Ive been saying now for a while that I was going to lose this extra weight that I didnt remember putting on.
Ive been saying this since last Sept when I got engaged. Then a couple months later I continued saying I was going to start when I started looking at wedding dresses, and again before I went bathing suit shopping, a month before the wedding, after Christmas, right before our trip to the Dominican, and still I didn't really do it.
I would start eating better, working out, and actually losing weight and then poof right back to where I started.
Now that I just got back from the Dominican and am seeing these pictures of myself in a bathing suit that my friends had posted online, it hit me.
I'm the heaviest I have ever been and the most unhappy.
Good thing is I want to do something about it. Bad thing is, I don't know how.
I have the tools I need to lose weight. A great support system. The education on healthy foods and correct portion sizes. However, I still get in these ruts where on a day off when my spouse isn't home, instead of working out and eating right I will sit on the computer catching up on the television shows Ive missed while away, eating chips for breakfast and cans upon cans of soda.
I know this is a problem. And I have no self control to stop it.
For a couple of weeks we didn't buy soda, so none was in the house. I did great. I ate great, I only drank water and I felt amazing.
The minute we get back and we do groceries, there are chips and junk food and soda in the house and I am back to the start.
SO I am challenging myself, with this soda in the house...I will not drink any soda for the rest of this month.
Small steps to get to the bigger goal right?
Another challenge...no processed food, no fast food for the rest of this month. Good home cooked meals. All portioned out properly. No over indulgence just to eat because it's there, just what I should be eating.
Ive hit my rock bottom and I am very ashamed and disappointed with myself for letting it get to this point.
I used to be so fit, so active, so happy.
Where did that go?

I would definitely say no more buying soda for you at the store haha. Or, you could get diet soda but maybe only drink it once in a while. My boyfriend and I do not buy stuff that we know will tempt us. Out of sight, out of mind!!! If you do not have it in your house, you will grab something else to snack on that isn't so bad. I myself, am a chip ADDICT!!! I could seriously eat a whole bag of chips in one sitting! So, I buy wheat thins, triscuits, and other crackers. That way I have the satisfaction of eating something similar but not as bad as say a whole bag of ranch doritos. And don't get too down on yourself. You have to learn to accept what has happened, and decide to do something about it. Every one on this site has felt bad for letting themselves get to a point they wish they weren't at. You need to love yourself unconditionally!!! And just realize, you will falter. You will eat things you shouldn't. Period. We all do. Don't let that discourage you. If you want to eat something, eat it in small portions. Treat yourself every now and then. If you don't, you will not stick to it. We are all here to support each other, so if you feel weak just post something and guarantee someone will be there for you!
