Yep, I found incentive….
…..caught sight of myself in a three way mirror yesterday and I found tons and tons of incentive to stay on-plan. Wow…what an eye opener. I felt like crying and comforting myself with something absolutely yummy and off-plan, but I was able to turn the negative feelings around and use them for incentive. I guess I’m making progress at this lifestyle change :D We went to TGI Fridays for dinner and I ordered an on-plan salad…then, we took the girls to Dairy Queen for a treat and I ordered nothing! Came home and had my 1/2 cup of SF ice cream, so I didnt feel deprived at all.
The headaches are gone….I was in bed all day on Friday with the last one. Woke up yesterday and was headache free!
The scales are looking very promising for weigh-in tomorrow, so I’m really excited to be able to change my ticker and post on the weight loss thread on 3FC. However, I’m constantly fighting against that negative voice that periodically sneaks back into my head….you know the one……it tells you that “yes, you lost weight this week..but, will the scales really drop again next week?” “You’ve done this before, but never stuck with it” “How long will you committment really last.” I hate that voice!!!! This time, I really need to work on changing my mind-set permanently……I want to make that voice shut-up forever! If others can lose large amounts of weight and keep it off, then why can’t I? What makes them so much more special than me?

I kind of wonder if that voice ever really goes away. I’ve got one of those, too! But, if we keep tuning it out and focusing on the good stuff, maybe it will get quieter. Glad you’re feeling better!
