So I am at it again, the Shred, that is. I have gone through this on two other occasions and have seen my body do amazing things but convincing my self this time has been hard. I think the difficulty comes from knowing that I have been actively on a "diet" for the past four years. FOUR YEARS! That's a long time to feel restricted and to be actively losing weight. It all started when Jose proposed and I as most girls turn into this bridezilla that has to lose hundreds of pounds before I will even consider walking down the isle. I did manage to lose twenty pounds before our wedding in 2009 and was told to stop losing weight or my dress would fall off. (it had to be safety pinned to my bra...) Over the next three years I dropped another 20 pounds and have just had this last 15 pounds to go. I know four years sounds like a long time to be trying to lose weight and it is but I took it in stride. I did really well in bursts and then I would get tired of it and binge on french fries and brownies. So I tell you all of this to say that I am going to need a swift kick in the buttocks to get this last 15-20 pounds off and would love any words of encouragement/motivation you would like to throw my way!
What about you guys...anyone been dieting for what seems like forever? What about being in that maintenance phase, any pointers there are appreciated as well?
