Snow. It finally snowed. DH arrived home AFTER I woke up this morning. Long night.
Still not back to my pre-weekend weight which is frustrating to me. I'm trying to wrap my head around being obsessive about not being obsessive about losing this weight again but I haven't been too successful yet. I will keep working at it. I feel incredibly impatient. Now, trust me I know, I did not gain this overnight (but I did gain it within a few months ... at least the last 20 lbs!!!) and I know that it is one step at a time. This is not my first rodeo but I had hoped I was done LOSING ... well at least HUGE poundage.
Learned about Carson Chow's MIT calculator from Draglist but can't get the dang thing to load on my computer. It sounds interesting ...
Busy doing "this" and "that" ... all the tasks of daily work life. Nothing too exciting.
I tend to do things BIG ... not really OCD but I can be like a dog with a bone and tend to get a bit obsessive. Others describe me as "too hard on myself", "over achiever", "intense" ... I KNOW that being mindful, staying with each moment as much as possible is the way to go. Our journey with DH's cancer has taught me that ... you never know what tomorrow holds (or if we even have tomorrow) and yesterday is gone ... today is what is real. The idea is to apply that to my daily life, to my journey to health and I'm struggling with it. Not giving up but having a difficult time.
Anyway ... not sure any of the above ramblings make a bit of sense but that's what flowed through these fingers. I best get at my morning chores so I can get to work on time. Likely to be slow driving out there today on the roads. Take care ... be kind to yourselves ... I'm working on it moment by moment!!

Maybe, before, you didn't make it a 'lifestyle' change, that you could continue with, which is why you put the weight back on. I think it is so important to do this and I truly believe, this is why people put the weight back on... That and gradually putting on a pound here and a pound there... Which all adds up - so maybe, checking in weekly or fortnightly, and being aware of any major changes. I go up and down within 3-4 pounds... Anymore than that, and I cut back for a week or two and start logging my food, so I am aware of what is happening. It works for me :-)

I know how you feel. I feel the same way. It just happened so fast and I can't really put my finger on why. One day at a time we will do it no matter how long it takes. I want it now too but unfortunately neither of us is having it right now lol I am tying not to focus too much on it hoping that kind of thinking doesn't backfire on me. lol but wanting to enjoy the present too. Have a good day!

Yep - I tend to wade in that 'feast or famine' pool a lot myself. The rest of the time I sit on the bank of it overthinking whether to stick in just the toe or the whole foot. Exploring my thoughts here in print help get them out of my head and clear up space for more positive thoughts, or new obsessive thoughts.. but I once I vent them here I don't seem to need to chew the same ones over and over. Hope it works for you too.

Bella it used to work for me but the last couple of years ... well they have gotten away from me. I just have such a hard time finding enough time to do everything I want or need to do. I'm working on it ...
