Hi JJ, I agree with twinieten about visiting the scale daily. When I don't weigh-in I can play games in my mind about what's going on. The thing to get past is the difference between what the scale says today and what I want it to say when I hit my 'goal'. But honestly, if you can see victory in days when you don't gain, and days when you lose a couple of points of a pound, you'll feel much better about your ability to hit goal.
Another thing that I'm working on is thinking that I'm inadequate until I hit goal. Which is total C##p, of course. But if I'm inadequate, there's really no reason to go out and try things that will make be happier and healthier because I believe that those things won't get me any where. When, really, of course if I at least 'fake it until I make it' I'll be racking up those healthy habits that will get me where I want to be. And, really, we shouldn't be doing those things to get to the endpoint of losing weight, we should be doing those things to care for ourselves.
And, you know, I think I'll get myself a vision board and post this post right in the middle of it for a daily reminder.
