I've never had to struggle too hard with my weight. I danced every day for most of my life so I was pretty fit. I wish I had appreciated what I looked like back in those days. Why do we as women get so down on ourselves. We can't ever be happy for what we have or for what we look like, it seems like we are always thinking we need to be more than what we are. Watching these contestants last night I was thinking, "I weigh less than all of these people (well except Helen, way to go Helen!), yet I am not confident in the way I look." What is wrong with me??
Last year I was totally unmotivated about losing the weight after Aria was born. Thankfully my friend Natalie told me about the trainer she was going to. I signed up knowing that I needed a kick in the pants to get out of my funk. It was great having Natalie there with me, I loved having someone to commiserate with and help me laugh through the tough workouts. I lost 20 pounds and I was in the best shape of my life. After I stopped going I kind of slacked off a bit. I kept exercising, but not as hard as I had been, and I started eating junk again. Why do we do this to ourselves? I swear I am sabotaging myself and I am doing it knowingly!
Well I have been exercising very diligently these last four months but I can't seem to stop eating sweets. I know better, yet I keep doing it. Does anyone have any advice? Does anyone have any healthy snack options that might be able to satisfy my sweet tooth? Does anyone want to join me in my quest to master my food addiction? What else can we turn to when we are stressed, depressed and feeling a bit lonely? I could use all the help I can get, because I am feeling like the Biggest Loser lately and I don't mean that in a good way.
