Tachatna's Journal, 16 February 2018

I thought about not journaling today and then thought better of it. If I don't write what I'm thinking, I will lose track of things. Being able to go back and read what I've written before helps me through the ups and downs of this journey.

So, yesterday was a "down" day. I felt like I was stuck and not getting anywhere.

Today, I went back and looked things over.

I have successfully gotten off two of my four diabetes meds! That's BIG!

I have lost 5 pounds in a month! That's BIG!

I have come through the raring head of panic/anxiety to regain some stability! That is BIG!

I still need to work on eating MORE. It sounds so stupid to say. It is a hard concept to wrap my head around...having to eat to lose weight. But, realizing it is BIG!

I am still working on drinking more water. Realizing I need to push myself to drink is BIG!

So, all in all, I have made some giant steps and that is positive!

I thank you all for being here to help me stay on track and keep "my eye on the prize".

I'm the same way with drinking water. I like beverages but find water boring. I've been drinking too much diet soda (which eventually I hope to give up all together) and not enough water. I have a couple of big drinking glasses and if I fill one of them up with water I will drink it - 32 oz, just need to do it twice a day. Good luck with you journey!

Well done for writing your journal. It sometimes helps to give you a different perspective on things. Have a great weekend 🙂

Your post is an inspiration to us all! Continued success and water does suck, but our bodies need it. I try to schedule mine to be done at supper time, not to interfer with my beauty sleep lol!

Thanks for sharing! Sometime we are our own worst critizer. It pays to sit back and review our accomplishments. You are doing great!
