morela12's Journal, 09 May 2012

It's amazing to see that when i STICK to plan, good things happen. I have been really frustrated these past few days with not seeing the scale move and feeling bloated and unhappy with my progress.

First off i had to remind myself a thousand times that i have lost about 22 pounds in a little less than 8 weeks! I should be jumping off the roof instead of getting down on myself because the scale hasn't moved in the last 5 days. I need to be proud of the fact that i've stuck with the plan and that if i eat a bit more food than i have become acustomed to, it doesn't mean that i have failed. It just means that tomorrow is a new day with a new history and new outcomes. I am in control of my own fate in this process.

I need to be able to "live" life vs. monitoring every exact little thing that i eat. I will fluctuate on the scale for the rest of my life. There will be days when i lose and days when i don't. I need to somehow become ok with this. That's my next goal...how do i stop obsessing over the scale and allowing it to dictate how i feel? I know people will say just stop looking at it and weighing myself. But then that sets up a whole other issue that i have, as i feel it helps keep me accountable.

Anyway, this journey is full of new things i need to think about. I spose that keeps me on my toes as well, i think if this process was super easy i wouldn't be able to be SUPER DUPER proud when i get to my goal. The harder the path the better the reward...
