LoseIt!

166 views

Last week I was completely grumpy and in a bad mood. I had several pity parties and woke up with a lovely pity party hangover on Monday. Monday is my official weigh in day and although I lost .8 lbs, I know that without caving in to feeling sorry for myself, I would have done better.

 

I realize now, that journaling is what I do to motivate myself. If I write several days in a row, I'm psyching myself up. If I don't write at all, it is because I'm down in the dumps. I don't like to write when I'm sad because it makes me face my demons. Ha!

 

Last week, my grandmother passed away, my uncle was hospitalized, my cousin was arrested, work was tough...all which caused a lot of stress. I think exercising each day kept big emotions at bay, but I could tell that I was cranky. And that just isn't like me. I finally got over it this weekend and yesterday I started to feel better. Plus, I had my support group meeting last night and it ALWAYS inspires me.

 

It is nice to learn these things about myself. This process has been about MUCH more than weight loss!

 

AND...yesterday was picture day. I have attached two original pics and two current pics. I love these little motivators!!

Well, you certainly had a rough week, but you still lost 8lbs. You are doing great. I hope these rough patches pass you by and you can get back to what is really important. Your good health. You have taken such a huge step, keep moving forward.

Wow. I was 231 when I started, but I had no style. I felt ugly in everything I wore, I never felt pretty. You look so stylish in the 240's. It's just amazing the difference confidence can make. Lend me some of yours!!

Sorry to hear about all the stressful things in your life at the moment, but if you still managed to lose 0.8lbs, it means youre still in charge of yourself. Keep at it!!
