Well, here I am again, more than a week later from my last post. (day after Easter) Feeling bummed, and ashamed, and frustrated and just about ready to say "f _ _ _ it!" I know that sounds awful and crass and it makes me a quitter. But it's true! I AM a quitter! I start and stop, start and stop. Blah, blah, blah, whine, cry, pout. What a baby! Who wants to read this crap anyway?? How much more pathetic can I get? Don't you wanna just kick me in the butt?? Or say "just shut up, you whining, crying brat!!" I DO!! I want to kick myself in the ass and slap my own face! :{ GAAAAHHH!!
I have regained any weight I lost and am back up to 253# as of this minute. I barely fit into my fattest clothes (sizes 18/20) and feel like my face is huge, cheeks puffing up, making my eyes little squinty pig eyes. I don't just eat "normally" but overeat like a mad woman, even when I'm not even remotely hungry. I make excuses to not work out, not walk, not swim.
- "I don't feel good."
- "I'm tired."
- "I don't have time."
- "I don't look too bad."
- "I'm not THAT fat!"
- "Tim loves me just the way I am."
- "I'll probably just gain what I lose."
- Etc, etc, etc.
- WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME????!!! :<
If I actually post this stupid, whining blog post, I'll feel publicly humiliated and ridiculous. What's the point, anyway?? I probably need to see a shrink; there must be something mentally wrong that I abuse my body this way and abuse my self-esteem by putting this crap out there. I look at my reflection in the mirror on the opposite wall; there I sit, wearing my HUGE comfy old nightgown that I just found packed away with fat-pants I don't fit into, face all bloated, hair a wreck, glum face. Wow. Pathetic.
What is wrong with me??? How can I keep doing this over and over? Who even wants to hear/read this crap? Why do I bother? I'm no help to anyone, least of all to myself. I don't know what to do. I'm my own worst enemy. Why can't I be consistent and stick with my plan? It's really not difficult. I feel good when I'm eating well and exercising. I like what I eat when I'm eating well. I have good energy. So what is WRONG with me?????
I enjoy your honesty! That is one of your strong character traits.
ReplyDeleteI too struggle with body issues. I like to eat when I am bored and I just really like cooking. I find all sorts of reasons why I can't do the work to reshape this body. I don't think I eat too much, but since 40 I have found the shape of my body is harder to maintain. I usually don't want to think of the work it takes to get it back to pre-babies.
Thanks for letting us into your thinking.
