Tonight I came home, logged into my email and saw a photo of me taken earlier today. What a rude awakening! In 2006 I started losing weight and was pretty successful for about two to three years. I never reached my ultimate weight loss goal of 100 lbs, but I came pretty close. Unfortunately, over the past year the some weight has crept back on. I haven't gained it all back but definitely more than is acceptable. Damn creepers.
I've been pretty consistent with my workouts but I've clearly lost focus on eating healthy. Eating right has always been a struggle for me. The recent series of events in my life certainly haven't helped. Emotional eating is and has always been an issue for me. I see some people with so much discipline and focus. It is truly admirable. If I had just a fraction of that, it would make such a difference.
Thinking about what I'm writing (and knowing friends may read it) is embarrassing. If you know me then you may know the success I've seen and the struggles I've experienced as well. I'm well aware that I'm not alone in this world when it comes to weight issues so why do I keep hiding behind it. My hope by throwing this out in the blogging universe is to recognize reality, stop hiding, accept it and get back on track. Everyone can clearly see how I look physically and it reflects on the inside as well. If you read other posts you'll see that I'm staying committed to being physically active but feel free to test or quiz me on my nutrition. Also...if you have tips on eating healthy and/or how to avoid emotional/stress eating please share. I know I would appreciate them and I'm sure others may benefit as well.
