I am really great about exercising. Today I did chisel at Crossroads and it was sooo hard. I enjoy it and it makes a huge difference in my mood. But....food....well that's another story. I know it all. I know what I need to eat, I know I need to measure, I know I need to track, I KNOW! Then why don't I do it??? Why can't I have self control and not eat that second helping or that cookie. I wish I had more control. I know what I want to look like and I know how I want to feel. I just can't get there. I'm so tired of making excuses, but I'm not willing to stop. I feel like I'm living an oxymoron. I do so much better when my husband isn't home. But now it's summer time and he's home (he's a teacher) and my 8 year old step son is here too. So my eating takes a back seat.
Is this happening to anyone else?

Yes, that happens to me too, I want to lose weight but in the short term it's really hard for me to say no to the ice cream or the cookie. Especially if it's there it's usually not just the cookie it's all the cookies.
ReplyDeleteI think we all do that - self sabotage. For me, what helps me get over it, is if I have to really be accountable to someone at the end of the week or something. I'm thinking after this baby is born, maybe I'll get a personal trainer for once a week or something and weigh in every time. Talk about motivation.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lori - self-sabotage is my middle name! I don't even have anyone around that makes it harder. I do it all to myself. I wish I had some brilliant advice, but I don't.
ReplyDeleteI just want to say that I'm glad the world is coming around one person at a time to agreeing with me ;) lol
ReplyDeleteI am in the exact same boat here as everyone else is. I wish I could stop myself from eating the leftover cake or the ice cream that my parents keep in the freezer, but I eat it anyway knowing it is not the right choice.
