| Me before I started at 13st 10.5lbs & when I reached goal at 11st 7lbs |
The last few months have been difficult for me, my bad habbits crept in, I lost control and my weight crept up and I have found myself 13lbs over goal. During the last few months I have avoided blogging, I felt that if I couldn't blog from a positive place then I shouldn't do it, I became a leader a year ago and since then I have felt that I needed to be seen as 100% focused and on track all of the time, I needed to be perfect. I was afraid to come on here and tell you all how horribly wrong things were going because I was trying to maintain the image of a perfect leader. So I didn't tell you about the time I ate a whole pizza, or the time I ate an extra large chocolate bar in one sitting or the time I went to the cinema and had a medium popcorn, 2 scoops of Ben & Jerrys and a share bag of minstrels all to myself...yes I have done all of these things! The truth is I am not 100% perfect.The truth is there is no such thing.
Me now at 12st 6lbs
I have my struggles
I have food issues
I have weight problems
I can fall of the wagon
But I can get back on!
So that is what I am doing right now, I am owning up, I am being honest, I am writing about the bad times and I am getting back on track.

| where I will be for the next 13 weeks and beyond! |
I am setting myself a goal. I want to loose 13lbs and get back to my goal weight by July 1st, That gives me 13 weeks. I know this goal is realistic and achievable and that's very important, I lost 31.5lbs in 32 weeks to get to goal ,so I averaged out at a 1lb a week weight loss.
Do you need a goal to help keep you focused? Why not join in my challenge and aim to loose 13lbs by July 1st. In 13 weeks I will be confident in my summer clothes and fingers crossed wearing a bikini to the beach! who's with me?
Well done on this post - its not an easy thing to admit you've slipped to yourself, let alone the rest of the world. There is nothing wrong with whats happened - like myself, I'm more mad that I let some weight slip back on but I know I can do it and will lose it again. You must believe the same as I know you'll kick those 13lbs right in the ass! Best of luck... I'll be following your progress :)
ReplyDeleteThank you John, it wasn't easy to write this post but I knew that in order to get back on track and actually do this I needed to open up and be honest with myself and my followers. If I didn't come on here and blog about it I would probably be sitting on the couch eating chocolate for breakfast instead I am about to head out the door and do a 5k walk.We can do this!
DeleteOh Sarah, I know exactly how you feel! I was in the same place as you are last September (and wrote nearly the same post as you, i think all us weight watchers have exactly the same thoughts!). I set my self a Christmas challenge to lose the stone by Christmas. I lost 11 pounds but its starting to creep back on again! I'm with you 100%, I have just been asked to be bridesmaid for my friend so operation bridesmaid starts now! You're honesty is amazing and you know you can do this!
ReplyDeleteI got to goal 14 it's ago after losing 37lbs and a lifelong weight problem. Went in my first diet aged 14 and am 54 now! But is not easy to maintain and I have had times when I've been 21lbs above goal when stopped going to meetings. Currently 7 lbs above goal and have been stuck here since Xmas-not a massive amount but enough for all my clothes to feel tight round my middle and to make me feel horrible .
ReplyDeleteExcellent to find this blog ... my diet starts every day !!! All I have left to go is about 14 lbs by 21st May ... I know its goi g to be hard
