In a Funk

I don't know what has been going on with me lately but I am truly in a funk. I can't see to get my head in this weight loss game right now. Last week I had an excellent loss of 5.2 lbs after a 2lb gain on Monday. So I was excited about that and thought that I was back on track but alas. When I stepped on my home scale this morning is said that I was up 4 lbs since yesterday morning. I was sevestated. I have been in a bad mood all day about it too.

I am not sure what it is that I am doing. Scratch that. I know that I am not being as diligent as I was at the beginning of my journey. I am not measuring anything and just guessing at calories and not really know what is going into my body. I am not sure why I have become so lazy but this has got to stop. Every week I am going back and forth. Gaining and loosing and gaining and loosing again. This is not the way that I wanted my journey to go.

I guess I have gotten complacent since I have lost 43 lbs but I still have a long way to go. If you look at my ticker I still have 135 lbs to go so I really have no room to get slack and do what I am doing now. I really wish I could figure out why I keep self sabotaging. If I recall this is the way my past weight loss attempts have gone, even though I have lasted longer this time. It always happens this way. I am gung ho for a while and then I start to taper off until I am right back where I started or weighing more than what I did when I began. I don't want that to be the way this goes.

I am determined to beat this thing if it takes all I have. I have to lose this weight and become the woman that I envision.

On a brighter note I was looking through my phone and I saw some picture that I have taken of myself over the last year or so. I wasn't really seeing the changes form my weight loss until I looked at these pictures. I am so proud of what I have accomplished so far but this is not the end just the beginning of what I am destined to be. So here are the pics for your viewing pleasure.

Loved my hair in this pic! LOL



October 2010
Not quite as round but still not a very noticable difference.



Early March 2011
I am starting to see a noticable difference. Not so round now.



This is the one that I noticed the greatest difference.
My jaw line is trying to be defined and I am able to see a big difference
from March of last year.



Can you see a difference?

There is always a brighter side I just need to focus on that and keep my head in the game.
