Why can't you lose weight?
Why can't you lose weight? Ask yourself this and answer it very honestly. List the first 5 things that come to mind. STOP READING this and actually write down your answers.
Below are mine.
1. my constant injuries and pain
2 Wanting candy when Geo gets candy
3. laziness
4. eating at night
5 going out to eat too much.
Now list 5 things you can change to remove the problems above.
1. Find something to do within my limits. My hip might hurt like hell, but my upper body is fine, so I can use the pedal bike.
2. get mini candies (I have enough self control to just eat a couple) and Duvalin (it's a Mexican candy of various flavors that is so sweet one little portion is enough)
3. Work on one small thing (mini goals) so I don't get overwhelmed and give up
4. Only have protein shakes after 10
5. Stay at home and cook.. it's not too hard. Part of it is laziness too, but lately Geo has been doing the cooking.

Larissa, great post, yes laziness plays a big part, but so do genetics. People seem to forget that. And if your thyroids not working, that can be part of the problem too. Do not stop eating things that you are used to. That will be a sure failure. My mother got my father to lose almost 100 pounds by just cutting back. They both ate a bit less each meal until they were down to half. I am going to do that too, Hugs.
great post larissa, or journal i should say. i agree to try cutting back and my problem is eating at night too when i get home from work. i hope your hip is feeling some better, again i am so sorry i havent talked, just cant, i hope u can forgive me
great post. now what are the reasons i do the same. some people claim cooking makes you eat more and if you don't buy any food at all then there is nothing to eat. who knows. i'm going to come back at this and figure out mine too.
