Anyhow, the food thing bothered me, I have had incredible control over what I ate in the past year and the last little while it was like I had given into food again. So I took a very hard look at myself and asked myself questions, why was I sabotaging all my hard work? I thought about it for a few days and I realized I was a little afraid of succeeding. I know, silly right? However; losing the weight has brought up a few things.
What I ended up telling myself is that I worked very hard for the last year of my life and I am not going to let a little rejection push me back to food again. I have decided that when or if it happens in the future that I am going to find another way to deal with it. Something changed with me immediately, like a light flicked on , I started walking more and I am eating within my calorie limit... I feel good. I am making the decision now to do this tomorrow and the next day.
I am grateful that I asked myself that question and that I really took the time to think about it. I've chosen to give myself that break that I am more than willing to give to other people. I feel like that day I first started last year, I was focused, I had a goal and nothing took my eye off it... I feel like that now. I took my focus off the goal but I have it back. It really is just making a decision and not letting anything get in the way... not even self sabotage.

Sometimes we all have a moment of weakness but it's great that you recognized it and are willing to learn and move forward. I wish I had half of your courage and strength and will power.

You are one of the strongest people around. We all get off track sometimes, but I knew you would get right back to your goals. I am going to follow your lead and get back to exercising consistently. Thanks for being such an encouragement to me!
ReplyDeleteit is so great that you challenge yourself so much Luanna! You are not only growing as a person, but also encouraging other people to take a look at themselves and ask those tough questions.

Sometimes, I do wonder if we go off the wagon is because we don't want to feel good. But once you show your self when you are eating right and exercising..that feeling of strength comes back and we have to keep remembering how good that did make us feel. I used to think winter was the worst, but really I was definitely making myself exercise at least 30 minutes at day. Now that its so hot and humid...I don't want to do anything.
ReplyDeleteAll the best on your challenge. I know you can do it. .. =)
My wonderful Launna! No, thank you for inspired me! I hardly find time to work out since I have my twins. I'd every now and again but cannot keep it continue like how I used to do. But when I read your posts since last year even, as my twins are a bit big boys. I've decided to get back to my used to be routines. If my boys wont walk with me then I do jogging myself but if the boys want to go for walk with me, then we all walks. I used to enjoy to do and I will always do !!!! I was wondering , if you were busy with your exercising last week:). and I am glad you are okay:). Everything is going to be so fine with you Launna, I really mean it, you can handle it all:). You've so much of a good power inside you:). Bring it out of you:) and use them all:).
ReplyDeleteGood night from me to you:). Kisses.

6 miles is always better than no mile or metre! I always tell myself afterwards if I didn't go fully through my program in the morning, that I at least did sport at all.
ReplyDeleteAh, self sabotage... Human Nature how we hate you sometimes. :)

Launna, maybe you are being to hard with yourself. Changing habits is very difficult and you have done a hard work. Whenever I'm stressed or anxious, I go running and it instantly soothes me. Exercise is the best antidote against worries and anxieties. Well, at least for me. We'll be in touch!

ReplyDeleteI can understand you very well.
But .. I'm sure that you have enough strength to overcome that obstacle.
Do not stop! This is the time to follow your dream.

I feel you, Launna. I don't have weight issues and I'm not on a diet, but I do try to lead a healthy lifestyle and eat as healthily as I can. And most of the time I succeed. But then there are times when I lose self control and where I'll eat so much junk and 'undo' all my good behavior. I know it won't show up on the scales. But I also know that it's not healthy to eat a whole box of chocolates in one sitting and then add a few sugary cocktails to the mix. I can only imagine the damage that does on the inside. So what I do is I just try to remember that feeling of guilt and regret for next time I feel like giving in. It doesn't always work and sometimes I'm weak and cave. But for the past couple of weeks I've been a good girl, leaving the junk untouched :-)
ReplyDeleteDetermination is key, Launna! Don't be afraid of succeeding, I know that you're a strong person and I'm sure you will keep up your hard work! :)
ReplyDeletewww.nevernotinspired.de
6 miles is something. Better than none at all. Oh we all disappoint ourselves sometimes. This was me when I was trying to lose pregnancy weight but still couldn't help but eat--excessively. Self-control is not always on our side. But I know you have a strong will power. I believe in you. You can overcome any obstacle :)
ReplyDeleteYou have reached a big goal darling and you can not blow it now .... I know that you are a very determined woman!
ReplyDeleteLaunna do not give up... ever!!

I'm trying to do exercise daily, it makes feel good. Forgive yourself, although one day you don't eat well you will eat well the next days.
ReplyDeleteA huge hug!!

ReplyDeleteI'm not one bit surprised that you've gotten right back on task after a slight detour. You're just rocking cool like that, Launna. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this post dear Launna. Don't let anything get in your way of success.

Launna, I really admire the way you stop and think about things and figure out why things happen the way they do. Most people just keep doing the same habits over and over without any introspection to see what needs to be changed. Good for you for staying focused on your goal!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day for the wonderful girl Launna. Ooh yes you do inspiriting me a lot:). Enjoy walking Launna. Hope I can walk today because a storm is coming here soon. I will probably do yoga instead today:). Kiss!

Hello Launna:
ReplyDeleteDo not be too hard on yourself. You are, whatever you may think or say, a very strong minded and resourceful person who we are confident will succeed in whatever you set your mind to do.
Forgive our very late reading of this post but we have been 'off air' with Blogger problems for several days.
sweet post!

highly motivating, despite not having a weight problem, I think we should not lose self-control
ReplyDeleteLaunna! <3 You're by far one of the most inspirational people I know (and i mean it!!). And give yourself some slack dear, we all to track off once in a while! What you should be proud of is your determination and the fact that you're so self-aware of what you need to work on (i envy that!!)! <3
ReplyDeleteAnd i am extremely sorry that I havent been so active lately! I was really busy with tons of work and if that wasnt enough, the weather betrayed me (no, actually it didnt..i was asking to fall sick!) :p Take care dear! And keep in touch as always!!

Cheers dear!! You can do it again!! The control about the food sometimes, in summer, is difficult, but I think is the perfect moment to care our body!
ReplyDeleteXOXO!
Maybe we are afraid of success! But I will say I think we fall of the wagon because staying on the wagon is HARD. Food tastes good...resisting it requires willpower. Exercise is hard work, too. Of course, we know we feel better when we're eating well and exercising, but in the moment, that chocolate sure is appealing...
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to be able to respond to your post, Launna! I think you hit the nail on the head here. I think we are sometimes afraid of success...that, and change! It is fine to eat chocolate on occasion, especially the dark one, as it is healthy, but I think we all have moments of weakness and it is good to be able to forgive ourselves and move foreward. Great post, Launna. I am rooting for you, and sending you a warm hug. :)

I honestly have a hard time when it comes on controlling what I eat. I mean I need to because of my kidney problem and ulcer and I need to exercise more. But I always try not to sabotage myself fully not just every now and then or a couple of days only. thanks for sharing this, Launna! hope you visit my blog again :)

Good for you. A temporary stumble is just that... temporary. Like the old song goes, we have to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and start all over again.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
Love the encouragement in this post. I have started my journey of weight loss...again. One of the things that derails me is how long it takes to lose...which tell me I am not thinking life style change to bring about results. I just want to lose weight, fast, and of course that will not work in my best interest. I applaud you for the discipline you have in this issue. Good job.
ReplyDeleteI love this post. Have a nice we!

ReplyDeleteO segredo é acreditar em si mesma todos os dias!
Ótima sexta, Launna!
Beijo! ^^
I wish I had your commitment and motivation. I have been eating out of control since last fall and am unable to stop. It sucks. I've gained more weight…..But I feel like I am hungry 24/7. I'm exercising a lot but eating way too much. Sugar and pasta is my downfall. Ugh….
ReplyDeleteI love this post. I have found with this process for me that I will go along and feel totally in control of my eating, and then like you I seem to hit a block and there is not enough food to satisfy me. But what I have realized is that each of those times, if I remain open, I learn more about myself and I move forward to even a higher level when it comes to the food in self-care. Anyway, I absolutely love this post, and I relate so much to it.
