The Ups and Downs Of Weight Loss

In the past two months, I have lost about 30 pounds, this was done with taking an appetite suppressant, lowering my calorie intake, and working out. The past few weeks have been a struggle, I have been battling eating while depressed and stressed and starving myself at the same time. Yes, I know both are wrong, however, if I eat when I am depressed I will gain all the weight I lost back. If I don’t eat when I am depressed aka starve myself, I don’t have to worry about gaining the weight back.

I have learned portion control is the key to losing weight, which is why I was taking an appetite suppressant, this allowed my stomach to shrink so I don’t over eat. Which is a good thing, because some things I could eat and eat even if I was full.

I have faith that I will continue to lose weight even though I am no longer taking the appetite suppressant, because my stomach is smaller, I have learned to drink lots of water, and I am slowly starting to workout again on a daily bases. I have to remember what the end goal is, and not lose track.

Often times I feel hopeless though, and fall back into my old ways. This is where the ups and downs of weight loss come into play. Now that summer is here I hope to stay more active, again this is hard to do when I make a living on the computer. I just have to remember to have me time and get up and move more!

What are some fun things you like to do to keep moving?
