Weight 226 Lost for the week 1 lb.
***tosses confettei*** Someone at work on Friday actually asked me if I was losing weight – and I just beamed a big smile and said YES! It was a real boost to realize that the weight loss is enough to be noticed a little. Of course I was also wearing a size extra pants that day, instead my usual old 2x pair so that helped to make if more noticeable. I have never been into clothes much, so I refuse to spend money on a lot of new clothes right now when the old ones will do just fine and I am still losing so why bother getting new ones at this size, so I make do with what I have.
I am feeling great about each little step and getting much better at not shooting myself in the foot by feeling “I didn’t lose enough.” As I exercise on my stationary bike I have been doing a lot more positive visualization (feeling and imagining the fat cells releasing unhealthy fat and having it move harmlessly through my blood stream and out of my body). During the day and especially right before bed I have been focusing more on positive affirmations such as “I feel healthy, I feel strong.” I think that developing new patterns of thinking is a very important part of my success plan to a healthier body and a lifestyle of wellness. It does seem to have helped me to emotionally feel better most of the time and the bouts of depression, stress, self doubt, etc. are a lot less and much more easily set aside for a more positive perspective to be put in their place. Life right now is also going pretty well which helps because the outside stress levels are down too. But by learning to “rewrite” my negative inner tapes now, I think it will make it easier to handle times when outside events are more stressful and chaotic. And that will lead to me being able to overcome old eating habits such as eating to feel calm, over eating to suppress feelings, and reduce the urge to binge on carbs in order to deal with stressful situations.
