Why does weight loss have to be so mental?
Why does it take some much calculation and preparation and self-control?
I saw this quote on pinterest and it has been on my mind a lot.....
This quote both made me furious and motivated. Is that even possible?
I've got the exercise part down pat! In fact, I think I'm pretty awesome at getting my workouts in every day. Yes, I'd like to spend at least another hour a day in the gym, but let's be honest, that's not possible when you're a mother who has a lot on her plate.
It's the clean eating thing that makes me furious. It's just so gosh darn hard to be that dedicated all the time. It's exhausting.
Yes, I'm ranting, hence the post title.
Most days I feel like I do the best I can.......some days I fall way short and give up.......some days I just don't care.....
But I think what's most important is that I recognize that tomorrow is a new day and I can start over and keep trying. I'm learning as I go. I'm learning that just because some people can spend hundreds of dollars a month on fancy nutrition shakes and such, and I can't, doesn't mean I can't be successful. I've lost 55 pounds on my own and I am so proud of that!
I'm definitely a work in progress and I don't think I'll ever have this weight loss stuff down pat.
I'll always struggle......
But I think that's what will make me stronger in the long run.....
