DWWISE83's Final Stretch : The Last 20 Pounds

(I really hated to post that number, but I needed to. I needed to own up to this, no matter how embarrussed I feel. I need to accept that I've gain 20 (!) pounds so that I can learn and move forward. I can't hide from the weight gain anymore... )

Accepting the problem is the first step.

It's all down hill from here dude.

You'll get back on track, I beleive in you.
 
Well, I'm happy to report that I am doing very well :)

The food part in particular. I somehow fell right back in line with the diet and feel great. The scale was down 4.2 pounds as of yesterday, nearly back in the 180s, whoohoo.

Exercise is still a struggle and seems to be harder to get back into. I'm going to keep trying though.

Official first weigh-in is tomorrow!
 
I applaud you for being honest. I have slipped also but it has been a slower process. I gained 13 lbs in about 2 months. I was 206 last Friday. I'm not sure what I am right now, hopefully a little less. I have weigh in on Friday's now.

We can do this buddy. Just remember we used to be a lot heavier and as long as we put a stop to the weight gain and slowly lose weight again, this will just turn out to be a sumbling block.
 
Hey DW, good job getting back on the wagon.

Well, this is going to be my last post for a while and I thought I would stop in and post up to say bye for now as I fly off to Kuwait.

Take care of yourself and keep up the good work and motivation. You are a great inspiration on others.

So, until later. Bye.
 
I went running yesterday.

It's been months since my last post. Months since I last went running. Months since I last ate sensibly. Yet here I am, trying to pick back up and not only reach my goal but maintain it for life. Not for a few weeks or days... LIFE. I'm tired of this cycle and tired of re-losing the same pounds over and over again. Does anyone else struggle with this? Making it to your goal, then back sliding over and over again?

Enough of the sadness, now for the happy. I'm happy, believe it or not! Yes, I'm disappointed in myself, but you know what, I haven't given up. I'm back on here, right!? That is definitely a step in the right (and healthy) direction.

Not only am I back, but I have a completely different mindset. One I hope will get me from point A to point B.

So, hello all of you LOSERs, old friends and new, how are you!!??!?

It's time to succeed!

I couldn't tell you how many times I have been dedicated to a diet then quitting, then restarting! The hardest part is re-starting IMO, and today is my third day on the healthy wagon, but I plan on this being the LAST time I have to worry about my weight because I plan on sticking to this way of living for as long as my body can stand it! I wish you the best on your journey. Feel free to visit my diary and leave a comment if you'd like, trying to get to know more people on this site :D

Take Care!
 
Hey buddy, nice to have you back! It's a tough battle for many of us. You were doing so good but I think you might have been to hard on yourself and thought you weren't quite good enough, when in fact you were. I think you were doing great back when. Now is a new beginning though, of yet another battle. So go kick some ass and be proud of your accomplishments.

Great to see you back and posting again!

Derrick
