Recently I've been doing a lot of wishing and lamenting. "If only I could go back in time and warn myself of what would happen to me." Show myself the 240+ pound prison I'd create. Explain the hell of going from 247 to 212 and back up to 241 again. Of course I know, just like everyone else with any grasp on reality, that wishing doesn't do shit.
This morning, however, another thought occurred to me, "What if I do nothing and in 5, 10, 15, 20 years I'm sitting at the same desk thinking, 'If only I could go back in time and warn myself of what MORE would happen to me.'" If I do nothing, change nothing about my life, logic promises that things will only get worse.
So here I am, beyond ready for change. Being accountable to myself, my husband, my family, my trainer, even my future kids hasn't gotten me to where I need to be. So I'm trying something new. I'm going to be accountable to cyberspace. I'm going to put my life in print where numbers won't lie and strangers won't help me make excuses. More than that, I hope to find support out here.
As for today's plans- I'm looking at a 1400 calorie day filled with cleaning and painting the future nursery (time killer and motivational!).
Good luck! I'm a mom of one trying to conceive baby number two while losing weight. It's a rough road but worthwhile. One quick piece of advice, losing too fast can affect your cycles. I got caught up in the weight loss side of things and ended up with a couple 6 week cycles as my hormone levels needed time to regulate after the weight loss. Slow and steady wins the race :)
