I have expressed my frustrations with my ability to stick to diets. Weight Watchers work but the weekly points tend to give me an opportunity to over eat, I don't tend to make the best choices, then I gain weight and then I quite. I've tried to get going with a combo of Advocare and WW and have yet to succeed. I've bought two body bugs, two fit bits, heart rate monitor watches, I've joined JillianMichales.com, fitness pal, weight watchers, drank omitrition tea, and LA Weight Loss. I want my LA Weight loss back. I loved that program and it seemed to work so well for my brain. They have an LA weight loss at home program but it is $200 a month just for the bars and tracking info an that is too much for 30 protein bars. I started searching for a similar tracking system as LA weight loss and even started to make my own cause I just couldn't seem to find one. I just wanted something similar that would tell me ok you get 3 proteins a day and a portion= 6 oz and once I eat them I check them off. I could always look at the end of the night and be like well I have a condiment and veggies left for the day time for some carrots and ranch. There was not as much wiggle room but I still was able to get a treat twice a week by swapping a protein for a "carb craver" and that got me pizza and stuff. It was the best mix of restriction with out being so strict I quit. Today while searching for diet tracker stickers for my Erin Condren Planner I gasped as I saw something that looked like LA Weight Loss tracking. I got excited thinking I may have finally found what I've been looking for! The stickers I saw are for the 21 Day Fix by Beach Body. So I started researching and comparing LA Weight Loss and the 21 Day Fix and they are extremely similar! I've been told in the past to avoid beach body like the plague because they sign you up for auto ship of Shakology and it is a nightmare to get it canceled. But I know have a couple friends that are beach body coaches now so I felt better about buying it from them instead of from the infomercial or website.
Some of you maybe thinking: why try something else when you already blonde to WW and the gym. And I agree that while ANY of the other programs I tried through out the years would have worked just fine if I stuck to them. This thought used to upset me to no end because I know if I just stock with any of them I'd be good. But now I wonder if everyone needs to find here niche that works best for them. While the new WW program is basically eating the same foods as on the 21 Day fix it is a different way of tracking. It will provide me with less options with out taking away everything. Both WW and the 21 Day fix are about people learning how to eat things in moderation and that is how I truly believe we should eat.
LA weight loss was a great plan for me and I was down 30 lbs on that plan and maintained it for almost a year and then I started gaining it back. LA weight loss never dealt with the core of your fatness so to say. I never learned why I emotionally ate and it wasn't until very recently that I figured out why I have. WW has the new beyond the scale part of their program to help people deal with the root so they don't go back to their old ways. I am not sure how beach body addresses it or if they even do but I know I need to deal with them and I've already started reading some great books and that combined with prayer and the support of my hubby I think I am finally going to address the root of my overeating.
My negative thoughts have beat me up so much inside I have no self worth left. I know now that my fear of what others were thinking of me was attributing to my negative talk. I've been telling hubby for a few months now that maybe it is just because I am getting older but I am getting so sick of carrying what other people think about me all the time. He thinks I never should have in the first place. My Mom was and is a people pleaser, wants to make everyone happy no matter what it takes. I have gotten than trait from her and so when people say negative things about me it really effects me. I don't play that game, I won't speak the "truth" as I see it about anyone because everything is about perspective. And only god truly knows every detail of every situation. Because I am a people please I get left out and forgotten, canceled on because "we knew you would understand". It is human nature to be all about what is best for you and I have always been about what is best for everyone else.
