hi all
well i'm no diff to anyone else here, was on track, fell off wagon, 2 steps forward and 10 steps back. Never really dieted before, not consciously anyways - i love food to much to stay away lol. I went from 147 to 88 to 127 to 99 then back to square 1 @ 147.1 oh yeah and we're talking KILOS not pounds lol - (be pretty scarey to be 88lbs @ 34yrs old) I have a very active 15yr old boy who wants to play every sport known to man, play the xbox and text girls, all at the same time lol (oh to have stamina). I saw ur video on youtube liz, very compelling viewing (and thats not meant to sound as sarcastic as it does lol) i remember when i was going to the gym i was doing alot of weights and the bare minimum cardio and lost ALOT of weight, fairly quickly too. I saw no point in throwing myself around in fact when i was in a few classes i nearly wet myself laughing at the ridiculous things that people are willing to do to work up a sweat. I could walk up a flight of stairs and sweat 10x more lol.
seriously though, now i'm back up to my biggest weight, the only thing i love more then food is sleep and u'd know (as would any plus sized person or previous plus sized person - to be politically correct) a good nights sleep is very hard to come by when ur overweight. Oh yeah and there's the heart disease, dying young, can't fit into plane seats, do up the seat belt, diabetes, skin condition, can't put on socks or do up shoe laces without gasping for air thing going on too. Funnily enough i have no idea how i got here. Perhaps it's the lack of planning, goal setting, perserverance and commitment??? maybe it's the fact i'm reading about motivation but have little myself??? it could be the fact that it's 3am and i'm blogging??? hmmmmmmmm....
I'm not going to say that 'tomorrow will be different' i'm gonna say 'today is day 1' - my motivation is my son - the reward is seeing him grow up, have his family and enjoy his life.
just
