Ok so I end up feeling guilty every time I go to write a journal entry because I am so finicky. Oh well, here we go again I guess.
I am enjoying my current habits now that vacations are over with. I have been reading up about the primal lifestyle, AKA paleo diet. The days where I have followed it well I have been surprised at how full I am on fewer calories. Now if only I can rid of this sweet tooth I would be in good shape!! Weekends tend to be difficult because that is when I tend to have a few drinks socially. We can't always be perfect. That is why I am adopting the 80% motto as used use by the primal blueprint followers of marksdailyapple.com. Stive for 100% but don't beat yourself up because you will probably end up being more like 80% in the end, and that is okay. I have been reading the book and the blog/website, and they make very compelling arguments for everything. The only thing I can't really do right now is give up dairy. I can cut back quite a bit, but I'm not willing to let it go.
Overall, I think I have FINALLY found something I can adopt as my new norm. So far so good!

So I stopped dieting for a while. I'm getting fed up with this cycle. I'm going to begin recording food again and attempt to simply reduce my calories while actively eating more vegetables and fruit. I'm now training for a mud run 5k in September so that is plenty of motivation to get in shape.

Oh boy. Holidays are hard, they really send me spinning out of control with the diet plans. I really feel like the more I try, the more I fail. Where is my commitment, dedication, and resolve? Am I weak willed?? I am getting fed up. I have been struggling with the same few pounds over and over. It's like I just can't let it go. Why can't I let the weight go?? I don't know if no carbs is going to work for the long term. I just love them so much even though I know they will NOT help me lose weight. I love beer. I love pizza. I love cake. WHY? I am truly lamenting here because I am just so fed up. I just feel like I am never going to get this down. I will never get down to my goal weight. I will never be happy with the way I look. I will never be truly healthy. I am hardly ever this negative but this is the truth of how I feel right now. I read in numerous articles that dieting is unhealthy and that diets don't work. I am starting to believe it. Unless people learn to change what is on the inside and their relationship with food, the weight will continue to come back because they will just go back to doing what made them that size in the first place. It's got to start on the inside first. Why can't I get there? Why am I holding myself back. This is what I need to figure out.
On another note I am seriously considering trying to juice fast for a little while. My desires need a serious overhaul. Perhaps I can use the juicing as an opportunity to explore my relationship with food. I need to know why I give in to my food desires so easily. I want to know why I am so addicted to this food anyway. Juicing will make my body forget about all of that, and some meditation and reflection will take care of the rest. I wish they made a manual about this stuff. So many thousands of books have been written about the best way to lose weight. Not enough of them focus on the reasons why we become overweight to begin with. We don't go deep enough into the psychology about over eating and unhealthy behaviors. I must have a thought or a belief about myself that is holding me back, and that is in addition to the physical addiction piece. I really believe that. I need to figure this out, I have to stop disappointing myself!!
