Motivation

I guess motivation is a good title for this post. The past few weeks I've been lacking it.  My exercise has been less than optimal and my diet......well, that's another story. It's not been way off track.  My sleeve helps tremendously with that.  However, I haven't been as disciplined with it as I should have been and it is showing on the scale. I was so close to the 60 pounds almost three weeks ago and I still haven't made it there. This week has been better. I feel more mentally optimistic and back on my game. This is definitely a journey. Not just a journey of losing weight and getting healthier, but a journey of learning.  A journey of learning about my issues with food and all that encompasses as well as learning how to live in this world peacefully (and not obsessively) with food.  This journey is so much more than I ever imagined it would be when I started this journey. I continue to immerse myself with Support in the ways I've discussed before - weekly and monthly support groups runs by a psychologist, my sleever's Facebook group and a local support group of other sleever's that meets monthly for lunch. I don't expect to go through this journey without hiccups along the way and I guess the past couple of weeks is what I'd call a hiccup. I think I learn a lot during those times and I think I grow during those times. I just wish those times didn't involve growing physically!  Anyway, like I said, I feel more back on track. Now I just need to keep it that way. I wanna reach 60 pounds lost soon!

I hope everyone is doing well and losin' lots of weight!
