Up a bit again today and it will probably be a lot more tomorrow. I'm still struggling with the carbs and sweet things. Fruit just isn't hitting the spot. My motivation seems to have gone out of the window and the weather isn't helping either! We have had non-stop rain for the last 3 days - proper heavy rain, not the drizzly mist we are famous for up here. We have a small lake in the road outside and get a tidal wave every time a tractor goes past.
I know what I MUST do but I just don't seem to be able to do it. My willpower has sunk to zero and I've commited the dreadful sin of going shopping when I'm hungry - not once, but several times. I've cleared cupboards and freezer of unhealthy things but am just buying them - cream cakes, chocolate, pastry, you name it I've had it and then feel guilty and try to redress the balance. When will I learn. Old habits are surfacing so quickly. I can't work out why I didn't have much of a problem before, but now just can't seem to get a handle on things. I've even notied that I don't seem to fancy healthy food and with all the lovely veg and fruit we have growing in the garden it seems so silly. I've even been staying away from FS except for entering food and I know that's not good
My brain aches from trying to work it out. Things that I shouldn't eat are shouting 'come and eat me' from everywhere. The whole world seems full of things I don't need to eat right now. No wonder the population is so unhealthy.
So that's the position at the moment. Today is the start of a new week, the sun is shining at the moment although showers are forecast and I'm going to do my very best to get back to a happy healthy eating regime. I know I will feel better for it.
Hope everyone has a happy week with healthy choices.

Hi, flaxseed! I've missed seeing you around! I totally agree that unhealthy food surrounds us every day. Looking at your chart, you haven't undone too much of your hard work. While you're in this short phase of wanting unhealthy things just try to maintain. And MOVE as much as possible! Since fruit isn't doing it for you, maybe you could go online and find some yummy lower cal versions of your favorite goodies. That way you won't feel deprived, but the damage will be less. Just try to remember what you felt like 50 lbs heavier, look at before pictures, come to FS more often... anything to get some motivation back! We want you to be healthy, my friend!

I think the answer is within you. You were working towards a specific event, a destination and now that event has passed, you've arrived at the destination and returned "home." My guess is that you need to discover from within, why you would want to keep this weight off, and/or take off more pounds. It certainly isn't atypical to struggle after having been out of a routine but I would guess, from across the miles, that this is more than physical craving, more than a change in routine, and of course you are the one who knows ... even if you do not "know" right now. I am sorry to hear that it has been so difficult of late. Whether you stay away from FS or not ... we are all still here for you!! You still have accomplished so much!!! Let's hope the sun shines for a few days and warms up your innards so you can carry on!!! Have a good day full of healthy and satisfying choices!
