Dajoloehrs journey

I started a group on Jan.2 to be helpful and supportive to whom ever was willing to listen, unfortunately, with the overwhelming amount of groups on MFP, mine was lost lol. I have been posting everyday, even though I knew no one was reading them, because something just feels great about getting out some of your thoughts, even if it was just to let MFP know that I'm having a good day

I made a resolution to be more honest this year, not just with weight loss, but with every aspect of my life. No more "nothings wrong" or "I'm fine" when I'm not. Ive already noticed a difference with my husband, when I tell him why I'm giving him laser eyes, and its very gratifying, not keeping that in.
I will be posting here daily, I don't have much of a social life haha, so if anyone needs support I'm your gal.

I haven't gone back down to my 239 yet

its been frustrating so I haven't been logging my weight everyday since (only since Sunday)
Sometimes I feel like Ive been handed every tool, part and instructions Ill ever need to build a computer and I decide to throw a few pages and pieces away and wonder why I cannot make it work. Its hard to feel sorry for yourself when you realize that you are the reason things aren't going the way you want them to lol. Anyway this is not a "feel sorry for me post" just a "gotta get this out of my head" post

Great analogy with the instructions. Yes. We are the reason. I think this is the most important realization. It really is our responsibility, our actions. And we are strong enough to do it. You got this.

I, too, think self awareness of self sabotage is important, but an even more important thing is the "why" and what one is willing to do get through it. Kwim? In the past, somen of my self sabotaging reasons were: Weight loss not fast enough, burning myself out trying to lose weight faster, thinking I was doomed to be fat forever so "screw it", not loving myself enough, etc.

I hope whatever your "why" is, that you'll come to find peace with it and realize you can do this. You are beautiful as you are now and that you owe it to yourself to get healthier so you can live longer and be in good health--not your spouse or children, friends, etc., but you.

Hugs and encouragement your way!

Some easy things to eliminate that take away our resolve are a lack of sleep and protein deprivation. I really think those two things are key (and micro-nutrients) to curb cravings, hunger and give us the energy to press on. I would make sure those things are covered and then see if that is enough.
