Tonight, as I was throwing a mini, self-indulgent pity party...I said to myself "I'm trying so hard!" and then I realized that really...I am NOT really trying at all. I have been so disappointed in the fact that I've gained the lost couple of times I've weighed in....but I haven't really done anything to change it. I guess I realized tonight that no one can do this except me.
If I don't like the way that I look...whose fault is it? MINE! I am the one who got myself to this point....but who can change it? I CAN!
It takes BABY STEPS. You can't just exercise one day, or stay OP one day and expect all the weight to go away...it's a weight loss journey...not a weight loss field trip...so hop on board and stay there!
I think a field trip would be more fun though...LOL. I hear you, I've had that exact same peptalk with myself. I basically had to tell myself to stop making excuses, if other people can do it then so can I, I just have to be willing to knuckle down and put in the honest effort to make the changes that need to be made.
In all honesty I have had to re-have that pep talk a couple times, but as long as you keep trying, I think that is the main thing.
