Life, as we all know, consists of plans and directions altered by twists and turns every where. So what happens to our weight journey when life gets in the way?
I have a wonderful family. My grandchildren are all young and adorable (that changes as they grow). I want to be a part of their lifes which go by so fast. I also have a 40 hour a week job which I was hoping to be able to quit by now. Events of the recent past have increased my debt rather than lessen it. So, I am stuck working at a decent pay – very decent – instead of being the care giver I want to be for the grand-kids.
It is time to make a decision. I talked to a realtor, finalized my plans to sell my house, and now I have several things to do to get the house ready to sell, fixing, packing, trashing, selling, storing, and moving. All this on my already time crunched schedule.
What does this have to do with weight loss or even weight management? Think of the extra stress, the missed meals, the drive through food pickups to save time, etc etc etc. Yes, what does it have to do with my weight loss journey?
It is a bump in the road; A huge bump. It will be hard to practice the new habits I have built during the past year or so. Thankfully, I am on a portion control plan where I purchase my meals and snacks all ready for the microwave. The longest any takes to cook is 6 minutes. I also will be taking an appetite suppressant to avoid binges. I will have to purchase fruits and veggies all ready prepared to have on hand as I munch through my tasks.
And exercise? I think I will be getting much more exercise than I want, thank you for asking.
All of this is to say – life is not always smooth on your weight loss journey, but you have to continue to reach your goal and past that to maintain your goal.
