What next???
I feel like I need another first step. I’ve been doing this weight loss thing since December and the last month or so I lost my MO-JO! I’m kind of half on, half off. I eat pretty good, exercise and then have this not so good “treats” or evening meals.
And then, the next day I ’start again’. Only problem is, I’m not doing as good as I was. I’m doing a lot of good, and I want to recognize that, but I want to do better.
I was on the ‘abs diet’ for a bit, which is actually a pretty good diet, the food is healthy and the exercise plan is sound. But the diet is not designed great and there are not good guidelines for making it work for you.
So! Here are my thoughts of where to go next!
1) Weight watchers: I know that accountability would be helpful and I know it works for a lot of people. So, I’m considering it.
2) Create a plan for me. Try to sit down, and create days with “healthy meals” that I like, tailored with calories to meet my weight loss needs.
3) Just count calories: I was doing this for awhile and it was working. But sometimes, if it fit in my calories, I was having things like chocolate or what not that were not too healthy!
4) See a nutritionist. I think I can see one for free through my work plan.
Any thoughts, feedback? Anyone on here who’s gone the distance and been where I am? I do still want to lose the weight, but not crazy like I used to? Humm….

I think those are great goals. I know you can do this!
I think if it’s free to go see a nutritionist through your work, I’d say do it. They will not only look at what you’re doing now and help you change to a healthier lifestyle, but they may even counsel you a bit through it. It’s important that you dont look at this as a short-term thing. That’s why all your other “diets” failed. This is a long road… with lots of ups and downs. You have to keep putting one foot infront of the other.
Weightloss is a bit like a never ending journey. When you reach your goal weight, you start a new phase of maintenance, which takes as much effort as losing the weight in the first place.
I say number 5, see a nutritionist. I know you have the knowledge to do this journey hon!
Hey, if it is free to see a nutrionist then you have nothing to lose!
I think you just need to get focused. Maybe try and realise again why you want to lose weight? or are you happy at the weight you are now? what would change if you lost weight? are there things you could do that you can’t now? Maybe just make a list and think it out, and i’m sure you will come up with enough great reasons to get back on track!
Good luck
Wow! You’ve put so much thought into this, you can’t help but succeed! I agree that if the nutritionist won’t cost, then it can’t hurt. Maria had some great questions too… (got me thinking), anyway… Just know that another sister is out here rooting for you! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for all the support buddies!
I really think you have this figured out. Just apply what you already know to be true
This journey is crazy sometimes, but WE CAN DO THIS!
