Self Sabatoge

File under: Weight Loss

Why do I do this? I have come so far and now I have been messing up for 3 weeks. I have come up with so many excuses for messing up. First it was my stress from what my kids were putting me through, then it was the part time job, then it was being overwhelmed with dong all the household chores. I finally have come to the conclusion that I am just full of excuses. I am so tired all the time and I was begining to feel great eating better and getting more excercise. Last night I actually fell asleep on the couch at 6 O’clock and then went to bed and still was exhausted when I got up this morning! Today I will get back on track and stop making excuses! I will come on here and stop hiding the fact that I have been screwing up and embarressed to admit it! I am tired of self sabatoging myself. I will make the time for me and eating right and getting more excercise.

I am off to work, but I will come back on here when I get home inbetween my runs and catch up on your blogs.

Have a great day!

Take it easy on yourself. I know when I go through seasons of exhaustion. I just came out of one from baseball. I know when family/ work demands more out of me I get spread so thin that I can’t take care of myself. What helps me is to think of even 10 minutes I can walk or something (like reading all these blogs) I can cut down on so I have time to take care of myself. Baby steps is the key even when you are used to a workout schedule life, TOM or whatever seems to come in and mess it up. Don’t be too hard on yourself

Bette Jo, You have got to shake off the weight of the last three weeks. Instead of looking back at what you have not been able to do and keep up with, remind yourself that we are all human and we are all going to have times when we fall back into old habbits. We will not go our entire lives as perfect dieters. We are all going to have moments where we feel out of control. PERFECT dieting is unatianable. When you get up tomorrow morning just remember it is a brand new day and that yesterday is done. There is no amount of worrying that is going to change the past you can only be in the now. Forgive yourself instead of beating yourself up. Once you let go of feeling like you’ve failed in some way you will be able to feel better about yourself and kick it back into gear. You have not failed you just had a few not so good weeks and now it’s sounds like, from your blog, that you are driven to push forward and get back on track. We are all here for you so keep reaching out. Have a WONDERFUL day Laura

Well good.. you’ve gotten past the first step. You know what your doing now…Keep focused on the prize and don’t let that other stuff get in the way

We all do this dear…

Well, most of us…

I think it happens more frequently when you are losing at a slower pace…Like me…

About every 2-3 months I go through this…I think its because I am tired and need a break. I usually take it, and then get back on track…

You will too…

Good luck!

The hardest part is being honest with yourself and it sounds like you are. You know what you need to do. That first step is the hardest but from your history you are a tough lady and you can do it!!!!!!
