I'm so frustrated with myself.
In the past, I was able to lose 40 lbs with CICO/MFP.. it took a while and, by the time I hit my goal, I felt like I "deserved" to take a break (in retrospect, obviously a stupid decision.. one doesn't take a break from a "lifestyle change") Anyway, fast forward six years and 70 lbs and here I am again.
For some reason, this time I can't seem to make myself do it! I've recently started following a financial budget (yay for YNAB!) and I've been doing really well with that - watching my spending and making good decisions, building up a tiny savings account.. all sorts of happy progress. It feel like getting back on track with my eating should be the same exact thing.. follow my calorie budget, track my "spending".. make good decisions.
When it comes to money, I can easily decide not to buy something I don't need and avoid putting it on my credit card. Nope, I can't have that today. But with food? I can't seem to flip the switch in my head this time.
I KNOW I should be tracking and keeping to my calorie budget. I know if I eat the chips/fries/candy/junk, it's just like I'm putting charges on my credit card. I can't afford to eat this.. but apparently there's a part of me that just doesn't care.
I'm not sure if I'm asking for advice (I know what I need to do, just can't seem to make myself do it), or just wanted to vent to people who I'm sure will understand. Either way, thanks for reading. :)
