Enthusiasm

I have been struggling, big time. I have been trying not to put on - at least - and failing. I am fluctuating anywhere between 14.0 and 14.10 in any given point of the week. It’s got to stop; I have to start losing seriously again. I want to feel I have it in control again, I want to feel good and start looking better again.

I went back to the gym yesterday for the first time in two weeks. I am sure my lack of exercise was contributing to my lethargic attitude to weightloss. After I came out of the gym I fancied making a salad and so went and bought the ingredients. I havent eaten salad in months, since before I lost my appitite that time.

My insomnia has been raging lately too, which is the biggest problem I have when losing weight. Not only am I too tired for activity, but I tend to eat non stop throughout the 24-hour period. So during bouts of insomnia, dieting is a write-off really. I slept for 11 hours last night though, from 5pm-4am, so I am almost back on normal time. I stopped taking Nytol because I did not want to rely on it the whole time but I am going to take it when I need to because it is a small price to pay if it means I can function on a day to day basis.

So I am going to try and write in here on a daily basis again and see if that helps me to get back on track. I am going to go to the gym three times per week again. I am going to write down everything I eat. I will drink 4 pints of fluid per day. Hopefully I will become enthusiastic again.

    I am glad that you are going to keep writing through this struggle. It is so easy to write when all is well…not so easy when life is a struggle. I have been feeling the same way. I hope you and I can get through this. I have started exercising 4 to 5 days a week with a friend and am scaling back my bad dietary habits. Small steps toward a big goal!

    Thanks Rachel. I signed up to sparkpeople today (username groovybabe) and was really impressed, was going to be so good do it to the letter. But then I ended up binging very early in the day. Trying to be good now though to counteract it. Got to keep trying. Good luck. x
