You see, 2 weeks ago, I weighed 135 and I was convinced that it was a false reading. I EXPECTED this past Monday to be at a higher weight. So, what did I do? I worked toward my expectation rather then my desire. I still have not stepped on the scale, but I did realize something...while I don't think I achieved a lower weight, I found that I can achieve anything I EXPECT.
If I expect to lose weight, I will. If I expect to gain weight, I will. In a sense, my weight has very little to do with nutrition & exercise. It is more about my mind. I need to fuel my mind with the correct expectations, positive reinforcement. I need to see why I allow myself to fail. What are those obstacles that I let overtake me? I know that I allow myself to be taken down by obstacles because I have also seen myself prevail through them.
Over the next couple of posts, I'm going to go back over my past week and look at obstacles I see and work on solutions...
It started on Wed the 24th. I was hungry, but I was supposed to go out on a date and didn't want to eat beforehand. It ended up that he cancelled and by the time I got home, I was starving! It just so happened that my brother brought over Jet's bbq chicken pizza and I had THREE pieces!! With each bite, I felt guilt, but I didn't care.
Obstacle #1: Emotions - while I was hungry, I ate more so cause I allowed myself to fall into the trap of "why bother, no one is going to like me anyway." What I failed to realize is that I am not doing this for a guy or anyone else. This is for ME, so I can feel good about ME.
Solution #1: hmmm....I have to think on this one. Suggestions?
