Why do I keep falling off the wagon?
What a difference three months and some new people in your life can make to how you feel about yourself and life as an obese older gentleman.
I have taken these few months to make some new friends and getting rid of people who bring nothing positive to my life.
My muse and motivator remains a huge part of this journey for me.
I fell off the wagon again, but I have found an additional accountability partner in the past week and the two of us are doing this weight loss thing together.
Stacy* wants to lose 20kg and I have to lose 30kg.
The new rules are:
- Lose weight
- Only weigh ourselves on a Monday morning and then send a picture of the scale to each other.
- There will be no dictating to each other what we should eat.
- Responsibility for making this work falls on us.
- We are there to chat in those difficult times we have all experienced during our diets.
Simple, but effective. Right?
Nope! If it was this simple I would have succeeded long ago.
I have paid little attention to dieting in the past few months, yet my weight has remained constant to a point.
If you have read through a few of the articles on my blog, you see that I have had a lifelong battle with my weight and trying to slim down.
I have sat with a therapist in the past to see if there are internal issues which are responsible for my not being able to stick to a plan and lose weight. Both times the therapist said there was no reason to return after the third and fourth sessions respectively.
Procrastination is killing me. I should have lost this weight decades ago.
