redgirl1974's Dagbog, 29 sep 15

I've been thinking about this a while ..There are so many things that I wish someone would have told me 10 months ago when I started so I've decided to pay it forward and share what I know/learned about my weight loss journey..Some is good, some is not so good but its all my honest experience.
1. Dont expect results over night.. How long did it take you to gain that weight? In my case it took me 5 yrs to get this way..I've been anxious and annoyed that Im so flabby but I realized, I cant fix in 10 months what it took me 5 yrs to tear apart.Baby steps
2. With that said, expect flab, and sag and giggly wibbly wobbly areas.. If you have a lot of weight to loose, that excess skin most likely will have no where to go. Unless you can afford surgery, get used it bc your stuck with it no matter how much you loose.
3.You will have stretch marks if you don't already..
4. There will be good days and bad days, don't let the bad days rule your life. Pick up the pieces, dust yourself off and move on. Dont let one small cheat day become an excuse to quit.
5. Dont listen to what other people say. Do this for you.I always hated to hear " OMG what happened to you.. your so fat now" or " why bother, your so old/married/ fat ". My reason are my own and I'm not doing this for you.. I'm doing it for me..go die in a hole.. jk jk
6. Dont let the gym scare you... You might be insecure and think people are looking at you.. they are not. They are too concerned and in love with themselves.. Do your own thing.
7. Dress for success when you work out, even if its just walking bc chafing is a serious thing. So is athletes foot. Women can get athletes foot too.. take care of your body now that its all sticky and sweaty.. I prefer the 2 showers a day game plan .. which also means you will need to wash your hair a lot more than you do now.. LOL
8. Plan ahead.. make meals plans, grocery list, work out schedules. plan plan plan, being unprepared is the best way to set yourself up for failure.
9. Log everything honestly.. I still dont do this all the time. My mom always said, " your only lying to yourself when you lie, " this is so true.
10. Set goals. Little goals, big goals, daily goals, long term goals.. and stick to them.. then reward yourself when your reach them..
I dont know if this will help anyone or not but this is me, straight up, sharing what Ive learned this last year.. Its been hard.Its been fun. Dont be afraid to ask for help. Dont be afraid to try new things. Love yourself. You are worthy, you are strong, and you can do this if you want it bad enough.. Im living proof, good things happen to people who work hard !! Cheers !

It's awesome that you put into words exactly what many of us think! Somehow seeing it in print gives it validation...Thank you! And God bless you!

Well said, Red. I also think the spare skin will shrink back in time, especially at your age.

Great post redgirl. You know authors write whole books with less content than your post. Good job on sharing your knowledge. Thanks for sharing.
