Honestly, just having this thread to post in is a massive help, since it's not just me deciding "fuck it" about food logging and eating right and exercising and that's that, there's a whole group of people here. I know shame isn't supposed to be a good motivator, but goddamn if it's what keeps me from flaking out/eating like shit.
I'll keep all that in mind as I go ahead, too.
Shame can actually be a powerful and good motivation used with moderation. It's a very fine line to walk sometimes, but there is nothing wrong with feeling shame for the right reasons as long as you are able to deal with it to get better, and not in order to spiral into depression.
Keep posting, by the way! Even this weekend I thought about this thread hoping you (and everyone else) were doing well.
I realized the other day that I've been at this since early November and I even managed to get through the holidays without getting too off-track... It just blew my mind. I've never kept a diet going this long, and I guess I shouldn't call it that because that implies it's just a temporary change, but I've always given up after a month or two in the past.
It's great because it illustrates what I said earlier: when you keep in mind that you're not dieting but changing your lifestyle and stick with it long enough, it becomes a second nature and you don't even think about it that much, you just do it and move head.
Keep making right choices and posting here!
