This is becoming a popular topic here and I really don't want it to be. Today I have tipped the scale at my all time heaviest weight and it is a terrible feeling. I know I've said this before but something is stopping me from achieving my goals. I've ramped up my work outs and I make very health conscious decisions at the market every week. What can be going wrong?!
I am giving myself a month (or 30 days) to jump start the journey to my happy weight before I seek professional advice. Don't worry. No magic weight loss plans here. I am talking about a nutritionist. Why don't I go see a professional sooner? Because if I am honest with myself, I think it is really just my lack of control that is inhibiting me. My ah ha moment came when I was scrolling through old blog posts. I have realized that Rich and I enjoy eating and enjoying meals together out at restaurants. Which is fine. What is not okay is that terrible choices I make when it comes to restaurants. I used to be so disciplined. Nothing would break me. And I was much happier!
What is going to change?
How do I fix my bad habits? For starters, I am going to really limit myself from eating out. Even if it is a 'healthy' restaurant. We used to be a lot better, but the last few months have spiraled out of control. Once meal out a week sounds reasonable to me. I am also going to try to make better decisions when we do go somewhere. Another change I am implementing is no more alcohol in the house! Wine can be the death of me; if it is there, I will have it. Talk about unnecessary calories! The last change I want to make is fancy coffee drinks. One now and then is fine, but not every day. This will also help my wallet. :)
These three little things I am going to work on for thirty days along with my exercise plan that I think is pretty solid right now. Slowly, I am going to destroy the emotional connection I have to food.
Wish me luck.
