My first failure

[dj_kris2k9]

At the start of 2016 I had set myself a target of losing 25kgs by the end of the year, by November 2016 I had smashed that target and some. I was so happy and loving life, then what I can only describe as the worst 2 months of my life happened and everything I worked hard on to achieve fell from beneath me.  I broke up with my girlfriend of 4 years and my grandmother had passed away over the holidays. 

 

I've put on 10kgs in the last two months, I feel fat, I feel unfit and worst of all I hate what I've gotten into, and can't see any way out of it. 

I seem to have lost all forms of motivation to eat right and exercise, the days I do exercise I undo it by not eating right and then there are days where I plan to do something (go for a run, go to the gym) and then I find myself making the lamest excuses to get out of it such as; Oh my headphones are busted and I don't like the gym music, my all time favourite though is; "Oh it looks like it's going to rain, I best not go outside"

 

Starting from Today I have vowed to commit to the following three things; 

1) Hit the gym at least 4 x a week. 

2) Cook at least 70% of my meals at home 

3) To get back into a healthy lifestyle.

You can do this! You have done it before, so you know you are strong and capable.

You can totally do this... you should come over to the warrior's challenge so we can egg you on or at least spam you with cat pictures.

 

Also not the lamest excuses I've heard... my shoes are too tight, the sun's in my eyes.....

Thanks guys for the support truly appreciated. Its been a week in and i'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. My diet is not exactly the best right now, but i'm slowly cleaning it up. 

 

I've decided to stop weighing myself every week, and instead focus on how i look / feel, and how my clothes look and feel on me. I've come to realise that whenever i see the numbers on the screen i just get disheartened by it. 

Thanks again for the support. 

Hopefully won't let you guys down!

Wish you luck! I have a strong feeling that if you did so well before, that is is only a short amount of time before you are up there again.

 

Also, you may have already done this, but I recommend not trying to lift as heavy yet. Start lower, and when you feel ready again move up.

This is a solid insight. Keep it up. Let us know if we can support you in any way.

The same happened to me over the summer. It was the most frustrating and enraging feeling I have ever experienced.

Great on you for bouncing back.

Make a thread, keep yourself accountable. The 4 Week challenge only just started, and the Rebels are an incredibly supportive group.
