Well I'm in a bit of a rut. A little over a year ago, I had a doctor visit and was told I needed to lose 50-60 pounds. I had high blood pressure and a high risk for heart disease. Okay well that scared me so I went to it. Also I wanted a dog so my mom said if I lost the weight, she'd buy me one.
So it's a year later, I lost my 60 pounds already, got my dog, and have normal blood pressure, and my risk for heart disease will never be perfect buy I'm taking meds to help it stay up there. But I have no motivation left.
I'm under pressure at work and school, lots of stress, and I'm a stress eater, so I can't seem to get to stay at the weight I want because when I come home from work or school, I have to study, so I don't get as much excersice as I'd like and the vicious cycle continues as I feel like crap because I haven't kept my weight down. My weight is up 10 pounds so I'm only down 50 and that's where I want to be 5 pounds down, but with my eating habit and lack of excersice, I've gained about 5 over that. Now we're not talking a lot of weight, just a matter of 5 to maybe at most 10 pounds...but with the stress eating thing I just can't seem to get to, more over I can't find a good reason to care that can motivate me. Like I said, I'm in a rut.
