Why do our minds play tricks on us

Naomi_84

I wake up this morning feeling fatter than usual, a full feeling in my stomach, I'm acutely aware of my wobbly tummy as I get out of bed. I feel down, I look in the mirror and I'm convinced I've put on weight this week. I know I shouldn't weigh myself as it's not weigh in day till Friday but the scales are too tempting so I step on.........I'VE LOST ANOTHER LB AND I STILL HAVE 3 DAYS TO GO! I'M STILL ON TRACK!!

I go back to the mirror with a new attitude and I can see where the fat has gone from, I'm happy with what I see! I'm looking more streamlined and I can see a slight bit of muscle definition.

So what's with these mind games we play with ourselves!!??? It's like I have a setting to sabotage my progress with negative thoughts!! Anyone else suffer from negativity and a mind that plays tricks on them?
