Reflections on my Wrong Turn

Still can't figure out how I could have made such a blunder. It is almost like I slowly drifted off, fell asleep and woke up one morning, something in my head clicked. Oh Shit! What have I done?

I know how I gained weight. I ate too much, too much of the wrong type of food. That is easy to understand. It is difficulty to understand how I could lose focus.

I left Okinawa, went on the road and left my discipline behind. Came back and it took about 1.5 weeks to snap out of my haze. Madness.

    Okinawaaa!! My brother and I used to holler that out of the car window when we saw our friends... it seemed funny at the time. I lived in Oki for seven years when I was a kid and moved back to the states at 15. Those were pretty awesome years, still miss the island :)

    Well, I just stumbled on your blog, so howdy and hello!! I hope you're having a great day :)

    Isn't that the million dollar question? You are so right - all to often we know what we did wrong, Lord knows I do; however, we still do it. How can we lose focus like that. As I am sure you have read on my blog, I have been the size I am now once before, but I lost focus and gained 2/3 or more of the weight back. All I can say is NEVER, NEVER AGAIN. Sometimes it takes getting knocked down to know how hard the enemy punches.

    My opinion? You go a little crazy when you go off plan. The food you're not used to eating does something to your head. Seriously!

    At least that's how I feel when I go off plan and eat foods I don't really need to eat. It fogs my mind and my good decision making flies out the window. That's what happened to me this summer. I finally clawed my way out of it and am back, but it took gaining 14# before I turned myself around. Aaaahhhhh!!!

    Coley, I am glad you like Okinawa. It is a wonderful place.

    Steve, I did not know made a similar wrong turn. Thank you for sharing that with me.

    TJ - You might be on to something. Some foods might just trigger a 'eat all' nerve. I believe simple carbs do this to me.

    That said, I force myself not to think about it. IT is too complicated. I have a habit of complicating my life and try hard to avoid it.

    In my life, this is where excuses are born.

    Thanks for commenting
