Self Sabatoge....Time to Move ON!

mmiller21

Why do I set such high goals for myself and work half heartedly to attain them, and get upset and down on myself for the end result. This is a post to rid my mind of the flipping negativity that has been in it for the past 2 weeks. I started this journey, half heartedly in January of this year, and have lost 42 lbs so far. However, I look at others, compare myself to them, and think......I could of lost x lbs by now, what is wrong with me? 42 just doesn't seem that fantastic for how long I have been doing this. Yes, I will admit, cheat days/weeks (eeek), not tracking, and skipping exercise I have all been guilty of. However, I always come back. That counts for something, not freaking giving up. so to all you peeps out there about to give up, DON"T do IT! Because if I would of gave up in April like I almost did, I am positive I would of weighed more now than my starting weight of 289 lbs. My 2 weeks of sabotage has put me up a little, today was the latest at 252, ahhhhh. So it stops now. Focus on the short term goal of 245 lbs by October 31. I will stick to the plan this week, think happy, positive thoughts, and reward myself for a week of sticking to the plan. AND GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
