So I’ve sat down to write this post a number of times and have never managed to get very far. Am I sabotaging my attempts to detail my sabotage? I don’t know. Also, when you write the word sabotage a bunch of times, it starts to look funny. Sabotage. Sabotage. Is that even a word?<\/p>\n

Okay. Off track. Too much coffee.<\/p>\n

I’ve been trying to lose weight for years. YEARS. And I go up and down all the time. It’s pretty common. But I can see what I’m doing wrong. I’m just not good at stopping it.<\/p>\n

I started 2013 pretty heavy. Lots of travel will do that to you. January went well. February went well. But I managed to finish March at the same weight that I started at. Not gaining is a plus, but it’s not like I plateaued for those weeks. No, I went up and then went back down. I just fell off the wagon and struggled to get back on.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I wonder if it’s almost intentional, as if I’m trying to prevent myself from succeeding. I just have to remember to keep going and keep working on it. I need to get the weight off for my health and I would like to get back into my clothes. I can’t wear 75% of what’s in my closet, and that needs to change.<\/p>\n

So for now, I just have to remember to stick to the plan. Days will be up and down, but just because I have a “bad” day, that doesn’t mean the next day is a wash as well.<\/p>\n
