Last night, I reread some of my blogs (anything to keep from doing housework!) and realized on July 29th, I weighted 268, which was almost my 10 pound goal. However, my weight now is 274. I was very upset and angry and ready to give up again. This morning, I did my measurements and realized I had LOST 2.5 inches on my waist, 2.4 on my butt, and .5 on my thighs! Yeah! I realize I am losing weight and gaining muscle, but I thought the scale would show more progress.
I also reread some of my journal entries and realized I have been feeling very down and depressed for the past few weeks. I actually wrote in my journal that "I wasn't worth the effort it takes to get skinny and healthy". So, this morning, I ahve decided to get back on the wagon. Between now and Sunday, I am going to come up with a plan that will work for me, just ME, not someone else's plan and I am going to concentrate on getting healthy, not so much skinny.
And today, I am celebrating my inches lost by eating fruit in my oatmeal and hot tea in a bautiful china cup! Cheers!
Celebrating losing inches!
don't stress yourself to much, i also like to read my old jornals but it makes me only sadder. focus on the positive things and keep doing what you're doing : )
