Buffy101's Journal, 12 September 2014

I think my 'self destruct' is a timer that goes off about every hour :) 

I have thought about reasons why we sabotage ourselves very often, as I have done that many times. For me, I think when shit really hits the fan as far as stress I have a habit of running back to the things that used to make me feel better. I have been at this for about a year and a half but that's nothing compared to the 20 years I spent using food as comfort. Old habits die hard, and on top of that then we start beating ourselves up for 'ruining' our diets. I always try my best but sometimes I slip, I'm no superwoman. What counts is dusting ourselves off and moving forward, and I believe that's what success truly is. Have a better day, Buffy :)  

Thanx Yolanda.  

I think it's important to think of the diet path we are on is a journey of continuous days rather than each day being unto itself. If we slip up on one day we can certainly make up for it in the following days. The key thing is to keep looking forward and don't look back. The past is already written and we should get back up and move forward and write out the next chapters the way we want them. Old habits die hard and we must keep making the next day better than the last. I hope you feel better and keep up the resolve.  

I hear ya. I get on well for so long and begin to see a real difference then I hit the self destruct button. Don't know what it is I'm scared of. Not being "that fat girl" ?? or the Big heavy one over there??? Surely I'll be me but just carrying a bit less weight?! I don't know. I just know I do it too and I hate it.
