oh, woe is me... weigh-in and I didn't lose anything at all. I knew I might not lose because of where I am in my monthly cycle, but I'm still disappointed.
I must remember to treat myself gently, and with love and respect just as I would a friend in my same situation. I wouldn't rail against a friend, so why do I beat myself up so? Why am I so hard on myself? Whose voice am I hearing inside my head? If I were a friend who had worked to stay true to program all week, and the friend didn't lose anything, I would feel compassion, and empathy, and do all I could to support and encourage. I wouldn't tell her she's a loser and a failure because she didn't lose. Why am I so mean to myself?
It would be easy to give up. I'm not going to do that. It's humiliating not to lose. I feel exposed, and shamed.
