Confessions of a food addict...

Posted by Gayle on April 17, 2009 at 11:00 PM

 

   Oh man you guys!!! If you haven't noticed yet I haven't post my last weigh in?


WHY?


  Well I've been BAD really I've been bad all month! (weigh in is posted now) Along with the love of my life moving in I've also had some very hard times at the gym & my job! Things just haven't been the same and it's really taken a toll on me! The unfortunate part is I let it affect me mentally and when that happens food becomes my friend and we all know where that leads us?


  Oh did I mention last weekend was Easter so candy became my weakness real quick L


The Good News is as of today I've been back on track now for 4 days!


The Bad News? Well friends I've gained some weight back? As of last weekend it was 3 pounds as of this weigh in well we'll see Sunday? L


I'm sorry for not staying strong this month and I can't believe I'm sitting here giving excuses as to why I've had a bad month, but it is what it is and now all I can do is learn from the pass and move on!


So what happen?


The Gym: I'm not going to go into details as to why I decided to leave the compound just know I had to do what's best for ME! Staying there was only hurting me and no more will I live my life in pain!!!


The Job: Well like most of America I lost my job March 31st and didn't see that coming from a mile away! That was VERY HARD! All my co-workers were like family to me and a huge part of my support group for my weight loss success! If you're reading this guys I miss YOU ALL more then you know!!! I plan to stop by sometime in June :)


The Bills/House Payment: The Stress of Life has hit me hard once again and food has been the blanket for the pain!


Like I said above I'm doing better now but still not 100% as of yet but I am doing better!


Tomorrow I'll be getting my CrossFit Cert and I plan to work really hard to one day have my own gym!


Thanks for all the Support and please know that without YOU I would be so lost! your support is what keeps me going!!!


**See 43 Days till Nutrition Cert Challenge** For a Challenge we can do together!!!


((hugs))

Wow, thank you so much for sharing, you are a huge inspiration to many and I am praying that things go better for you now that you opened up and shared your struggles with us. That was the hard part for me. Keep it up you will get there. One day at a time! I believe in you!

Im pretty sure meeting a guy and getting involved pretty quik has alot to do with your gain, seems when you get "happy" nothing els matters, you wanna spend time with him and not at the gym...its gonna be hard to make time for both, but in the long run, you need to think about you and not him...sorry but i say it as i see it..i hope you get backon track...you know as well as i do if you gain it back its gonna be 5 times as hard to get it off again..dont let a new relationship get in your way...find a way to balance it all...you look great by the way and im proud of you for going this far....

I'm sorry you had a rough month, Gayle. I also had a gain. I gained 5 pounds in one week. It was my birthday week and I indulged a little too much. I lost 1 of those 5 pounds my last weigh in. Hopefully will get the rest off soon!

Gayle!! Why do we do this? After all of this time I am still amazed that it surprises me when I can relate to someone online. I'm so happy to have love in my life again, I never even saw it coming so why am I eating like crap? Its the whole work stress thing - why haven't I realized this before? You are strong and even though we all fall down once in a while, you will keep getting back up. Be proud and keep on inspiring yourself and the rest of us!

Gayle-
I am going to sound like a wench, I know, but NEVER apologize for not staying strong. One thing I have learned or had to learn the hard way is moments happen where things just wont come together. Its NEVER about falling, its about picking yourself up and going forward.

PS. You don't know how envious I am of you, getting to be certified as a Crossfit Coach and starting to train, I keep working on everything and its going slower and a lot harder then planned.
