5th March 2015
Avoiding failure is to avoid progress.
Good morning, it's dark out there at the moment, my gorgeous
little Alfie decided to wake me up at 4.30 to say hello, he didn't even seem to
want to go up the garden when I got out of bed, what a darling he is! Can you sense the sarcasm? Anyways, I had to get up at 5, so the extra
30 minutes means I can take my start to the day a bit slower.
More wonderful weight loss yesterday, haven't got the
paperwork to hand but it was really good, you know what though, if you're not
doing well at the moment, reading others success can sometimes be annoying, or
make you feel like you're doing even worse, I think if you are feeling a little
like that at the moment, go take a look in the mirror - that's your
competition!
We're all at different stages of our journey, some at the
start, some just reaching their goal, some of us feel a little like they're
starring in Groundhog Day! Wherever you
are with your weight loss efforts at the moment, the one thing I would say is
don't compare your journey to anothers because the one thing I've realised is
we are not only all different but our own situations and circumstances change
too.
Heck sometimes nothing changes in our lives, we can be happy
as a sand boy, and still for some reason we just can't nail that relationship we
have with eating and make it a healthy one.
Normally when I talk healthy and happy most people would
assume by 'healthy' I mean eating good food that's full of good nutrition and
helps you lose weight or maintain of course.
And they'd be right I do mean that but I also mean, eating the not so
nutritious food in a balanced way so that we don't gain weight from eating
it. I also mean a healthy mind and a
healthy relationship around food.
There's not much point to losing loads of weight if you have an
unhealthy relationship with food still.
Guilt, anger, self hate, all those not so nice feelings, if they are
still how you view your relationship with food and eating, you still have work
to do for sure.
I used to have an unhealthy relationship with food, I'd
constantly have feelings of guilt over what I'd eaten, anger if I'd
overeaten. These days I've accepted I
enjoy eating and I do the best that I can to ensure that what I eat is mostly
healthy and that it's in the correct portion sizes. But, if I do overeat as I obviously have done
the last year, I must have done I'm heavier than I was this time last March, I
don't beat myself up, I focus on understanding my reasons and I give myself a
break, I am much more likely to succeed and be successful with positivity in my
life and a whole barrel full of self love than I ever will be with negativity
and resentment.
Yep, give yourself a break if you're struggling right now,
especially if you JUST DON'T KNOW WHY, that's the worst feeling in the world
sometimes, so just accept that it happens and do your best to get out of that
mindset, because that's the short term goal, is getting your mojo back,
acknowledge your struggling, accept it then take small steps and do what you
can until suddenly you've got your flow back and you're smiling again.
Let's make today a day we mostly smile, one we accept what
is, make changes where we can and change the way we react to what we can't
change!
You way stronger than you know, a single thought in the
morning can change your entire day, what's that thought going to be BeYOUtiful?
