I'm back in the weight loss game. I'm maintaining my loss pretty well but I stopped journaling a couple weeks ago and picked up 5 lbs and it's not coming back off so fast. It never did the first time so why should I be surprised I guess. Not surprised but disappointed & today a little frustrated.
I've been able to take off 1 1/2 from the 5 but haven't been able to break past it yet. I'm back to journaling every day, eating right/making good choices and regular exercise but no go. Nada! Not happening for me just yet. I'm not giving up...never. It's just the way it is.
Its funny when I mention my gain to friends, they sort of dismiss me - "you got this," "5 lbs is no biggy," "you've done this before" and on go the comments. Yeah, I've done it before, many times in fact but frankly it doesn't get any easier. I'll turn one year older in a couple days and I think its gettin harder! But I'm never going back so this is just the way it is for me.
I guess this is my very own game of cops and robbers - good guys/days and bad guys/day. The game I will play for the rest of my life. It's my lifestyle now. I got that and am much happier because of it yet there still are those days (like today) when its frustrating.....The great news is today's a new day and I'll take it one day at a time. Relaxing @ a goal is not my strongest point but I'll work on it........
