Maybe more like running back. The rapid expansion of my ass, despite large amounts of exercise, has shown me, once again, that I have NO control over food and the amount I consume. The eating has been ridiculous for quite some time and it had to stop. It is interferring with my goals and my self esteem.
So friends, I made the decision on 10/15 to go back to Jenny Craig. So far so good. I had my first weigh in on Saturday and I lost 6.4 pounds. Umm, yeah the eating was that out of control. Can you say MASSIVE water retention?! I will have to figure this out since I know that 1500 calories/day is unrealistic for the amount I exercise, but I just needed the daily (often multiple) trips to fast food restaurants, the hiding in my car eating pieces of cake the size of my head, and the restaurant binge eating until I am physically ill, to stop. I seem to do better when I am told what to eat and most of the choices and portions are given to me.
A little background for those who don't know me. I was here as while a go. I hit goal on Jenny Craig, and almost immediately started gaining weight back when I went off. I have struggled with food my whole life.
I am a runner and a triathlete and I very much enjoy my new active lifestyle, but I can't seem to get the food piece.
I have a blog about my exercise stuff, but I needed to return to what worked for the weightloss. This is an amazing tool with an amazing group of women!
I have found my way back to EP too! I think we often think we've met goal and bam life is great and we will stay that way BUT like the old saying goes "old habits die hard." I'm glad you lost that first 6.4lbs on Jenny. I lost almost 8 on my first week at WW. It's crazy how much water your body retains.
WB! Although sory it is due to eating. I'm with you sister. A friend remarked to me other day after we were discussing (over the phone) all this running, etc I have been doing ... she says "Wow, you must be looking wonderful and must have dropped a ton of weight with all that exercising" . To which I stammered errrrrrrrrr ... ummmmmmmmmm... ackkkkkkkkkkkkk!
Well, I would have if I hadn't been stuffing my face after all the runs *sigh*!
Somehow I have managed to ever so slightly go down but she sure unknowingly hit me in the gut with that one! Made me admit it to myself and then a few days later I called to admit it to her and to thank her for her comment.
Hey you! Welcome Back! EP isn't quite as bad now, I think. I hope you come here more often now. I do read your other blog all the time, though. I don't comment all the time, though. It's hard for me to remember my google password. I've missed ya! Great week at JC, by the way!
