I don't look like this anymore... |
Many of you may know the scene. A pound or two can be tolerated and not really noticed by others. Clothing still fits, and some old friends still picture us as obese, so when confronted with a slimmer than obsess us, they tell us that we've lost even more weight. Although we know it's not so...
And then the 2-3 pounds morph into 4-5 and then eight, nine or even ten, and suddenly the nice new, smaller-size clothes don't fit so well anymore.
Yes, it's time to stop eating "almost like a normal person." I must "rediscover" my self-control full-time. "Most of the time" is not enough, because the "few things extra" keep adding weight. And I must stay away from temptation... And I must try to exercise more.
And like any "addict," I have to admit that I have a problem. Yes, that's why I'm blogging it. Sigh...
Exactly where I am at the moment! It's really hard!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard. Let's cheer each other on.
ReplyDeleteYup. It is hard! I find I have selective memory unless I write down every thing I eat, I just don't know who ate the stuff from the cupboard!
ReplyDelete40 years ago, after one of my kids was born, I dieted like that. I called it the "honesty diet," because I weighed and wrote down everything. I got really thin. But I just can't start all that weighing again. I need to find a way to get the weight off and live with the restrictions.
