Just when I feel like things are starting to go well, everything shifts again and I'm left frustrated and confused. I think I kind of just need to block everything else out and focus on myself. I can't figure out what to do about all of the outside things...I just need a break. And maybe I can kill two birds with one stone and get my diet/exercise back on track by focusing on myself, too. After all, that's pretty much what I did the first time. I didn't really have anything else to focus on. So maybe it will work again.
I ate ok today, but not really on the detox diet. I'm re-evaluating everything as far as the diet goes.... I kind of want to do the detox diet because I know it at least works somewhat (although I don't think the results have been equal to how intense it is), but it's just so limiting and I don't know if I'm in the right mindset for that. I'm in a different place than I was when I started it before (literally and figuratively). Back then I was so motivated that I was willing to do whatever worked, and I didn't mind sacrificing things. But I don't feel quite as dedicated right now, so I think maybe I should at least start with something more lenient. But at the same time, the low calorie thing really wasn't working very well for me last time, which is why I changed to the detox diet. So I just don't want to work hard at something that gives me no results. And I really feel like I need to do something that will give me some quick initial results since right now I'm feeling a little discouraged about all the weight I've put back on, and it's a little daunting to feel like I'm starting all over again. Ugh.
So I'm not sure what to do....I guess there are pros and cons of both. Maybe I'll stick with the detox thing, but add in a few extra things....like chicken and stuff. Who knows. I'll think about it over the next day or so. I'm going to pick up my gym passes tomorrow, and hopefully make it there tomorrow. Although, I have a LOT of work to do tomorrow and probably Sunday, so I may not have a chance....Either way, I'm going to start working out again soon. I NEED to for my mental health if nothing else.
Good night.

ReplyDeleteYay to this! Although, you don't really have to block anything out (that might just mean your avoiding and/or not dealing with things, which can come back to haunt you), BUT you need to just accept the fact that there are some things you can't change, and that there's no point in stressing over those things. Concentrate on the things you can change, which, you're right, pretty much leaves you. :)
As far as the diet stuff goes, I am on that detox diet right now, but after a like 4 days of doing it hardcore, I started adding in a few other things to make it a little more lenient. I think it still works quite well that way. I still feel lighter, healthier, and wayyy less bloated.
Good luck!
