I think when ever i try to lose weight it's as much a battle with my mind as it is a battle with my physical weight. Even more so really! This may sound stupid but i even think that my mind tries to trip me up and look at things in a negative way when i really should look at the bigger picture. I ask myself and all of you, does this only happen to me or does anyone else have a battle with their own minds when trying to lose weight?
This is my 7th day of eating healthy and last night i had some biscuits, 9 biscuits to be exact. This morning when i woke i felt really sad and i felt that all too common feeling of nearly giving up. While i was getting ready i thought what am i doing!! I have been eating well for 7 days and exercising and one small slip and i think it's a disaster!! So i looked at the bigger picture and told myself that actually i had done really well and had achieved something. This as always been my problem when trying to lose weight. It's like my mind plays games and tried to sabotage the positive things and turn them into negatives.
So my question is to all of you...
...Mind games, does this happen to you??
