Frustrations on Weight Loss
(Xposted from Twitter)
The problem I'm facing as I look at "I want to and physically need to lose weight, stat," is that there is very little I find as pleasurable and/or as comforting as food, specifically, sugar and fat, so all my relaxation/comfort is based around food and/or sloth. I have no self-stress-relief (Except walking) or self-reward that doesn't involve either curling up and doing nothing or eating or both.
And yes, Feast Day is not the best day to be thinking about it.
But I want to lose 4 lbs by Jan 1st and 10 by Mar 1, 20 by June 1st... So I need to DO something.
And I don't know how to make myself STICK to it.
Hunh.
I wonder if I could use Habitaca (sp?) just for that...
Edited to add:
Things I am going to do include - Going back on weight watchers (the old system). And using a spreadsheet so I can play with numbers. I like playing with numbers.
Giving myself different goals. Goals I can measure quickly - like points in/exercise out - and then weight goals.
Going back to stepping on the scale every day. Every. Single. Day. And writing it down.
Starting Sunday.
