Finally Friday!!! I'm working at home today. I have an online class I'm working on, a continuing education course for work. So, today I can multi-task!!! Get the laundry done while I work which will leave my weekend FREE!!! YEA!!!
I continue to swim around in my journey ... perhaps actually treading water at times ... it is okay. I feel less frazzled this morning. I am still tempted to restrict my calories, avoid going out socially, due to my fears about lapsing back into old habits but I am resisting the temptation. It isn't easy ... or natural for me but I know that this is a part of the process. I am not sure what I expected at this junction but I must admit I have been a little taken aback by the strength of my struggle this week. However, I am fully cognizant of the need to stay focused, let the struggle happen and find a new balance.
Once again, there is no hurry!! I will not stress about not losing much this week. I will enjoy each moment and make conscious choices about what goes in my mouth. I will allow myself to enjoy where I am and the progress I have made. I will make choices to look at food as food and not "good" or "bad." I WILL NOT sabotage myself by feeling negative, beating up on myself, or lapsing into automatic eating because I am stressed, scared, overwhelmed, worried, happy, sad, or whatever excuse under the sun I may have at any given moment in time. I WILL REMEMBER that I am not alone and I have a whole cadre of "comrades" who walk this journey along side me.
Have a wonderful day!!! Keep yourselves moving forward!!! Be conscious about your choices and above all ... make choices to be KIND to yourselves as you step along your respective paths ... YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!!
