I have gained nearly 10 lbs. since I returned from my last backpacking trip, in only about a months time. I know what I'm doing wrong. Not eating right, eating to much, allowing the wrong carbs, not getting any exercise. I have to get radical. I have always had the most success when I have been really strict. I have to stop allowing [those] carbs to sneak in. I am very frustrated as I write this. I know that I have to keep the right behaviors up for a much longer duration to really make any progress. I know that it has to be a lifestyle. I do lead a healthy eating lifestyle, but its when I allow any indulgences that I backslide. It is "too" often and the result is always one step forward and two steps back. I repeat I need to stay strict for much longer. I know that for me, the cheats are very severe hindrances. It really truly is extremely hard when the people you live with always eat the wrong stuff (for my approach to eating healthy) and so that food is always in my face and right under my nose. And when somebody says to you "Dinners ready" it really is like placing it right under your face. Then when I complain about their influence on my eating the response is "Well you don't have to eat it" or "Nobody's twisting your arm to eat it". But it is still true that the influence is there and it does make it extremely hard to stay faithful to my own approach to nutrition. With all that other food there I find it hard to get around to cooking for my self. I hate that I am overweight. I've basically been overweight from early grade-school to present. My being fat I believe has been a major factor in my lack of happiness. I believe that being fat has affected me in that it also plays a role into my lack of achieving very much in life. My lack of self confidence, and low self esteem... now I'm struggling to express what I mean. I'll just say that being fat is one of the major factors in my underachieving and unhappiness. I will try to remember that I have lost 56 lbs. I had lost 75 lbs. but have gained that much back. (19-20 lbs. approx. at this time. That's all for now.
