My weight loss goes in cycles. One week I'll lose 3 lbs and the next week I'll lose a half pound. The past two weeks were weeks where I lost less than a pound which has not been my usual cycle. I think that I got derailed a bit because my husband went away and instead of having one day that I didn't enter everything I ate I had two.
It's interesting how my mood really does play a part in what I eat and how motivated I am and thus how I feel about myself. It would have been the best time to hit them gym while he was gone but instead I wallowed and ate.
I think that I need to be better aware of how my mental self impacts my physical self and what the implications are of that relationship. When I'm feeling positive I automatically eat better and can't wait to get to the gym. When I'm feeling low I sabotage myself.
What a horrible relationship to have with yourself! Imagine if we treated our friends and family the way we treat ourselves sometimes. It would be a very sad and confusing world. I guess the thing I can take from this is to try to remember that I don't deserve to be beat up by my sad self and that no matter what, happy me will return at some point and I should help her out as much as possible.
