I guess I should give an update on my journey.
2018 started off wonderful. Back in June 2017 I committed to staying 100% on the Trim Healthy Mama Plan and I went a little over a year 100%! From June to October I lost 52 pounds. From October 2017 to August 2018 I continued 100% on THM, but I stopped losing weight and just stalled out. And since August I have gained back about 39 pounds.
This has been a pattern in my life, and one that I was hoping to break when I started THM. But instead of trying to overcome the stall I was in, I chose to go back to old patterns. What started out as one "cheat meal" has turned into about 6 months of jumping on and off the "Trim Train".
After talking with my doctor about what has happened and reviewing patterns and health history of PCOS and Blood Pressure, she has given me until August to get back on track otherwise we will need to start talking about more extreme measures to overcome the weight and health issues.
Needless to say, I have been so frustrated and disappointed with myself and that has just added to the unhealthy cycle. However my eyes have been opened to some things about myself:
1) I still have the mentality that I am "dieting" and not truly doing a "life style change that never ends".
2) I have to prep for times when I am away from the house. This is when I fall into the temptation to have off-plan foods.
3) I need accountability and I have to speak up when friends and family are suggesting ideas for when we get together and food is involved.
Another thing that has happened during this time is that my dear husband has decided to join me on the THM journey and is working towards being a Trim Healthy Hubby!
I don't know what the Lord has in store for us this year but I am trusting in His Soveriegn Grace.
