!

I need to start refocusing my efforts. I should not consider this time passed a simple 'break'. Nor should I continue to delude myself into thinking it will be a 'simple task' of getting back on track. I have slipped and I have slipped BAD.

The more I realize the gravity of what has just occured, the more I can bring myself to accept that I am failing on my health journey. NO MORE EXCUSES. Time to get back into the journey.

It's so easy to fall back to old habits. Just realizing the cycle was a big step forward for me. I agree, No More Excuses! It has to be a lifestyle change not a "diet".

Thanks for the support! You are right. Realizing the cycle is huge because it is accepting you have a problem. And it's not a diet like you said, it's a change in lifestyle.
