Default My first week!!!! I lost!

I just completed my first week of the new me, and I lost 7 pounds!!!!! Woohoo.

I'm so happy!!

I found my old blog and started keeping a diary every day. I'm not sure if I can link to it (yet or at all) but if any one would like to follow it, give me a shout and I'll share the link with you.

I hope that this great 1st week weight loss will be the motivator to keep me on track now for the rest of my life.

I haz a sad.... I put on 2lbs this week I feel like such a failure.

I've been exercising like crazy this week, watched and wrote down what I ate (i.e., followed the Slimming World plan), but my downfall was yesterday at a family meal for my cousin's birthday. I thought I was "good", yes I had a little piece of cake and ice cream, but come on body... give me a break!

This is where I always fall down, I put on a little weight, and feel like a big fat failure.

Hang in there, MrsOrange! I know how it feels to go "darn, I've ruined all my hard work, I might as well give up, I'll always be fat" but I try to think of it in terms of how I would respond to someone I love. If my sister tried to do something, and she was doing really well, but one day she messed up and came crying to me that she'd ruined all her hard work, I'd give her a big hug and tell her that it's only a failure if she doesn't learn from it. If she learns from it, it's just a mistake, and she can move on. So why shouldn't the same understanding and encouragement apply to me? The fact that you recognize the same mistake you have made in the past means you know it's just a mistake, and you have the power to learn from it.

I have a favourite quote, it's from Anne of Green Gables. Anne says "isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?" and I remind myself of it all the time. Every time I realise my day could have gone better, I remember that tomorrow has no mistakes in it yet, and I have the power to keep it that way.

Hang in there! You can do it!
