Getting out of the mindset of placing blame and taking responsibility. (Accountability)

Oh boy here I go, going to try not to upset anyone here.

Growing up I had non restrictions when it came to food and my family often ate fast food and junk food was cheap. I grew up a fat kid and into an obese adult. As an adult I had no self control and happily stuffed my face and had no portion control.

When I first started the CICO diet plan I had a difficult time adjusting at first but began to adjust it by filling my meals with protein rich foods and veggies to keep me full. I lost my first 40 pounds that way but I managed to find an excuse to make room for junk. "There was cake at work", "Went out for dinner with my family/ friends", "I just couldn't say no to them". The last part got me and I hear that a lot from people I know that are dieting as well. Nobody will force you to eat junk food and you have to learn how to say no.

It is a lot easier to blame other people and sadly I discovered that (the reason I stopped going to WW meetings was because of all the excuses blaming other people). It was hard myself but taking responsibility for my decisions in my adult life was freeing in a way. I wasn't forced to eat that cake work, I could have looked for a lower calorie option on the menu or researched beforehand, and yes, I could have just said no.

The holidays are coming up and while it can be annoying I'm determined to keep myself checked in and I know that if I stumble or hit a wall it will be my responsibility alone to get myself out.
