Hi everyone! So I really need some motivation here. I'm getting married in October, and really want to lose 20 lbs before then. I am SOOOo mad at myself because since starting a new job in September, I have gained ten pounds. I'm a nurse working two jobs, and often times work both jobs in the same day, which causes me to not be able to work out and make really unhealthy on the go meal choices. Since I don't get home until midnight, sometimes 1 or 2 in the morning, I am starving and binge eat before bed which I know is the worst time to eat! I am really angry with myself because back in January of 2009, I was 25 lbs heavier. Through diet and exercise I lost 25 lbs in 6 months, and was able to keep that weight off until I started this new job. I know I am capable of losing the weight again, i just need some willpower and really need to make myself work out on the days I'm not working both jobs, it's just that I'm so tired all the time, and make excuses for myself, like, "tomorrows going to be a busy day, I should just rest and watch tv today", I have also been making really unhealthy food choices lately. I know myself, and if I continue on this path, it will be a downward spiral for myself where I just keep gaining weight. I want to also look good for this summer as I am in a friends wedding, and don't want to wait til the last couple months before my wedding to lose the ten pounds I have gained, plus the additional ten I want to lose.
Does anyone have any advice or has anyone had a similar experience with losing then gaining weight back, (or just feels stressed/exhausted from their jobs?!! lol) I am in some desperate need of motivation (besides the thought of squeezing myself into my dress!) Also, does anyone have tips on healthy snacks for on the go? Thanks so much for reading!
