I’ve been saying some negative stuff to myself
and thinking about a lot of negative thoughts a lot this week. It is all mostly due to my back-to-back gains that was a doozy of a big gain for the month of April. To add insult to injury, my size 16 capris
don’t fit as well as they did at the end of March.
One positive is that I caved and pulled out some
old size 18 capris that I’ve not donated yet thinking I just needed to feel
good in my clothes again. Thankfully,
they were too big. Whew. That was a relief. I do miss feeling good and confident in my
clothes. Since I’ve only recently been
feeling this way, I am going to stay focused on that it is only temporary and
that I need to address the extra weight gain ASAP.
I can always count on FB Memories to help give me
new perspective. Today, two of them
popped up.
Three years ago was just about where I peaked for my all-time high re-gain weight. Looking
back at my weight record in 2016 showed me that I was skipping the
scale/meetings a lot and eventually I had to pull up those big girl britches
and take action.
I am so thankful I did. It has made these last three years so
rewarding. Once again, I took control of
my life and made the necessary changes to start feeling better, moving more,
and eating healthier.
I remember feeling the struggle of weight gain five years ago and starting to lost grasp of my maintenance journey all together. In hindsight, the gain was nothing compared to where I would find
myself in 2016. And, you always wish you
could be back to the weight when you thought
you were fat.
What I am choosing to draw from this is that
every weight gain, just like weight loss, is temporary unless you do something
about it. It takes just as much work to
lose weight as it does to keep it off. I
really miss feeling good in my clothes.
Last year I worked really hard on body positivity. Feeling so negative this last week as really
taken a toll on me.
I need to stay focused and release all that bad
energy. I’m working on it.
