Weight 207.5 this week a gain 1 lb

I’ll admit this is a bit of a setback - I have no explanation for it - a few theories (I had one sprinkle of salt on my air popped popcorn last night that I had with me when we went to the Harry Potter movie), I forgot to renew my blood pressure medicine a couple days ago and it contains a diuretic — these two things alone are probably why.

It would be very easy for me to let my “funk” from yesterday carry over into today and feed in to my old habit of feeling “why bother” - I starve, I diet, it’s too hard, I’m not getting any where. I am being really good and give up all kinds of treats but the scale is going up - oh whoa is me, poor me, etc. etc. etc.

Sure I still have those old tapes in my head - but the difference now is I have the volume turned down and almost mute. I have to consciously keep turning the volume down and on good days I work on erasing them bit by bit and replacing the old messages with new upbeat postive messages to tell myself.

How do I survive a discouraging weighin? I let myself have a 10 minute pity party and good old fashion pout-fest! Then I say ok that was fun, time to move on. I review my reasons for eating healthy, I renew my pledge to be a warrior of health, I keep positive images, books, thoughts around me - and of course I BLOG! I get my thoughts and feelings back on track and I get my attitude in high gear to focus on HEALTH not the numbers on a scale.

So today I am going to focus on all the things I have in my life that are positive - the love of my family and friends being top of the list, and I’m going to enjoy the awsesome weekend ahead. And I will continue to eat healthy and get fit because it’s health that matters not size!
