Alright, girls (*AND GUYS!). It's time to talk about our feelings. Lot's of feelings described here on FS. "Feel like crap. Feel like a failure. I just can't seem to lose this x number of lbs/kgs. I feel so frustrated. I feel like giving up."

I was talking with a counselor the other day, and she said something that got me thinking. She said, "An event happens. It triggers a reaction/feeling. But in between the event and the feeling is a belief. So it goes something like this... An event happens, we believe something about that event, and then we feel a certain way."

event: scale says I'm up 2 lbs/kgs.

beliefs: I'm gaining weight. I'm getting fat. Fat is unhealthy. I can't do this. I've failed again. This always happens to me. This moment defines me.

Feelings: Sad, depressed, unmotivated, hungry, victim.

OR...


event: scale says I'm up 2 lbs/kgs.

beliefs: There's a reason for this and I can figure it out. If I can figure out the cause, I can figure out how to fix it. No one on the planet loses weight in a straight line over time. There have to be ups and downs! our bodies are ridiculously complex. I learn from my experience EVERY day and I get better EVERY day, even if it doesn't show up on a scale. This moment is just a blip on the radar of life.

Feelings: Curious, positive, in control, Can-do, hopeful, encouraged, joyful, etc.

I much prefer the second set of feelings.
