I had a weight goal \u2013 and I achieved it. I had a dress size goal \u2013 and I achieved it. I had a race goal \u2013 and I achieved it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But instead of celebrating those victories and focusing on\nmaintaining all my tremendous progress, I listened to the little voice in my\nhead that said: \u201cMore.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>If I can be a size 8 , why can\u2019t I be a size 6? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I can lose 5 more pounds to get to that magic number.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I set some pretty unrealistic standards for myself, and in doing so, set myself up for failure. Sure, I worked really, really hard and hit those two arbitrary and ultimately self-defeating goals \u2013 for, like, a minute. But a minute was all that it was attainable for and then I fell off track HARD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The standard of perfection I had set for myself in the springtime was simply not maintainable for this body. I was exhausted from the constant restriction. Worse, now I was on the rebound and trapped in a cycle of negativity. I stopped planning and prepping meals, which meant I made more impulse food choices. Eating less clean meant I put back on those 5 pounds \u2013 and more. And I still pushed myself relentlessly to continue working out as penance for the choices I was making. Working out made me feel in control\u2026but it was an illusion. Control was the very thing lacking during this chaotic season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1293\" height=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/neverdonewithfun.com\/staging\/5228\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/E8B03EC9-3BB0-4C9C-A685-8BF6AB0CE1DF.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/neverdonewithfun.com\/staging\/5228\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/E8B03EC9-3BB0-4C9C-A685-8BF6AB0CE1DF.jpeg 1293w, https:\/\/neverdonewithfun.com\/staging\/5228\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/E8B03EC9-3BB0-4C9C-A685-8BF6AB0CE1DF-300x238.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/neverdonewithfun.com\/staging\/5228\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/E8B03EC9-3BB0-4C9C-A685-8BF6AB0CE1DF-768x608.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/neverdonewithfun.com\/staging\/5228\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/E8B03EC9-3BB0-4C9C-A685-8BF6AB0CE1DF-1024x811.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/neverdonewithfun.com\/staging\/5228\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/E8B03EC9-3BB0-4C9C-A685-8BF6AB0CE1DF-76x60.jpeg 76w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1293px) 100vw, 1293px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There is tremendous power in figuring out what doesn\u2019t work. Experimenting and trying new ways showed me that the lifestyle required to make unrealistic fitness goals permanent is not one that I want to lead. I want to live life, enjoy food, be social, and above all, feel good in my skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At my skinniest, fittest point, I liked how I looked in the mirror \u2013 and that high took me pretty far \u2013 but I didn\u2019t feel good about myself holistically. Strength, dress size and even confidence do not guarantee happiness. Self-love and acceptance, however, do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m back to Body Back with fresh eyes this month, <a href=\"https:\/\/neverdonewithfun.com\/staging\/5228\/2019\/01\/01\/finding-more-in-less-my-2019-mindset\/\">bringing my 2019 mantra to the session: More basic, less extra<\/a>.
