Two titles I had considered for this post were: "I Got Nothin'" and "WTF?" but instead, I went with "Just Keep Swimming," because sometimes, that's all we can do. So here's a little bit of Dory from Finding Nemo, singing my personal anthem. I hope that where every you are in your personal journey(ies), you are also swimming forward towards your goal! See you in a few weeks.

90 Pounds and Counting: Just Keep Swimming
Wow, it sucks to write this, but it's true: I have gained more weight. Sigh. I wish I had some deep insight or reasonable explanation, but it's just the same old, same old. I don't mind saying that I'm a little discouraged. But it ain't over! My plan is to follow the advice I've given myself in previous posts, and just keep at it. I'll be back on May 30th, and we'll see how things are at that point.

good reminder - thanks. It all seems so daunting, but I guess we really can just stay in motion --

Hi Marceline! Yes, I have felt quite daunted, myself, these last few weeks/months. But one of my personal mottoes (I have a lot of them, lol) is "Ever Forward," and whether we swim or walk or crawl (or even drift, sometimes), I do think that staying in motion always seems to be a good way to go. :-)
DeleteThanks as always for your comment! Hugs to you, my dear!
The dastardly component of weight loss that makes "keeping on" brutally difficult is just how easy the weight can creep back. Sometimes as though it's on a trampoline!
ReplyDeleteI think you've got the right idea, though. "It" ain't over and with renewed commitment will come new milestones and celebrations. Swim on!
"Dastardly" is THE word for it! :-) Yes, it's a frustrating situation. I know that obesity is not my body's natural/optimum state, but it's been in this condition for so long that my system just doesn't know any other way. It's like pushing a car uphill. I really wants to roll back down, lol! But yes, onward with the swimming! :-)
DeleteThanks so much for your comment. :-*
Thanks for sharing, Misha. We're more than our bodies, but it sure can be frustrating when this flesh and bones won't quite do what we want. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Nic! It's funny because one good thing that has come out of this recent setback is that I'm more determined than ever to make the weight loss happen. Not just for the sake of appearance, or even health, but simply out of sheer stubborn determination. I don't want the pizza to win, lol! Anyhow, with enough time and determination, anything is possible. So, ever forward. :-)
DeleteThanks again!
Hang in there, Misha. You got this. Love Finding Nemo. Talk about a great story about a journey with lots of obstacles and pitfalls that ends happily. Your story will too. Look forward to seeing you back on top in May. Hugs. Keep swimming, girl. 😋
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Mackenzie! Truthfully, I feel very re-charged after writing this post on Monday. There's a way out of any situation, and I know I'll find mine eventually. Hugs, and thanks sooo much for the support! :-*
