So mad at myself

Dug out my bodybugg that has been sitting in the drawer for almost 2 full years. Logged back in and re-activated my account. All my old info. was still saved with my weight and measurements. Now, mind you I've already lost more than 15 pounds since Jan. 1, but when I stopped using my bodybugg 2 years ago I was 17 pounds lighter than I am now. Why did I ever stop?!?!?

Why do I let myself do this all the time? I get so gung-ho about something and then decide I'm tired of it. I need to do it the right way this time. Keep exercising, eating more protein, etc. I have all the tools. I know exactly what to do. Now I just need to keep doing it! Too many excuses!

    Rather than dieting (verb), take charge or your diet (noun) and eat and move in a way that is sustainable for life, not just until you're done dieting.

    Yes, that is my approach this time. Slow and steady. Log my calories realistically, even if I go over my allotment. Try to exercise minimum of 5 days a week. The good news is my waist is smaller now than it was then, so obviously I'm doing something right.
