Evenings home alone are ripe with thoughts of eating off plan and the niggling voice saying, "you lost X amount of weight, you can always get back on track tomorrow." Well, no, when I decide I am going to chuck it, it tends to stay chucked. It's easier to stay on track than to get back on track. Probably better this way. Otherwise, I would go off track twice a week, stop seeing results, and give up entirely. So I'm not giving up and here is why: I want increased strength and endurance. Carrying around 165 extra pounds makes everything harder. I want to prove to myself I am strong enough to follow through doing all the work needed to get me from here to there.

That's the problem with treats and cheats, for me, they take days or weeks to recover from. Carbs just make me hungry for more and more. Stay strong!

That niggling voice in the back of your head is a bad actor! I put my earbuds in and drown it out with positive affirmations and I go to my she-shed and create something. I'm probably spending too much time in my shed creating, but I could not see well for so long, it's like I have a free pass for making all the cool stuff that I thought about while I could not see. Somewhere between the start of a project and it's completion, the nagging voice goes dormant again. You are stronger than the voice! You got this!

Beautiful post, exactly the problem in my head. It’s such a good reminder that I don’t need to beat myself up, rather, just do the right thing.

I have that voice in my head as well and i call her “the fat kid”. When that happens i remind her that i was crippled, had to pull myself up the staircase by the rail with my heart thumping loudly and felt ill and fell ill frequently. That voice does not have your best interests at heart. Additionally, go pick up a 20 lb bag or weight and walk. Around for 20 minutes just as a reminder of how much harder it is to move with even that amount of extra weight. Whenever im working out im always surprised by how much just 20 pounds feels like. Raise it over your head. Remind yourself that you are giving yourself back freedom, movement, health and flexibility. You’ve got this. Those voices are not your friend.

"The fat kid" will be back and I trust I will be able to care for her as lovingly as I did last night: by sharing my feelings and remaining abstinent from compulsive eating. That kid always dreamed of (I kid you not) being able to run fast. In my case, this is a marathon to the sprint!

🥳🥳🥳and that, lady, is the winning attitude. Though i dont love my fat kid. She’s always trying to talk me into joining her on nefarious adventures that are not in my best interests😂
