Don’t feel to disheartened, some of what you are feeling will keep you motivated to lose the weight and not let yourself be in this situation again but you need to remember why lose weight for yourself not because of other people’s expectations. I can sympathise with you I have been through a similar situation and was really too hard on myself. I should have stepped back and seen the bigger picture and then in the long run I realised that it helped me understand why can’t I lose weight when – because I get stressed, controlling my stress made weight loss much easier.
Weekly Weigh In July 24th 2009
This is my first weekly weight in for over 3 weeks, because of my trip to Las Vegas. Before I went to vegas I completed the 3 day tuna and water diet and seen fantastic results on the scales. At my last weigh in I was down to 198.2 pounds with a body fat percentage of 21.8%. Having just stepped onto my body fat scales I am now weighing in at 203.6 pounds with a body fat percentage of 25.4%. This means in the space of three weeks I have gained nearly 6 pounds in body weight and had a 3.6% rise in my body fat composition.
I knew that I had put on some weight, put the rapid rise in body fat has really got me down. This means all the weight I have regained is all fat and it also means that I have allowed my lean muscle mass to drop as well. This is terrible news and I’m feeling awful at the moment. If it was just the body weight increase I wouldn’t feel so bad. But a 3.6% rise in body fat is shocking. I know the reasons behind this, its not the lack of exercise. It’s what I’ve been shoving into my mouth, foods such as ice cream, chips, burgers, curries, fried food and other delicious tasting junk.
I need to quickly get back to healthy eating otherwise I will quickly be back to were I started at the beginning of 2009. The months are flying by and I need to get serious otherwise I am going to make myself look like a fool to the people who read this weight loss blog and to my family and friends who know about me starting this blog and documenting my fat loss here for the whole world to see. Over the weekend I’m going to sit myself down and come up with a 3 month plan. Why 3 months well I’m going to florida in 3 months so I’m going to use this as a motivation to lose as much body fat from my body as I can.
At this stage on my body fat loss journey I should now be at around 18% body fat, but I’m nowhere near that. I started off this journey losing lots of weight fast and seeing good body fat percentage drops week after week. I need to get back to those results because it made me think that my efforts were all worth it. At the moment I feel like jacking it all in and start eating what I like again. But I know if I do this I will quickly be back to weighing 230+ pounds in just a matter of weeks. When I think of how I felt back then, its gives me the motivation and determination to keep going on my body fat loss journey.
