Posting on Everyday Health

I posted this on a website called everyday health. I am tracking my calories on this site and I guess felt the urge to share my situation with people.  Here is what I posted:

Hi,


Back in 2010 I joined a weightloss program and lost 109 lbs. Took me about 10 months. Not that I want to brag about it, but I did it with no exercise. Just focusing on my food. Fast forward 2 years, I have kept about 90 of it off, for a year now. The food plan was regular food that I pprepared myself, it was VERY restrictive. Well, I don't want to eat that restrictive for the rest of my life. Needless to say, the scale is starting to go up, little by little. I HAVE to stop that! I am 37 years old, married, have a 3 year old son, work full time and fight rush hour traffic (about 1 hour and 45 minutes every day). So, I am just like most of you.

I am realizing that I HAVE to incorporate exercise into my life now, if I want to maintane my weight loss. I am starting to journal my food again, as I did with the program, and that does help. I also found what helped me, was ACCOUNTABILITY!!! I need that with exercise.

As I am even writing this, I realize, I just have to do! I could ask for tips, yes. But when it comes down to it, I just have to want it bad enough to do it.

Thanks for listening. I think I just answered my own question. Why DON'T I want it bad enough to find a way to incorporate exercise? That's what it really comes down to, doesn't it? Hmm, some food for thought I guess. :) Good luck to ALL of us!
