Dianne-TX Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Okay, I've been on this weight loss roller coaster since my dd was born. She will be 6 in Feb. I'm not grossly overweight, but need to lose at least 30 pounds, 40 would be even better. But, every time I get on track and begin to better my lifestyle, it lasts for awhile, but then after I start losing weight something psychological happens. I almost get scared to lose weight. Does that make sense? I somehow sabotage myself. Can anyone relate or am I just crazy by myself? (boy, I hope not!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdie Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I'm not quite sure what you are talking about, but maybe if you approached it from a health perspective. I love Prevention magazine (and their website). They have information on the many benefits of exercise and great information on eating nutrient dense food.

Does that make sense? I somehow sabotage myself. Can anyone relate or am I just crazy by myself? (boy, I hope not!) I know what you mean and I sabotage myself a fair bit. I need to lose 30 lbs according the dr, 50 according to me. I start to lose weight and once I hit baout 10 lbs down I start over eating/making the wrong choices etc until I am back at my original weight. NOw the wierd thing is that I never go above that original weight, I have been at it since I had my second 9 years ago. I am not sure how to overcome it, I am thinking I have to somehow power though it, but don't know how. I am not happy at this weight, but I do think if offers me protection, for example I can easily blame the fact I am still single on the weight, after all guys don't like big girls, but if I lose the weight and I am still rejected(as I was for the first 20 years of my life), then it is mor hurtful kwim. I catch myself thinking things like that while sabotaging myself, it's pathetic but I don't know how to change it. Maybe we can help each other get over that hurdle and see if powering through is enough to make the changes more long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
