I feel MUCH better today, thank God. I was so upset with myself yesterday for blowing it, but I managed to stay within my calorie intake guidelines so I'm feeling better about it. It WAS a mistake, but I've moved on. Today is weigh-in after work. With all the constipation, knee pain, etc that I've had this week I'm VERY nervous lol. But I've decided that instead of being caught up on the numbers (not EVERYONE can lose 16 lbs in 3 weeks!), this week I'm concentrating more on what I've learned and if I lose 1 lb, it's still a victory. Yesterday I thought I wanted that Bojangles biscuit SO bad, and I was weak enough to go for it. But by the time I'd finished it, I remembered it wasn't that good. I didn't really need it, and I actually didn't really like it. Nothing tastes as good as feeling accomplished feels. Every day that I stick to my guns on my diet and exercise, I go to bed at night feeling awesome. I have to be careful not to sabotage myself and rob myself of that great feeling. I am worth the struggle. I am worth the fight. And when I overcome this fight with my weight, I am going to know that I can do ANYTHING. I'm not giving up, and I'm counting on you wonderful FS friends to keep me accountable! I'm not going to get distracted any more, because I know that one day I'm going to be able to walk into the mall and think "I could try on clothes in any store I want!" And when that day comes, I will know that blowing off the junk that's holding me back was well worth it. Peace.
