You may have noticed that I haven’t blogged in over a week. You may also have noticed that my weight ticker now proudly and loudly proclaims that I have lost zero pounds. That’s right, the ticker that used to brag I had lost 50 pounds is now back to zero. Zilch, nada, big fat goose egg. I’m quite the overachiever when it comes to gaining weight back like there’s no tomorrow.
Oh, there’s more good news. My highest weight used to be 210 pounds. As of this morning, I have crushed my record and am now at 211.6. It’s hard to even type that and admit that. How did I ever let myself get this heavy again? Why didn’t I stop at some point and make some changes and halt this silliness?
I really didn’t want to come here. I didn’t want to write this today. I didn’t want to admit what I’ve done to myself. But that is exactly what this blog is for, to be honest and to type out my frustrations and ask for support and help.
My next step: making a plan for next week. I need to get back to tracking my food on MyFitnessPal, back to regular workouts, back to giving a damn what I am doing to myself. I keep saying I can do better than this. I keep saying I want to be a good role model for my stepkids. Instead, I’m sure all they see right now is an out-of-control, food-obsessed fat lady. That makes my skin crawl, because that is a pretty precise description of Psycho, my stalker, except for the “lady” part, ha.
It’s frightening I let myself get this out of hand. It goes without saying that it’s time to make changes and do something about it. And not just blow hot air this time.

Girlfriend, try to focus on one goal (an easy one) for the coming week. I know how frustrating it can be to feel like you are in this endless cycle. For me, I'm going to focus on coming up with a dinner meal plan for the week for 5 out of 7 days. This will help me immensely and once I successfully do that, then I'll want to move on to lunch, etc. Hope this is a better week for you!

I read a while back that losing weight was the easy part. WE really need to learn new ways; we get back to the same pattern and then, obviously we get the weight back on! Good for you to write this post! It just shows that you didn't give up, as you have on the side… YOU are so worth it. Stay strong!

One thing at a time! And meal planning is a big deal, most of your weight is lost in the kitchen, not in exercise. Making that a priority was my top goal and I lost 30 lbs just by sticking to meal planning and being aware of what I was putting in my mouth! You got this!!
