What I have done this week is quite a lot of thinking, usually dangerous for me i know but all the same I have. My week began with a few bad days and as the rollercoaster WW is I went through lots of stages and emotions as to why I do it, angry mainly as I should know better by now. The whole "only half a pound" arguement kept rearing its ugly head and I realised I put too much pressure on myself to lose quicker than I do.
Why do I need more than half at a time? I don't ! Aslong as its coming off and not going on I should be happy.
I then realised I have been doing this all year, setting myself targets of where to get to by certain dates and then when I don't I feel like a failure, which in turn makes me feel low, and then when I feel low I turn to food, no surprise there tho.
I also realised how much I do to try and show others I can do this, when stupidly I already know I can. I know I will get to goal, no doubt in my mind it's just when.
So no more pressure, no more worrying what others think or feeling I need to prove myself by losing it fast. I can only learn more by finding my way, no matter how long or hard, and the more I learn the more I can pass on if I ever follow up the idea of being a leader.
So here I am, new week, and I have decided its simply a week of back to basics.
Plan Shop Track
This may not seem like much of a challenge but as I have gotten out of the habit of tracking i see it as an important challenge.
Here we go again, hoping to get to meeting next week if i am back from training, but if not I will find another one to make sure I know where I am at.

Just been catching up with your last few posts. I've completely lost my way the last few weeks and also need to go back to basics. I had a bad weekend on August bank holiday and haven't tracked anything since! Luckily I've only gained 2lbs and stayed the same a couple of weeks but that's not good enough! Need to get back to it, I'm 40 next May and have a lot to lose. I'm being realistic as definitely won't get to goal in that space of time but would love to get halfway there which is 3 stone! Fingers crossed I can get my planning head back on and I'm also starting zumba this week which will hopefully spur me on. Thanks for the motivation, just what I needed to read this morning :) x
ReplyDeleteHi Neets B, sorry for the late reply, i am with out laptop so finding it hard to get on here as much as i would like. I hope you have managed to get back on track, and you can achieve great things if you approach with a postive mind. You aim for 3 stone for your birthday, just imagine how good you will feel 3 stone lighter for your 40th. I am pleased to say I am too back in the right frame of mind and after yo yo ing for so long its coming off again.
ReplyDeleteKeep going and we will get there xxx
