Ah another morning and the weight is still the same. I was hoping there would be a drop this morning but instead I had to listen to a rant from my inner bully.
IB: See? Yeah, I don't know why you don't just give up. You aren't destined to be below 200 lbs. It's not how your body is designed.
ME: Sure I am. I've been below 200 lbs before and I can do it again.
IB: When was the last time? 5 years ago? More?
ME: It was a little over 5 years ago but the last time I was at 200 was a little over 5 years ago, too. I know it's possible because I've been below this weight before.
IB: Sure, you've been in the 190's before but how long were you able to maintain it? Not very. Face it, this just isn't worth all the effort.
ME: It IS worth all the effort. To Me! I'm doing this for ME-not YOU. I learned how to read and write as a child. That took a lot of time and effort, too. I'm focused and walking the path, doing all the steps.
IB: You don't even know what the steps are. You are just doing what someone else says will work. Look at the scale. Where's the proof that this plan is correct?
ME: Yes, the proof is in the scale. I'm down almost 40 lbs in 5 months. That's pretty remarkable and shows me that this plan works. Besides I have an entire community of people to ask for help and guidance with this plan and I feel freer around food than ever before. I'm continuing on because this is how I LIVE now, it's not a short term plan. I'm not going to back to unlearning how to read and write and I won't be going back to unplanning my food and my quantities either. So Shut the Hell Up IB.
I have moved on to eating my breakfast-that was written down last night in my food journal and measured out on my digital food scale. Now I'm settling in to listen to the recording from last nights Bootcamp coaching camp on line. The Inner Bully has been silenced.
I hope all my FS friends are winning the battle of BS with their own Inner Bully.

Thanks for the support Laudian and jeannie (ha-I was at the threatened end of that bat a time or two myself. I did measure on the 24th when I started the Bright Line Eating Bootcamp so it's too soon to do that again just yet. I'm certain it's just my body's way of trying to "survive" and hang on. Weight loss is something that evolution has trained us NOT to do or else we die, right? It's just that seeing that same marker over and over gave the ole inner bully a chance to speak up and talk smack to me about it. Fingers crossed for tomorrow's weigh in. I'll be at the end of my first week on the Boot Camp. So excited...

Hide your stupid scale for a couple of weeks, and focus on healthier eating habits and your exercise routine. You'll have a nice surprise next time you weight in, and the stupid IB will be silenced ;)
It works for me, I only weight in every other week and it has help me with the negativity and the downtalk.
keep it up!

exactly that is happening exactly with me at the moment and I was getting frustrated, but today I got my inner motivation and go back to track by pushing in eating my 1000 cal/day, not more. Congratulations Selby!
