I did not eat a very good breakfast this morning. I am not even sure why I did that to myself but I did. Then I went with my best friend to Superdawg for her birthday. I ate all of my hotdog, fries and some deep fried veggies. At this moment saying a feel like crap is an understatement. I have a headache and I am tired. All signs that my body was not properly fuel today.
I am not sure why I felt the need to go off plan as badly as I have the last few weeks. I guess I have been all caught up in providing encouragement to others that I have forgotten about myself. Or maybe it is because I have been so close to goal I have given up on myself. It really doesn't matter because I need to get my head out of my rear!!!
The following comments are from my fellow Weight Watchers friends. I am posting them so that I can remember them when I start feeling like I do right now.
- You can't accomplish your goals with your feet to the ground. There is no advice to give other than DO IT. You have to take that first step and as you know from your previous losses, the first step is the hardest. Soon enough, it gets easier and easier. Welcome back.
- First off, I would give just about anything to have your stats. We all have weeks where we gain. Would you talk to a friend the way you're talking to yourself if she gained weight? Remember that if you continue on this way, you'll end up back where you started.
- Don't give up! Look how far you've come, and you're so close to goal! Take out old photos of yourself at your heavtiest/starting weight, and more recent ones. You don't want to go back there ~ take it from someone who has! Remember what it felt like to be that overweight. It's miserable. Just start tracking at your next meal and move forward. Even if you're just maintaining, at least focus on not gaining it all back!
- You're super cute in your white pants that I wish I could wear!! Remember how hard you worked to get to this point and don't let it all be for nothing. Too many of us have done that. It feels great to lose weight the first time around, but when you have to do it a second time, it's aggravating.
- Please don't be so hard on yourself. Get yourself back to a meeting even if it's not your regular one. Even if you gained back 10 lbs better to nip this is the bud now! I know I gained back every pound & then some because I felt the same way. Stop yourself now before you're too far gone. You can do it! Never again let yourself get so far gone!
- Take the first 5 full minutes of the day and clear your mind of everything but one item to ponder. A candle, a sunrise, a golf ball. Whatever. Surprisingly this really puts my mind into focus everyday. Second: start a diary to yourself. Coo at yourself. I write to myself every morning, as if I'm having a conversation with myself. No negative talk; I talk to myself as if I'm soothing my best friend. This whole process is ultimately about how you love yourself, how important it is to take care of yourself.
- That story is familiar to those of us who have been to WW before. Don't let a couple of bad weeks derail all of the good work you have been doing for so long. Face the scale and work from there. Sometimes, the numbers aren't as bad as you imagined. Hope you find some peace!
