Hello! Oh, how I understand how easy it is to lose steam in this ongoing battle to get healthier! I've fought being fat my entire life. Since Jan 1, I've lost just over 10 lbs. (at one time I weighed 300 lbs. I down now to about 245.) This 50 lb weight loss has taken about 5 years as I have trouble staying motivated for more than a few days. This year, since January is the longest I've been able to stay motivated in probably 30 years! Now, the food is calling to me. I overindulged the last couple of days. However, I've decided I WILL NOT feel bad for it. I will enjoy the food I ate and start again fresh. I did that last night. I didn't even wait until a new day! If we beat ourselves up for overindulging -then it becomes a vicious circle and we can't get back on board. So - rejoice - you are still going to be successful because you can start again today. To get my measly 3,000 steps in, I walk around my living room, my kitchen, I march in place while watching TV. I bought an inexpensive recumbent bike and that helps. I go to the grocery store and walk up and down all the aisles.
