I just figured out that Monday will mark my 330th week since I started at 380 lbs. That's 6 years 17 weeks. I was convinced that that would be my last time up and down the weight roller coaster. For some strange, delusional reason, I kept telling myself that I could and would quickly lose the weight again, and it would only take me 6-8 weeks.
The weight was only a side affect of the real problem. I stopped living a fit lifestyle. Well, I can certain come up with the list of excuses. I could easily blame my Achilles tendon for it. The fact is that when I couldn't run, I eventually quit trying to live fit. Well, that is not entirely true. I have made some efforts. I even tried going vegan last year. It wasn't all that bad. I learned to like some new foods such as kale. But it wasn't for me. I made lots of attempts at exercise including speed walking. However, I wasn't consistent.
This is getting too depressing.
I don't know if there is a deeper problem. Is there is some psychological reason that I have yet to address? Is there some issue that until I deal with it, I will always be on this roller coaster? Or is it more base? I love food, especially the high fat, high sugar types. Am I simply just giving in? Deep down, am I simply just unable and unwilling to live fit? I don't know the answer.
I do know that I am living a fit lifestyle today. I am tracking my calories. I am making healthy choices. I am exercising. I plan to do the same tomorrow, but I just need to get through today before I can worry about tomorrow.
Living Fit Is My #1 Job!
