Sometimes I forget that I have lost 75 pounds. I sometimes revert back to the self-conscious girl I was back in July. I have moments where I think I am not worth it. Moments when I think why should I bother. It's so easy to revert back to my negative feelings and want to go ahead and eat those nachos. But then I remember how far I have come in this journey and how good it feels to be healthier and I talk myself down from those crazy thoughts. Food never made me feel better, I just thought it did.
So now I am trying to be more positive. I pulled a muscle 3 weeks ago and I have not been able to really workout on it since. I could have let it deter me from my goal. I could have decided if I couldn't workout why bother eating healthy, but I didn't. Instead, I have been very strict with my food. I have made sure to track every bite that I take and drink extra water. So far it is helping. I refuse to let this little obstacle get in my way. It hasn't been easy. It's frustrating when I can't do what I want for my workouts, I miss running! But it has helped me to realize that this is the way life is. If I am really going to keep my weight off this time I have to be prepared for whatever life throws at me. I have learned that you need to keep a positive attitude and realize that things will come up you can't change. Life is always going to be that way. So far, I think I have done alright dealing with it. That old 75 pounds heavier me can stay away! That weight is gone for good! :)
