I rejoined (mentally back in the game)
I rejoined today after about a year long absence.
I was a 3 year member when I fell away. I had lost 75 pounds and at one point came withing 1.5 pounds of goal. Then I had gained some back on. I had become bored with the program, couldn't lose (because I wasn't working the program), etc. etc. The really straw on the camel's back was I took a new job with a significantly longer commute and erratic hours. I found it very difficult to make the meetings regularly. All these things combined and I decided to quit. I wasn't mentally there anymore anyhow. During my year absence I still followed points mentally (never tracked) but cheated more. I found I could maintain whatever weight I was at no problem, but if I put any on (vacations, etc.) I couldn't get it off again without the fear of the weekly scale. So as you imagine the weight crept back on over that year. I was getting more and more dissatisifed with my weight gain and how I let work over ride my health...but more important, for the first time in a year I am mentally there again. I am ready to work the program, to give it 100%, and to believe in it again. That was what was missing until very recently. Now that I had the desire again and the motivation again, I just needed a meeting I could get to. I still won't make the nightly Mondays with my favorite leader with this same job, but I can make the lunch ones here near work. Sooooo, I rejoined and I am back in the game. My short term goals are to just track, track, track. Long term, fit in my "skinny shorts" again hopefully by summer. Yay, I am back! Man it feels good and I haven't even lost a pound yet! But knowing I am in control again is a powerful feeling! Thanks for reading! Melissa in NJ |
