When I set out on this journey to health I gave myself 5 years to get from 110kg to 80kg. May sound like a lot of time allocated to 30kgs, but there is a lot of work to be done.
The biggest part of my weight loss is not the scales but the psychological patterns I have with my diet. 3 years in and 25kgs have been lost (5kg regained recently) but I am still fighting bad cycles of thought.
I am writing this blog as I have been thinking these unhealthy thoughts lately and it needs to stop. First one was a couple of weeks ago when I bought a new dress for an upcoming wedding. The dress fits well but I decided it would look better if I wasn't so soft around the edges. Day one came of this new routine and I binged and caved in again. That thrown out the door I have now decided I need to lose 10kgs before going home for Christmas. WHY??
Baby steps is what has gotten me this far so why start with this do or die nonsense now? Do you set yourself up for failure too? The buck stops here, no more yo yo diet thinking allowed.
With this said, do you think we put too much pressure on ourselves to be 'perfect'? Do we spend to much time comparing ourselves to others? I have to answer yes and yes. This is another thing that has to stop.
