Having “junk” food in the house for other members of the family and then indulging myself when I am stressed, exhausted or emotional.
The battle of wanting junk food/too much food more than I want to be healthy/look nice.
I think if it was just me then I would be able to stick with it but I get derailed by the activities and treats that my family wants. I also want to have the ice cream on a hot day but once I have the sugar I find that I have to fight so hard not to have another treat. I want to be able to eat the same meals and I find this challenging with children. I also overpack my schedule so my workout time is lost. I know these are my choices but these are my challenges and why I have a hard time keeping the weight off. I am really good at losing the weight but the maintenance is what gets me as I find it difficult to continue to say no.
Oh my, I can so relate to all the comments already mentioned. The bottom line for me is I need to make more time for myself and stick with that time. I schedule everything else in so I should be scheduling the me time in as well. Eating is getting better as I have just resigned to the fact that I will eat differently from the rest of my family at times. They refuse to eat some of my healthy stuff and I refuse to eat some of their junk stuff. However, like Karen, I do like the ice cream here and there and that just sends me into wanting more sugar. It’s breaking the habits and as you have said time and time again, Holly, stepping out of your comfort zone. But you are right it’s also hard to “not change” too. That just adds additional problems – I don’t have time for additional problems. LOL
I can relate to all the comments in one way or another. I also seem to want to make it more complicated that it really is.
My husband is my worst enemy when it comes to fueling my fire with unclean foods….it is so frusterating and have cried out to him sevareal times that I need his support on this lifestyle. Now I know that when push comes to shove, it is me having a lack of self control too, because when he brings home my favorites I need to say NO. Weekends are my tough days and this is where he wants to eat all the naughty foods and huge quantities on top of it.
My biggest challenge is just starting out with the new habits and continuing to do what works, day after day, even when results aren’t super noticeable yet. To get more days under my belt so it starts to be a new habit, gaining momentum with each choice each day, kind of like a snowball effect, is definitely what is hardest for me.
With my husband away with work, and I am home with 4 kids for the last year and a half… which includes a nursing baby, I’m lucky if I can get 3 meals on the table, much less a few minutes to myself. Oh yeah, that’s the bathroom if I’m lucky…. I will be glad next month when he comes home for good. I think having kids… there’s a point where you lose yourself, and after the nursing stage, it’s time to find yourself once again…. Because as a friend of mine says, “You ARE THAT Girl” and You are SO worth it. Thanks for the encouragement. Now it’s just getting over the hurdle of “Doing It.” It’s time to begin to get acquainted with Mr. Kettlebell.
I find that the biggest challenge right now is sleep deprivation. With a toddler and a baby, I am tired all the time. As I’m an emotional eater, the hardest part for me is making the right choices when I am tired, stressed, or otherwise experiencing negative emotion. Being tired isn’t an excuse to make poor choices, but I find it incredibly difficult. But… I am ready to make a change! Even if it means going to bed when the kids do, I’m determined to turn things around for myself!
I stick with the exercise, I eat totally healthy but i drink waaay too much alcohol which sabotages all my good work.
I also relate! The top for me is feeling exhausted and not having support from my husband. He supports me in words, but not actions. I know I will feel better when I eat less sweets and more produce, but is hard to get my head where it needs to be, because ultimately all my choices are my own and I haven’t given up my power to anyone else. I try to concentrate on one change at a time so I don’t get so overwhelmed and feel bad for not doing more.
I was in a great routine of getting up at 5am to work out before work, I managed it 5 days a week.
Then I got sick from IVF treatments (I went through 4 drug stimulated cycles), then I got sick from my pregnancy and now I am building it back up in my second trimester after 5 months of being too ill and fatigued.
I am sooo worried about how I will cope in the third trimester and after the birth with sleep deprivation and I can imagine a baby will mean sticking to a routine will be nearly impossible….. middle age spread, here I come!
Habit. It’s all about habit. When tired, it’s easiest to resort to habit. When stressed, habits move in to help lessen the load. Unlearning, and reprogramming new habits takes times, something many busy moms don’t feel they have… I’m happy to say that while my habits still aren’t great, they are miles better than they used to be, and I’m working every day to continue to improve what happens on auto pilot.
We can say that change is HARD but can make it happen when we start dominating our weaknesses. We can easily reduce our wait just we need to do work hard and concentration.
