A quick one. Did well yesterday with my choices. Scale is back down today and today will be a good day as well. Busy though. Lots of driving today and 3 visits. I'm up early and fairly well rested and can hardly believe it is Friday!!
I like that Kingkeld mentioned the word "cheat" as "loosely defined." I don't like that word. I do not like to think of "cheating" it leads me to a deprivation/treat cycle. I didn't "cheat" on Wednesday. I made a choice to eat "off" plan. I know why. I was "punishing" myself. That may sound crazy and I don't have time to go into the details but by now I know myself well enough to know that is exactly what I was doing. Self sabotaging. Fortunately I caught it at ONE day and no more. I do not like that I do that to myself. Eating is NOT the only way I punish myself. I can be very, very mean and ugly to me. Meaner than anyone else who breathes. I'm sure someone out there can relate.
The important part of this is that I KNOW that about myself and I continue to strive to accept it and be kind to myself. I have many more "kind" days than "mean" days and life does go on.
Sorry I've been absent from your journals. You are often on my mind ... just not enough time in the days. I'm sure I'll pop in either later this evening or this weekend.
In the meantime I am grateful for ...
... each and every day.
... safe travels.
... awareness.
... FRIDAYs.
... and this journey of life.
Take care. Kindness, kindness, kindness and one step at a time.

I hear you Carol, no one can be meaner to ourselves than ourselves if that makes sense. We know all our weak spots and therefore our little demons know which buttons to push to make us feel worthless and useless. Glad you caught it at day one. Hope today isn't too arduous though if busy it will pass quickly. Glad you are back on the kindness train; through that little demon off your shoulder. You would think by our age we would have this 'down pat' ie the liking ourselves because we are basically good people, and nice people, yes we are flawed but who isn't? Onwards and downards my friend, in loving kindness. Happy Friday.

I know what you mean Isabel ... by our age ... but I think like many other things ... the joy is in the journey NOT in the destination and perhaps we never completely "arrive?" Thanks!!!

Glad you are back on track and being kind to yourself. You are a wonderful woman and you deserve happiness and kindness. I am going to try and practice some kindness towards myself this weekend. Thanks for reminding me.

I love when a discovery is made. Understanding a day of eating off plan is HUGE in prevnting another day from happening when you aren't making the choice with your best intensions. Sounds good to me all around- Kindness always wins over mean : )

I love the word kindness..it applies to sooo many things..kind to your
self is a must..we are harder on our selves and are so quick to understand others mishaps...and encourage them to do better in a kind
way..so we have to do the same to us..Have a great Friday...Love the
gratefuls...:O)

Hey, beautiful...just popped by to say hello, and tell you how awesome I think you are. I know exactly what you mean...we are our harshest critics and can be meaner to ourselves than our worst enemy. Being kind takes practice and it isn't easy, but as you said, more kind days than mean days, and sooner or later we may get it right. Love ya, Carol...hope you have an amazingly blessed weekend!!! HUGS!
