I've failed.
I started this journey April 16th. Almost a month ago. This is supposed to be the time where I was beginning to see changes in myself. Week four is supposed to be a big mile stone. Instead, I find myself in reverse. I have gained weight and I have lost any trace of healthy I had before. This past two weeks I have ignored any signs that have told me to "not eat that" or to "only eat this much". I have ignored my walking shoes and my water bottle. As a matter of fact I have ignored any gut feeling that was telling me that what I was doing was wrong. But enough. In the past, failures like this have made me stop and drown myself in pity and even more sabotaging. In the past, this type of failures have made me create a million excuses as to why I should give up and why I wasn't strong enough to get back up. Not this time. I HAVE to succeed. I have to be healthy. I am going to exercise and I am going to THINK about what I eat.
I have one favor to ask of you all. I will be posting my exercise pictures everyday. I must! Before 8 pm everyday I need to have posted a workout of some sort (jogging is my preference). I will have one day off, but even then I will make sure I have AT LEAST gone on a walk or done some stretching/yoga. But I need your support. If I don't post, please ask me why. Question why my post is missing. Hold me accountable. Also, I am considering starting a vegetarian diet. Thanks in advance, I know no one has to do this, but I am thankful to anyone that will join me. See you guys tomorrow before 8 with my workout post!

don't be so hard on yourself. These are stressful times and everyone reacts differently to stress. Take what you have learned from how you personally react to stress and train yourself to handle it differently. This does not define you. It only helps you to create a better response to stress and therefore create a better you. Know that the time and energy put into yourself is worth it. The results will show in the end. This is just your begining. 😄

Aloha and welcome, Black🤙🏼 I joined FS in Aug 2019 and found it can be a great forum for encouragement, support, and tools to successfully reach your weight loss goals. Check out member profiles for those who are consistent, focused, and health minded and beware of members who use FS for a personal diary or social outlet because you deserve more than just a "chat room" to commiserate in. Miracles can happen, but I will tell you that anything worth having takes patience and hard work, plain and simple. You haven't failed at all...consider this "pause", if you will, as an opportunity to reset and get motivated because YOU deserve your best life!

Ciao Non essere così duro con te stesso, bisogna essere autocritichi si, ma con il giusto peso. Le "sconfitte" sono comunque positive se ti spingono a dare di più come stai cercando di fare adesso e vedrai che con pazienza e forza di volontà puoi riuscire ad ottenere tutto ciò che vuoi....Aspetto il tuo post dell'allenamento di domani...anche se mi chiedo perchè non oggi?

I have done the same thing. All the weight I lost I have gained back and I am still exercising. I feel defeated...I have to get my mind straight. I was going on vacation in August but now that is canceled and that was my motivation..to look good. I wish you luck on your goal. I too am going to start all over.

You have not failed, you have reflected, reassessed, and discovered. I have started this journey more times than I care to share, and I'm actually wrapping up a 2.5 month weight loss challenge this week with little to no results because of my little to no effort. time to shake it off and continue trying, try again, and try something different. this is a lifestyle change, we are going to falter for we are human and that's okay. As long as we learn about ourselves at about healthy sustainable habits along the way❤

I am right with you! Sometimes it's hard not to feel defeated but at least you are up and back with the program. You actually prompted me to take a look at my Corona 15 ( not quite) and re-assess my goals. Thanks for a kick in the pants and good luck.

Take a 30 day challenge. 30 minutes of movement every day. It's that simple. You can't walk a mile without taking the first step. You're aware, you can fix it.

Dont be to hard on yourself we all have those setbacks, some days are just harder than others it's all part of your journey, and you WILL get there, some days I lose weight other days I gain, some days I stick to it and exercise other days I totally blow it, but it sounds like your committing to it and you will surely get there, your not alone in the struggle and the triumph, so be kind to yourself it's not an easy task you have set out to conquer. 😉👍❤

I feel your pain but you shouldn't consider it a failure... just a setback. Today is a new day to get back on track... something I'm about to do. Time to get on my treadmill.

I’m with you hundred percent I totally understand where you’re coming from. I’m happy that you’re willing to try again. That’s all that really matters. Way to go
