Yet, the reality is the process of getting here is really simple: eat less, exercise more. So why is it really so very difficult? Why is it that this has been a battle, worse than any other war? Why do I have to remind myself everyday to keep doing this, to keep going?
This is my 100th post. It is a milestone of 100 reminders to keep moving, keep trying. I pledge to leave the baggage at the door, and to allow myself to enjoy this process. I am so much stronger, I look so much healthier, I have so much more respect for myself. I pledge to stop fighting the invisible battles and just get on with it.
To quote the great Stewart Smalley: I am good enough. I am smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like me!

ReplyDeletebut....
you said "Yet, the reality is the process of getting here is really simple: eat less, exercise more."
and I have to disagree with that for sure.
Weight loss, at least for me, is not a + b = c. It's a compilation of many things including emotions, habits, environment, relationships, thoughts, tastes, smells, efforts, failures, wins... There is just nothing "simple" about it at all!
It takes loads of effort, thinking, planning and overcoming to lose weight. You know this! Don't fool yourself into thinking you're not doing enough by saying "it's such an easy formula, why is it so had for me" because it's not an easy formula at all and you're doing really, really well.
It would be a shame for you to not give yourself heaps of credit when heaps of credit are due! You've attacked your weight loss from many angles, not just "ate less, worked out more". Well done!
Congrats on your 100th post ;)
