Feeling Frustrated?

[Carly 56]

I have been thinking about how my weight loss is going and reading about people's concerns with it being slow, maybe for me too. Then, this morning, I got on the scale and it hadn't moved and I felt that little frustration monster whispering to me, just for a sec tho because I realized something. I thought about how many times I have been on a diet and fallen of the wagon, been unsuccessful, and given up. I thought about how many mornings I have woken up and felt disgusted with myself for what I ate the night before. I thought about how hopeless I felt about my future ability to lose. And I remembered all of the negative discourse in my head about what I failure I was. Then, I realized that things are different now and that even though the weight may be slow to come off, I am not falling off the wagon anymore. I am diligently working towards my goal. I am not tempted by junk food as much, and I am staying strong. The negative voices in my head are being silenced, and THAT is a victory in and of itself! Hopefully the weight loss will follow.
