Struggle
So after a weekend in Chicago and several days without eating well or exercising I’m not doing so well. I’ve gained almost 4 pounds in a week! Yikes!! It’s becoming even more clear to me that this weight loss thing really needs to be a life change and I’m not just doing this to reach some goal and be done with it. A sobering realization. I do really well with goals, challenges, etc. But when it’s over, that’s where the real challenge is. How do I keep myself going when there is no extrinsic motivation pushing me? I’m going to have to create some sort of motivation for myself. I’m almost too happy with myself. All those self esteem, love yourself classes they taught us in school worked a little too well. I’m happy the way I am. Of course, I have my moments. But overall, I’m content. And that’s my biggest enemy.
