I wish there was a magic bullet for weight loss.
I know I CAN lose weight, I've done it in the past. I know my issues are mental/emotional, not medical.
My problem is that when I like myself, I treat myself. It's a sad state; the only times I can diet successfully is when I'm feeling terrible about myself. I was a very skinny teenager!! (But not in a healthy way; I think I was borderline anorexic if not fully there. I would pass out all the time. Not. Healthy.) You can always tell when I'm happy...my fat pants get tight!
I'm working on changing that, but it's hard...apparently that attitude is REALLY ingrained. I start to lose weight and it's extremely hard for me not to "celebrate" and treat myself to something bad for me. Maybe hypnosis would help, I doubt it would solve the problem all on its own. Life is never that easy. (sigh)
I wish it was as easy to lose weight as it is to spend money; and as easy to earn money as it is to gain weight. Wouldn't THAT be nice!?!?
