I've reached a plateau. I knew I probably would, but I was hoping I'd be closer to my goal before it happened. When doing what was working before stops working it makes me want to have a little binge. The dialog in my head goes like this:
Well, chicky, you are going to have to step up and work a little harder. Journaling like Kristina might be a good thing, and you know you need to not only walk longer, but more often. Oh, and some weight training is necessary too. So, go for it...starting Monday. That means this weekend you can PART-AY!
Uh, yeah. That is what is going through my head, and the really dangerous thing with this mentality is it is exactly how I gained all this weight to begin with. When I think about the hard work that I need to do, first I want to put it off just a bit longer, and in the meantime I want to eat a few of those forbidden foods before I knuckle down. A few rounds in that cycle and I'm fat and depressed again.
Ugh. Thanks for listening. I'll not do that this time.
