Afraid of the scale but have to keep a positive attitude
I am so afraid of getting on that scale because I know the damage done last week will rear it’s ugly head. So, instead of focusing on the scale I am focusing on eating right and getting back to my workout routine.
I went to the gym yesterday and got in some upper body sculpting and kickboxing in. I was so glad 5 days of no exercise did not effect my stamina or endurance level in class. I wanted to go to yoga but ended up getting into a heated conversation with my honey so we stayed home and made up.
Today, I have a kickboxing and yoga class to go to. In the meantime I have a lot of protein and complex carb food lined up. I have to get back to drinking my water. And I have to start eating about 1500 calories a day.
Hopefully by Friday I would have a 1 lb lose - not asking for too much, just one lb.
On another note, when I was editing my pictures from my time with my relatives, I found myself obsessing over different body parts, wondering why I can’t be as skinny as the rest of my family, wondering why my upper body is bigger then everyone else……etc…. but for once in my life, I am embracing all of me - the good and the bad. So what if my arms are big? I’m working on them and hopefully with a 20 lb weight loss they will be the size and shape I want. I have to love every part of me because God made me beautiful and I know I am. Not vain, just trying to really accept me for me and love everything. I’ve lived too many years not loving myself.
My daily goal from this day forward:
To look in the mirror and truly love me for the person I see and for who I am inside - all of me because I am beautiful. I have to believe it because if I don’t, then no one else will.
New positive attitude = weight loss 
I fear the scale too. I only wieght myself every two weeks or so and if I have not been good and think the result will be disappointing I don’t wiegh in. I will wait a few days and be sure to stick to my plan those days and then wiegh in. No sense in weighing if it is going to sabbotage your efforts. You can do it just jump back on the band wagon and you will reach your goals. Look how far you have come already.
I like my scale. It’s like a friend that gives it to you straight. lol
You have a great attitude girl. Keep it up!
Like I tell myself, just face it and go on. I love what WW said. You can do it!
I love that you are loving you and seeing the beauty!!!! That totally rocks!!!! So happy for you! Love your focus too! Go girl!
Thanks for your words of encouragement. That’s why I love this place. Have a great day ladies :).
Chrisie, I remember our conversation from a a couple months ago. It did resinate (I don’t think I have the correct spelling) with me.
