If anyone tells you it’s easy, it's not. After losing a substantial amount of weight, it's crept back up on me. Well it didn't creep, I let it happen...not being as focused and making a lot of poor choices for an extended period.
Blogging publicly in that situation, isn’t ideal. Or is it?! That’s what I’ve been thinking week over week, month over month…and reminded of whenever Facebook’s alert comes through that people haven’t heard from me in a while.
I’ve decided, this might *actually* be the perfect time to share what’s happening and how I move through it. Sometimes that’s the understanding and motivation that I have looked for…...when I scroll through Facebook at 9 pm after a hard day….or after I’ve eaten an entire pizza, and realized I've had no real vegetables for the week…..or after I get back from a walk, sweaty and feeling much more unfit than I was before.
A shift in your state of mind can come from anything. You never know when it's going to happen or where it's going to come from. But we’re not alone in the struggle to change course for the better.
It's not easy, but people like myself appreciate the open and honest thoughts. Losing weight, I've found, is so much more of a mental work of art than a food one. Thank you for being open today. - dawnita
ReplyDeleteVery true, Dawn. Mental work and food choices are closely connected.
