I have been trying to simply eat healtier and exercise without any real plan. I guess it hasn't been working because this morning I weighed 213 pounds. That's not the heaviest I have ever been, but it is close!
So, do I want to be obese, or am I happy with the way I am? I guess my motivation problem was that I really wasn't that unhappy with my weight. Yeah - I want to be thin, but I don't think I am ugly. I am certainly not the heaviest person that I know. Actually, most of the people I know that are 40 and over are heavier than I am.
This morning, I realized that I am not maintaining, I am gaining! I go crazy on diet and exercise for a week or so, then I just go back to what I was doing before. I know that a few years ago I went on the atkins diet and I lost 3 pounds every week without even exercising. It seemed so easy. I was strict Atkins all week, then Saturday I allowed myself a 'slurge' meal. So, I think I just need to go to what has worked in the past.
I'm mad at myself for gaining weight again. But I think that is probably a good place to start. So I am back at The Biggest Loser League. I will be updating my info. As far as I am concerned, I am starting all over again fresh.
