So I went to my appointment eager to show the doctor that all my hard work had paid off and when I got on the scale there, my weight loss was only 5.5lbs, I was a little disappointed.
Okay so I take that back, I was very disappointed. I didn't understand why the numbers weren't more. I felt like I have done better than I have ever done and wanted to see the results on the scale.
But instead of blowing things out of proportion and giving up completely (again) or totally sabotaging my efforts by going on a food bender, I decided to do a little retail therapy. I went to the store and bought a pretty new bedding set and some new work out clothes, I may be disappointed but its only one weigh in and hey I lost five pounds!!! I am rewarding myself in Healthier ways, not with food. So even though the numbers are not killer this month, at least they are going in the right direction, and my behaviors are better, can't really ask for more than that. I have said all along that this whole issue with weight and eating is 99.9% mental, if I can beat that, the numbers will continue to go down.
Now to really start the physical stuff.
My buddy/co-worker has challenged another friend/coworker to a training duel, to see who can assist me and another friend in losing the most weight by July 1st of this year, so I am going to be entering a gym membership this week, this could be interesting....
I have been very fortunate to have really great family, friends and coworkers who keep me motivated, thank you guys! Next weigh in my numbers will be fabulous!
Patiently plugging along~C
By the way,
I have found a great resource, its a book by Geneen Roth, I will share the info at the bottom of this entry, if you are interested in losing weight or have another vice you are trying to break I would say give it a read, (thanks Hannah)
