BeaugezD's Journal, 09 February 2012

The last couple of days, I have been working on self esteem issues. Do I really deserve to live a healthy lifestyle, what makes me think I can accomplish living my life at 150 pounds? Why don't I just throw in the towel and go back to my old eating habits, it would be cheaper. I will never lose this weight, I am only lieing to myself, friends, and family (again). So where do I go from here? I am trying to motivate myself with positive self talk when I can get it in...I try to tell myself that I do deserve the type of healthy lifestyle that I want to achieve, but doubts are still lingering. I have been trying to face emotional issues by saying it is ok to lose weight, that I do deserve it no matter what anyone else says. I think my husband is more secured within the marriage with his overweight wife. However, he does encourage me when I say something about throwing in the towel, he will say that I have worked so hard. So there are mixed signals, he throws off. I just say that because it is easier with his support...well I am not going to quit as of yet, I haven't walked in a 5 days, maybe that is what I need to clear the cob webs since I normally walk 4 to 5 days a week.

Don't listen to negative thoughts. We don't have to agree with anything negative. We have the power to overcome all thoughts. Living a healthy life is not about "deserving" and don't let anyone's definition of you keep you from being the best you can be. The "best" doesn't have to mean a certain size or weight. But being healthy and comfortable in your skin and clothes is the goal. Set your sights on keeping healthy and the rest will follow. You can do this-for you, for your hubby, or your life.

You totally deserve to lose weight and be healthy. What reason could you ever have to think that is not allowed for you? This is a difficult journey and it is more mental and emotional than physical. As for your husband I can't really comment as I live alone but I have seen this in several posts where the spouse is sabatoging a persons weight loss. I want to just go thru the computer screen and slap those spouses up side the head and say don't you want your partner to be healthy and happy?
