I have now been watching what I eat and trying to lose weight for 9 months.
Today's weigh in put me in at 71.6 - still losing, but quite slowly of course.
My exercise has been basically non-existent and I've been so tired and unmotivated!
Plus, food is an ongoing battle. I think if I wasn't doing my paleo challenge, I would have broken some good eating habits already. I think there comes a time in your weight loss journey that you just accept the fact that you can never go back to junk food unless you want to become fat again. I'm a food addict, especially junk food.
Doesn't stop me craving it, but there is a difference between a physical craving and a mental craving. Once all the junk is out of my system by not eating it for a while, its no longer a physical craving, just a mental one.
A physical and mental one is much harder to beat than just a mental one. Which is why my weight yo-yo's all the time. I have junk, I want more junk. I have no junk, I don't want junk.
I was watching The Biggest Loser the other night and the nutritionist on there was saying that junk food is fine - if you don't keep it in the house. Its fine for special occasions and when you are out - but in your house - keep NOTHING. Which makes sense to me, and I hope to adapt that when I'm off my paleo diet, if I decide to giving myself treats.
As it stands now though - I'm not treating myself, because I just want more. And I don't want to be over 100kg again, eventually I'd like to get down to 65kg, no matter how long it takes me.
Current weight: 71.6kg
Total weight lost: 31.4kg
Weight needed to get to goal: 6.6kg
