Today, I was up 0.4 pounds. I know thats not very much but it still made me sad.....its my first gain since being banded in Sept.
I had really good days and then a few bad ones with poor food choices this week. As I ate the not so good for me choices I kept telling myself "you know this will probably make you gain" but I resorted back to some of my old habits of talking myself into the food. Its like I told myself "weigh in is not til Friday so you have a few more days to cheat". Wow, I haven't had those feelings/thoughts for awhile. It was a reality check that I still have to be mindfull of my "issues" that contributed to my obesity in the past. I know this is not a race or a destination but a journey but it still made me feel sad. I made better choices today and feel confident I will just get back into the saddle. I just need to forgive myself and press forward. Wishing you all a lovely weekend doing things you enjoy!
Definitely forgive yourself and move on! You are doing amazing!
ReplyDeleteYes, learn from it and let it go.

At least it wasn't 4.4 lbs! Keep calm and carry on. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a constant learning process. It's so easy to slip back into old patterns of thinking! Hopefully this will help you make better choices next time. Just keep at it!
