So I realize that I have been absent and for that I apologize. I realized shortly after I started this weight loss journey that although I know it will work and I am determined I was setting myself up for failure. I believe I have chosen the wrong time to start. I need to build my will power and not just try to start with a bang and then fail. So I have "fallen off the bandwagon" for now. I have had a lot of emotional stresses recently, the loss of a dear friend being one. I notice that I tend to eat when I am feeling lonely, sad, or depressed. I have started with trying to combat the emotional eating. Another aspect I have started for this lifestyle change is trying to be prepared. If you know me I live my life on the go and I am not home very often, which makes it difficult to eat healthy and prepare. I have been making soups that I can easily grab and take to work for lunch, I have also been preparing oatmeal with a little brown sugar each morning to take for breakfast. I got some Yo plait light yogurt to eat for snacks as it helps with my sweets cravings and some sparkling flavored water has helped with my carbonation cravings.
My next steps in this journey is to continue to combat the emotional eating and to start preparing meals and making a menu for the week. I have realized and accepted that there will be those days where sometimes it is inevitable that I don't eat 100% healthy, however I will not let that get me down.
My last weigh in I was 268.5 lbs. It may not seem like much, but getting under 270lbs I feel is a huge accomplishment and seeing the results just makes me want to push that much harder for this. Please feel free to comment with anything that has helped you for motivation or some yummy healthy recipes.
