The other day I was pondering on losing weight!
I'm 5'2" (158cm) and 11st 5lb (72.57kg, 160lb) so about 2 stone (12.7kg, 28lb) overweight. Most of my adult life I've been dieting, I lose weight then gain, lose, gain - in a crazy cycle. As I was pondering the other day, I wondered if I'm reluctant to lose weight again because I don't keep the weight off. Fear of failure!
Losing weight, I believe it's 90% psyche and 10% food. What if my Psyche could change and instead of fear of failure, how about seeing it as a challenge? But what if I lose, then gain again - that's the challenge, being self disciplined enough to keep the weight off, don't think I can eat anything I want when I reach my goal (why I seem to think like that is illogical 🙄).
In the past when I have been self disciplined to lose weight, I have eaten healthily and exercised consistently - result = weight lost, inches (cm) lost. The problem is - the weight and inches (cm) find me again because - I go berserk eating what I want, then exercising becomes less important in life! 🤦🏻♀️
Answer:
Eat healthily ALL the time, even when I reach my goal weight
Exercise regularly, even when I reach my goal weight
Throw away ALL my larger clothes and don't keep any 'just in case' because I'm setting myself up for failure - which I then fear! 🙈🤨
Less of the pondering now and more of the action because I'm not getting any younger. Only a few more years until I'm 60 😳 now THAT'S scary 😱
