Ups and Downs - Focusing on UP!
Monday, August 13th 2012
DOWN:I drank a lot of alcohol this weekend. I forced myself to be honest in my diary and the numbers show what I already know.. cutting the booze and I will lose weight no problem.
UP:
I had a really good weekend in terms of controlling my food calories... I did really well to avoid eating too many calories, saying no to bad foods or too much food but still rewarding myself.
Focusing on UP...
Knowing I am getting through the mental barrier of being able to control my food ca...
Slowly getting back on track
Friday, August 10th 2012
For some reason I have been mental blocking in the past months when it comes to reducing calories... I just haven't been able to make myself do it. I guess I got so used to maintenance and being able to eat more calories and different types of calories that the idea of "cutting back" was freaking me out.I have been reminding myself of the foods I ate when I was losing weight... my favourite is a big bowl salad of small cube cuts of tomato, cucumber and celery with a homemade vin...

Some bad habits I am noticing:

This first blog entry is going to be a long one, so if anyone is reading this, be ready for a good read... but I'll give you a few photos to get you through.I feel like I need to write this to give myself some perspective on where I am at. I am struggling with some serious self-esteem issues right now and have found myself returning to pre-weight loss mentalities and behaviours. I no longer accept compliments. When someone pays me a compliment I excuse it away - I think to myself that t...
