This rings so true, I have started doubting myself again, even though I have had some great success in my weight loss, I second guess that I am worth it all. The things is as I write this, I know I am worth it and I can do it, but I continue to have this mental fight with myself everyday! Why oh why? I do not know. Hopefully over the next 100 days, I can figure something out and move on from this.
Weight loss really is a mental battle with yourself. You are what you think you are! Negative thinking results in negative actions, yet positive thinking results in positive thinking. Sounds so simple, doesn't it? So why is it so hard to follow such a 'simple' policy??
The thing is, I have lived most of my life thinking positively and benefiting the positive outcomes that result in this way of thinking. I have had a challenging childhood which I won't dwell on here, but I could have chosen to let these events of suffering and challengers get me down and I could have chosen a different path in my life, but instead I have always found the silver lining. Yes, most of these events, I would have rather not have happened, but they have all made me the person I am today. Anyway, my point is, even though I mostly live my life in a positive manner, I just can't seem to do it when it comes to weight loss, well not for a long period of time. Yes I have lost close to 25kgs, and during this time I was focused and had my head was in a good positive place, but I have now come to a stand still and can't seem to find that positive way of thinking again.
I am hoping by writing down my journey over the next 99 days and being 100% honest with myself I will regain my focus.
So here is my run down of my first day....All in all today was an ok day. I still made not so good choices, but I made plenty of good ones too.
I did eat hot chips, Dinos (the kids chicken nuggets), Allens lollies and a packet of salt and vinegar chips. On the plus side, I only ate 2 nuggets, 4 lollies and a small packet of chips. Which is a huge achievement for me, to actually stop myself from over eating.
I also walked around town to do my errands burning an extra 257 calories and I just got home from a Zumba session, burning a further 561 calories! So I am stocked with that! I can't always make it to the gym so I need to be creative in the way that I can burn those extra calories during the day.
Anyway, here's to a better tomorrow :D
Cheers Mel
